In this step you will create the application that you will be working with throughout this tutorial. In WebLogic Workshop, an application contains one or more projects that hold the various components of the application. In this tutorial you will create a web project for the page flow.
The tasks in this step are:
If you are using a Linux operating system, follow these instructions.
$HOME/bea/weblogic81/workshop/Workshop.sh
sh Workshop.sh
When you create a new Default Application, Workshop creates the application structure shown to the right.
The
top-level folder GettingStarted_WebApp is the containing folder
for the entire application. All of the source files for your application
exist in this folder.
The folder GettingStarted_WebAppWeb is a project folder. An application can contain any number of project folders and there are many different kinds of project folders, including Web projects, Web Services projects, Schema projects, and so forth. GettingStarted_WebAppWeb is a Web project, created by default when you created the default application in the last dialog. Web projects contain the following common resources for web applications:
The Modules folder stores stand-alone applications (packaged as WAR and JAR files) that can be deployed parallel with your web application, if you wish.
The Libraries folder is for the storage of resources that are to be used across multiple projects, provided the resources are packaged as JAR files. For example, if you had a control or an EJB that you wanted to re-use across all your projects, you would store it in the Libraries folder.
The Security Roles folder lets you define security roles and test users for your web application. You can test the security design of your web application by logging in as a test user.
You can confirm whether WebLogic Server is running by looking at the status bar at the bottom of WebLogic Workshop. If WebLogic Server is running, a green ball is displayed.
If WebLogic Server is not running, a red ball is displayed.
You are now ready to begin designing your web application.
