[opencms-dev] Weblogic & Oracle

[mfoley5 at csc.com.au]

Hi Murray,

Try this:

1. Expand/unjar the opencms.war file into the applications directory of
your WebLogic domain.
2. Modify the classpath in startWebLogic.sh similar to the attached copy
from my domain, ensuring the relative positions of the jar files.
3. Configure OpenCms as a web application in the WebLogic console - e.g.
named "ocmsAppName"
4. Start the OpenCms setup wizard by pointing your browser to
http://server:port/ocmsAppName/ocsetup
5. Specify the "genericsql" database driver and a username/password for the
tables which will be created, as well as the connection string for the
database.
6. Follow the wizard through the steps - accept the default settings as you
go, say "yes" to importing the workplace (this takes a while, perhaps 10
minutes).
7. When the wizard is finished, you can start the OpenCms workplace by
going to
http://server:port/ocmsAppName/opencms/system/workplace/action/login.html
and logging in as Admin with password admin (case is important).

You may also want to consider this other posting from me (this resulted in
a fix in OpenCms 5.0beta):

"Having beaten my head against non-OpenCms issues with WebLogic and the
Oracle Oci driver for too long I have re-visited the GenericSql option
using the 'thin' driver, and think I have a solution.

It appears the "date/time" issue reported earlier is related to the size of
the byte array passed to the *.setBytes() calls in
com.opencms.file.genericSql.CmsDbAccess.  I gather that the Oracle driver
has a limit of 2000 bytes here and this produces the (misleading) error.

I have replaced setBytes with setBinaryStream and have written a new class
which simply turns the byte array into an Object extending
java.io.InputStream."

Regards,
Mark

Could someone please repost the instructions for installing OpenCMS with
BEA
Weblogic 6.1 and Oracle.

How come these don't appear anywhere on the OpenCMS site or in the install
guide?

TIA,
M. Bodor
