Configuring Weblogic 8.1 in Eclipse - setting up environment variables

Asked by: ge0rgej0seph

Hello

I wish to configure my eclipse to run weblogic, for debugging.
I have been successful in getting the weblogic to start from command prompt.

However since the startWeblogic.cmd file calls another cmd file for setting up variables, sets path variables,
classpath etc.i am unsure of how to go about with this in Eclipse. I have installed the weblogic plugin -com.bea.weblogic.eclipse-2.0.0.zip

eg: my startWeblogic.cmd looks like this

set WL_HOME=C:\bea\weblogic81
for %%i in ("%WL_HOME%") do set WL_HOME=%%~fsi

set PRODUCTION_MODE=

set JAVA_VENDOR=Sun

set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_15
for %%i in ("%JAVA_HOME%") do set JAVA_HOME=%%~fsi

@REM Call commEnv here AFTER setting the java_vendor to get common environmental settings.

call "%WL_HOME%\common\bin\commEnv.cmd"

@REM Set SERVER_NAME to the name of the server you wish to start up.

set SERVER_NAME=myserver

set CLASSPATH=%WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH%;%POINTBASE_CLASSPATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\rt.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\webservices.jar;%CLASSPATH%

set CONFIG_VAR=cactisconfigfile=C:\sitacus\sitacus_config.xml
set CONFIG_SERV_VAR=configserviceimpl=com.gj.nagp.sitacus.services.config.impl.sitacusConfigServiceImpl

@REM Call WebLogic Server

echo .
echo CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%
echo .
echo PATH=%PATH%
echo .
echo ***************************************************
echo *  To start WebLogic Server, use a username and   *
echo *  password assigned to an admin-level user.  For *
echo *  server administration, use the WebLogic Server *
echo *  console at http:\\[hostname]:[port]\console    *

You have to add your server's instance to the Weblogic plugin, and then start it!
