BPEL deployment plan in 10.1.3.4

Hello guys,
I've downloaded the MLR patch to upgrade to 10.1.3.4 and wondering where to find and how to use the BPEL deployment plan.
According to Robert Zimmerman's presentation titled Oracle BPEL Process Manager Update - April 22 (http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/soa/cab/oraclesoacab-webinar-04-22-08bpel_10_1_3_4_update.pdf), this release includes the new BPEL deployment plan, similar to the "old" ESB deployment plan.
Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards,
H

Hello Heidi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
That chapter is not quite what I was looking for, but nevertheless you pointed me to the right document. I was looking for chapter 3.10.10 "Automatically changing URLs and properties for Dev, Test and Prod.-environments".
Cheers,
Harm

Step by step Deployment Plan in BPEL

can any one tell step by step for BPEL Deployment Plan as I am a new bibe.I have followed the following link but unable to find the flow

Hi kevin,
Thanks for ur response as I am using Jdev and have build all those thing as per the url but after making the attachment of deployment plan with the jar file and deployed in the BPEL Enterprise Manager.I am not able to see the changes.So If you have an experience please give me a step by step procedure for deploying the development plan asap.

AIA FP 11.1.1.3 - Deployment Plan Generation for migrating from Dev to Test

Hi All,
Can you please validate the following from a Deployment from Dev to Test perspective. We have almost completed the development for an interface using AIA 11g, and are in the process of moving the interface from one instnace to another, and any help is highly appreciated.
Let us the take Purchase Order Integration between a legacy application and Oracle Purchasing, File Adapter-> Requester ABCS -> EBS -> Provider ABCS -> DB Adapter, which is a classical flow.
1. The Functional person defines a project in the Project Life Cycle Workbench
2. Functional decomposition done through Purchase Prder Business Task, and Service Solution components for each composite in the classical flow
3. The ABCSs are created by linking the corresponding Service Solution Components from the LCW using Service Contructor. These composite.xmls will have the annotation populated by the Service Constructor. It is okay for these composites to have concrete wsdls during development phase, but the concreate ones have to be replaced with abstract ones before geenrating deployment plans.
4. The EBS is not changed, it will have the annotations prepopulated, and there is no need to add any annoations to them
5. The File Adapter and DB Adapters (Transport Adapters?) have to be annotated based on the developer guide
6. The xsds and wsdl go into the mds based using the scripts provided. Any other common components can also be placed into MDS.
7. Once the development is done, Harvest the composites using the AIA Harvester.
8. After harvesting, from the AIA LCW, Generate the BOM. If we harvest all the 5 composites for the Business Task together, and do Generate BOM, does it capture all the composites? Or do they capture only the composites created using the Service Constructor? Or we have to add all the compistes manually to the Business Task?
9. Add Harvested Contents by Editing the BOM -> "Search and Add Existing Composite" option. We couldnt locate the "Add Harvested Composite" option while right clicking the Business Task.
10. Once all the harvested composites have been added to the BOM, export as XML
11. Using the BOM, generate the DeploymentPlan. The deployment plan will have references to the xsds and wsdls in the MDS
12. Using the Deployment Plan and AID, deploy the composites into a new instanec.
These are the questions I have,
1. Is the above understanding correct?
2. Since the MDS is in the Dev database, a pre-requisite for AID seems to be deployment of xsds and wsdls into the Test MDS schema. Can you please validate?
3. What happens to the bpels, xsls, mplans etc? How do they move from one instance to another?

