Here is the step-by-step on how I got uPortal running. I have not done any testing with this configuration yet. Feel free to update this page with any tips or corrections. Also, these instructions may apply to other J2EE containers, such as Orion or JBoss, but they haven't been tested.
Hopefully some or all of the attached files will be rolled into CVS, at which time they should be removed from this page and the instructions updated.
Build uPortal EAR file for deployment
- Check out uPortal 2.5.0 RC3
- Copy JAXP 1.3, Xalan 2.6.0 and Xerces 2.6.2 JARs to lib/endorsed of 1.4.2 JRE. The files are dom.jar, sax.jar, jaxp-api.jar, xml-apis.jar, xerces-2.6.2.jar, xalan-2.6.0.jar
- Use modified source files JNDIManager.java and GuestUserInstance.java (Which ignore null session IDs)
- Add data-sources.xml and application.xml to properties/oc4j
- Add log4j.xml and log4j.dtd to properties directory
- Use modified build.properties with OAS information
- Update rdbm.properties and data-sources.xml with database information
- Use attached Ant buildfile build.xml
- Ran Ant task: db
- Ran Ant task: i18n-db
- Ran Ant task: pubchanall
- Ran Ant task: pubfragmentsall
- Ran Ant task: OC4J-EAR
Deploy uPortal
- Install Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.0
- Copy JAXP 1.3, Xalan 2.6.0 and Xerces 2.6.2 JARs to lib/endorsed of OC4J JRE (/OC4J-10.1.2/jdk/jre/lib/endorsed), you'll need to create the directory.
- Copy JAXP 1.3, Xalan 2.6.0 and Xerces 2.6.2 JARs to applib of OC4J (/OC4J-10.1.2/j2ee/home/applib).
- Bounce Oracle Application Server (May need to restart because JVM was modified)
- Deploy oc4j-uportal.ear (May need to specify JNDI location, will be same as datasource name)
