Using Forte 3.0 to deploy web app to iPlanet Web Server

Is anyone familiar with using Forte 3.0 to develop/deploy a web application to an iPlanet Server?
All I need is a simple walkthrough to create/deploy a "Hello World" app (it could be just a JSP) or a link to some document that covers this topic.
Thanks

For anyone who cares
First make a web module, then make a web application and add the web module you made. When adding it the Mapping field should contain whatever context of the module is. Then deploy the application.

Deploying war file on iplanet application server 6.5

Hi ,
We are trying to deploy WebObjects application on Iplanet Application server server 6.5.
Steps we tried for deployment :
1) War file generated by WebObjects.
2) Started IPlanet Application server.
3) Opened the War file in the deployment tool.
4) Verified that the WAR file to be deployed using the verify option in the deployment tool(Verified successfully)
5) We tried to save the archive, then it throws an error saying "
"Invalid entry compressed size (expected 52 bytes but got 51 bytes)".
We ignored this message and proceeded further by clicking on OK.
6) Deployed the WAR file using the deploy option
7) In the deploy message box, it diplays that the application was deployed successfully.
Then we tried to access the application by trying the following url : " http://localhost/NASApp/<CONTEXT NAME>/WebObjects/<APPLICATION NAME>"
(eg : http://localhost/NASApp/SampleApplication/WebObjects/SampleApplication.woa>)
We are getting the error saying that " GXError". We are not sure whether the the above mentioned url is the correct way to access the application !
What we think the problem in deployment is
i) because of error while saving the WAR file (Invalid entry compressed size (expected 52 bytes but got 51 bytes)
ii) URL not appropriate
Other observations :
We tried to deploy to deploy sample application on Iplanet Application server. All these sample applications are deployed properly without the above mentioned error message. All these application are accessed by typing following url : " http:localhost/NASApp/<CONTEXT NAME>/<APPLICATION NAME>". IN all the sample application, url contains "NASApp" . We are not sure what this stand for and maps to. What we assumed is that it maps to the the iplanet app document root i.e "installedroot/ias6/ias/App"
The exception throw while saving the WAR file is " com.iplanet.ias.tools.buzz.util.ArchiveHandlerException"
Has any body who has tried this can help us?
Thanks,
Raju and Venkatesh

Hi,
First of all the application you are trying is from a WebObjects application server. I don't know how they package the modules and what is the format/file structure. I just went to their site, though they say that the WebObjects applications can be deploy on any J2EE Application server but still how they package and how they write the xml descriptors is not known.
Looking at your exception it seem that first it is something to do the war/jar archive file compression thing (as the deployment tool is not able to read the complete file) then comes the deployment descriptors.
I tried to get a few sample application from their site but I couldn't fine any, it will be great help if you can provide a WebObjects sample app to me (mail it to [email protected]).
Regarding the NASApp string in URL, it has nothing to do with document root of iAS and also installedroot/ias6/ias/APPS dir is not the document root of iPlanet app server, this is the place where it save/explodes all the archives (ear).
See iPlanet App server don't have any HTTP daemon to listen to the HTTP requests, so it needs a web server with a plugin (web connector) to forward the HTTP requests meant for iAS, and this NASApp string in the URL is the key to that.
All the URLs are first send to the iAS plugin (as configured in web server's obj.conf file) and plugin look for this NASApp string (configurable), if it is there in the URL then it converts the HTTP request and send it to iAS over a proprietary protocol (KCP), otherwise it gives the request as it is to web server to process it.
The NASApp string is a iAS registry parameter which you can change any time. And generally the context root part of the URL is the war file name (by default). So the typical URL for any web application (MyWeb.war) will be:
http://<host>:<port>/NASApp/MyWeb/<Servlet_name>.
I don't know why that extension "*.woa" is there. So if you send me a sample war file, I will be able to try it out.
Please feel free to ask further questions.

