OEPE JavaEE Lab Tutorial for JSF

We want to look at a simple tutorial from the Oracle web site which demonstrates how to
develop a simple JSF web application with Eclipse and the Oracle Enterprise Pack for
Eclipse. Since this tutorial is targeted to WLS 10.3 there are some modifications to be made,
in order to run it with WLS12c and OEPE 12c. We take a brief look at the example itself and
point out the changes.

OEPE Hands on Labs for WLS 11g

After some frustrating moments, trying to quickly going through the OEPE 11g Hands-on-Labs for Web-Services on WLS12c, I spent some time with problem analysis and eventually confirmed that the labs still run with the latest versions of WLS and Eclipse. We will present a graphical overview of each lab and  note some required changes for the version OEPE 12c.

Setting up a WLS-Webservice Example in Eclipse

I like the API Examples that ship with WLS because they contain a level of complexity that is just enough to demonstrate the technology slice at hand. In other words, they are kept very simple. Therefore they are an excellent starting point for small test applications that can be used in very complex environments. We want to look at the Example: “Creating a Web Service from an Existing WSDL File”. We demonstrate how to quickly integrate it into Eclipse with full support of code completion, context sensitive help and on-the-fly compilation support.

WLS12c and the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse     

The Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse extends the IDE to tailor it to the use with WLS. It contains a number of editors and features which makes the interworking smoothly. We will have a look at the OEPE and how it plays together with WLS12c on an OSX installation.

WLS ships with ready to use and configured examples. We will look at one example that demonstrates JavaEE6 features. We want to use Eclipse not only to analyse the examples, but also demonstrate a setup as an Eclipse project to go through the full edit – compile –install- test cycle. This exemplifies the usage of the WLS examples as mini projects, which can be used in situation where we want to run simple tests or in prototyping situations.

WLS12c on OSX

The new version of WLS also ships for Mac OSX. We look at the installation on a MacBook Pro running Snowleapard. We start the example server and do a full de-installation afterwards.