Hi Anish,
Following are the responses -
These are the questions I have,
1. Is the above understanding correct?
1. The Functional person defines a project in the Project Life Cycle Workbench - Yes
2. Functional decomposition done through Purchase Prder Business Task, and Service Solution components for each composite in the classical flow - Yes
3. The ABCSs are created by linking the corresponding Service Solution Components from the PLWB using Service Contructor. These composite.xmls will have the annotation populated by the Service Constructor. It is okay for these composites to have concrete wsdls during development phase, but the concreate ones have to be replaced with abstract ones before geenrating deployment plans.-Yes but location attribute in binding.ws section of composite.xml should always have concrete WSDL location.Use <replaceToken> in DeploymentPlan to replace the ip and port.
4. The EBS is not changed, it will have the annotations prepopulated, and there is no need to add any annoations to them - Yes
5. The File Adapter and DB Adapters (Transport Adapters?) have to be annotated based on the developer guide-Yes
6. The xsds and wsdl go into the mds based using the scripts provided. Any other common components can also be placed into MDS.- Yes
7. Once the development is done, Harvest the composites using the AIA Harvester.-Yes
8. After harvesting, from the AIA PLWB, Generate the BOM. If we harvest all the 5 composites for the Business Task together, and do Generate BOM, does it capture all the composites? Or do they capture only the composites created using the Service Constructor? Or we have to add all the compistes manually to the Business Task?-The 5 composites created by you should have a corresponding service solution component defined.When you define a service solution component in PLWB then a GUID is generated in the database table.You need to retrieve that value and manually enter in the annotation section of composite.xml except for ABCS.Then only the BOM will contain information on all the composites.
9. Add Harvested Contents by Editing the BOM -> "Search and Add Existing Composite" option. We couldnt locate the "Add Harvested Composite" option while right clicking the Business Task.*-Once you harvest it will be visible.*
10. Once all the harvested composites have been added to the BOM, export as XML - Yes
11. Using the BOM, generate the DeploymentPlan. The deployment plan will have references to the xsds and wsdls in the MDS - Yes
12. Using the Deployment Plan and AID, deploy the composites into a new instance.-Yes
2. Since the MDS is in the Dev database, a pre-requisite for AID seems to be deployment of xsds and wsdls into the Test MDS schema. Can you please validate?
Yes the 'UpdateMetaData' section under 'Configurations' in the DeploymentPlan will upload XSDs, WSDLs, DVM,Xrefs into MDS.
3. What happens to the bpels, xsls, mplans etc? How do they move from one instance to another?
The 'Deployments' section will deploy the project into server and write the information into MDS.

How do I change the context-root of a web app with a deployment plan?

I've been trying to figure this out for several hours.
I'm deploying a .ear file which sets the context root for the single web application it deploys in its application.xml deployment descriptor:
<application>
<display-name>MyApp</display-name>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>MyAppViewControler.war</web-uri>
<context-root>MyApp</context-root>
</web>
</module>
</application>
I want to change the context-root from /MyApp to something else when deploying the ear file. It seemed to me that using a deployment plan was the way to do this. But when I use this plan:
<deployment-plan>
<application-name>MyApp<application-name>
<variable-definition>
<variable>
<name>NEWCONTEXTROOT</name>
<value>foobar</value>
</variable>
</variable-definition>
<module-override>
<module-name>MyApp</module-name>
<module-type>ear</module-type>
<module-descriptor external="false">
<root-element>application</root-element>
<uri>META-INF/application.xml</uri>
<variable-assignment>
<name>NEWCONTEXTROOT</name>
<xpath>/application/module/web/context-root</xpath>
</variable-assignment>
</module-descriptor>
</module-override>
</deployment-plan>
I get an error:
weblogic.descriptor.DescriptorException: VALIDATION PROBLEMS WERE FOUND
/bea/user_projects/domains/devod1/nullplan.xml:0: problem: cvc-complex-type.2.4a: Expected element 'web-uri@http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee' instead of 'context-root@http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee' here in element web@http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee:<nullplan.xml>
I looked at http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs103/pdf/deployment.pdf which says:
"You cannot use a deployment plan to change the context-root in an application.xml
file. However, if an application is deployed as a library, you can either change the
context-root through an weblogic-application.xml file or use the deployment plan
to change the context-root in an weblogic-application.xml file."
I don't understand what this means. I'm not deploying my application as a library.
Does anyone know how to change the context-root for an application?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi James,
I am quite new to Welogic if i am wrong please correct me.I have re-deployed my application (.war) with this Plan.xml

I do not know wether i will require the other module descriptor definition in this Plzn.xml. Now when I go to following link.
Deployments --> MyApp --> Testing
It gives me following url as a test page:
http://localhost:7001/BrowserWeb/servlet/BrowserServlet
as soon as i click on to the above link it redirects me to following.
http://localhost:7001/BrowserWeb/servlet/BrowserServlet/servlet/BrowserServlet
Same if i remove these context-root part my normal Testing menu shows me following link as my webapp access path
http://localhost:7001/BrowserWeb <-- My war file name is BrowserWeb.war so it is default name of my deployed application if i am not wrong
and as soon as i click on above link it redirects me to the following one.
http://localhost:7001/BrowserWeb/servlet/BrowserServlet
It means application server know that my full web access page is with '*servlet/BrowserServlet*' because its adding it in both the cases.
What I want is a constant URL whcih does not change?
Hope this helps :)