Deploying Jee5 App in Netweaver Application Server

Hi Everybody
How to deploy jee5 application on Netweaver Application Server without using Netweaver Developer Studio NWDS.
Thank You
Syed Saifuddin

Hi Prashil,
That blog is about deployment on Web AS 6.40. Here we are discussing the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/javaee5">AS Java EE 5 Edition</a>.
The document provided by Ivaylo is the right place to go when dealing with this topic.
@Syed,
Additionally, you can change the AS Java configuration in your NWDS preferences to point to the "server machine". Or, you can make use of the deployment scripts in the folder C:SAPJP1JC00j2eedeploymentscripts. See the readme.txt.
HTH!
Best regards,

How to use the Enterprise portal as a web server

Hi there,
For portal content I would like to create an URL-iview for a picture (.jpg file) where i want to put the picture on the SAP portal itself. So in this case the portal also acts as the web server.
If this is possible.
Where do i put the picture (in which directory)?
What is the url to be used for the iview?
thanks in advance
Bertil

You can create a jsp page. The portal will display it for you if you want.
d:\usr\sap\<SYSID>\j2ee\j2ee_00\cluster\server\services\SERVLE~1\work\jspTemp\irj\root
Underneath this folder I placed a jsp folder. I could have called it anything. You can place pages here. You can take a standard html page and throw the following two lines at the top.
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java" import="java.sql.*" errorPage="" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
And it automagically becomes a jsp page. Granted if you really want to do fancy stuff with java server pages you will have to delve into some java and javascript.
I created an images directory and placed my pictures in that folder.
Then I created an iview pointing to a web page.
http://<yourserver>:50000/irj/jsp/mywebpage.jsp
You can even try the page out in a browser before creating an iview. If you are concerned about security you will have to place in within the PCD and do ACL to lock it down.
Good luck. I am sure there are other ways but this is how I did it.

Using Weblogic as a front end web server

Hi all, recently there has been a push for us to investigate moving our Iplanet
web servers to Weblogic. So our architecture would be WLS web instances on the
front and passing back to WLS app servers on the back end. We would need to run
SSL and none SSL and handle certificates and multiple applications on each web
server as well as serve up static content. Has anybody had any experience with
going to this set up, and if so would you recomend it ? It looks way harder then
setting up a Apache or Iplanet web server.

You should check out 8.1, SSL configuration is simpler there.
I would say in general that the main weakness of WLS as a web server
is on
the administration side of things.

Oracle error ORA-00600 when using Oracle 10g and Sun One Web Server 6.1

I have a java application that was running under Solaris 8 and Oracle 9i. I am trying to get it up and running on a new server that is configured with Solaris 9 and Oracle 10g. Whenever the application tries to connect to the database it receives the following error: ORA-00600 [ttcgcshnd-1][0]. My research indicates that this is an internal Oracle error that represents a low level unexpected condition. I have looked through my configuration for the Web Server and I have not been able to determine the cause of this problem. My DBA tells me that we have the latest patch installed for Oracle! Has anyone encountered this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If the problem is also present in a SWING app, i.e. outside the web server, then it is porbably something external to the webserver.
I think you should ensure that the driver and database are compatible with each other. It is very likely that you need a new jdbc driver for the new database.

Using external LDAP to create a web server

Hello everyone, I am working on a project for the university I work for. We have an iPlanet LDAP server that contains the identities of everyone (faculty, staff, students). I have set up an experimental OS X server that we'd like to play with; in particular, we'd like to use it as a web server for faculty, etc. I am trying to collect as much information as possible on this topic. I'm learning a lot about Open Directory on the web.
I would like to know if it's possible to use the OS X server to query the iPlanet LDAP directory to authenticate users' identities and give them web space automatically on the OS X server? Or will we have to perform extracts of data from LDAP and manually synch with the OS X server?
(We also have an AD environment, but we'll skip that for now because the students aren't in AD... yet.)
Thanks for any insight.
MacBook 2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You should be able to use /Applications/Utilities/Directory Access to bind the server to the iPlanet directory. Once that's done the standard web installation should automatically handle personal home pages for any user in the directory.
The web server doesn't talk directly to the LDAP server, it uses the standard system directory services so it doesn't matter what directory server you use.

