Where can I find a sophisticated sample app (from open source or oracle)?

Question

I am looking for open-source or Oracle's sample applications that uses most if not all of the features in Oracle Appserver 10.1.3. Most of existing sample applications I found under the 'sample applications' link are for older version of Oracle AS, and not compatible with 10.1.3. Other requires JDeveloper, which I don't plan on using.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Henry

Henry, thanks for the feedback ... I have asked the product manager responsible for the JCA demo to take a look and update the sample. The best way to file the bug without having access to the db is tell us here. We try our best - though sometimes can't keep up - to monitor the forums, particluarly when we have a new release where lots of issues may need follow up like 10.1.3.
On the how tos that require editing the XML, normally that is because we don't have access to do the configuration in the application server control or the command line tooling. In general I recommend you use ASC console or the command line tooling - admin.client.jar or our ant tasks - for configuration as you are right that it is the most consistent and accurate way to configure the environment. This doc book gives a sense of what that tooling works for:

including ant tasks:

However, unlike the previous release of OAS where editing the XML files often had unexpected consequences on other instances in the cluster because of a central managed repository concept that the older release had, in 10.1.3 that concept is no longer there so editing the XML files generally works fine both in stand-alone and managed. Again, in general we recommend using the tooling but my guess is if you have found a how to that requires editing the XML files, I suspect the tooling doesn't support it yet.
Out of curiousity, I would be also interested in which one you found that had that - was it the JCA one again?
