Multiple weblogic.properties files?

Hi all,
We're in the stage now where I need to "quickly" switch between different
versions of our app running on WLS 5.1.
Can I pass the path to the weblogic.properties file to the java command in
startWebLogic, or is it based solely on the weblogic.home property?
If it is based on the weblogic.home property, what else depends on that
property. Ideally, I'd like to not to have to duplicate the weblogic tree.
Thanx!

You can specify server name in the command line (startWebLogic.cmd foo)
and add -Dweblogic.server.name=%1 to the list of java arguments. When
weblogic starts it will read wl_home/weblogic.properties first and
wl_home/foo/weblogic.properties second.
(with clustering enabled it reads weblogic.properties from wl_home
first, wl_home/cluster_name second and wl_home/cluster_name/server_name
third).

Multiple weblogic.properties

Under the myserver directory there's a weblogic.properties file that controls the deployment of the beans and servlets. Does any one know if it is possible to have multiple weblogic.properties files (named differently) under the myserver dir. and how to set them up?

Rick,
Are you asking the right question? WebLogic finds a weblogic.properties
file in the "root" directory, the "server/cluster" directory and the
instance directory (only really applies to a cluster in which each
instance has its own directory under the server/cluster directory.
These files are more significant the deeper they go; meaning the same
property found in the top level file is changed if set again in a lower
level file.
You may want to have different properties files that, upon startup, are
copied to the proper location/name by a script, thus being able to
change configurations at startup.

Commas in the weblogic.properties file

I hate to ask this question because I'm sure the answer is a)obvious, and
b)well-known, but I'm playing in the slow group today.
How does one include a comma in a property value in the weblogic.properties
file. Specfically, I'm trying to set weblogic.system.startupArgs as follows
weblogic.system.startupArgs.xxxx=sql=select sysdate from dual where
mod(to_number(to_char(sysdate, 'MI')), 2) = 0
The value assigned to the "sql" arg is truncated at the first comma and a
second argument "'MI'))" is created. Very irritating. Any ideas on how to
prevent this from happening?
Ignore the details of the sql statement, its just for testing.

Thanks for the reply, but that didn't seem to work. Escaping the commas
with back-slash delivered the same result.
It seems that since the value for the weblogic.system.startupArgs.xxxx
property can itself be a set of multiple properties, the normal parsing
rules don't apply when the "inner" set of properties is parsed. For
example, if weblogic.properties has
weblogic.system.startupArgs.xxxx=aaaa=X\,Y
then it appears that "startupArgs.xxx" is being assgined "aaaa=X,Y".
However, when the startup class gets the arguments, whatever routine is
parsing the value of "startupArgs.xxx" is seeing the comma and deciding that
there are two properties, not one. So the startup method of my startup
class gets 2 arguments: "aaaa=X" and "Y=".
I tried all the old Korn shell tricks I could remember like aaaa=X\\\,Y.
But all I got was "aaaa=X\" and "Y=".
Any other thoughts or am I trying something I wasn't supposed to do?

Issue in reading multiple time properties file

Use Case:
I have a page in which i have to show some Outage Messages on page. So I have configured outage message in properties files. This message should me rendered each time when it finds that properties file in class path or it finds the values w.r.t their keys.
So what I decide that I shall write java method and call this method on Loading the page but here what happen is that whenever that page is load each time that reader file will call , that will create memory leak .
So, anyone help me on this. What will be the best approach for that reading multiple times properties file?
I will be grateful for any help you can provide
Thanks

Hi,
have a bean at applicationScope, somewhat like this
import java.util.HashMap;
public class ApplnProperties {
    private HashMap _propMap;
    public HashMap getPropMap() {
        if(_propMap == null){
            //read the properties file and populate _propMap
        return _propMap;
}here we put condition _propMap == null so it would be called only once during application lifecycle.
and on page you can refer the prop map like following
#{beanName.propMap['KEY1']}Regards,

Where is the weblogic.properties file in weblogic6.1?

I could only find this file in directory: ..\wlserver6.1\samples\examples\tutorials\migration\banking
why i cannot find it in wlserver6.1 directory? Is there any other properties file
whose function is the same as this one so that i can change setting?
Thanks in advance,
moonriver

The weblogic.properties file is only used for weblogic 5.x, it is no longer used
in 6.x anymore. Instead, a config.xml file is used as similar purpose.

@WEBLOGIC in properties file

Hi,
What am I supposed to replace this. My weblogic is installed
on drive E: on NT.
E:\weblogic
However, when I didn't replace, and tried to access the cloudscape
DB, I noticed that a directory @WEBLOGIC was created in
E:\weblogic !
Should I just replace @WEBLOGIC in the weblogic.properties file
with empty string?
Thanks,
Andy

I don't believe that feature is available until 6.1.

Weblogic 6.0 install on unix:: conversion of properties file.

