Loading BC4J Runtime Libraries to an Application Server

The following is a list of Business Components for Java (BC4J) runtime libraries which must exist on your application server before you deploy any Business Components for Java (BC4J) applications.

If you are not using the OC4J bc4j2oc4j.bat script or WebLogic startup script to automatically load the necessary BC4J libraries from your classpath to your application server, you'll need to load these libraries manually as instructed below.

Notes:

• If you are deploying to the Oracle9i Application Server, these runtime libraries are already installed in the server so you can skip these steps.
• The embedded OC4J server's application.xml file contains a listing of the J2EE application runtime files and sets the classpath to these files. You can find application.xml in your JDeveloper installation directory at:

  <jdev_install>/j2ee/home/config

BC4J Runtime Libraries

In <jdev_install>/bc4j/lib, copy the BC4J runtime libraries to the application server's /lib directory:

• bc4jct.jar
• bc4jctejb.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 which is located in <jdev_install>/bc4j/jlib. Only one of these files is required depending on which mapping type you are using to build your application.
• bc4jhtml.jar
• bc4jimdomains.jar
• bc4jmt.jar
• bc4jmtejb.jar
• bc4juixtags.jar
• collections.jar
• datatags.jar

UIX and JDeveloper Runtime Libraries

For UIX component support and JDeveloper runtime support, copy these files in <jdev_install>/jlib to your application server's /lib directory:

• jdev-cm.jar
• regexp.jar
• share.jar
• uix2.jar

Also, for UIX support, copy this file in <jdev_install>/Bc4j/redist to your application server's /lib directory. In the case where you are deploying to a Tomcat server, copy this file to the <Tomcat_install>/webapps directory.

• cabo.war

JDBC Database and Character Conversion Libraries

For JDBC database retrieval and character conversion, copy these files in <jdev_install>/jdbc/lib to your application server's /lib directory:

• classes12.jar
  
• nls_charset12.jar

interMedia Text Libraries

For interMedia Text support, copy these files in <jdev_install>/ord/jlib to your application server's /lib directory. interMedia Text is an Oracle9i feature for storing, retrieving, and manipulating audio, document, image, and video data in an Oracle database.

• ordim.jar
• ordhttp.jar

Runtime Support Libraries

For runtime support, copy this file in <jdev_install>/sqlj/lib to your application server's /lib directory.

• runtime12.jar

Also, copy this file in jdev_install>/jdev/lib to your application server's /lib directory.

• jdev-rt.jar

XML Support Library

For XML support, copy this file in <jdev_install>/lib to your application server's /lib directory.

• xmlparserv2.jar

Client Data Model

For client data model support, copy this file in <jdev_install>/bc4j/lib to the application server's /lib directory.

• bc4j_jclient_common.jar

(Optional) BC4J Web Applications

For BC4J web application image and cascading style sheet support, copy this file in the <jdev_install>/Bc4j/redist to your application server's /lib directory. In the case where you are deploying to a Tomcat server, copy this file to the <Tomcat_install>//webapps directory.

• webapp.war

See also: When deploying BC4J web applications, continue with the manual installation process in Copying BC4J Runtime Libraries to OC4J for Web Application Deployment to add the BC4J web dependencies to your web application's WAR file.
