[opencms-dev] OpenCms 5 on WebLogic 8.1 and Oracle 9i

[Indy Very]

Thanks for the help, Martin.  I ended up coming back
to this work after not having success a few months ago
when I posed the question.

Most recently, I was able to get OpenCms 5.01 working
with WLS 8.1 SP3 (I'm sure the patch you mention below
works too).

Now, I have a different problem - and I'm not sure if
it existed before or not.  Here is what happens:

When I use MySQL as the database, all is well, but if
I used Oracle 9i, most OpenCms admin UI functionality
seems to work (the admin functionality, explorer view,
etc.), but if I attempt to import a module I had
exported from the MySQL database into the new Oracle
9i database, it imports, but I cannot
open/preview/render pages.

I noticed that someone mentioned an Oracle build
script problem
(http://mail.opencms.org/pipermail/opencms-dev/2004q3/012210.html)
with OpenCms 5.3, but I wondered if there were similar
problems with the Oracle scripts with OpenCms 5.01.

Did you have to modify the Oracle scripts at all?  If
it's working for you on Oracle and WLS, which version
of OpenCms are you using?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I was able to get OpenCms (with MySQL) working
with a node-managed WLS cluster as well, but when I
tested things out, it didn't work as desired.  For
instance, if I logged into multiple browsers and to
the different managed WLS instances, and then locked
and edited an item, in the other browsers/instances,
even after a browser refresh, the locked and edited
state was not reflected.  So, I've abandoned using a
WLS cluster with OpenCms for now.
