About UIX Deployment Dependencies

To deploy, ADF UIX requires a servlet engine that supports the Java Servlet API version 2.0 or later. At a minimum, UIX requires version 1.2.2 of the Java 2 Standard Edition platform. J2SE v1.4.1 or higher is recommended.

On UNIX platforms, the servlet engine must be configured to connect to an X Server for dynamic image generation. Note that this dependency is not required if you are using J2SE v1.4.x. See the "Image Generation in ADF UIX" chapter in the UIX Developer's Guide for details.

UIX Runtime and Installable Resources

The UIX runtime JAR and installable resource files are distributed with JDeveloper as well as with Oracle Application Server and Oracle Developer Suite.

The UIX classes are distributed in a single JAR file, uix2.jar . UIX runtime also depends on these libraries:

share.jar (common utility classes used by UIX and other Oracle libraries)
regexp.jar (Apache Regular Expression library)
xmlparserv2.jar (Oracle XML Parser)

The UIX installable resource files (images, style sheets, JSP, and JavaScript libraries) are distributed in the uix2-install.zip file. See About OC4J Directory Structure for UIX Deployment for information about the locations of the UIX installable resources and runtime JAR files on OC4J.

When deploying from JDeveloper, the UIX runtime JARs and installable resources are automatically bundled with the application resources and libraries into the J2EE archives. This ensures that your deployed UIX application has the correct UIX version to run on the target application server. The optimal server setup, however, would be for all deployed UIX applications to have access to one set of the UIX runtime Jars and installable resources. See Configuring OC4J for UIX Deployment for information about configuring a standalone OC4J instance to run UIX applications.
