Automatic deployment .ear file to Oracle Application Server 10.1.3 (OAS) with Ant tasks
0In this post I would like to share an example how to deploy an .ear file with an Ant script to the Oracle Application Server 10.1.3 (OAS). Automatic deployment can help improve the release process. First of all because manual deployment usually costs time of the developers. Especially the lead time will be long if the uploading of the .ear file to the server takes a long time. And mistakes made with manual deployment can cause quite some fixing time.
The Oracle documentation describes the use of Ant tasks for automatic deployment to the OAS. For more information on Ant tasks you can find an URL at the end of this post to the online Oracle documentation for the OAS, version 10.1.3. Versions 10.1.2 and earlier of the OAS have a different method for automatic deployment of the .ear to the server. This happens through a ‘Oc4jDcmServletAPI’ and will not be discussed here.
Below you will find an example script regarding the use of Ant tasks:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”windows-1252″ ?> <project name=”XXX” default=”redeploy” basedir=”.” xmlns:oracle=”antlib:oracle”> <property name=”ear.dir” value=”${basedir}”/>
<target name=”stop-app”> <echo message=”Stopping the application”/> More >
Using AutoLayout in iOS
0Like many iOS developers I did my sharing of trying out AutoLayout after it was introduced last year. And like many of these developers I ran into a fair share of trouble. It was not until Cessare Rochi clarified things in his session ‘AutoLayout, oh boy’ at mdevcon that I finally started finding my way around AutoLayout a bit.
First of, the consensus seems to be: do not use Interface Builder! IB gives you all kinds of challenges surrounding AutoLayout. Everyone has their own reasons for this but in short, when you use AutoLayout in code/manually, you are actually in control. So then how do we do this?
Understanding Storage, Masterclass by James Morle
0Today was the first day of the two day Masterclass “Understanding Storage” by James Morle at AMIS.
After having reserved my participation in this Masterclass on March 12th, the first day has finally arrived. My colleague Marco Gralike already blogged about the contents of this Masterclass therefore I will not repeat it here. James is well known in the Oracle community, not in the least for his book: Scaling Oracle 8i. That book was recommended to me today by another participant and is available here. I must confess I’ve probably downloaded it years before but have never gotten around to reading it properly. (more…)
Emulate Cross Service Joins in SOA Suite with Table Functions and Database Adapter
0It was fairly difficult to come up with a title for this article that sort of covers the content. To me it is quite clear what this is about – but how to convey that in a title? Let me explain: today in our project we discussed the implementation of a data service. The service operation under scrutiny takes a city as input and returns a list all open orders from customers located in that city. Nothing very special there. The interesting complication lies in the fact that the customers are part of a different domain than the orders. This means – under our architecture guidelines – that we cannot create a single SQL query that joins together the customers table with the orders table. A database link to join the tables across databases is out of the question and even if these tables currently reside in the same database – such a join is not allowed. Different data domains are treated as independent entities and no direct dependencies between the two should be created. Every design has pass the check ‘will it still work if one of the domains involved were to be relocated to the cloud or be replaced by a third party application’.
The architecture is service oriented. Every domain More >
ADF Academy launched- interactive, entertaining and educational
0Last week I was prompted to take a look at the new Oracle ADF Academy that has just published its first lesson: Developing Applications with ADF Mobile. As you probably already know, there are tons of resources on ADF. Blogs, books, tutorials, Oracle by Example instructions, YouTube movies, extensive documentations, how-tos, the forums, podcasts and more still. What could this ADF Academy add to the mix, I was wondering?
Here is what Oracle says about it:
ADF Mobile : Oracle eCourse available
0Today Oracle published the first in a series of online eLearning training materials. The ADF Academy presents free and online : Developing Applications with ADF Mobile. The main goal is to deliver technical training material to everybody that needs it. You get an online training, where you can view audio and video to learn ADF. Whenever you want to you can stop the recordings to try out everything that you learned so far, or perhaps to get a drink.
Developing Applications with ADF Mobile is available here.
Take to opportunity and learn to work with a great framework to develop mobile applications for iOS and Adroid.
Also keep an eye on technology.amis.nl for more ADF Mobile related content.
