Installing Rule Author on a standalone OC4J 10.1.3

It is possible to install the Rule Author on a standalone OC4J 10.1.3. Below is one way of achieving this.

1. Copy the ruleauthor.ear from a AS installation on Linux, located in /rules/webapps to the windows machine, for example to d:\tmp\ruleauthor.ear

2. Startup a standalone OC4J 10.1.3 on the windows machine.

3. Deploy the Rule Author to it using:

java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost:23791 oc4jadmin  
     -deploy -file D:/tmp/ruleauthor.ear -deploymentName ruleauthor

and

java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost:23791 oc4jadmin  
     -bindWebApp ruleauthor ruleauthor default-web-site ruleauthor

4. Add the default user, goto http://localhost:8888/em/ and follow the steps given in the Oracle Business Rules User's Guide, section 2.1:

don't forget to restart the ruleautor application after defining the user.

5. Now you can use the Rule Author at the URL http://localhost:8888/ruleauthor/RuleHome.uix by using the user created in previous step.
