How to conigure Apache FOP
Oracle Containers for J2EE (10.1.3.2 or above) needs to be conigured for using
Application Express.
Oracle Containers for Java
will be abbreviated to
OC4J
in
the rest of this chapter. OC4J is delivered in a ZIP ile and can be downloaded at
Oracle Technology Network:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/
utilsoft-090603.html
Creating a batch ile or shell script is the most handy way to start OC4J. For example:
set ORACLE_HOME=d:\oc4j (Location from OC4j Installation)
set JAVA_HOME=D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_version_of_JDK
(Location of JDK)
oc4j -start
OC4J is dependent on the
Java Runtime Environment
(
JRE
)—this is oficially
supported against JRE version 1.5 and higher, but it is strongly recommended to
run against JRE version 1.6.0_33 or higher, or version 1.7. To verify which version
of JRE is installed run the following command:
java -version
The output of this command will look as follows:
java version "1.6.0_33"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_33-rev-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
When starting OC4J for the irst time, you will be prompted for the
password—
oc4jadmin
. The entered password is used as password for the
oc4jadmin website. The next step is the deployment of the
fop.war
(web archive)
ile. Deployment can be performed in the Enterprise Manager from OC4J.
Steps for the deployment from the
fop.war
ile are as follows:
1.
Click on the
Applications
tab in the Enterprise Manager.
2.
Click on the
Deploy
button.
3.

Archive is present on local host. Upload the archive to the server
where application server control is running.
. Browse to the
fop.war
ile
(in the
utilities/fop
directory) and click on
Next
.
4.
Make
application name
equal to
FOP
, clear the content in
Context Root
, and
click on the
Next
