Setup meta-inf/orion-application.xml through jdeveloper

Hi,
I have a bc4j application. I don't want to use the default orion-application.xml file.
I created a new one and put that under a new folder named meta-inf.
In project properties, I created a new file groups named meta-inf and defined my new meta-inf folder.
when the project gets deployed, doesn't have my custom orion-application.xml file.
it is still using the default one.
Any idea?
thanks,
Setare

Hi,
you can only have one orion-application.xml in a project and it need to be in the specified location. You can change the default with your file, but this is what you can do.
If you don't believe, open the deployment profile of your application, which is the part creating teh WAR and EAR file, and add a new File Group pointing to this directory (note that the directory must be under the SRC folder of the project

Integrating orion-application.xml deployment with JDeveloper?

Hi all,
I am trying to create JAAS secured web/ear application but haven't found the
way to integrate the orion-application.xml file in the JDeveloper
deployment process. An alternative would be to insert orion-application.xml tags
into orion-web.xml and copy this one to the usual WEB-INF along with web.xml
another possibility would be directly copying orion-application.xml to the
%J2EE_HOME%\application-deployments\MyApp\orion-application.xml after deployed
in the OC4J Server, but would be lot easier just having JDeveloper deploy it
automatically, what is the way to do it?

Giovanni

The middle of that thread (read the beginning to get the full context) has an answer relevant to your question here.
------ begin quoted --------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
JDeveloper 9.0.2 is limited in this area unfortunately. For the use case you are describing, there are two work-arounds:
1) Use an Ant build file (or any other script) as you mentioned.
2) Do your testing in the embedded OC4J server instead of an external OC4J server. You should then be able to make manual changes to the orion-application.xml file used by the embedded server -- it's in the Workspace directory and has a name like "Workspace1-oc4j-app.xml".
We were expecting users to use Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) to configure production J2EE applications, since JDeveloper is a development tool whereas OEM is the real server administration tool. For some time, we've debated internally on the JDev team whether that kind of feature separation across Oracle products makes sense. It's clear that developers like you need to perform some administration tasks in the course of testing a production app, so we focused on allowing that for JDeveloper's integrated OC4J server ("embedded OC4J") and left the administration of an external OC4J server to OEM.
For future JDeveloper releases, we will probably have an increasing level of direct support for OC4J administration, but to what extent we will pursue that is still in discussion.
For 9.0.3, I've filed bug 2392697 to track the issue you are reporting (with reference to this OTN thread) to make sure that it is resolved properly for the 9.0.3 release.

Autocreate-tables="false" orion-application.xml

using oc4j standalone(9.0.3). CMP2.0. jeveloper(9.0.3).
The jdeveloper Domain UML entity diagram and generated
entity beans are deployed with default tables generated. The EJB2.0 Dev Guide(9.0.3), says to copy the generated orion-ejb-jar.xml from the deployment directory to the source meta-inf directory to prevent the tables from being re-genrated in the database. However the EJB2.0 Howtos say to set autocreate-tables="false" in orion-application.xml to do this.
Do I need the orion-application.xml file in the application ear file in addition to the orion-ejb-jar.xml? So far I've been able to deploy and run without any orion files, and I would rather keep them to a minimum

"Self I said..."
Got frostbite waiting for a reply. I tried deploying
with just the orion-ejb-jar.xml in the application ear file. Table were not created, so it looks like I can go with just one orion file for now. I can leave the orion-application.xml with autocreate=false, out of the ear file, for now anyways.

Orion-application.xml

I am packaging an application for deployment. Using JDeveloper, I created an orion-application.xml and it was placed in src/META-INF. When I deploy to an ear file, I see that my orion-application.xml is packaged. However, when I deploy it to my stand-alone OC4J instance, a new, default orion-applicaiton.xml is created and mine is nowhere to be found. I see no errors reported in any of the logs about any possible syntax errors with mine. Anyone know what I may have done wrong? Thanks!

Did you check how the EAR was formed by your JDeveloper? There should be an orion-application.xml file with in META-INF dir starting from the root of your ear file check for this.
Any how when it you deploy to standalone oc4j, it modifies your packaged orion-application.xml file a little bit i.e it addes the items to it and then deployes.
The items that gets added to orion-application.xml before it gets deployed is as follows.
<namespace-access>
          <read-access>
               <namespace-resource root="">
                    <security-role-mapping>

Orion-application.xml location

Hi,
I am building an EAR file in JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 and then deploying it on 10G server. I need to add the orion-application.xml file to my EAR file. Where should I put it relatively to the home directory of my web application?
This file already exists on the server in application-deployments/<app_name> directory, however it was copied there manually.
thanks in advance

You have to put it in the META-INF of the EAR. The directory where the application.xml resides.