Replacing web.xml values with a deployment plan. Not working on WL 10.3.2

Hi All-
I am trying to replace a value from web.xml with one in a weblogic deployment plan. I deployed the application on WL 10.3.2 and used the deployment plan below. No matter what I do it doesn't seem to want to take the value.
web.xml:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

</context-param>
</web-app>

<xpath>/web-app/context-param/[param-name="TokenGroup"]/param-value</xpath>
<operation>replace</operation>
</variable-assignment>
</module-descriptor>
</module-override>
</deployment-plan>
I've also tried other formats for the xpath such as:
/web-app/context-param/{param-name="TokenGroup"}/param-value
/web-app/context-param[param-name="TokenGroup"]/param-value
Any ideas why this doesnt work?
Thanks,

It works for me... I think your "web.xml" is causing the issue.
Try replacing
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
Hope this helps.

How to create a deployment plan for an existing application?

Using WebLogic 10MP1.
I have an existing EAR deployment, and I want to create a deployment plan so I can make changes to it without changing the EAR file itself. My goal is to change the value of the "precompile" flag in all the web modules.
I've read the documentation on creating deployment plans, and it doesn't seem like it's doing anything. That is, I was able to run "weblogic.PlanGenerator" from the command line, but that's about my only success.
The doc says that if you make a change to the app config and save it, that will prompt for a place to save the deployment plan. This seems odd, as I'm pretty sure I've never seen a prompt like that before. It didn't happen for me. As a test, I tried changing the "Deployment Order" field. I activated it, and then I changed it back and activated that. No deployment plan prompt.
I then read that if there is a "plan" subdirectory off the application root containing the deployment plan, WebLogic will use that at deployment. So, I created a "plan" subdir in my EAR tree, put the generated (from "weblogic.PlanGenerator") plan there, and restarted. I didn't notice any log message about the plan, and when I logged into the console to check the "Deployment Plan" tab on the deployment ("Tuning Parameters" subtab), it says "No variables present".
I must be missing some simple detail.

In case anyone else ever has this problem, I've been able to resolve this.
I used "weblogic.planGenerator" on the command line to get a deployment plan to start with. The obstacle I had was actually finding the "Update" button. For some reason I had thought this button the docs refer to was on the "Deployment Plan" tab in the configuration of the deployment. It's actually on the list of the deployments, and is active when the deployment you want to configure is checked.
Once I got there, I was able to enter the path to my deployment plan, which I edited to produce the result I wanted (turning on "precompile" on most of the modules). Once I stored all that and restarted my server, I was able to verify that the server was precompiling on deployment (although it's hard to tell if I don't have any JSP compile errors. :) ).

Error when deploying EAR in OC4J 10.1.3.0.0 with a deployment plan

If you're using OC4J standalone, use the latest available OC4J, 10.1.3.3.
If you're using a manage OC4J, ie. Application Server, upgrade to the latest available version and upgrade your JDK. The provided JDK might be outdated.

How to map a resource-ref in Jdev11 deployment plan editor

Hi all,
I have a ADF/BC web application where the BC4J application module does connect to a JNDI data source.
The ViewController project does declare the Datasource as needed resource in its web.xml:
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/wlogDS</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
Now i need to map that resouurce-ref to an actual data source that exist in the application container at deploy time.
As already in JDev 10.1.3 the deployment-plan editor provided during deployment from JDeveloper does not provide any means to enter the deployment mapping for that resourc-ref (When clicking on the node (which is named resouce-ref - that becomes very confusing in case you have defined three resource-refs in your web.xml) the right pane shows a gray pane without any edit controls) So I cannot enter the resource-ref-mapping unsing the Jdev UI.
My workaround in 10.1.3 was to save the deployment plan to disk and manually edit it, adding
<resource-ref-mapping name="jdbc/wlogDS" location="jdbc/wlogTestEnvDS">
</resource-ref-mapping>
to the orion-web-app document for that webapp
But in Jdev 11 the deployment plan file format changed (including some binary inline checksums???)and when doing exactly the same thing, the loading of the manually edited file into Jdev Deployment plan editor fails with

