We are runnning Oracle’s 9ias 9.0.2. We are looking to integrate myeclipse with this appserver as much as possible to facilitate deployments. Based on experience what is the best way to achieve this? Also how should we go about generating the necessary Orion specific DDs? Are there any docs out there that anyone is aware of that describe this better Orion/Oracle? We basically want to achieve the same results as using Jdeveloper but without using Jdeveloper 🙂

Thanks

I’ll kick this off. A good bit of Oracle configuration info can be found in these threads:

Oracle 9ias unfortunately does not support exploded deployment, so only packaged deployment can be used. To generate the deployment descriptors, you can use XDoclet with the standard EJBDoclet and then add the oc4j task to it by right-clicking on ejbdoclet and selecting Add. Be sure to configure it properly as shown in the EJB creation tutorial in the help. The XDoclet reference manual is also in there to help you get going.

Other users of Oracle care to comment on tips/tricks?

This may be true for projects involving ejbs; however, simple web projects can be deployed to Oracle 9iAS in an exploded format.

You just need to manually configure server.xml and http-web-site.xml to point to the exploded application, the application can live <i>anywhere</i> on your file system.

Whether My Eclipse supports this is another question. Of course you could probably automate the process with an ant task and add it as a builder to the project.
