Oracle SOA AS11 Preview: Starting /stopping Embedded server

As I mentioned earlier, Oracle AS11 suite's JDeveloper embeds a oc4j container having SOA suite runtime. This server can be started from Jdev or it can be automatically started when you try to run an application. But in some cases if you should need it to be started independent of JDev, you can do it by command line.

Go to
system11.1.1.0.22.47.94\o.j2ee\embedded-oc4j\bin

At this directory you would find startsoa and shutdownsoa scripts to start and stop a SOA server.

For some reason if you have memory issue (out of memory error etc) you can change the JVMs memory by editing MEM_ARGS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m -Xmn300m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

Server Lifecycle Logs:
You can find startsoa.log at \system11.1.1.0.22.47.94\o.j2ee\embedded-oc4j\log

However, for any diagnostics, you would need to look at diagnostic log at
system11.1.1.0.22.47.94\o.j2ee\embedded-oc4j\log\soa
