Configuring Server Connection

Overview

If your web services are exposed and invoked through BPEL PM, to successfully deploy BPEL processes to Oracle Application Server, you must first establish the necessary server connection information used at runtime in the background.

This chapter includes the following topics on how to configure the server connection:

Creating the Application Server Connection

You must establish a connectivity between the design-time environment and the server you want to deploy it to. In order to establish such a connectivity, you must create the application server connection.

Use the following steps to create the application server connection:

  1. From Oracle JDeveloper (for example, Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.3.3), select View > Connection Navigator to open the Connections tab.

  2. Right-click on the Application Server and select New Application Server Connection.

    Click Next.
