Reports on OC4j Standalone

Hello
Do somebody know how can i integrate the reports rwservlet funcionality, a servlet that you can invoke passing report parameters, on oracle OC4J standalone installation?
what about OAS?
Thanks.

Hello,
You can use a Sysinternals free tool (filemon, procmon , ...) to check which DLL oraclient10.dll is used ..

OC4J Standalone + iAS enterprise manager?

Hello everyone
We have recently been looking into OC4J standalone as a possible solution to our particular installation. We have an installation of iAS 10g2 which is configured so that each of our clients have their own environments; we mostly deal with legacy forms and reports. Each client has their own form listener, config files, report directories, etc. This is fine for our purposes.
The issue is with deploying applications in OC4Js. We could create an OC4J per client in iAS, but they would still all need the ias_admin password to deploy apps either through enterprise manager or JDeveloper. This is not desirable and is not going to happen.
With standalone OC4J we can have one per client, each with their different settings and passwords. Network ports are different for each client which is a bit troublesome but not a deal breaker. The big issue is with monitoring.
Is there any way to have the iAS 10g EM console include standalone OC4Js? Is there a way to do it from Grid Control?
Would appreciate any advice you may have.

There is recent a thread on here about how people have approached adding additional users over and above ias_admin for the purposes of managing EM. I haven't looked closely at the solutions yet, but I suspect that even by simply adding a new user as they are doing, the privileges the new user has will be the same as the ias_admin user -- in 10.1.2 (R2) and earlier it was a very coarse permission model.
And there's no support for managing OC4J standalone instances via EM or GC in R2.
What sort of applications are you deploying -- you mention forms and reports and in that regard you are restricted to R2. But if you are "deploying" custom Java applications, then using 10.1.3 (ie R3) may be an option -- in which case there are several things that may be of interest.
1. We've added support for a finer grained management model. You can create new users with a smaller set of administrative privileges -- all, deploy-apps, monitor. So you can create a cluster of servers, each with OC4J instances and users can login with their specified username and perform the tasks they have been assigned. It's not ideal since the permissions are relatively coarse (all, deploy apps, read/monitor) but its better than what was in 10.1.3.
2. If you wanted to pursue the standalone instance route, then with 10.1.3, each instance does actually embed EM, so it can be managed from a browser. With the pure standalone instances, you can't really collect them into a cluster -- each one is purely a standalone instance, but it now has its own EM console. However we have added an installation option to lay down what is essentially an OPMN managed standalone instance -- in which case you get the OPMN management layer around OC4J standalone, which in turn allows them to be collected into a cluster -- so you have a single point of management access for all the Oc4J instances. Again you could create an per instance user so that each user can only log into their own specific OC4J instance -- one thing to keep in mind that each instance does need the same global user provisioned to allow EM to operate correctly. But you can create additional users on an instance basis at will.
Again, all these things are in the 10.1.3 R3 release -- which if you are purely working with forms and reports won't help you. If you are deploying custom Java applications, then this is something you could investigate.

How GET Output to Excel with Oracle9i Report using OC4J

how GET Output to Excel with Oracle9i Report using OC4J.
I FINISHED THE SETPS CONCIDERING THE JSP CODE NEEDED TO GET THE EXCEL OUTPUT ON LOCAL MACHINE.
I NEED TO PUBLISH THIS REPORT THROUGH APPLICATION SERVER.
THE QUESTION IS:
1- HOW TO START AN OC4J INSTANCE FROM ORACLE 9I DS FOR THIS REPORT?
2- WHERE (PATH) TO PUBLISH THE REPORT ON THE APPLICATION SERVER?
3- WHAT IS THE DEFAULT URL TO RUN THIS REPORT AND WHERE TO PUT IT?
4- HOW TO MAKE MAPPING FOR DIRECOTRY PATH TO TRANSLATED AS URL FOR THIS REPORT?
5- IF ANY ONE CAN GIVE ME THE FULL CODE TO RUN AND CALL SIMPLE JSP REPORT TO BE VIED IN INTERNET EXPLORER.
THANK YOU

Hi,
I can't answer to all your questions, however I can tell you that:
2) The directory where to put the report file is specifiend in a file named
<serverName>.conf
in the sourceDire property
<property name="sourceDir" value="/directory/dove/mettere/i/report"/>
that you can find under ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf
3) The URL is
http://<server IAS address>:<port number>/<jsp file path>/<repName>.jsp?server=<report server name>&userid=<user>/<pwd>@<DB conn string>[&<param>=<valore>[&...]]
5) In IE you have only to set the previous URL in the address bar.
Hope this helps you
Bye

How Do You Deploy a War File to The OC4J Standalone ?