Help on using servlets to write files to web server

Hi,
I am chetan from India, I have developed the WebSite www.bhavishya.net. I am encountering a serious problem in writing into a text file. I am unable to configure the path of the text file. While on Linux i got it (path - "/home/bhavishya/ErrorLog.txt"). But now i am using Windows Environment. The code is as follows.
public String ewrite(String str)
String err = "File updated";
try
Date d = new Date();
BufferedWriter bwout = null;
// for Web Server
try
//BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("/home/bhavishya/ErrorLog.txt", true)); // For Linux
bwout = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("./bhavishya/logs/ErrorLog.txt", true));
bwout.write(d.toLocaleString()+" : "+str+"\n");
catch (RuntimeException e1) {err = e1.toString(); e1.printStackTrace();}
System.out.println("ErrorLog - 21");
bwout.close();
catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(e); }
return err;
The file is neither created or written into even if i am creating it.
Regards,

Does the path to the file exist? Otherwise you should try adding a File.mkdirs() call in there to create the directory where you want to write the logfile to. Otherwise writing the file will fail.

Accelerate Development of SOA/Creating & Deploying Web Serv from an EJB

To whom it may concern,
I attended the Oracle Developer Day in Tempe, AZ on Feb. 15, 2005; trying to complete the labs. I have run into an error of {Error while getting MBeanServer EJB}, so I get no OracleAS Connection. I do not know if the application server port is correct or if I completed something else wrong.

Hi,
This error could come in various cases:
a- the OC4J instance is not up
b- the username/password is not correct
c- the port you use is not correct
My gues will be that it is "c" since we discovered a typo in the Labs instruction, the port to use is 23793 (and not 23973).
Sorry fot that.

Using an Ethernet Disk as a web server

I purchased a 500GB Lacie Ethernet Disk, of course it has it's built in file system on it, but I am interested in just wiping it and installing Apache or something on it.

Well, you probably already have apache, so why not modify the
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf file and change the DocumentRoot and
Directory to the filesystem on your lacie?

Using Sun Web Server 6.1 from the IDE

Using JSE 8 with Sun Web Server 6.1 set as the target container, I have a SUNWS61deployment.xml file created.
That didn't exist in JSE 7. Is it WS 6.1 SP4 or SP5 -related ?
I also have ws61-sun-web.xml with a simple <sun-web-app/> tag (empty deployment descriptor).
What should this file contain? Is it a replacement for sun-web.xml?
Do I still need sun-web.xml? Its DTD declaration sounds like Sun
App Server 7 (http://www.sun.com/software/sunone/appserver/dtds/sun-web-app_2_3-1.dtd)
So you have plans to make "Sun Resources" (pools, JNDI resources, ...) created in the IDE be registerable directly in the Web Server just like it's possible with the sun app server?
How safe is it to use JSE 8 with an older Web Server Service Pack (say 6.1SP1)?

SUNWS61deployment.xml is created bythe IDE to be used internally and not to be used by the developer. This file wouldn't be sent to webserver after deployment.
The ws61-sun-web.xml is sun-web.xml only and yes it is same as it is in Appserver7 as the webcontainer for both Webserver6.1 and Appserver7 are same. After deployment to webserver, ws61-sun-web.xml is renamed to Webserver as sun-web.xml by the IDE. When opened the developer can edit in the XML editor.
The reason for having it as ws61-sun-web.xml in IDE is to avoid the clash between sun-web.xml of Appserver8.1 which is J2EE1.4 based whereas Webserver6.1 Web container is J2EE1.3 based.
It should be okay to use any service pack of Webserver6.1 with JSE8
Hope this helps

