Steps to deploy a web application

Steps to deploy a web application

1. 1. Arrange the resource in the prescribed directory format.

   •  (servlets, JSPs, static files, and deployment descriptors)

2. 2. Write the Web Application deployment descriptor (web.xml).

   • step you register servlets, define servlet initialization parameters, register JSP tag libraries, define security constraints, and define other Web Application parameters

3. 3. Create the WebLogic-Specific Deployment Descriptor (weblogic.xml).

   •  step you define JSP properties, JNDI mappings, security role mappings, and HTTP session parameters. If you do not need to define any of the attributes defined in this file, you do not need to create the file.

4. 6. Assign deployment attributes for Web Application

   • Open the Administration Console Select the Web Applications node. Select your Web Application. Assign your Web Application to a WebLogic Server, cluster, or Virtual Host. Select the File tab and define the appropriate attributes.

5. 5. Deploy the Web Application on Weblogic Server

   • Select the Web Applications node in the left pane. Click Install a New Web Application. Browse to the location in your file system of the .war file. Click Upload. This procedure creates a new entry in the config.xml file containing the configuration for your Web Application and copies your Web Application to an internal location. To deploy a Web Application (in either archived or exploded format) by copying:

6. 4. File in the above directory structure into a .war file. Just use the archive when Web Application is ready for used.

   • (During development you may find it more convenient to update individual components of your Web Application by developing your application in exploded directory format.)