So no chance here to add a resource-ref-mapping. The alternative way of specifying a resource-ref-mapping using the web-based deployment proces of the Enterprise manager is impossible because the 11g preview OC4j does not include an enterprise manger web-application.
So how do I deploy the application correctly other that manually modifying the deployed orion-web-app.xml file in j2ee/home/application-deployments/earName/warName/orion-web-app.xml after deploying the app without a resource-ref-mapping? Because doing that step manually each time is quite annoying.
Greetings,
Thomas

Seems i'm slowly answering my own questions :-) I finally got my RMI service, even using several methods. But ...
It doesnt help me as the lookups are not done on the context classloader it seems. That means i need to add all my service jars to the global class path causing massive sealing issues with the war contained jars. Pretty useless. All the needed stubs etc are in the war.
But as it seems that the web app needs to contain deployment site info (sun-web.xml) anyway, i could just as easy read my own web xml from the context and resolve the services myself. But i do wonder how this is supposed to work with EJB and CORBA stuff. The samples actually also needed to add stuff to the global class path.
I'm probably not the easiest customer as i write this kind of middle ware for a living but i really like sjsws. It makes my own one partly obsolete as it is almost as fast and has all the fancy deployment stuff (in my case i use an in-house mobile agent frame work and agents that travel the various networks ) and infinitely easier to learn to work with and understand In case anyone is wondering i wrote Uhura because 1. i needed speed so it is a servlet based webserver and not a web server with a servlet module. 2. could not wait on ibm to fix bugs in webspere and we only used the servlet bit. 2. i needed full J2EE security and 3. i needed it to run on many OS'es
That is why i still need the same war files to be able to be deployed in both systems as i still need my systems going on IBM iservers etc.
Again i would welcome some feed back on such and related issues
Cheers,
Peter

Can a Deployment Plan Modify Values in a .properties file?

I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 and Weblogic 10.3
I am currently in the process of creating a plan.xml file for our application, but we have a few properties files that contain configuration information. This information needs to change depending on the environment that we are deploying to. Is it possible to do this through a plan.xml or would we have to use some other method?
Example:
File: conf.properties
------start file-----
A=1
B=2
C=3
-----end file-----
We would need to be able to change the value of B to be 5 instead of 2 if we are deploying to our test environment.

As far as I can tell, what you linked is just using the deployment plan's XPath to update a value in the web.xml which is standard procedure. However, I am curious of being able to update values in a .properties file which is not an XML file, and thus can't be read by XPath. Is this possible or can the deployment plans only modify XML documents?
[EDIT] From what I've been finding it seems I've confirmed that it can only override XML files, or atleast I've found no indications that it can do anything other than XML files. Though now I'm having issues of it overriding custom XML files. EG: I have a wf_client_config.xml file in the WAR's class path that I need to update depending on the environment, but have not been able to have the deployments recognize the override that I have listed in the plan.xml.
So I guess now my question is, do I ened to do anything special to get it to recognize an XML file on the class path vs a standard xml file such as web.xml? Or should I make this a new topic?
Edited by: mBaldwin on Jan 8, 2013 11:45 AM
[EDIT 2] Marking this as resolved, it appears as though the plan.xml will only modify settings that could be modified by Weblogic naturally and it is not able to modify items that are on the classpath of the application.

Cluster environment with Deployment Plan losing variable values

Hi all,
Our environment uses Weblogic Server 10.2, with 2 Managed Servers in Cluster, in Feisty Fawn Ubuntu.
Our app has a bunch of variables configured in the web.xml with custom values, most of which are endpoint and JDBC related. Our web.xml has some default values in these variables, and we created a Deployment Plan to change these values in deployment-time.
The problem is that, after a random amount of time, the cluster is "losing" these configurations. At first, everything goes fine, but then, we start receiving errors because the endpoint being used is not the Deployment Plan's anymore, but the one from web.xml. It's completely random, and come and go without notice.
Is there a known bug about this? Is this a configuration issue?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Francisco

Are you redeploying the applications at all?

