Hi Komi
Basically you deploy your Servlet as a WAR File. I am not familiar with IntellJ IDE. But it should have a provision to export/create a WAR file that has your Servlet. Also I hope you already have web.xml file with 2 sections like this: First you mention full package of your servlet and give it a name. Then enter a mapping url. You will use this url to run your servlet like http://weblogichost:weblogicport/yourWebappcontextroot/myservlet
<servlet>
     <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>com.abd.def.MyServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>/myservlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Coming to deployment, I hope you already created a Weblogic Domain and have admin username/password. Start your domain. Login into weblogic console like http://host:port/console and use admin username/password. Then from Deployments section, deploy the above WAR file. In Weblogic you can deploy JAR (EJBs, java files), WAR (web jsp, html, webservices, servlets) or EAR (JAR + WAR). In your case its just a WAR file.
Refer the online docs for more details on Deployments in Weblogic.