I have a .war file that contains example code and I would like to deploy it to my OC4J Standalone.
I tried putting the war file in the applications directory and adding a line in the server.xml file but I received the error:
Error instantiating application at file:/C:/OC4JStandAlone/pdk101202_oc4j_extended/j2ee/home/applications/displaytag-examples-1.1.war: Unable to find/read assembly info for C:\OC4JStandAlone\pdk101202_oc4j_extended\j2ee\home\applications\displaytag-examples-1.1 (META-INF/application.xml)
It appears it was expecting an .ear file instead of a .war file
Is there an easy way to deploy a .war file to the OC4J Standalone?
Thanks,

Please refer to the OC4J FAQ on :-
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/1012/collateral/OC4J-FAQ-101202.pdf
Q 24 should have your answer.

The error was in the execution of OC4J embebbed. OC4J uses its own libraries for web services and xml.
You can deploy an application with JAX-WS 2.0 if you add this java option:
-Xbootclasspath/p:<dir_libs>\xml-apis.jar;<dir_libs>\xercesImpl.jar;<dir_libs>\xalan.jar;<dir_libs>\saaj.api.jar
And the jars of JAX-WS are added as libraries to the application.
With this solution you solve the problem: OC4J uses this libraries, not their owns, include the xml libraries.

OC4J Standalone Distribution - License needed?

Hi,
I'm using APEX 3.2 on a 10gR2 Database with an Oracle HTTP Server (Apache 1.3). In order to enable PDF generation within APEX, an OC4J standalone is needed according to PDF Printing in APEX:
[http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html#05]
Can someone confirm that OC4J standalone does not need to be licensed separately? According to every Apex documentation the "Apache FOP with the OC4J standalone" is the way to go if you don't want to spend extra money on Oracle Licenses. And I definitely do not need the whole Oracle Application Server.
What really disturbed me was the first sentence on the OC4J Standalone Distribution Web Page:
[http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/utilsoft.html]
All software on this page is to be used according to the development license unless you are a licensed Oracle Application Server customer. Oracle Application Server customers can use this software according to the terms and conditions of your Oracle Application Server license.
I'm not a licensed Oracle Application Server customer but I wan't to use the OC4J standalone in a production enviroment! Do I need to license OC4J standalone?
Regards,
Marco

hi %,
The official oracle reply:
Please find below additional information to OC4J licensing:
OC4J Standalone version can be downloaded for free from OTN but its usage is subject to the OTN Agreement.The OTN agreement is very restrictive and it is important that the partner and end user know of these restrictions.
There is a link to the OTN Agreement on the url provided:
+[http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/utilsoft.html |http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/utilsoft.html ]+
For example, the OTN program cannot be used for internal data processing or for any commercial or production purposes, or for any purpose except the development of a single prototype of your application.
For for any commercial or production purposes OC4J is part of Internet Application Server (Standard Standard One and Enterprise Editions) and WebLogic Suite. These programs would need to be licensed in order to use OC4J.
Unfortunately, I do not have an Oracle supported way to genereate PDF within APEX which does not cause any additional license costs.
cheers,
Marco

When i run report through OC4J Application i get a exception message

When i run report through OC4J Application i get a exception message saying Server returning invalid xml and the exception number is JBO -29000. The Reports Server is installed on machine having IP 10.191.99.254.
Below is the exception message:
(oracle.jbo.JboException) JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.JboException, msg=JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: java.io.IOException, msg=Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://10.191.99.254:8888/reports/rwservlet/showjobidnull
Anybody Please help me out with this issue.....because I am really fed up with this problem....want some urgent help.....
One possible workaround which I could make out is there needs change to be made in the .rdf files in Report Builder and then inside the User Parameters we change the Initial Value to * from % because the Reports Server encodes every value as %Initial_Value% and hence if the initial value for the parameter is % then it does not get a valid value and hence it returns as an invalid xml
But unfortunately it seems this workaround does not work.Please help as soon as possible.

