AW: [opencms-dev] weblogic and opencms

[mfoley5 at csc.com.au]

Hi Dan,

I am working on this, and have had some success - although there are still
some problems.  Here is what I've done so far:

Using Oracle 8.1.7 with Tomcat is not a problem, as long as I use
"genericsql" and the thin Oracle driver rather than "oracleOci".
The opencms.war file does not deploy correctly to WLS6.1 - I get a weblogic
message "J2EE deploy error".
So I expanded the opencms.war file into a new weblogic domain application
directory and specified it in the weblogic administration console.
I can invoke the setup URL which loads the /opencms/ocsetup/index.ocjsp
page, but this reports that the wizard is not available (even though the
opencms.properties file specifies wizard.enabled = true) .
I then manually edited the opencms.properties file to specify
resourcebroker = genericsql and changed the corresponding database
parameters further down the file (usernames, passwords, database names),
specifying a database which I have already been using with OpenCms/Tomcat.
Because of the setup wizard not working, I peformed the setup using
Tomcat/OpenCMS, then transferred the database settings to the WLS6.1
installation.
I edited the registry.xml file in the WEB-INF/config directory, changinging
"<tempfileproject></tempfileproject>" to
"<tempfileproject>3</tempfileproject>" (this allows me to edit pages within
the OpenCMS workspace).
I changed the WebLogic startup script to put the xerces-1_4_4.jar file
included with OpenCms first in the classpath, before the weblogic jar
files, and copied the "/opencms\WEB-INF\ocsetup\vfs\pics" directory to
"/opencms\pics", started Weblogic, then pointed my browser to "
http://localhost:7001/opencms/opencms/system/workplace/action/login.html"

At this point I see a pop-up message "The version of workplace-templates
and workplace-classes are different. Please update one." - clicking "OK"
brings up the OpenCms login screen.   Logging in as Admin works, although I
get that message again (the user guide section 14.2.8 describes this
phenomenon).  From here on everything appears to be working.

I have been too busy with other project aspects to get back to these
deployment problems, but they will have to be fixed within a week or
thereabouts.  If anybody else has WLS6.1/OpenCMS working properly together,
I'D REALLY LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

Regards,

Mark Foley

Hi,

Along these lines, I was wondering if anyone experienced any problems
running OpenCMS on Weblogic 6.1?

Thanks,
Dan
