Notice the
apex.war
file that is the APEX Listener. We can start the APEX Listener by executing the
following command:
[oracle@ae1 listener]$ java -jar apex.war
When you run this you should see a large amount of output, and you will be prompted to specify
where the APEX static files are located so the APEX Listener knows where to reference them:
[oracle@ae1 listener]$ java -jar apex.war
INFO: Starting: /Users/jes/listener/apex.war
See: 'java -jar apex.war --help' for full range of configuration options
INFO: Extracting to: /var/folders/mN/mNPteN52HoqHK2miZ4o6IU+++TU/-Tmp-/apex
Enter the path to the directory containing the APEX static resources

I have highlighted in bold the sections where you are prompted for information. Other than defining
the path and passwords, there is very little configuration to do at this stage. You should then find that the
APEX Listener fires up your browser automatically and navigates you to the URL to configure it. If this
doesn't happen automatically, then notice at the end of the output it tells you the URL you can use to
configure the Listener.
In your browser you should see a screen much like Figure 1-24.
