Most Learned Ones,

I have spent hours checking google, where all issues appear to relate to Orion 2+. I am trying to deploy simple web application to local
Orion 1.5.3 install running 1.3.1JDK. Unfortunately these are the releases that our environment has stuck
us with. I am completely new to MyEclipse and Orion coming from the RAD/WAS background so you can safely assume that I deserve
the status of a newbie.

I have searched google, and the FAQs, Explored the Orion and MyEclipse sites, but cannot find anything going this far back in time.

Essentially:

1. I create the web application with no problems (assume the myEclipse tutorial)
2. I can create the JRE and Orion App server with apparently no problems in MyEclipse
3. The App will build and deploy to the Orion Server, apparently no problems (at least no errors)
4. I get no errros when Orion starts and can access the default Orion page, but am still able to get to the new web app.

Notes: I have tried using the correct URL.
If I manually deploy the Web App it works, but it creates an entry in the application.xml
(does this mean that I have to do this once for every application?)

Note: In the FAQ there was a direction to package in an EAR and deploy that way. I did this and it created the EAR but again could not successfully access
ither a simple html or simple jsp page

5. The deploy creates an autodeploy directory off of Orion root, either exploded or WAR depending on deploy option.

I assume that this is simply an issue of naivite on my part. I have read about setting the ‘autodeploy on in the server.xml config file for orion in an FAQ in the
MyEclipse site, but cannot get it to work, and all documentation refers to versions much later then 1.5.3.

All I need is to be pointed to the right museum or library of ancient knowledge, (preferably not an oracle) and I can usually figure it out on my own.

By the way, I am very impressed with the number of features in this product, and the amazing help I have gotten so far,
but I am not expecting miracles, here. You would not believe how long it took to put together the packages for the required prod environment.

All in all though, I can’t wait to explore this tool further.

Regards,

Mark W.

Configuration:

1. Eclipse 3.1.2 was freshly installed
2. No plugins other than MyEclipse have been installed yet
3. The server is Orion 1.5.3 configured to port 8080
4. There is an instance of the Oracle DB 9i Personal ed installed locally, the HTTP server is turned off.
(Note: I have now tried this with and without Oracle DB installed (fresh machine) did not change this issue, though led to others)
5. JSDK 1.4.2_11 Installed and set to JAVA_HOME
6. JSDK 1.3.1_18 Installed and configured as a JRE for Orion/MyEclipse

Solution:

Uninstall oracle HTTP Server (came as default with Oracle DB)
Reinstall Orion from scratch to a different directory
Changed just the server.xml to add autodeploy entry and default-app to use port 8080
Modified MyEclipse Entry for Orion 1 Server to new directory
Created New EAR application from scratch with Web App
Copied Web resources from old application to new
Deployed (packaged only)
Picked it up and was accessible.

All newbie mistakes, sorry for wasting everyone’s time.
