This document shows how to install Oracle SOA suite with adapter. It is based on Oracle SOA suite PS2 (11.1.1.3) release.
I was trying to install it on Windows XP first, but the weblogic server cannot be started because the "not enough space for object heap" error. So I switched the installation to Linux. That's why you will find some Windows path in the document, but should not be too confused.
On Windows, here is the error I got when I tried to start the server. I tried to set the Xms and Xmx value, but no luck.
Error occurred during initialization of VMCould not reserve enough space for object heapCould not create the Java virtual machine.So better to do the installation on Linux box.
Step 1: Download the following packages from OTN:
Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11-download-092893.html to download the following packages:
- Weblogic Server (10.3.3): Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.4) + Coherence - Package Installer (File1-796MB)
- SOA Suite (11.1.1.2.0) - Generic 1.7GB (all platforms)
- SOA Suite (11.1.1.3.0) - PS2 patch set, Generic 1.9GB (all platforms)
- Application Adapters (11.1.1.3.0) - Generic 194MB
- Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.3.3) - 323MB
- JDeveloper and Application Development Framework in the Required Addition Software section
Unzip those packages to a directory. The adapter package includes all platform installation bits, the one for windows is iwora11g.application-adapters.win32.exe.
Step 2 Installation:Run wls1034_win32.exe to install Weblogic Server.
Unzip SOA package and run setup.exe located in the Disk1 directory to install SOA PS1 on top of the Weblogic Server. You need provide the java home if it's not available.

install SOA PS2 (11.1.1.3) patch on top of PS1 by running ofm_soa_generic_11.1.1.3.0_disk1_1of1\Disk1\setup.exe
Then follow the steps in

Unzip
Repository Creation Utility package, then go to bin directory, run the following command
export XEDB=XX.XX.XX.XX:port:XID
./rcu -silent -createRepository -connectString ${XEDB} -dbUser sys -dbRole sysdba -lockSchemas false -schemaPrefix XXX -component SOAINFRA -component MDS -component ORASDPM -component BAM

- Install SOA extension on top of the JDev
Go to Help->Check for Updates, provide proxy server information if necessary.
Choose 'Oracle SOA Composite Editor 11.1.1.3.0.25.57' to get the extension.
A soa-jdev-extension.zip file will be downloaded to ./jdeveloper/tmp/update if you are curious what it's doing behind the scene.
restart jdev to finish the update.
TroubleshootingC:\Oracle\shiphome\otn11.1.1.3\Oracle_SOA1\OPatch>opatch.bat lsinventory
The Oracle Home C:\Oracle\shiphome\OTN111~1.3 is not OUI based home. Please give proper Or
acle Home.
OPatch returns with error code = 1
OPatch failed with error code = 1
this means the ORACLE_HOME is not set correctly.
- JavaHome value defined in system registry->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->JavaSoft->Java Development Kit should not contains spaces.
- OutOfMemory issue when installing adapter file

The ScaReferenceProcessor class file is located in MIDDLEWARE_HOME/modules/com.oracle.weblogic.sca.engine_1.2.0.0.jar (For 11.1.1.3 installation)
But the jar file referenced in the oracle.soa.wls.jar (located at ORACLE_HOME/soa/modules) still points to the 11.1.1.2 version jar file name which is com.oracle.weblogic.sca.engine_1.1.0.0.jar. You can unzip the oracle.soa.wls.jar file and check the MANIFEST.MF file.
The solution is either to update the MANIFEST file with the right jar file name or create symbolic link for the com.oracle.weblogic.sca.engine_1.2.0.0.jar file. For example, go to MIDDLEWARE_HOME/modules directory and run the following command:
ln -s com.oracle.weblogic.sca.engine_1.2.0.0.jar com.oracle.weblogic.sca.engine_1.1.0.0.jar
icon to start the JDev B instance.
