The Workshop for WebLogic Samples Domain

This topic describes the samples server domain designed to run the Workshop for WebLogic samples.

The Workshop for WebLogic samples (both the SamplesWorkspace and the tutorial-based samples) can be deployed and run on the samples domain, located at:

BEA_HOME/wlserver_10.0/samples/domains/workshop

Many individual samples may not run on other server domains, because of specific resource dependencies.

Domain Resources

The Workshop for WebLogic samples domain is configured as follows:

The domain contains a single WebLogic Server instance: the administration server for the domain.
The default listen port is 7001.
A PointBase database is configured for the sample applications; the JNDI name for the data source is samplesDataSource. Two other data sources are configured named cgDataSource and cgDataSource-nonXA.
A JMS Server named WseeJmsServer is provided.
Numerous library modules are configured, to support logging, Apache Beehive, Java Server Pages, Java Server Faces, and Apache Struts.
The startup script for the domain (BEA_HOME/wlserver_10.0/samples/domains/workshop/bin/startWebLogic.cmd|sh) is set to development mode. For more information on development and production modes see Tuning WebLogic Server in the WebLogic Server documentation.

For more configuration details see the main server configuration file at BEA_HOME/wlserver_10.0/samples/domains/workshop/config/config.xml.

Using the Database Explorer

The samples Database Control: Customer and WebAppTutorial automatically create datatables when they are deployed and run. You can explore these datatables by following this procedure:

Window > Show View > Other > Data > Database Explorer > Ok
On the Database Explorer tab, right-click Connections and select New Connection.
In the New Connection dialog, in the Database field, enter FooBar (any value works),
in the JDBC driver class field, enter com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver,
in the Class location field, browse to <BEA_HOME>/wlserver_10.0/common/eval/pointbase/lib/pbclient51.jar,
in the Connection URL field, enter jdbc:pointbase:server://localhost:9093/weblogic_eval,
in the User ID field, enter weblogic,
in the Password field, enter weblogic.
Click Finish.
