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.

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).

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?

NT startup parmaters for multiple weblogic servers started as a service

I have the need to start multiple weblogic servers, using NT services.
I have created a second folder with a properties file listening on another
port.
I am using the following startup parameter
-J-Dweblogic.system.name=Test
My question, this works when I type the startup parameter, is their anyway
to have this automatically entered
on server startup.
Is their a registry setting to make this permanent
Thanks

The answer is...
- Use a product to turn applications into an NT Service (e.g.
ServiceMill)
- Directly run the Weblogic Server Java class via that application
--> As many WLs on one machine as you like.
Send mail if you need specific details.
Best regards

Conversation: NT startup parmaters for multiple weblogic servers started
as a service
Subject: Re: NT startup parmaters for multiple weblogic servers started
as a service
I wish that was the case.
The problem is, while you enter the startup parameter once, it only
is good for that startup of the weblogic server,
The next time the server reboots and the services start, unless you
re-enter the startup parameter -J-Dweblogic.system.name=Foldername
The weblogic server starts using the wrong properties file.
Is their anyway using NT services to have the correct instance of WL
to start everytime.
I have checked this newsgroup and this question has been posted
before, but so far no one seems to have the answer.
I know in a production eniviorment someone must be running more that
one instance of a WL server as a service, Hopefully their is an
answer on how this is done.
Thank you

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.

How to update weblogic.properties in order to support English & Chinese

<URGENT PROBLEM>
hi,
how to update weblogic.properties in order to support English & Chinese
version in a sing weblogic server?
Thanks in advance
<URGENT PROBLEM>

If you are using JSP as your mechanism for content display, you should use
the contentType parameter to specify the character and coding of the JSP
page any character encoding of the resulting stream. So far, we have not
done a good job of documenting how to produce localized content in JSP. I
have filed an issue for the documentation folks to work on it. For now,
take a look at section 2.7.4 of the JSP specification version 1.1.

How Can I Use Multiple Weblogic Instances in a Single OS

Hello Everyone,
Actually I have to install Some different applications. Few of them need weblogic 10.3.6 and others need 10.3.4. The OS am using is Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.
Now I am able to install 2 separate(One of 10.3.4 and 10.3.6) instances with two different users,In two different directories.
I have installed the weblogic 10.3.6 version with a user webadmin and installed node manager with port 5556. This is working fine.
The main problem here is :
In the second instance (10.3.4 ) installed with a a different user and gave the port number to NodeManager as 1600 and its not getting started. Its throwing error and also after some errors in the terminal am able to see that its reverting to port number 5556 only.
What might be the issue?
I have to install 2 different versions of weblogic in a single Server. But am failing with NodeManager. What Can I do to have multiple weblogic instances with multiple versions in a single server ?
Can anyone suggest a resolution for this please ?
Thanks in advance.

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,

Multiple binary properties in a asset

Hi,
I have created an asset type in BEA content repository which as multiple
binary properties, how can I use bulkloader to load data into this
asset?(see example below)
I am using BEA WLP 8.1 SP4 on Windows and PB as DB
Asset Type: myArticle
Asset Properties:
1. id (string, single unrestricted)
2. absbody(binary)
3. detbody(binary, isPrimary set true)
I have content for this as
id:100
abs100.txt (contains absbody data)
det100.txt (contains detbody data)
I want to load this data into a single myArticle type content with id as
100.
I am able to load either absbody or detbody but not both. Please let me know
if there is a way to do this.
I have similar requirements for myImage asset type , where it has more than
one binary properties(smallImage, largeImage, thumbImage). We need to load
them under one myImage type content, as functionally they represent one
image with different sizes.
Thanks in advance
UDay

Hi
I have the same problem as yours. I want to bulkload a custom type with two binary properties (one small thumbnail and one big image)
In the bulkloader doc, I found this :
"You can load only one binary property per node, and it must be defined as the primary property"
I would like to know if there is a tip to do it nevertheless, pehaps bulkloading twice to update the second image ?

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.

Servlet configuration in Weblogic 5.1.. web.xml vs weblogic.properties..

Can someone please tell me how the <servlet> entry differs from
          weblogic.httpd.register.snoop=examples.servlets.SnoopServlet
          in weblogic properties?
          Do these perform identical functions?


Yes this is the source of my confusiong. It seems to be that WL can be told
          about servlets
          two ways. Firstly through the web.xml file and also via weblogic.properties.
          I don't understand
          why the second one exists.

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.

Add weblogic.properties to the weblogic.

hi people
          how do i can to tell to the weblogic to start with another
          weblogic.properties when he starts,
          that is, to start with the weblogic.properties and other property into
          another directory ?
          any help will be appreciated


You can set the system property weblogic.system.name:
          java ... -Dweblogic.system.name=foo ... weblogic.Server,
          and create directory 'foo' and put server-specific weblogic.properties
          there.
