Running Seam examples with Oracle OC4J

1. Download and install OC4J 11g TP
2. Go to the jboss-seam/examples/jee5/booking directory
3. Edit the resources/META-INF/persistence.xml file and comment out the Glassfish properties and un-comment the OC4J properties.
4. Edit the build.xml file and un-comment the labeled OC4J-related library properties.
5. In the jboss-seam/examples/jee5/booking directory, type ant to build the example.
6. Run this command cp ../../seam-gen/lib/hsqldb.jar $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/applib/ to get the hsql drivers into OC4J - it assumes $ORACLE_HOME is set to your OC4J installation directory.
7. Copy the application cp dist/jboss-seam-jee5.ear $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/applications/ so OC4J can find it.
8. Adjust the configuration files:

• Edit $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/data-sources.xml file and inside the <data-source> add:

<managed-data-source
   connection-pool-name="jee5-connection-pool"
   jndi-name="jdbc/__default"
   name="jee5-managed-data-source" />
<connection-pool name="jee5-connection-pool">
   <connection-factory
      factory-class="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver" 
      user="sa"
      password="" 
      url="jdbc:hsqldb:." />
</connection-pool>

• Edit $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/server.xml and inside <application-server> add

<application name="jboss-seam-jee5"
 path="../../home/applications/jboss-seam-jee5.ear"
 parent="default" 
 start="true" />

• Edit $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/default-web-site.xml, and inside <web-site> , add

<web-app application="jboss-seam-jee5"
 name="jboss-seam-jee5" 
 load-on-startup="true"
 root="/seam-jee5" />

Start the OC4J server and point your browser to http://localhost:8888/seam-jee5 and register an account and book some hotels.
