Setting Up the Classpath to Run BC4J Applications on VisiBroker

After creating and invoking a Business Components for Java (BC4J) deployment profile, you must set up the classpath to run the CORBA server object on VisiBroker. You must also copy a batch file that will help you start your VisiBroker server class.

Note: Ensure that you have VisiBroker already installed before deploying to it. The location where VisiBroker is installed becomes your target directory. For more information about CORBA Objects on VisiBroker:

To set up the classpath to run BC4J applications on VisiBroker:

1. Right-click the .jpx file node of a Business Components Package containing at least one Application Module, and select Create Business Component Deployment Profile.
2. Follow the wizard instructions to create a Corba Server for Visibroker deployment file.
3. Right-click the deployment file node <Project_name>Visigenic.bcdeploy, and select Deploy. The deployment log displays messages similar to these:

   
   Running dependency analysis...
   Wrote JAR file to C:\904.1087\jdev\mywork\Workspace1\Project3\deploy\Project3VisigenicCommon.jar
   Running dependency analysis...
   Wrote JAR file to C:\904.1087\jdev\mywork\Workspace1\Project3\deploy\Mypackage2ModuleVisigenicServer.jar
   Elapsed time for deployment:  8 seconds
   ----  Deployment finished.  ----    Dec 3, 2002 10:30:43 AM

4. From the directory location listed in the log messages, copy the following files to your VisiBroker target directory:
   • <Project_Name>VisigenicServer.jar
   • <Project_Name>VisigenicCommon.jar
   • <Project_Name>VisigenicMT.jar
     
5. From your JDeveloper installation directory in the <jdev_install>/BC4J/lib directory, select to copy the following files to your VisiBroker target directory:
   
   • bc4jmt.jar
   • bc4jdomorcl.jar

     Note: If you are using the Oracle type mappings, use bc4jdomorcl.jar. If the application was built using "Java" type mapping, use bc4jdomgnrc.jar. Only one of these files is required depending on which mapping type you are using to build your application.

   • bc4jct.jar
   • bc4jimdomains.jar
   • collections.jar
   • bc4jct.jar

6. From your JDeveloper installation directory in <jdev_install>/BC4J/jlib directory, select to copy the following files to your VisiBroker target directory:
• bc4jmtvb.jar
• bc4jctvb.jar
7. From your JDeveloper installation directory in <jdev_install>/ord/jlib directory, select to copy the following files to your VisiBroker target directory:
• ordhttp.jar
• ordim.jar
8. From your JDeveloper installation directory in <jdev_install>/j2ee/home/lib directory, select to copy jndi.jar to your VisiBroker target directory:
9. From your JDeveloper installation directory in <jdev_install>/jdbc/lib directory, select to copy the classes12.jar to your VisiBroker target directory.
10. From your JDeveloper installation directory in <jdev_install>/lib, select to copy xmlparserv2.jar to your VisiBroker target directory.
11. From your JDeveloper installation directory in <jdev_install>/vbroker4/lib, select to copy vbjorb.jar to your VisiBroker target directory.
12. From your JDeveloper installation directory in <jdev_install>/sqlj/lib, select to copy runtime12.jar to your VisiBroker target directory.
13. From your JDeveloper installation directory in <jdev_install>/BC4J/bin directory, select to copy startCORBA.bat your VisiBroker target directory.
