5.
Perform the following steps to create a folder structure in ORACLE_HOME:
a.
On UNIX operating systems, create a new folder for the custom application. For example, create customapp as follows:
mkdir -p ORACLE_HOMEcustomapp Create a Java folder in customapp and create a symbolic link for the folder as
follows: For example:
cd ORACLE_HOMEcustomapp ln -s ORACLE_HOMEformsjava ORACLE_HOMEcustomappjava
Copy the application files to the new folder. For example:
cp -rpf ORACLE_HOMEformsj2ee ORACLE_HOMEcustomapp
b.
On Windows operating systems, use the following commands to create a folder structure under ORACLE_HOME directory:
mkdir ORACLE_HOME\customapp\java mkdir ORACLE_HOME\customapp\j2ee
cd ORACLE_HOME\customapp xcopy S E ORACLE_HOME\forms\java ORACLE_
HOME\customapp\java xcopy S E ORACLE_HOME\forms\j2ee ORACLE_
HOME\customapp\j2ee
5.2.1.2 Override the Default Servlet Alias and the Context Root
1.
Extract the EAR file. For example, on UNIX operating systems:
cd ORACLE_HOMEcustomappj2ee jar xvf formsapp.ear
On Windows operating systems: cd ORACLE_HOME\customapp\j2ee
jar xvf formsapp.ear
2.
Extract the WAR file. For example, on UNIX operating systems:
mkdir -p ORACLE_HOMEcustomappj2eewarfile cd ORACLE_HOMEcustomappj2eewarfile
jar xvf ORACLE_HOMEcustomappj2eeformsweb.war On Windows operating systems:
mkdir ORACLE_HOME\customapp\j2ee\warfile
Using Oracle Forms Services with the HTTP Listener and Oracle WebLogic Server 5-5
cd ORACLE_HOME\customapp\j2ee\warfile jar xvf ORACLE_HOME\customapp\j2ee\formsweb.war
3.
Override the servlet alias in web.xml deployment descriptor that is located in the WEB-INF folder.
For example, on UNIX operating systems: cd ORACLE_HOMEcustomappj2eewarfileWEB-INF
On Windows operating systems: cd ORACLE_HOME\customapp\j2ee\warfile\WEB-INF
Edit web.xml in an editor and replace frmservlet with customservlet entries under tags Servlet-Name, url-pattern, welcome-file.
4.
Repackage the WAR file. For example, on UNIX operating systems:
cd ORACLE_HOMEcustomappj2eewarfile jar cvfM formsweb.war .
mv formsweb.war ORACLE_HOMEcustomappj2ee On Windows operating systems:
cd ORACLE_HOME\customapp\j2ee\warfile jar cvfM formsweb.war .\
copy formsweb.war ORACLE_HOME\customapp\j2ee\ del formsweb.war
5.
Override the application context root in application.xml deployment descriptor that is located in the META-INF folder.
For example, on UNIX operating systems: cd ORACLE_HOMEcustomappj2eeMETA-INF
On Windows operating systems: cd ORACLE_HOME\customapp\j2ee\META-INF
Edit application.xml, change context-root to customapp.
6.
Modify the codebase and serverURL entries in formsweb.cfg. For example, on UNIX operating systems:
cd ORACLE_HOMEcustomappj2eeconfig On Windows operating systems:
cd ORACLE_HOME\customapp\j2ee\config Edit formsweb.cfg and change the context-root entries in serverURL and
codebase parameters. For example,
Change serverURL=formslservlet to serverURL=customapplservlet.
Change codebase from formsjava to customappjava.
7.
Repackage the EAR file.
5-6 Forms Services Deployment Guide
For example, on UNIX operating systems: cd ORACLE_HOMEcustomappj2ee
jar cvfM customapp.ear META-INFMANIFEST.MF APP-INF config formsweb.war META-INF
On Windows operating systems: cd ORACLE_HOME\customapp\j2ee
jar cvfM customapp.ear META-INF\MANIFEST.MF APP-INF\ config\ formsweb.war META-INF\
8.
Clean the extracted EAR file contents. On UNIX operating systems: rm -rf META-INF APP-INF config META-INF formsweb.war
On Windows operating systems: RMDIR META-INF APP-INF config META-INF s q
DEL formsweb.war
