I have been working the many tutorials in your excellent product for several weeks now, and am very happy with the results I have seen so far. Now I need to get serious about deploying real web apps to test instances on our production Oracle Application Server. I have read many extensive postings on deploying to OC4J, and I have downloaded your TraderX tutortial, and am starting to work it.

My problem with the TraderX tutorial is that it deploys to a JBoss server on the same machine that MyEclipse resides on. This reminds me that your tutorial on deploying to application servers cautions us that MyEclipse does not support deployments to remote machines.

On the other hand, in the forums, support-scott – on June 1, 2004 – provided a key sequence for the creation of an EAR, and it’s deployment to OC4J as though there was no problem at all.

Can someone give me the latest info on developing an EAR in MyEclipse Pro, and deploying to a remote OC4J server? If such a deployment cannot be done, I’d rather not waste the time stumbling around inside a bunch of technical black holes.

For the record, here, below, is my installation summary:

Thanks in advance for any help.

Jsmetz,
You are correct that MyEclipse has never directly supported deployment to *remote* server installs (Regardless of the server). There is however, a way to do this.

If you are able to locally mount the remote server’s deployment directory, when you go create the deployment in MyEclipse for your EAR, you can select a “Custom Location” deployment, and then for the location, specify the locally mounted remote dir location… when you deploy it is effectively deployed to the remote directory that the server managers, and then the server can deploy that file.

So the end result is that you have remote deployment.

Makes sense to me Riyad. I’ll try it. Thanks.
