 Overall Considerations for Deployment

Packaging and distributing involves:

Class files
Libraries
HTML files
How you set up the deployment environment
depends on the server.

 Deploying to a Web Server

Copy the files with the extensions .jsp, .html,

.gif, to the document root directory of the Web
server.
Archive class files in an archive (.JAR, .WAR) file.
Set the class path of the Web server to point to the
archive files.

 Deploying to OC4J

OC4J is a J2EE-compliant Web server, included with

OracleAS 10g. To deploy to OC4J, perform the
following:
1. Install OC4J.
2. Start the remote OC4J server by issuing the
following from a command prompt:
<oc4j directory> java jar oc4j.jar
3. Create an OC4J Connection in JDeveloper.
4. Deploy the project by right-clicking
webapp1.deploy and selecting Deploy.

 Install OC4J

1. Open a command window.

2. Navigate to <ias_Home>/j2ee/home.
3. Run the following command:

% java -jar oc4j.jar -install

This command unpacks and installs OC4J.

4. Enter a password for the OC4J administrator
account.

 Start the OC4J Server

To start the OC4J server, use the following from the

OC4J home directory, usually
<iAS_Home>/j2ee/home

% java -jar oc4j.jar

The server can be stopped by using the following

command:

% java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost/

<admin> <password> -shutdown

 Running Applications

To run the deployed application, call the following

URL:
http://hostname:8888/<workspacename>-<projectname>-
context-root/main.jsp

The context root can be customized in the deployment

profile.
