Steps to deploy a Web Application

Steps to deploy a Web Application

1. Archive the files in the above directory structure into a .war file

2. 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.

3. 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

4. Arrange the resources (servlets, JSPs, static files, and deployment descriptors) in the prescribed directory format

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

6. 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.
