Install Complete

Start the oc4j container.

wsrp can work with an file based preference store or with an database as preference store. In this example we will user the file based option which is default.

Before we can deploy the wsrp-samples.ear we have to change the file $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/oc4j_wsrp/config/server.xml import a jar. Under <shared-library name="oracle.wsrp" version="1.0"> add <import-shared-library name="oracle.ws.jaxrpc"/>.

Now unzip the downloaded pdk pdksoftware.zip.

Search for the wsrp-samples.ear (directory: pdk/portlet-container)

Deploy the ear file from the command line:

java -jar admin_client.jar deployer:oc4j:[HOSTNAME]:[OPMN_REQUEST_PORT] oc4jadmin [PASSWORD] -deploy -file wsrp-samples.ear -deploymentName sampleapp -bindAllWebApps  

If everything is ok there should be a servlet:
http://[HOSTNAME]:[PORT]/portletapp/info

Now the provider can be registerd in portal with the WSDL:
http://[HOSTNAME]:[PORT]/portletapp/portlets?WSDL

If you want to make your application wsrp ready the following should be done to "infect" your ear file with the Oracle stuff:

java -jar wsrp-predeploy.jar