Hi,
you said that some changes were made in the .xml files but i had said that all the files present in Reports Developer or Reports Builder are .rdf files and I had made changes in the .rdf files for this articular report and then compiled it thereitself and then ran a paper layout of the report but the report did not comprise any data.
There was sufficient data also to populate the report. So this may not be a database issue. Please help if you can ASAP.

Can Jdeveloper TP4 deploy apps to OC4J standalone TP4

I tried to have JDeveloper TP4 deply my ADF web app to the latest OC4J standalone version but I get the following error:
Caused by: java.lang.InstantiationException: Import was not resolved for riscs.root:0.0.0: shared library "adf.oracle.domain" could not be found.

     at com.evermind.server.ApplicationStateRunning.initializeApplication(ApplicationStateRunning.java:179)
     at com.evermind.server.Application.setConfig(Application.java:538)
Before I spend alot of time debugging is this currently supported or can I only use the OC4J shipped with JDeveloper?
Thanks.

The sad part about this thread is that we seem to be talking about completely separate products, like they are from different companies. I have not been given the secret decoder ring to determine which parts of the suite really work together or when the magic convergence will occur. From a client/customer perspective these are part of an Oracle suite of applications, and I can assure you that clients have spent significant amounts of money and have an expectation (which was sold to them) that that all parts of the suite work together "seamlessly".
I think everyone using TP releases understands and accepts a certain amount bugs and integration issues, however I have been working with 11G components for almost a year and I sometimes wonder if Oracle really understands the stress created on consultants when the "right-hand" does not seem to notice what the "left-hand" is doing.
Our project requires JSF/ADFFaces, Rules, XML, WebServices, ORM(Toplink/EclipseLink?), JEE5 Container, SVN version control integration at a minumum. It has been a monumental effort to create even prototypes to show our client progress toward the vision that was sold. We are continually being told that all will be good when all the products become production. This is a very big risk where failure is paid for by consulting not product.

Oc4j standalone 10.1.3.3 and service registry with ssl install help needed

Hello,
I'm trying to install service registry with oc4j standalone for testing and demoing but am having some difficulty with the ssl side of things.
I have setup a oc4j standalone 10.1.3.3 and configured the following ports:
default http port: 9991
ormi port: 9992
ormi ssl port: 9993
https port: 9994
I have configured oc4j standalone for SSl as per instructions by copying default-web-site.xml to secure-web-site.xml and added secure="true" to <web-site> tag and added <ssl-config keystore..../> as well. I've also modified server .xml and added <web-site path="./secure-web-site.xml" /> into the file.
I have then installed service registry as a publication (discovery) with http port pointing to 9991 and ssl enabled pointing to 9994 with oracle database.
I can load http://localhost:9991/ and also https://localhost:9994 and both secure and non-secure page loads fine for the oc4j webpage. I can load http://localhost:9991/registry/uddi/web/ page but when I click on any of the link on it tries to load https://localhost:9994/registry/uddi/web i get a http 404 not found error.
Tried googling and searching the forum for info, but I'm in need of a little help on where I went wrong.
Thanks

Hy frank, thanks for your reply:
We use a jdk shipped with jdeveloper for running OC4J;
"<JDev install dir>\jdk\bin\java.exe"

Difference between oc4j 10.1.3.1 and oc4j standalone 10.1.3.2

Hi ,
I have created an Application in OC4j standalone 10.1.3.2 which is working fine. Now i am trying to deploy the same application in oc4j 10.1.3.1 which is bundled with Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.x) and it deploys successfully.
But when i run the application it does allow some transaction with the Database(not all as i am able to login). are there any difference in bundled JAR files that might be causing this issue?
Any help is appreciated.