Errors when Automatically Deploying Planning into WebLogic 9.1

Dears,
I have installed Planning 9.3.1 on the Solaris OS.(SPARC 64-bit)
But when I want to deploy Planning into WebLogic 9.1 automatically. It has failed to deploy application "HyperionPlanning".
Please let me know if anyone has some ideas.
Thanks for your help.
Sophia

Hi,
Is planning supported on 64bit SPARC ?
You may have to manually deploy planning into weblogic.
Sorry I can't help further.
Cheers

When I was publish my project i have a below error
An exception occurred when deploying the database for the application. An error occurred during deployment plan generation. Deployment cannot continue.

Bpel deployment fails for all processes that have revision other than 1.0.

Using: Release *10.1.3.3.1*
Hello All,
Bpel deployment fails for all processes that have revision other than *1.0*.
We have been attempting to deploy several BPEL projects via ANT script to a target environment and are encountering failures to deploy for every project which isn’t a (revision 1.0). We are getting the following error whenever we try to deploy a process with a revision other than 1.0:
D:\TJ_AutoDeploy\BPEL_AutoDeploy_BETA\build.xml:65: BPEL archive doesnt exist in directory "{0}"

The structure of our automated deployment script is as follows:
First, a batch script calls (Jdeveloper_BPEL_Prompt.bat) in order to set all necessary environment variables i.e. ORACLE_HOME, BPEL_HOME, ANT_HOME, etc for ant.
Next, the script lists every .jar file within the directory to an .ini file called BPEL_List.ini. Furthermore, BPEL_DIR, ADMIN_USER and ADMIN_PSWD variables are set and initialized respectively to:
- “.” – point to directory where script is running from because all the BPEL processes are located here
- “oc4jadmin”
- “*********” (whatever the password for out environment is)
We’ve developed a method to have the script prompt the user to select the target environment to deploy to. Once the user selects the appropriate environment, the script goes through the BPEL_List.ini files and a loop tells it that for every BPEL process listed:
DO ant
-Dprocess.name=%%b
-Drev= !Rev!
-Dpath=%BPEL_DIR%
-Ddomain=default
-Dadmin.user=%ADMIN_USER%
-Dadmin.password=%ADMIN_PWD%
-Dhttp.hostname=%HOST%
-Dhttp.port=%PORT%
-Dverbose=true
(What’s happening is that the variables in the batch file are being passed on to the ANT script where *%%b* is the process name, !rev! is revision #, and so on…)
The loop goes through each line in the BPEL_List.ini and tokenizes the BPEL process into 3 parts *(%%a, %%b, and %%c)* but we only extract 2 parts: *%%b* (process name) and *%%c* which becomes !Rev! (revision number).
Example:
Sample BPEL process:
bpel_ThisIsProcess1_1.0.jar
bpel_ThisIsProcess2_SOAv2.19.0.001B.jar
After tokenizing:
%%a %%b %%c
bpel ThisIsProcess1 1.0.jar
bpel ThisIsProcess2 SOAv2.19.0.001B.jar
*!Rev!* and not *%%c* because *%%c* will return whatever the revision number is + the “.jar” file extension as illustrated above. So to circumvent this, we parse *%%c* so that the last 4 characters are stripped. Such is done like this:
set RevN=%%c
set RevN=!RevN:~0,-4!
Hence, the usage of !Rev!.
Below is a screenshot post of the ANT build.xml that goes with our script:


<project name="bpel.deploy" default="deployProcess" basedir=".">
 
 <property name="process.dir" value="${basedir}" />
 
 
 <property environment="env"/>
 
 <condition property="bpel.home" value="${env.BPEL_HOME}">

</project>
SUMMARY OF ISSUE AT HAND:
~ Every bpel process w/ 1.0 revision deploys with no problems
~ At first I would get an invalid character error most likely due to the “!” preceding “Rev”, but then I decided to set rev=”false” in the build.xml file. That didn’t work quite well. In another attempt, I decided to leave the –Drev= attribute within the batch script blank. That still led to 1.0s going through. My next thought was deploying something other than a 1.0, such as 1.2 or 2.0 and that’s when I realized that if it wasn’t a 1.0, it refused to go through.
QUESTIONS:
1. IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE ANT LOOK INTO THE BPEL PROCESS AND PULL THE REVISION ID?
2. WHAT ARE WE DOING WRONG? ARE WE MISSING ANYTHING?
3. DID WE GO TOO FAR? MEANING, IS THERE A MUCH EASIER WAY WE OVERLOOKED/FORGOT/OR DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT EXISTS?

