Win JDeveloper war file to oc4j instance on solaris??

Question

Hi,
I have been trying to get a war file that I deployed on JDeveloper (windows release candidate) set up on my solaris oc4j( version 2 dev release). I read on this forum these directions:
"Right click on the myproject.jpr in the JDev navigator and select 'new...', go to Deployment Profiles and select J2EE Web Module (WAR File) - a general screen will pop up asking you to save the deployment profile (you can just use the default if you want). Once you select OK on that, you will get a screen that calls itself the J2EE Web Module Deployment Profile Settings. This is the screen that you can use to enter your information.
Your servlet and javabean classes will go into WEB-INF/classes subdirectory that you see to your left in this window. Simply select the WEB-INF/classes entry and it will display a list of your java sources (it will only place the compiled output in this directory - there is a toggle for it).
Once you have specified that your javabean and servlet classes go in this directory, you should be set. Go ahead and save / close. In your navigation screen under your project (myproject.jpr or whatever your project name is) you will see your files, jsps, etc and something called webapp1.deploy (if you accepted the default). If you right-click on that, you will get a menu that asks a number of things, one of which is to Deploy to EAR file. Select that entry and it will create an ear file for you. You can play with the various settings to change the name of the ear file, but that's about all you have to do. Once this is completed, you can put the EAR file on your linux box or wherever you want, adjust your server.xml and default-web-app.xml files and launch the app!
EXCEPT...I did not deploy to EAR ; I deployed to war and then I just modified two config files (under j2ee/home/config)
application.xml
<web-module id="notesWar" path="../../home/applications/notesWar.war" />
and default-web-app.xml
<web-module id="notesWar" path="../../home/applications/notesWar.war" />
This seems to work , but when I set up my project in JDeveloper, I specified a target file to run, and within JDeveloper it includes the directory not just the file (which is a windows directory) so I am thinking that when I try to deploy on unix, it doesn't know what target file to run bc it can't find it, but I don't know that that information is even included in the war file... is there somewhere else you specify when you are deploying the war file which html, jsp, etc. needs to be run first. By the way, when I launch the application on the solaris oc4j via war deployment, it goes to the first html file listed in the war (I need it to go the second html file first).

Answer 1

Hi,
I am sorry; I mistyped....
I already configured default-web-site.xml with the above values.
The war file will run on the solaris oc4j instance, but it just
runs the wrong initial html. I need a login to be the target
page, but I don't know how to specify that for my particular
situation.
If I run the application within JDeveloper on Windows
without a war file, it works. I run like this...
Right click on the (.jpr) project file and run...it will go to the
correct run target bc I have specified within the project
settings, the default run target, but when i try to run as a war,
it does not go to the correct run target so I need to know how to
specify a default run target for a war file. I did create the
war after I specified the default run target.
Thank you!
