This document explains how to install the Oracle Application Server 10g Java Edition on Microsoft Windows XP. Vermont may end up using it for our Modernized eFile viewer application, but Oracle Application Server is not a requirement for] running any part of the gateway application. gateway runs successfully on JBoss and we will continue to support that.
This document assumes that you have a recent Java Development Kit (JDK) installed. By recent I mean 1.5.0 or higher. Though, I have heard that 1.4.2 will run oc4j. It is also assumed that you have a Windows XP system with a reasonable amount of RAM, disk space and CPU to run a full Java EE Application Server.
To begin with, you need the Oracle Application Server software. You can get it from Oracle here .
The zip file you download can be expanded using 7-zip . Unzip the file to a place that's easy to remember.

After logging in, go to the "Administration" tab. Then select the "JDBC Resources" task. Create a new connection pool for the 'default' application. Choose a name for the connection pool (mef-pool?), enter the URL and credentials. Then create a managed data source for the 'default' application. Name the data source MeFDS and set the JNDI location to MeFDS.
Just use Control+C in the console.
