Question

Eclipse with Weblogic

Asked by: simi

Hi,

I am new to Weblogic.
I worked with Websphere (WSAD 4 and 5) and Eclipse.

I downloaded Weblogic 8.1 and try to start learning working with it.

What I would like to do is to use Eclipse with a Weblogic plugin that I found here http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/wlplugin.jsp so that I develop a Web application, Struts based, in Eclipse, but deploy it on Weblogic.

The Weblogic plugin is only for Weblogic 6 or 7, so it might not work with 8.
In this case I could use Tomcat as an application server(don't use ejb's), and test my web app, and when ready I could deploy it to the Weblogic server.

However I find it difficult to figure out how to do this.

I learned how to create a server and start it. However there is nothing to show me how could I deploy a war or an ear file into the server instance.

Help would be greatly appreciated.
To be precise, I downloaded Weblogic Platform 8.1, the one currently available on Weblogic site, that offers it for free for one year.

Thanks.

It's really easy:

Open admin console, go to the deployments, right-click on the applications, coose "deploy a new application" . Choose .ear or .jar what you'd like to deploy from your local hard drive.
If server is running on other machine, then coose to upload your app to the server.

If you'd like to deploy a .war, then perform the same steps within Web Applications tab.

Thanks.

I will try it this evening.
Can you please point exactly ow I get to the admin console.

Also, is there any way for me to use Eclipse with Weblogic without having to deploy.
Meaning, instead using tomcat, use directly Weblogic as a server instance but develop in Eclipse as opposed to deploy in the Weblogic Workshop.

Thanks.

you can get to weblogic admin. console by typing in your browser:

http://%server_ip%:%server_port%/console

You can find server ip and port in config.xml file in your domain configuration.

I am not sure about your second question, but i think it's not possible to use Eclipse without deploying to Weblogic.

Eugene.

Isnt it better to use ant to copy your war file to the applications directory of WLS? If your WLS is setup with hot-deploy, then it can pick up your changes straight away without having to use the admin console (theres nothing wrong with admin console, just slower),
