The following document should walk you through your fist steps with JApex.
The following document assumes you have a very basic understanding of what is Java, and that you have successfully downloaded and installed the following pieces of software
If you haven't already, please grab a JApex distribution package from here. Once you download and decompress the package, you should find the following files included
the script doesn't explicitly specify a schema for the objects, if your application uses a single schema, or you plan to have JApex Report storage objects coexist with your business objects, this should be fine.
please feel free to modify the name of the objects as you see fit, please refer to the section HERE on samples on possible modifications.
If you run Tomcat with its default settings, installation should be as simple as:

That's it, japex has been installed, let's move to step 3 configuration
connecting JApex to your database is simply a matter of defining few connection parameters in a simple text file and restarting your tomcat.
continuing from step to, while you're at the CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory, and after tomcat installs japex.war, you should now find a new created folder called "japex". this is the contents of the web archive extracted by Tomcat.
# as always, parsing schema defaults to the user name used to connect to DB db.username=japex db.password=japexpass # unless you're using JApex to connect to databases other than Oracle (;-)) # you don't need to change that db.driver.classname=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver # the url is in the format # jdbc:oracle:thin:@<SERVER_NAME OR SERVER_IP>:<PORT>:<SID> db.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.1.1.123:1521:XE
The parameters are really self explanatory, and the file mentions all what is needed to modify.
that's it, you have now configured japex.
