Hot deployment in 8.1 beta

Hi,
If i want my modified ejb/servlet classes to be automatically detected by the
server while it is still running, what is the method to do it?..
I have tried touching the REDEPLOY file and also undeploy/deploy strategies...but
doing so is causing the server to throw exceptions and also the changes are not
being reflected.
I am using weblogic 8.1 beta version on windows2000 and in the development mode.
please help,
seshu

Seshu:
I would suggest upgrading to 8.1 GA.
I would also suggest you check out split-dir and ant for deploy and
redeploy, vs. the applications directory.
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/programming/packaging.html#1097040
Servlet classes are auto detected and reloaded without requiring a redpeloy
as their hierachy is flat. EJB's require a redeploy.

Turn off the hot deployment

Is it possible to turn off the hot deployment feature for a better performance?
Probably the cost of the hot deployment is negligible...

Put your phone to silent mode or by the volume key decrease it to the least possible

Hi Hamsa,
Did you also create and configure an "Execution Destination"?
You can test the Metadata destination configuration on Web Service Navigator.
On the web service navigator (http://hostname:portnumber/wsnavigator) search in the metatda destination you have created for the service you imported in web dynpro as a model. If you can find it there test it on the ws navigator.
Best regards,
Yasar

Hot deployment in weblogic

Hi
I have some questions related to hot deployment.
1. Is Hot Deployment similar to auto-deploy option in development mode?
2. Using Auto-deploy is it possible to get the application deployed on managed server
( I found that it gets deployed on Admin server and it is not recommended to deploy on Managed.. but is there any way to deploy on managed server)
3. my application (ear) has dependencies... those are deployed as library.. is it possible to deploy library using auto-deploy
Thanks

1. no - hot deployment, deploy, redeploy, or undeploy an application while the server is running without affecting other applications or requiring a server restart
2. no - the admin server has a feature known as auto-deployment that is enabled when you create a domain using development mode. With this feature, the server watches the autodeploy directory for changes and automatically deploys new or changed applications that it finds there.
3. why would you want that - just deploy the libraries and refer to those libraries in your deployment overrides.
Better way to auto-deploy is using the wldeploy Ant task. (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/programming/wldeploy.html)

Hot deployment of class files (non-EJB)

Also posting to the servlet newsgroup.
"Craig Ambrose" <[email protected]> wrote in message

I am using WebLogic 6.1 and am interested in using auto-deployment indevelopment
mode of JSPs and class files that those JSPs rely on. I have a simpleWebLogic
application that gets deployed using the exploded directory format andwhen I
modify the JSPs or the class files that they use everything reloadsproperly and
a newly modified class file will be reloaded the next time the pageutilizing
the Java class is requested.
I have a much more complicated application (the one I am really doing workon)
and I can't get the hot deploy of the class files to take effect. The JSPswill
reload but I can't seem to cause the class loader to reload any changedclass
files. If I use the WebLogic Console and un-deploy and then re-deploy theapplication
then the class files will be reloaded, but I thought that wasn't necessaryfor
hot deployment. This complex application stores many things in the HTTPsession
context. I am wondering if that has an effect on the class loader fordependant
class files.
I'm pretty sure it is not a configuration issue as I have it working forthe simple
application. I have the application deployed under the.\config\<domainname>\applications
directory and am using the exploded directory format with the class filesalso
exploded in the WEB-INF\classes directory.
Any insights on dependancies of the hot depployment would be helpful.

Hot deployment of servlet

hi
i have compiled the servlet in jdeveloper and set the path to oc4j../../web-inf/classes path;after compiling the class Is it neccassary to shutdown the oc4j container;
after shutdown the container only i am seeing the effect;without shutdown the container can we see the effect;we can do it Tomcat ;Is there any facility in OC4J ;
bye
chaitanya

          Hi, suppose you have the servlet called JoeServlet and registered as joeservlet with an argument, say, a file joe.txt. If you want to 'hot' deploy the JoeServlet you should make sure that a) the servlet's name must be unique b) the servlet's class must be in your servlet classpath (see the properties sheet aside) c) the initial argument, say: joeargument=./joe.txt, must match the the name expected by your servlet (eg. getInitParameter("joeargument")). If you have done correctly WLS must work.