I followed the instructions to convert my weblogic properties file from a WL5.1
install. Copied the *.war file from the default domain into the new domain and
tried to start the application server with the script for the domain. It asks
for a boot password which I am assuming should be the same one that I set during
the weblogic install. When I enter the password, it refuses to boot the application
server complaining about the password. Yet when I try to start the default server,
it boots up
fine with the same password. Now my question is, it the password
the same or not? If not then what is the boot password for the
new domain and where is it set?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks,

Multiple WebLogic server configurations

I am using WebLogic server in a non-clustured environment. Is there anyway
to:
a) start up the WebLogic server so it listens on multiple ports where each
port corresponds to a specific configuration; or,
b) start up multiple WebLogic servers each listening a unique port.
Essentially, I would like to have multiple configurations (myserver,
myserver2, myserver3, etc.). Is this possible and if so where is the best
place to look in the documentation to do this.
Thanks.
Steven R. Baturin

Sure, it's very easy. Just clone your Myserver directory and modify the
weblogic.properties file in each directory to have the port you want. So
you would end up with a /weblogic/myserver and a /weblogic/myserver2, each
one has a weblogic.properties file with two different ports configured.
Then you start Weblogic with the -D<name> command line option that tells it
what instance to load. Read the docs for details.

Can I reference 2 different SSL certificates in the same weblogic.properties

Hello,
Can I reference 2 different SSL certificates in the same
weblogic.properties
file?
Reason is we have 2 groups of users for a web application: one will use
a
French-language DNS to access
the application, and the other will use English DNS. Both DNS will point
to
the same application on the same
server.
Example of what we require:
weblogic.security.certificate.server=mycert1.pem
weblogic.security.key.server=mykey1.der
weblogic.security.certificate.authority=rootCertificate1.pem
----and---
weblogic.security.certificate.server=mycert2.der
weblogic.security.key.server=mykey2.der
weblogic.security.certificate.authority=rootCertificate2.pem
mycert1 will correspond to DNS1, and mcert2 will correspond to DNS2, and
both
DNS1 and DNS2 point to the same application on the same box.
Thanks,
Ragu

I think that you can only have one server certificate per server currently
since the certificate establishes the server's identity and there isn't
support for a server to have two identities at the same time.

JSP Subclassing in weblogic.properties

Hi,
          I'd like to have my JSP classfiles subclass one of our servlet classes,
          rather than the default. I'm able to do this at the command-line, by using a
          command like:
          java weblogic.jspc -keepgenerated -d /home/gkushida/weblogic/jsp -package
          com.kiko.jsp -superclass com.kiko.servlet.CustomJSP test.jsp
          This works fine, but I have two additional questions:
          1. I noticed that I have to provide an abstract _jspService() method in my
          CustomJSP servlet class, and then call it from within my doGet/doPost
          service methods manually. Is this the right thing to do?
          2. I'd like to do this automatically in my weblogic.properties file, where
          the JSPServlet is registered for *.jsp. I can't find any reference to a
          'superclass' initArg for the JSPServlet - is this functionality only
          available from the command-line compiler?
          We are running WebLogic 5.1.0, Service Pack 6 on Sun Solaris 2.7, JDK 1.3.

Convert weblogic.properties

All,
I'm trying to convert an existing 5.1 installation to 6.0 and am having a bit of difficulty with creating a new config.xml based on an existing weblogic.properties. Has anyone gone through this process yet? The documentation seems vague and incomplete (references things like "<insert-ref>").
Also, the conversion html page/applets also seem very confusing. They present 2 list boxes that were created from your existing weblogic.properties file. These list boxes are labeled "server weblogic.properies" and "cluster weblogic.properies". Instead of containing discernable properties, they contain lists of directories. Selecting any of these directories will generally cause a conversion failure. Is this thing just not there yet, and should I be building up my own weblogic.properties/config.xml from scratch?
I'd be interested in anyone else's experiences with these issues. TIA.

Debug weblogic.properties conversion error

All,
I'm attempting to use the web console application/Convert weblogic.properties link to perform a propterties file conversion.
I'm getting a conversion error when converting our current weblogic.properties file. This properties file is working fine in WL5.1. The web console begins the conversion process ok, but it fails before completion (html err msg below).
I'm trying to determine the cause of this error, but there's very little output reported to the console, except a couple of warnings. Also, I don't see any log files.
I do get what looks like some partial conversion results in my new domain directory in fileRealm.properties. There are recognizable properties from the converted weblogic.properties file in here.
Has anyone encountered/surmounted similiar difficulty? Any debugging tips would be appreciated. TIA.
JohnH
p.s. The output/error message on the html page looks like:

It is not a "Buggers".
WLAS registered her own properties internally. "weblogic.password" is
regiserted as a hashtable with username as "key", and password as "value".
So does connection pool. "getProperty()" will give your the String
representation of the hashtable.

Setup weblogic.properties

Reading through the docs on cluster setup brings up a simple
          question....
          In the docs it suggests putting system password/identity info, and
          servlet registration in the system/global level weblogic properties
          file...and setup for EJBs, JDBC connection pools in the per-cluster
          setup file... my question is, why not put servlets registrations in the
          per-cluster weblogic.properties file? Seems to me that really
          everything should be in the cluster property file, almost or entirely
          nothing in the system lever weblogic.properties.
          Thanks,
          -Brian


Brian,
          I think it depends on your particular configuration. If your configuration
          is such that each cluster is serving up a different set of functionality,
          then your suggestion makes sense (though you might want all clusters to
          have the same "system password"). If not, then putting things in the
          "system-level" properties file might make more sense.
          Just my two cents,
          Robert
