no, you can't use the OC4J embedded with EMGC.
you need Oracle Containers for J2EE (10.1.3.2 or above)
the article indicates this:
Before getting started, you will need to have Oracle Containers for
J2EE (OC4J) up and running. The following version of OC4J have been
verified to work with the FOP solution outlined below. Oracle
Containers for J2EE (10.1.3.2 or above)
Available for download from OTNInstallation instructions and
configuration

One of my APEX developers came to me wondering about getting pdf
printing working in our APEX 3.1 install.
I did a little digging and came up with this document on Oracle's APEX
site for printing:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
I get to the part that says: "Before getting started, you will need to
have Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J) up and running." and I figure
I'm good to go since I have a EM GC instance (version 10.2.0.5) running
with OC4J.
Here's where the wheels begin to fall off for me. In the configuration
guide it says:
Step
1: Installing the WAR file
Place the fop.war file (located in apex_install_directory/utlities/fop)
in an accessible location on your local machine. You then follow the
directions below or can view the process by running this viewlet.
Navigate
to your OC4J Oracle Enterprise Manager Console eg:
http://localhost:8888/em/
Select
the Applications Tab
Select
Deploy Button
On
the "Deploy: Select Archive" page use the option "Archive is present on
local host. Upload the archive to the server where Application Server
Control is running." Use the file browse to select the fop.war file and
click "Next" button
On
the "Deploy: Application Attributes" page set the "Application Name"
option to "fop" and clear the "Context Root " option and click "Next"
Button
On
the Deploy: Deployment Settings click the "Deploy" button
Well, my EM has no Applications Tab, so I figure what it meant was the
Applications "tab" under the EnterpriseManager0. I click on the
Applications "tab" but can find no "Deploy" button.
I'm stumped as to where to go next. The APEX application server
doesn't seem to have OC4J running (and I can't seem to get EMGC to see
that I have an Oracle Application Server running on that box, but that
is a separate issue).
So, before I spend a couple of days chasing my tail and/or waiting for
Support to get back to me, I figured I would pose the question here:
Has anyone gotten APEX printing to work? Am I thinking incorrectly
that I can use the EM OC4J to accomplish this?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
