Deploy BC4J/EJB application to GlassFish Server

Now deploying the ADF Faces application to the Glassfish server has become easy, users can directly  deploy the application from JDeveloper itself. Deploying the ADF Faces application to the Glassfish server directly runs with Oracle JDeveloper 11.1.2.3.0 onwards.

Note:- If application has model part then first configure JNDI DataSource, In my previous article I have explained how to "Configure JNDI DataSource for OracleDB in GlassFish Server". 

Implementation Steps for BC4J Application:-

1. Create a fusion web application.
2. Goto the ViewController project, right click and select project properties. In Project properties wizard select Deployment and edit the WAR deployment profile.
3. In Platform selection choose Default Platform as "Glassfish 3.1".
4. Next go to Application, right click and select project properties. In Project properties wizard select Deployment and edit the EAR deployment profile and in Platform selection choose Default Platform as "Glassfish 3.1".
5. Open AppModule.xml file and select Configurations tab.
6. Edit AppModuleLocal and modify the DataSource Name from "java:comp/env/jdbc/OracleDS" to "jdbc/OracleDS"
7. Create Application Server Connection to Glassfish server.
8. Select application, deploy the EAR file directly to the Glassfish server.

Note: - Above Default Platform determines the platform-specific behavior when packaging the archive for deployment to an Application Server.

Implementation Steps for EJB/JPA Application:-

1. Create a fusion web application.
2. Goto the Model project, right click and select project properties. In Project properties wizard select Deployment and edit the JAR deployment profile and in Platform selection choose Default Platform as "Glassfish 3.1".
3. Goto the ViewController project, right click and select project properties. In Project properties wizard select Deployment and edit the WAR deployment profile and in Platform selection choose Default Platform as "Glassfish 3.1".
4. Next go to Application, right click and select project properties. In Project properties wizard select Deployment and edit the EAR deployment profile and in Platform selection choose Default Platform as "Glassfish 3.1".
5. Open persistence.xml file and select Model->Persistence Unit->Connection tab.
6. In General selection, in JTA DataSource modify "java:/app/jdbc/jdbc/OracleDS" to "jdbc/OracleDS"
7. In JTA Properties selection, in JTA DataSource Property modify "java:/app/jdbc/jdbc/OracleDS" to "jdbc/OracleDS"
8. Application like EJB which requires jndi lookup's, we have to change the initial context factory class name. Open the DataControls.dcx file, In ejb-definition tag modify the initial-context-factory class name from "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory" to "com.sun.enterprise.naming.SerialInitContextFactory"
9. Create Application Server Connection to Glassfish server.
10. Select application, deploy the EAR file directly to the Glassfish server.
