Install OC4J 11G stand alone on Linux

The way I did it was:

• Install a jdk 1.5 or higher and set env var: export JAVA_HOME=$HOME/<jdkdir>
• Download the zip file from http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/11/index.html
• Create a directory oc4j in your homedir from that directory unzip the oracle zip file
• Create a env var: export ORACLE_HOME=$HOME/oc4j
• cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
• ./oc4j -start
• enter an admin password (since this is the first start)
• check the serverstatus on http://localhost:8888

Have fun..
