  2. Application Deployments

10 Application Deployments

This chapter describes how to monitor, control, and configure various types of applications deployed to the current domain. Application deployment refers to the process of making an application or module available for processing client requests in a WebLogic Server domain.

WebLogic Server implements the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 8 specification. Java EE 8 includes a deployment specification, JSR-88, that describes a standard API used by deployment tools and application server providers to configure and deploy applications to an application server. For more information about application deployment, see Deploying Applications to Oracle WebLogic Server.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Understanding application deployment scopes

When deploying an application, you select the scope in which you want to deploy that application.

If an application is deployed to the domain, then you can target the application to the WebLogic Server instances and clusters within the domain.

The deployment menu options change depending on the scope and target of your application. The following deployment menus are available:

  • Domain Application Deployment

  • Application Deployment

  • Clustered Application Deployment

Libraries

Java EE libraries provide an easy way to share one or more types of Java EE modules among multiple enterprise applications.

A Java EE library is a standalone EJB or Web application module, multiple EJB or Web application modules packaged in an enterprise application (EAR), or a single plain JAR file that is registered with the Java EE application container upon deployment. After the library has been registered, you can deploy enterprise applications that reference the library. Each referencing application receives a reference to the required library module(s) on deployment, and can use those modules as if they were packaged as part of the referencing application itself. The shared library classes are added to the classpath of the referencing application, and the referencing application's deployment descriptors are merged (in memory) with those of the Java EE library modules.

Resource adapters

A resource adapter is a system library specific to an Enterprise Information System (EIS) and provides connectivity to an EIS. A resource adapter is analogous to a JDBC driver, which provides connectivity to a database management system. The interface between a resource adapter and the EIS is specific to the underlying EIS. The resource adapter plugs into an application server, such as WebLogic Server, and provides seamless connectivity between the EIS, application server, and enterprise application.

A resource adapter is packaged and deployed like any other application. Its initial configuration can be specified in its deployment descriptor files, ra.xml and weblogic-ra.xml.
