Question

I don’t know much about JSP or Java web application and I have to make some front end changes to a website written in JSP. The first step is to run the site on my local machine. I have copied the whole folder from the repo which contains the WEB-INF folder and all the config files.

How do I get it running on my WebLogic Server ?

Answer 1

Follow following steps:

1. Create a war file.
2. Go to WebLogic console. http://localhost:port/console
3. In the Change Center section of the console, click the Lock and Edit button to open the server instance for changes
4. Go to Domain Structure > Deployments
5. You will see a Summary of Deployments. Click on Install button.
6. Click on the link upload your file(s). Browse to the location on your file system where the .war file was saved. Click the radio button next to the .war file and click Next.
7. Since this is an application, for the targeting style, make sure Install this deployment as an application is selected. Click Next.
8. Click Next again to accept the defaults in this next pane, then click Finish.
9. You will now get a summary list of the settings for the deployment. Click the Save button. If everything went ok, you will see a message in green that says Settings updated successfully.
10. Back in the Change Center section of the console, click the green Activate Changes button. The application has been ‘prepared’, but not yet deployed at this point.
11. Go to Domain Structure > Deployments again.
12. In the Summary of Deployments, find your application, check the box next to it and click the Start button. Select Servicing all requests. Click Yes to continue.
13. If the state of your deployment says Active, you have successfully deployed your Web application to Weblogic.
