)
)

type in :

tnsping SRGTDEV

ALSO YOU CAN TYPE IN sqlplus at the command prompt to make sure ur oracle is properly installed. In that case you will see the following:

JDK and JRE Big lesson learnt

JDK: Java Development tool kit also includes JRE (Java Runtime Environment)

JRE: Java Runtime Environment need not be installed separately. I comes along with JDK. Just make sure if its installed properly

Also biggest mistake made today:

JDK and JRE are of separate versions.And code compiled with a different version of JDK cannot be run on separate version of JRE.

So Ant is showing the following error

class file has wrong version 49.0, should be 48.0

To read more abt this goto: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=517933&tstart=0


Resolution: What I did is uninstall both JDK and JRE and reinstall the same verison from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp

Everything went well and my Build is successful.

Choose enable weblogic Radio button on the top of this panel.

and enter the following:

Weblogic Installation Directory: C:\bea\weblogic81

Admin userName: weblogic (PS: ITs the uid and pwd u set up while starting ur server)

Installing and Starting Weblogic Server

After default installing the weblogic server in the folder c:\bea

You can start your server from the following:

C:\bea\weblogic81\server\bin

In the bin folder click on the following: startWLS.cmd

And will ask you for the user id and pwd.

Since this is the first time setup, just give any user id and password. But remember it for future use

Then after running a couple of checks it will ask you if you want to install a custom build for this startup. (Something like that with a question Y/N).

Type in Y

Now will prompt u to re-enter your password

re-enter your pwd

Thats it ur set up is complet and now you have your Weblogic server running.

To confirm GOTO:

http://localhost:7001/console

Will prompt you for a user id and pwd just enter the one that u used for your set up. And you are all set.. console is open for use. =)

YEPPEEEEE

Installing Eclipse

Installing Eclipse:

Goto eclipse.org and get the latest version of eclipse.

Download it to a folder.

Extract the zip file to a separate folder. Now you will see the eclipse icon in the extracted folder.

Double click on the icon.. your eclipse is ready to use.

You dont have to install eclipse separately.Just double clicking on the icon is enough.

You will get an error if you dont have JVM installed.


Before using eclipse make sure you have java virtual machine (JVM) installed on ur machine.
