Chapter 4.1: Deployment in Web

1. 4.1.1 Define steps to deploy a web application

   • 1. Arrange the resources (servlets, JSPs, static files, and deployment descriptors) in the prescribed directory format
     • 2. Write the Web Application deployment descriptor (web.xml). In this step you register servlets, define servlet initialization parameters, register JSP tag libraries, define security constraints, and define other Web Application parameters.
       • 3. Create the WebLogic-Specific Deployment Descriptor (weblogic.xml). In this step you define JSP properties, JNDI mappings, security role mappings, and HTTP session parameters
         • 4. Archive the files in the above directory structure into a .war file. Only use archiving when the Web Application is ready for deployment in a production environment.
           • 5. Deploy the Web Application on Weblogic Server in one of two ways: using the Administration Console or by copying the Web Application into the applications directory of your domain
             • 6. Assign deployment attributes for your Web Application

2. 4.1.2 Understand the directory structure

   • WebApplicationName/
     • Place your static files, such as HTML files and JSP files in this directory (or a subdirectory).
       • /WEB-INF/web.xml
         • The Web Application deployment descriptor that configures the Web Application.
           • /WEB-INF/weblogic.xml
             • The WebLogic-specific deployment descriptor file that defines how named resources in the web.xml file are mapped to resources residing elsewhere in WebLogic Server