Newbie: orion-application.xml in both deployment and applications dirs

Okay,
I am using OAS 10.1.2.2 and have deployed an OC4J instance with a web application. The web application that I deployed (from a .war file) was installed normally but for some reason I have an orion-application.xml file in both the +/application-deployments/webappname/+ and the +/applications/webappname/META-INF/+ directories. They look almost identical with the differences noted below:
applications directory version:
This file has a complete definition for the jazn provider but is missing a reference to the principals.xml file.
jazn section looks like this:
     <jazn provider="LDAP" location="ldap://ldap.server.edu:389">
          <property name="ldap.user" value="cn=username" />
          <property name="ldap.password" value="!password" />
          <property name="ldap.cache.session.enable" value="false"/>
          <property name="ldap.cache.realm.enable" value="false"/>
          <property name="ldap.cache.policy.enable" value="false"/>
          <property name="jaas.username.simple" value="true" />
          <jazn-web-app auth-method="SSO"/>
     </jazn>
application-deployments directory version:
It points to a principals.xml file and gives a generic definition for the jazn provider (specifies provider="LDAP" and a default-realm but no location attribute in the jazn tag).
jazn section looks like this:
     <jazn provider="LDAP" default-realm="whidbey1">
          <jazn-web-app auth-method="SSO"/>
          <property name="jaas.username.simple" value="true" />
     </jazn>
I assume the one defined in the +/applications/webappname/META-INF+ is the proper one since it has all the detailed OID connection information. However, are both needed? If so, why? If not, which one is being used and why would there be two of them?
I've checked all the documentation and have found several references to it being installed in one or the other place but not both.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Hi,
The difference between these files is this:
The one in the applications/ tree is the one that comes packaged in your ear file. This is a way to package your deployment preferences. At deployment time, enterprise manager extracts this file to configure your deployment.
The one in the application-deployments directory is the one that is actually in use.
LDAP connection from OC4J containers is specified on the container level, because this is container-level security. This means that using the enterprise manager, you configure your container to connect to the LDAP (enterprise manager, tab administration, item Identity Management). In the orion-application.xml, you no longer need the details because they are stored on container level. So these are removed when deploying your application, leaving only what you see.
The configuration parameters you specify can be added as container startup parameters using -Dparam=value.

Orion-application.xml gets overwriten when deploying with admin_client.jar

Hi,
I am trying to deploy an ear in OC4J 10.1.3.3.0. The ear contains a META-INF folder with a application.xml and a orion-application.xml files.
When running the admin-client command line, the deployment overwrittes the orion-application.xml file.
I really don't know how to solve this problem.
What else could I do?

Greetings,
The file orion-application.xml is an oc4j-specific file. If you do not create this yourself it will be created during deployment of your application.

Problem deploying connector: META-INF/ejb-jar.xml not found in jar file

          Has anyone seen this problem:
          I built Sun's Blackbox implementation and packaged
          it identical to the BlackBoxNoTx.rar included with
          Weblogic's 'jconnector' sample (even using the same
          ra.xml and weblogic-ra.xml). When I try to deploy
          it, the server reports:
          java.io.FileNotFoundException:
          META-INF/ejb-jar.xml not found in jar file
          I have no idea why the server thinks my connector
          is an EJB. If I deploy the BlackBoxNoTx.rar included
          with the sample, everything works without a hitch.
          The only variable that I'm changing in my BlackBoxNoTx.rar
          is that I build the Blackbox classes myself--otherwise,
          the RAR packagings are identical. Any assistance is
          greatly appreciated since I'm banging my head against
          a wall...
          Thanks,
          -jason


          I was finally able to resolve this one. On the odd chance that someone else encounters
          the same problem, here's what went wrong:
          My RAR file had two directories: 'META-INF' and 'meta-inf'. The first was created
          by the jar tool and contained the manifest.mf file. The second I created manually
          and it contained my ra.xml and weblogic-ra.xml. When I examined the RAR using
          any tools or I extracted the contents, it looked like it only contained one directory:
          META-INF (because NT is case-insensitive).

OC4J orion-application.xml - elements and attributes

Hi. i read in oracle docs sentense like this: "Each property maps to an element attribute in the orion-application.xml descriptor." These properties are from deployment plan and i need to know what is the name of the element in orion-application.xml wich is mapped to webSiteBinding property (from deployment plan).

I just did a quick test of this, and it seems to work for me.
I used the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<Employees xmlns="
http://www.foo.com/Employees">
<Employee Id="001">
<LastName>Davis</LastName>
<FirstName>Kirk</FirstName>
</Employee>
<Employee Id="002">
<LastName></LastName>
<FirstName>James</FirstName>
</Employee>
<Employee Id="003">
<FirstName>Anthony</FirstName>
</Employee>
<Employee>
</Employee>
</Employees>
With the XPath "/Employees/Employee" I got rows in the data
set and things displayed fine in my page. Changing it to
"/employees/employee" caused the data set to have no rows which I
would expect since things should be case sensitive.
Can you provide me with some sample XML and XPath that
doesn't work?
Thanks!

Contents of META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory?