Hot deployment of Plugin on OIM cluster

Does someone know , how to deploy(re-register) the plugin(event Handler ,schedule Task etc.) on OIM cluster in real time.
I have observed that when i do re-register the plugin(after any code changes etc.) from one of the nodes of the cluster, the new code does not get reflected on all the nodes.
It works from one or two nodes but not from all nodes.
Even after doing Purge Cache from all nodes the behavior remains the same.(Restart of OIM will do the trick, but i need hot deployment)
Any ideas?
Thanks
Akshat

That's what I have observed that even though the documentation says that PurgeCache.sh will do the trick but it never works. You have to restart the OIM Servers.

Servlet hot deployment with a webApp

Hi everybody,
Does anybody know something about hot deployment of servlets in a web
application (.war) ?
I tried many things (setting reloadCheckSecs in properties, in web.xml,
hot-deploy from console...) but nothing really worked.
So I have to register a servlet for hot deployment in the properties, but
then it doesn't belong to the application.
Thanx,
Markus.

I presume you are on 51.
we do not support hot deployment of webapps in 51. We support this in 6.0

Are u saying that WARs are redeployed automatically but not individual servlets,
or neither?
Thanks.

Hot deployment while running...

Hi there!
Does any body have experience HotDeployment while end user are using the application?
For my self I got a real problem with HttpSession. After hot deployment all
sessions are invalidate!! I mean "request.getSession(false)" return false. I
have already carefully read documentation and pointed out that object store in
session must be serializable. OK it's done. Now what else should I check?
Thanks!

redeploying will invalidate a servlet session. this is not a bug, but rather the intended
behavior.
if all you want to do is update content (jsp's, html, gif, jpeg, etc) you can use the
refresh tool.
it is a light-weight operation, instead of the heavyweight redeploy.
to use it, please run the command:
java weblogic.management.tools.WebAppComponentRefreshTool
(this tool is compatible with 6.0 and 6.1)

Hot deployment

Hi,
I have a gateway which instantiates and runs applications. Each application implements an interface so the gateways only sees the class at type (interface).
I have a huge problem in that we have a number of developers working on these applications. There are constantly bug fixes, new functionality etc. that must be added.
How can I hot deploy these classes? I cannot restart the entire gateway every time I upload a class. This affects all the other applications.
I have looked at dynamic class loading but this is going to take some serious time to create a custom class loader that will actually destroy old class loaders when creating new ones.
Is there a simpler way to enable my gateway for hot deployment?
thanks!

Creating a new classLoader does not take a lot, and you can tell it NOT to cache the class.
Also, you can simply destroy all current references to a class when running, replace the class file, and then allow code to call the class object again - thus reading the new class file.
It's not typically a good idea to deploy-in-production any code.

Hot Deploying Servlets from the command line

Is it possible to hot deploy a servlet from the command line?

Use the mbocutil command line tool located in:
server root/bin/msg/admin/bin
You can create a folder with spaces by using quotes like thus:
./mboxutil -c "user/Tuser/Test Folder"

Having issues hot deploying with ebcc in Solaris environment.

I keep getting an error message when hot deploying a new webapp portal using ebcc.
The error message reads" Unable to add module. appname to application descriptor for portal app. I check the portalapptools and i see the webapp in the portal management.. I also see that it added this to the database under the Portal table.. It never actually added the webapplication under in the console.. This is where it gets stuck... Basicly the steps that are missing are adding a deployment descriptor and then the webapp.. I manually did it and it works.. the problem after that is that i need to execute sync.sh after i bounce the manage server or else i dont see the webapps under portal management..
So basicly the 2 questions are:
1..Why doesnt hot deploying work in unix using X11?
2.. Why do i need to execute sync.sh everytime after every bounce?
Thanks,
Oscar

Oscar,
Are you running the EBCC on the same machine as your server? The hot
deploy mechanism of the EBCC forces you to have the server and the EBCC
on the same machine. While the files are sync'd to the database, the
web app files never get transfered. The deployer then is syncing to
nothing.
Try running it all on one machine, locally or with a remote display.
Depending on your window manager some Java Swing applications like the
EBCC do not always display fonts well remotely but it should still work.

Hot deploy in weblogic 10.0 not working

Hi,
I am trying to do hot deploy in an exploded war deployment. If I deploy the same exploded war in weblogic 9.2, I can update the class files without restarting the sever. However, in weblogic 10.0 system throws “java.lang.ClassCastException: com.xxx.xxx.xxxxx” when it tries to reload the app after the old class file has been updated with a new one. If the server is restarted then the new class file is picked without any errors. Are there different settings in weblogic 10.0 to enable hot deploy? Please let me know.
Thanks a lot.

Please don't cross-post.
