Steve's Blog Technical Information on Oracle Middleware.

I'm using Linux Mint 16, and when I try to start the Integrated Weblogic Server (Run -> Start Server Instance) in JDeveloper I get this error:

*** Using port 7101 ***
/home/steve/.jdeveloper/system11.1.1.6.38.62.29/DefaultDomain/bin/startWebLogic.sh
[waiting for the server to complete its initialization...]
/home/steve/.jdeveloper/system11.1.1.6.38.62.29/DefaultDomain/bin/startWebLogic.sh: 1: eval: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
Process exited.


To workaround this, I changed the sha-bang in startWebLogic.sh script to run bash. i.e. #!/bin/bash

You also need to do the same for stopWebLogic.sh script to stop instance later.

Using JDev 11.1.2.4.0 I tried deploying a simple app to the emulator when I received the following error:

[02:46:21 PM] Deployment cancelled.
[02:46:21 PM] ----  Deployment incomplete  ----.
[02:46:21 PM] Failed to locate the Google Cloud Messaging for Android Library file named "gcm.jar". (oracle.adfmf.framework.dt.deploy.android.deployers.ValidatePreferencesDeployer)

I then installed GCM (which now seems to be deprecated) from Andriod SDK Manager and it worked.

I have been trying to create an OCI connection in the database navigator using Jdev 11.1.2.3. Following these docs:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35521_01/user.111230/e17455/connect_work_databases.htm#OJDUG5131
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35521_01/user.111230/e17455/connect_work_databases.htm#OJDUG2432

I'm on a 64 bit platform. So the first thing I do is set JDev to use 64bit JDK by editing the jdev.conf file i.e.
...
# Directive SetJavaHome is not required by default, except for the base
# install, since the launcher will determine the JAVA_HOME.  On Windows
# it looks in ..\..\jdk, on UNIX it first looks in ../../jdk. If no JDK
# is found there, it looks in the PATH.
#
#SetJavaHome D:\Oracle\Jdev\111230-prod\jdk160_24
SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_39
...

I'll also add the parameters for JDBC driver and path to the OCI dll's.

 #For JDBC for OCI
AddVMOption -Doracle.jdbc.library=D:\Oracle\JDBC\instantclient\x86-64\11.1.0.7.0\ojdbc6.jar
AddNativeCodePath D:\Oracle\JDBC\instantclient\x86-64\11.1.0.7.0

When I start JDev, I receive a warning for the parameter AddNativeCodePath. And I'm unable to connect.

It seems AddNativeCodePath is not recognised as a parameter. So I've comment out the line and start it by passing the library in that path environment variable.

I've used an instance client here which you can read about the setup here.