Update:
I compared all the JAR files from standalone OC4j with the ones bundled with OAS OC4J.
Only a few files differed.
I was able to isolate oc4j-internal.jar. If i copy oc4j-internal.jar of standalone OC4j to OAS Oc4j folder then my app seems to run fine.
What is the significance of this file? also, will my upgrading of this file affect other apps deployed earlier in the OAS server? Please advise.
Regards,
Swen

From what I can tell, it looks like my lookup was successful but the class name is __Proxy0, which is weird.
Here are a sample of my code:
the parameters are: url = 199.5.201.102:23791/loto User= admin password:admin id:loto
public GameDriverRemote getGameDriverFromURL(String id, String url,
String user, String password) {
try {
Context context = getInitialContext(url, user, password);
logger.debug("Context Lookup ID="+id);
Object obj = context.lookup(id);
if (obj!=null) {
logger.debug("Context Lookup found :"+id+" Class Name = "+obj.getClass().getName());
GameDriverHome gameDriverHome = (com.mot.vla.game.GameDriverHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, com.mot.vla.game.GameDriverHome.class);
String tt= gameDriverHome.getClass().getName();
logger.debug("Done looking up home =>"+tt);
if (gameDriverHome != null) {
System.out.println("Game (" + id + ") Driver Home Interface Found");
logger.debug("Game (" + id + ") Driver Home Interface Found");
GameDriverRemote gameDriverRemote = (com.mot.vla.game.GameDriverRemote) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(gameDriverHome.create(), com.mot.vla.game.GameDriverRemote.class);
return gameDriverRemote;
catch (Exception e) {
logger.error("Game (" + id + ")Driver Loading Error", e);
return null;
static public Context getInitialContext(String url, String user,
String password) throws Exception {
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
// set the environment properties
System.out.println("Get Initial Context");
logger.debug("Get Initial Context");
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ormi://"+url);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, user);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
env.put("dedicated.connection","true");
try {
// create an initial context using the above environment properties
return (new InitialContext(env));
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Context initializtion error");
e.printStackTrace();
logger.error("Context initializtion error", e);
return null;
any help will be appreciated

What is OC4J StandAlone?

Hey Techies,,,,
OC4J standalone is a distribution of Oracle Application Server product that contains just the J2EE and Web Services components. OC4J standalone is much smaller than the full Oracle Application Server product and is downloaded as a single zip file. It is executed as a single Java process.
OC4J standalone is J2EE 1.3 compatible and is able to be used in both development and small scale production environments. OC4J standalone provides its own inbuilt HTTP/S listener to allow clients to execute Web applications that it has deployed. Application deployment and server configuration of OC4J standalone is performed by the manual editing of a simple set of XML files.
For large scale enterprise deployments, the Oracle Application Server product is likely to be more suitable with its comprehensive feature set including Oracle HTTP Server, process monitoring and management capabilities, and its configuration and management console.
IF THERE IS ANYTHING TO BE ADDED PLEASE ADD...
Thanks-San

It may be too obvious:
- OC4J standalone is a full J2EE container.
- It runs as a java application and you need to start it from the command line like java -jar oc4j.jar
- From 10.1.3 it includes a management console.
- As every J2EE container OC4J can run a number of J2EE applications which include EJBs, Servlets, JSPs, JSF and WebServices.
- Nearly the same J2EE container is included in Application Server (AS) but as has a number of additional features like opmn which takes care of starting OC4J containers when needed, eg when it crashes.
- With AS you manage more then one OC4J container while with Standalone you usually run one OC4J from the command line.

Please advise.
Thank you.

Difference between OC4J Standalone & IIS for BI Presentation services

Hi experts,
i had this question in my mind for last couple of weeks and did not get good answer by self study.
my understanding with IIS & OC4J server is,
1.if BI Presentation services is setup to IIS Webserver, It is also using OC4J as application server, because IIS is just an HTTP Server where the presentation services also need an Application server which is OC4J for OBIEE. Is this true.
2.if the IIS Server is only HTTP Server, what is OC4J and standlone OC4J for OBIEE.
i think the difference between IIS and OC4J is ( true or false)
1. oc4j or oc4j Standalone is application server( contains OC4J Instance(J2EE) and HTTP Server)
2. oc4j itself has a an HTTP server which is used if we dont plan to deploy IIS Webserver.
3. IIS server is only HTTP which can be used in Production environments and will still use OC4j as application server.
MY question is how to configure IIS server and configuration files and oc4j if we plan to deploy a environment like this.
i followed OBIEE installtion documents and did not get a clear picture.
there is something called PLUG-IN's (iis plugin and j2ee plugin ) which is used if we deploying on IIS and OAS(WEBLOGIC)
this is is my understanding and Please Correct me if i am wrong
thanks
kumar