Only thing i can think of is instead of using a MAC ACL , u cud jus use the default class
Policy Map Test
class class-default
police 56000 8000 exceed-action drop
Class Map match-any class-default (id 0)
Match any
You would be saving a MAC-ACL ;-).

Using deployment plan to change virtual directory mapping

Hi all,
Have anyone tried this before?
I have a deployment plan to add virtual directory to my weblogic descriptors as follow:
Inside <variable-definitions> tag:
<variable>
 <name>LocalPath</name>
 <value>C:/</value>
 </variable>
 <variable>
 <name>VirtualPath</name>
 <value>/Temp/*</value>
 </variable> Then in to add the virtual directory to weblogic.xml:
<module-descriptor external="false">
 <root-element>weblogic-web-app</root-element>
 <uri>WEB-INF/weblogic.xml</uri>
 <variable-assignment>
 <name>LocalPath</name>
 <xpath>/weblogic-web-app/virtual-directory-mapping/local-path</xpath>
 </variable-assignment>
 <variable-assignment>
 <name>VirtualPath</name>
 <xpath>/weblogic-web-app/virtual-directory-mapping/url-pattern</xpath>
 <operation>add</operation>
 </variable-assignment>
 </module-descriptor>But I have this error:
Error VALIDATION PROBLEMS WERE FOUND C:\Users\Napoleon\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.2.36.55.36\DefaultDomain\servers\DefaultServer\upload\ReviewApp\app\planplan.xml:0: problem: cvc-complex-type.2.4c: Expected element 'url-pattern@http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app' before the end of the content in element virtual-directory-mapping@http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app:<C:\Users\Napoleon\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.2.36.55.36\DefaultDomain\servers\DefaultServer\upload\ReviewApp\app\planplan.xml>
I also tried using the xpath for url-pattern as followed:
<xpath>/weblogic-web-app/virtual-directory-mapping/[local-path="C:/"]/url-pattern</xpath>
But I have the same error. The <url-patter> element is not added correctly to the virtual directory mapping tag.
It is supposed to work. Anyone has done this before ? or is this a bug of deployment plan.
Thank you very much.
Regards
K.

Hi Jay,
I have looked at your link and modified my plan.xml accordingly ( the original plan is automatically generated by weblogic ). But I still get the same error. Could you have a look and tell me what's wrong?

Weblogic deployment plan will not override variables (Weblogic 10.3.5).

I am having some trouble trying to adjust the deployment settings of our application in weblogic. I feel what I'm trying to do ought to be quite simple, but it's not working as expected.
I am just trying to override the context-root in weblogic.xml and the JNDI name for the data source, so these can both be configured at deployment time.
I have removed the application.xml from the ear file, so that shouldn't be affecting the overrides.
What I have so far:
weblogic.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

Nothing happens when I use the deployment plan, and neither of the variables appear under the Deployment Plan configuration screens in the admin console. From what I understand, I should at least be asked for these variables, since I have specified that they are null in the deployment plan.
When I use WLST to browse the tree, I find that the runtime configuration just stays as the values in the deployment descriptors.
I have verified the deployment plan is being used in the general tab of the admin console.
Can anyone help me find out what I am doing wrong here? If I don't create a data source called LogicalDS, I get errors about this, suggesting it is not correctly overriding. I am puzzled to why I do not see any variables to specify though..

The documentation implies that this is not the case - see:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/web.1211/e24443/export.htm#autoId13
'Assigning Null Variables to Require Administrator Input'.
However, require administrator input where? My thoughts were that this option would appear in the admin console under 'deployment plan'. However, although I have specified resource dependencies in the deployment descriptors, and the plan, nothing appears under 'resource dependencies' for the application.
Is the only way to change the context-root deployment URL by actually manually editing an XML file?
To me that seems primitive and will cause us support issues when distributing our application - is there any other way I can enable the ability to specify the data source name and context-root through the web console prior to/during deployment?
