Chapter 4: General Server Configuration

Overview

When first installed, OC4J can immediately deploy and run many simple J2EE components without any extra configuration. However, in most cases, you'll need to customize a few server settings to set up data sources, JMS queues, and other common resources. When using the OC4J Standalone Edition, these settings are changed by manually editing a collection of configuration files.

In this chapter, you'll do the following:

• Look at all the server configuration files (many of which will be described more fully in later chapters).

• Learn which files are most commonly changed, and why.

• Explore strategies for managing multiple configurations on the same server.

• Walk through the configuration of log files, ports, transaction timeouts, and other server-level settings.
