When you're ready to deploy your application ear file to the stand-alone WLS, follow these steps to make sure everything runs smoothly.

1. Check to make sure the shared libraries are deployed using the weblogic console of your stand-alone WLS.

   1. Launch WLS console http://host:port/console/login/LoginForm.jsp and log in.

   2. Click 'Deployments' and see if 'oracle.rules' and 'oracle.soa.rules_dict_dc.webapp' shared libraries are deployed as shown in Figure 26-11.

2. If the shared libraries are not deployed, then follow the previous process to deploy the shared libraries manually.

3. In your project that uses the Rule Dictionary Editor Component, include the "Oracle Rules Dictionary Component" in your 'Libraries and Classpath'. This does not deploy these libraries by default, so the jars are not included in your project war file.

4. In the project that is finally deploying (i.e where you create the ear file):

   1. Add this to your weblogic-application.xml:

      <library-ref>
          <library-name>oracle.rules</library-name>
      </library-ref>
      

   2. Add this to weblogic.xml in your project's war file:

      <library-ref>
          <library-name>oracle.soa.rules_dict_dc.webapp</library-name>
      </library-ref>
      

5. Now you can deploy your ear file in WLS and things should work.
