Creating an Application Server Connection

You must create a connection to the application server to which to deploy a SOA composite application. The following instructions describe how to create a connection to Oracle WebLogic Server. For information about using the IntegratedWebLogicServer connection available with the Oracle SOA Suite Quick Start installation, see Installing SOA Suite and Business Process Management Suite Quick Start for Developers.

Note:

You can also create an application server connection by selecting Window > Application Servers, then right-clicking the Application Servers node in the Applications window and selecting New Application Server. This option prompts you to create a standalone server connection or Integrated WebLogic Server connection.

To create an application server connection:

  1. From the File main menu, select New.
  2. In the General list, select Connections.
  3. Select Application Server Connection, and click OK.

    The Name and Type page appears.

  4. In the Connection Name field, enter a name for the connection.
  5. In the Connection Type list, select WebLogic 12.x to create a connection to Oracle WebLogic Server.
  6. Click Next.

    The Authentication page appears.

  7. In the Username field, enter the user authorized for access to the application server.
  8. In the Password field, enter the password for this user.
  9. Click Next.

    The Configuration page appears.

  10. In the Weblogic Hostname (Administration Server) field, enter the host on which the Oracle WebLogic Server is installed.
  11. In the Port and SSL Port fields, enter appropriate port values or accept the default values.
  12. If you want to use secure socket layer (SSL), select the Always use SSL check box. Table 48-3 describes what occurs when you select this check box.

    Table 48-3 Deployment to HTTPS and HTTP Servers

    If This Check Box Is... Then...

    Selected

    An HTTPS server URL must exist to deploy the composite with SSL. Otherwise, deployment fails.

    If the server has only an HTTP URL, deployment also fails. This option enables you to ensure that SSL deployment must not go through a non-SSL HTTP URL, and must only go through an HTTPS URL.

    Not selected

    An HTTP server URL must exist to deploy to a non-SSL environment. Otherwise, deployment fails.

    If the server has both HTTPS and HTTP URLs, deployment occurs through a non-SSL connection. This option enables you to force a non-SSL deployment from Oracle JDeveloper, even though the server is SSL-enabled.

  13. In the WebLogic Domain field, enter the Oracle SOA Suite domain. For additional details about specifying domains, click Help. Figure 48-5 provides details.

  14. Click Next.
  15. Click Test Connection to test your server connection.
  16. If the connection is successful, click Finish. Otherwise, click Back to make corrections in the previous dialogs. Even if the connection test is unsuccessful, a connection is created. Figure 48-6 provides details.
