I've done my best to perform due diligence and have been reading the blojsum website and material for the past 24 hours. Now, I am trying to go the next step and being a "newbie" am stuck at the beginning.
 
I have the following environment: Oracle 10g, Weblogics 8.1, Sun Java Web Server (using the webserver only on a front-end), Solaris 10 .
 
I noticed that there weren't any install instructions for this type of configuration, do I have a chance at success?  I'll do the reading and come back with better questions, if I can get some pointers in the right direction.
 
Thank You
Dave

I used WebSphere and didn't have a problem, so I don't see why you would have a problem.

Installing the war should be straight forward as installing any other J2EE app.

As far as the database you will probably need to modify some of the sql scripts found in the jar to create the database and the tables, but most likely they will run as is.

The sql scripts can be found in /blojsom.war/WEB-INF/classes*.sql

Good luck and let us know if you need more help.

Dave-

There are SQL scripts (as of blojsom 3.1) and properties files for Oracle.

<http://blojsom.cvs.sourceforge.net/blojsom/blojsom-3.0/sql-scripts/>
<;http://blojsom.cvs.sourceforge.net/blojsom/blojsom-3.0/properties/oracle/>;

You may just need to follow the general instructions and then where it says to use say MySQL, use Oracle.

Hi, I've managed to get some today to begin installing / configuring and this is what I've accomplished.
 
Solaris 10, Oracle 10g, Weblogics 8.1.2 .
 
-  Modified the blojsom-full-initial-data-oracle.sql.orig removing the "localhost:8080" entries and replacing with my real values.
 - -  INSERT INTO Blojsom_Properties VALUES (Blojsom_property_id_Seq.nextval, Blojsom_id_Seq.currval,'blog-url','http://blueprd3.polaroid.com:7005/blojsom/blog/default');
 - -  INSERT INTO Blojsom_Properties VALUES (Blojsom_property_id_Seq.nextval, Blojsom_id_Seq.currval,'blog-admin-url','http://blueprd3.polaroid.com:7005/blojsom/blog/default');
 - -  INSERT INTO Blojsom_Properties VALUES (Blojsom_property_id_Seq.nextval, Blojsom_id_Seq.currval,'blog-base-url','http://blueprd3.polaroid.com:7005/blojsom');
 - -  INSERT INTO Blojsom_Properties VALUES (Blojsom_property_id_Seq.nextval, Blojsom_id_Seq.currval,'blog-base-admin-url','http://blueprd3.polaroid.com:7005/blojsom');
 
-  Had my DBA to setup an Oracle database for me and he did that and ran the blojsom-full-initial-data-oracle.sql.orig successfully.
 
-  Copied the properties files ( *.xml) located in blojsom.war file: WEB-INFclassesOracle up one level
 
-  Modified the blojsom-helper-beans-include.xml file.
 - -  <bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
 - -  <property name="driverClassName" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"/&gt;
 - -  <property name="url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:oradev3.polaroid.com:1526:BLOJSOM"/>
 - -  <property name="username" value="username of my database"/>
 - -  <property name="password" value="password of my database"/>
 - -  </bean&gt;
 
- built a connection pool in WebLogics (not sure if this is used or not at the moment.
 - -  dbc:oracle:thin:oradev3.polaroid.com:1526:BLOJSOM
 - -  - oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
 
- uploaded  the modifed blojsom.war file to to the applicaiton server using Weblogics "deploy a new web applicaiton module"
 - - accepted defaults and deployed.
 
I am able to access the defualy blog and the flavor=admin .  (indicates I am reading the database)
I am able to change the default password, exit, and logon with new password (indicates I am able to read/write/read the database).
 
So, for what I've done, is this goodness?&nbsp; Next steps?&nbsp; Once, I have it running, I will want to front-end the application with a webserver, but I think that is a few days out.
 
Dave
