Unable to deploy to standalone oc4j - jdeveloper

Question

I am trying to deploy an ear to oc4j stand alone server. I think i have deployed it sucessfully because the operation completed sucessfully without any warning.
Now to test I guess I have to bind this web app to some website. When I tried to bind , I am getting the following error:
C:\oracle\JDEV2\j2ee\home>java -jar admin.jar ormi://127.0.0.1:22667 oc4jadmin w

elcome -deploy -file C:\RTTTLea\dist\appr.ear -deploymentName appr_ear
And it looks the deployment was successful.

Also after deploying , I can see my application in the list of applications in View -> Connections -> Application Server , which means the deployment is successful. Now I want to open the homepage to verify.

Answer 1

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Category seems to indicate that your EAR file is missing the jar file for log4j or that a wrong version of log4j is in your server.
