Setting up Oracle Application Server 10g on Solaris 10
I got a call from my system administror today from work asking me if I could install a bunch of Oracle software. I am thinking, sure I can do that, just give me telnet and xterm access and I am off to the races. Well, what started out seeming like it should only take me about 1-2 hours, took me 10 hours! First problem I had, I tried to install Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) on a Solaris 10 platform. This version of application server came out in 2003 and therefore Solaris 10 did not exist. Now I am thinking “I am screwed!” Because I have to install Oracle Mobile Server 10g (10.2.0.1) on top of Oracle Application Server and Mobile Server is only certified to work with the 9.0.4 version and not the newer 10.2.0.1 version. I like how Oracle releases products with the same release numbers but does not certify them to work together. It’s like Microsoft releasing Office XP and then telling you that Office XP does not work on Windows XP.
Anyhow, I downloaded a couple of patches on things seem to start rolling again.
The I started to install Oracle Mobile Server. The first thing the installation told me was that it needed JDK 1.4.1. I look around the Solaris box and I find version 1.5.1. Screw it! I point the JAVA13_HOME variable to Solaris’ JDK. When the install starts up, I notice that the first thing that Oracle installs is JDK 1.4.2! WTF! Why would you ask me to install something you are already going to install?
What a bitch! The worst thing about the whole experience was the xterm emulation. Holy crap was it ever slowwwwwww! I would click ‘Next’, go upstairs and straighten up the kitchen, then comeback and if I was lucky, the page would have moved.
Oh well. In the morning I start the process all over again.

What is Webtogo?
Webtogo is a Java Servlet Runner. Kind of an embedded java application server without some of the J2EE features such as JMS, EJB, etc. Web-to-go is part of Mobile Server. Essentially, it looks like the administration (Mobile Manager) screen to Oracle Lite. A user logs into webtogo and all their applications are listed. If you have a simple applications with just JSPs for example, you could easily deploy the WAR file to webtogo, compile the JSPs and a user would have the application on their desktop. All the code/files are stored within the ODB filesystem so it makes it extremely difficult for someone to mess around with the code. The other neat thing about it, is that it only takes up about 16 MB or RAM. Actually starts faster than IIS or Apache. I guess it’s Oracle Lite’s solution to rapid development
