Question

I have WebLogic installed in my computer. I already added it as a server in my Eclipse IDE. How do I configure my Web application to run or for it to be deployed on the WebLogic server. I found a sample project and found a weblogic.xml in it. Where do I start? Do I need to add something, etc.

Answer 1

If your web application is already a “Dynamic Web Application“, then you should be able to deploy it just by right clicking on it, then Run As > Run on Server and choose the WebLogic Server runtime.

If this doesn’t work, maybe you need to add the right facet to your project. Right click on your project and go to Properties > Project Facets and check that Dynamic Web Module is checked.

If this still doesn’t work, maybe recreate a “Dynamic Web Application” from scratch and move (or copy) your sources to this newly created project.

Many tutorials are actually available at the WTP Community Resources page. See for example Using the Eclipse Web Tools Platform with Apache Tomcat. It is not specific to WebLogic but if you already have it setup in Eclipse, it should be easy to adapt the specific parts.

PS: It’s hard to say anything about your sample project and the weblogic.xml as you didn’t provide any detail about them. Maybe try to follow the advices above and, if you still have problems, update your question with more information.