I am currently working on an applet that solves Sudoku puzzles, allowing you to build your own in a Constructor and then solve them in a seperate Solver. To do this, we are implementing the puzzles files as XML documents.
I have the code completely complied and on the server ( [sudoku.unl.edu|sudoku.unl.edu]) and it runs NEARLY perfectly, however when trying to access the server to save the xml code, the apache error_log presents this message: "File does not exist: classes/META-INF/services
/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory"
Looking at the Java Doc here it says that the program should look for that in the jars. I am unsure of exactly how the applet is interacting with the server, but typing "java -version" yields:
java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode)Notably, the code works PERFECTLY in NetBeans, contacting the server using SCP and uploading the file and such, so the code doesn't seem to be the problem, unless I need to direct the DocumentBuilder code somehow. This is the code that I believe is causing the trouble (I have tried to include all relevant imports that are in my code):
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
DocumentBuilderFactory factoryBuilder;
          DocumentBuilder builder;
          Document doc;
          Element docElement;
          try
               factoryBuilder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance( );
               builder = factoryBuilder.newDocumentBuilder();
               doc = builder.parse( indexLocation );
               docElement = doc.getDocumentElement();
               NodeList children = docElement.getChildNodes();
               for(int i =0; i < children.getLength(); i++)
                    if(children.item(i).getNodeType() == 1)
                         if((children.item(i).getNodeName()).equals("directory"))
                              if ((children.item(i).getAttributes().getNamedItem("name").getNodeValue()).equals("UsersInput")) {
                                   Node firstChild = findNodeItem(children.item(i), "Difficulty0.." + this.upperField.getText());
                                   Node secondChild = findNodeItem(firstChild, "Level" + this.levelField.getText());
                                   Node thirdChild = findNodeItem(secondChild, (String)suTypeList.getSelectedItem());
                                   Element newFile = doc.createElement("file");
                                   newFile.setAttribute("name", fileName);
                                   thirdChild.appendChild(newFile);
               SshParameters params = new SshParameters("cse.unl.edu", "consystlab","A/tutti");
            // create new Scp instance
            Scp scp = new Scp(params);
            // register event listener
            scp.addListener(this);
            // establish connection
            scp.connect();
               TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
               Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer();
               DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
               StringWriter sw=new StringWriter();
               StreamResult result = new StreamResult(sw);
               transformer.transform(source, result);
               String xmlString=sw.toString();
            // upload file
              scp.upload(xmlString.getBytes(), indexPath, "libraryIndex.xml");
             // disconnect
            scp.disconnect();
          catch (IOException e)
               System.out.println("IO ERROR7");
               System.out.println(e);
          catch (TransformerException tranE){
               tranE.printStackTrace();
          catch (ParserConfigurationException e)
               System.out.println("IO ERROR8");
               System.out.println(e);
          catch (SAXException e)
               System.out.println("IO ERROR9");
               System.out.println(e);
          }So my question is, what exactly are the contents of the file in the META-INF/services folder? I have manually created this file in my classes directory, where the program is searching. When I place text in it, it appends the text with .class and searches for that file, but doesn't seem to do anything with the file. I attempted directing it to the "DocumentBuilderFactory.class" file that I extracted from the classes.jar included with the JDK.
I feel like all I need is this file to contain the correct content and the code will FINALLY work, but I have not been able to find anything out there on it.
Thank for you for your help, sorry this was such a long message.

Thanks!
Thanks for the fast reply. I don't know if I made my point clear.
I do not want to determine the parser by myself. I want the client system use the default parser, so I do not have the hit of downloading the fairly large parser jar.
However, I want it not to do an empty request to the server for nothing. This turn around time kills an Applet. I want a fast loading applet!
I'll go in trial and error mode, when I find the time next week.
Thanks again, I appreciate it!

Format of "META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory"

Hi there,
I have written an applet utilizing JAXP. Now the applet does hit the server with requests to
"META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory", which off course produces a 404-error.
What is the best way to get rid of this unnecessary request in an Applet?
- I can't set the property, because I do not know which xml-parser implementation is available at the client .
- I can't rely on lib/jaxp.properties, obviously!
- I could not find any conclusive information about the format of this request. It says in the Javadoc, a file at this location is used to determine the Factory? waht is the Format of this file? What should it contain?
- The applet works fine, as it defaults to the system factory anyway.
However, the request brings an extra delay in the applet, which I just do not need. I also do not want to download my preferred xml-parser, I want ot use, what ever is installed on the client.
Any idea what to do?
Thanks

Restart of OC4J required ? If orion-application.xml changes

Hello,
If i make a change in the orion-application.xml, basically i am interested in changing the JAZN LDAP configuration settings --- do i need to restart the OC4J ?
If yes, where is this mentioned in the documentation ?
Does the answer (yes / no) apply to all versions (10g minor versions) of OC4J.
Please confirm.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards
AB

Hi Deepak,
I fully agree with you that changes in the orion-application.xml require a restart.
Infact, when i do that practically, a message is displayed on the OEM console that the changes have been saved to the XML file but for the changes to take effect, i need to restart my container.
Agreed.
But where is it specifically mentioned in the official documentation ?
In the link you forwarded, there is not a single mention about orion-application.xml
Every statement over there talks about jazn.xml
I even checked the documentation for orion-application.xml, there too i could not locate that statements like you gave "any change to the jazn configuration (either in jazn.xml or otherwise) will need a restart."
