OC4J 10.1.3.3 unable to find ojms.rar setting up database persistences

Question

Howdy,

I'm running into problems with JMS in Oracle AS 10.1.3.3.

The error I am getting is 'connectors\ojms.rar (The system cannot find the path specified)' from EM.

Below are a few bullets on the environment.

• This is on a Windows XP SP3 machine.
• All configuration is through EM.
• The EM is a local instance that has been used for over a year.
• This instance has existing db connection management exposed through JNDI.
• Oracle_home is set to the directory where I unzip the OC4J zip file. c:\oc4j_10.1.3.3.
• ojms.rar file is in %ORACLE_HOME%\j2ee\home\connectors

Configuring OC4J for JMS with Database Persistence I've create a new data connection for Oracle AQ and exposed the connection through JNDI as jms/flexc

When creating the Resource Adapter through EM, I'm providing the following information: Resource Name: JMS on FlexC Adding a new resource Name : jmsFlexc Datasource JNDI : jms/flexc (selected from dropdown box)

Very quickly, I get the error below:

An error has occurred.
connectors\ojms.rar (The system cannot find the path specified)

Answer 1

Discovered that this is a bug in OC4J.

The solution was found by a colleague as a comment made to this blog

I also got an error when deploying the resource adapter. I found that this was a bug in Oracle Standalone 10.1.3.3.0 (bug 6786060 on Metalink) and can be solved either by using 10.1.3.2.0 or by starting Oracle standalone without the ORACLE_HOME environment variable. This is made by the command "java -jar oc4j.jar". I used the last solution and it worked fine for me.