Portal Application deployment problem to Managed Web Server

I'm trying to deploy an ADF application using JSR168 portlets to a Managed Web Server on WebCenter 11g and I'm getting the following error in the log file after running the portal.jsp (I get 'Portlet unavailable' on the browser page):
oracle.adf.model.portlet.binding.PortletBindingException: The metadata for portlet binding TasksPortlet1_1 was not found in MDS.
When I deploy the application from JDeveloper to the Managed Web Server I get the following error (The application does deploy successfully):
Error during portlet export. Portlets will not be available in the target application. Context: input mds repository file path = C:\JDeveloper\mywork\Mindflow\mds. output mds repository file path = C:\JDeveloper\mywork\Mindflow\.mdsExport. input connections file path and name = /C:/JDeveloper/mywork/Mindflow/.adf/META-INF/connections.xml. export ID = /oracle/adf/portlet/export. producer/portlet IDs to export: [oracle/adf/portlet/MindFlowWsrpPortletProducer].
However if I right-click on the portal.jsp page and select Run from JDeveloper and run it within the Integrated WLS it does run fine there.
Is there something special that needs to be set for the Deployment on either the application or project? Or is there something that needs to be setup via the web-based Adminstrative Console (I have verified that the MindFlowWsrpPortletProducer is registered on the Admin console)?
Thanks,
Randy Skold

Thanks for the reply ... here is the answer to your questions along with an update to some more information after trying something different
Did you deploy the WebCenter Managed server from Jdeveloper
I am deploying the application to the WebCenter Managed server from JDeveloper.
What managed server did you deploy it to - a custom server that you created?
Yes this is a custom Managed Server (called MindFlow). At the time of your response the only two servers up and running on WebCenter was the AdminServer and MindFlow.
Did the deployment go through?
Yes
Are there any errors in the managed server log when you access the page?
Yes these where the errors showing that it could not connect with the metadata via the repositories.
Now for the update:
I went ahead and started up the WLS_Portlet managed server that comes with WebCenter. When I did this I got the following error:
WSM-04509: cannot initialize the connection to the data store
I then deployed the Portlet Producer Application to the WLS_Portlet from JDeveloper. I then grabbed the url for the newly created portlet producer and updated the connection on the Portal application. After doing this and updating the portal.jspx file, I then deployed the Portal application to the MindFlow managed web server. I then brought up the portal.jspx page via a browser and was able to bring back results. The only issue now is that while doing this I got multiple MDS errors (including the initialize error above) and not sure if I can ignore these or not. One of the errors received was as follows:
oracle.mds.exception.MDSException: MDS-01258: The value @MDS_CLASS for property class-name is invalid.

Top like utility for Sun Web Server using dtrace. (similar to apachetop)

I have written a "top" like utility (wstop.pl) using dtrace for Sun Java
System Web Server 7.0. Interested users can download it from my blog :
[Web Server and dtrace|http://blogs.sun.com/basant/entry/sun_web_server_and_dtrace]
This utility only works on Solaris 10 and later releases. Compiled plugin
binary and utility can be downloaded from my blog page.
I have not tested it with 6.1 but I believe it should work for 6.1 too.

SUNWS61deployment.xml is created bythe IDE to be used internally and not to be used by the developer. This file wouldn't be sent to webserver after deployment.
The ws61-sun-web.xml is sun-web.xml only and yes it is same as it is in Appserver7 as the webcontainer for both Webserver6.1 and Appserver7 are same. After deployment to webserver, ws61-sun-web.xml is renamed to Webserver as sun-web.xml by the IDE. When opened the developer can edit in the XML editor.
The reason for having it as ws61-sun-web.xml in IDE is to avoid the clash between sun-web.xml of Appserver8.1 which is J2EE1.4 based whereas Webserver6.1 Web container is J2EE1.3 based.
It should be okay to use any service pack of Webserver6.1 with JSE8
Hope this helps

Using WLS as a web server

Hi,
we are currently using Netscape Enterprise Server 3.6 as our web
server and WLS 5.1 as web container, both running on AIX 4.3.3.
We want to get rid of the NES (it is buggy and unsupported) but we are
unsure if need to replace it with another web server (e.g. Apache or
iPlanet), or just use WLS 6.1 as both web server and web container.
So the question is: do you have any experience regarding the
performance of the WLS 6.1 web server compared to a standard web
server?
TIA
/\/\orten Hindsholm

The main reason that 5.1 is 25% slower than NES or Apache on serving static html
is that NES/Apache do a lot of native I/O and caching ( their code base is C/C++).
6.1 fixed that problem, BEA use native I/O to retrieve static html and img files,
and caching them in memory. Benchmark data shows that they are in par with NES/Apache's
performance. It's pretty safe for you to use 6.1 to host your static contents
and use it as web container at the same time.
My 2 cents.
