Weblogic 10.3 | Individual WAR update on EAR

Hi All,
We have an EAR deployed in Weblogic 10.3 which contains 4 WARs .
Whenever we need to update a WAR in the EAR we are updating the whole EAR with the new WAR included and updating the EAR thru WL console.
Is there any way to update individual WARs thru console without affecting the working state of other WARs inside the EAR ?.
Thanks in advance,
Appasamy

Hi Appasamy,
Weblogic provides Partial Deployment feature which u can use ....

How do I convert an war file to ear file, deploying weblogic apps

Problem Description: I have a war file from a legacy application that needs to be migrated to weblogic. To migrate this application to weblogic, we need a ear file. Reading weblogic doc. it says we needs to use ant utility on an exploded web content application folder/ directory to create the ear file. I need to covert the existing war file to ear file , if it is doable or create one from the scratch. I need to know how to do that in weblogic. Please let me know if you have any hints .
Thanks

HI,
Please try the following to convert your WAR file into an EAR exploded archieve:
*1).* Create a Directory in your file system.
Example:
/home/apps/MyFirstEAR
*2).* Place the WAR file inside the above Directory. (Suppose your WAR file name is test.war)
Example:
/home/apps/MyFirstEAR/test.war
*3).* Now create a "META-INF" directory inside "/home/apps/MyFirstEAR" directory
*4).* Now create an "application.xml" file like following inside "/home/apps/MyFirstEAR/META-INF" directory:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.4">
<description>Test EAR Example</description>
<display-name>TestEAR Example</display-name>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>test.war</web-uri>
<context-root>test</context-root>
</web>
</module>
</application>
*5).* Your EAR is ready now you can deploy the "MyFirstEAR" directory in the WebLogic Server.
NOTE: if you want to place the "test.war" file also as an exploaded format content inside the EAR then you need to extract the test.war file and then in place of the test.war you can have "test" directory at the same place.
You need to change the "application.xml" file like below in that case:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.4">
<description>Test EAR Example</description>
<display-name>TestEAR Example</display-name>
<module>
<web>
<font color=red> <web-uri>test</web-uri> </font><br>
<context-root>test</context-root>
</web>
</module>
</application>

Updating an EAR in WebLogic 10

Hi -
I found a bug in my application (EAR file) after I deployed it using the WebLogic console. However, I noticed that there were multiple locations within the WebLogic directory where files resembling this application existed (e.g., tmp directories, the upload directory, etc). I tried to remove the contents of all but the upload directory and copied the newly built (and fixed) EAR file into the upload directory but that change did not go into effect when I restarted Weblogic.
Can anyone point me to the steps I need in order to update the EAR file, especially if it was deployed ad an exploded EAR application folder?
Thanks in advance!

First of all EAR build with 11.1.1.4.0 need WLS 10.3.4. You can't deploy them to 10.3.3 without running into problems (which you already have).
I'm not sure if you see the problems because of the WLS mismatch, but you have to solve this first. Either deploy to WLS 10.3.4 or use JDev 11.1.1.3.0 to build your app.
If the problem remains come back here.

WAR vs. EAR

We are converting our Web services to a new architecture that uses Spring & WebLogic 10. Our architects tell us we will no longer use EJBs. So, this raises the interesting question: Can we now use the simpler WAR format instead of EARs?
I must have read over 20 different Google hits on WAR's vs. EAR's, & have yet to find coherent explanation of what features FORCE one to use an EAR instead of a WAR. If we don't use EJB's, what else would force use to use the EAR format? If we have to include third party libraries (parsers, etc.), would THAT force use to use an EAR?
I've been working in Java for 7 years, but have to admit I still don't have a clear understanding of EARs. I understand they're just compresed archive in ZIP format, but can't get my head around when you HAVE to use them.

In my view, if I have the choice; I will prefer most flexible approach unless it does not affect system performance or any critical requirement severely.
Since, you are using weblogic and dont think that using EAR will degrade system performance, would recommend you to use EAR.
As you pointed out about third party library, similarly EAR gives you the flexibility to share your own custom java project as library instead of putting as a jar in each WAR file.
Another flexibility of EAR as you might be aware that grouping the application logically.
May be you want to think in reverse direction that what else benefit you will get of using WAR. Only static bundling format? Any runtime benefit?

Deploying multiple wars within an ear (including web services) - pls advise

**Apologies - this post also appears in the standard Java forums, before I realised there was a separate Enterprise forum!**
Hello all
I am working on an application that receives XML messages from sending systems, processes them and forwards them to receiving systems. There is a set of rules concerning who can send what to who. The entry and exit points to the application are web services.
I would be very grateful for some general advice on best practice for packaging this application. I have done a lot of browsing and read some articles, but I understand the whole picture has changed recently with the growing popularity of web services and that many of the articles I have read are probably out of date.
The whole thing could be packaged into a single war, but it would be ideal to treat the different components separately as in the future they may be modified and deployed separately. I therefore envisaged having 3 wars in an ear as follows: -
a. A set of incoming web services to receive messages from the sending system. This is like a hook into b (below). The sending systems will be clients to these web services.
b. A web application that takes the messages from a and processes, authenticates and transforms them.
c. A set of outgoing web services that sends the message on to the receiving system. These will be like facades to the receiving systems and b will be a client to them.
The whole thing would then work in reverse to process the response.
A few questions: -
1. I know I haven't given much info here, but does this seem like a reasonable basic packaging strategy? Any other suggestions?
2. Is it good practise to package multiple wars together into an ear? If anyone could send me an example ant script that does this, I would be so grateful.
3. Wars a and c above will both need to have full visibility and access to b, which is the "brains" of the whole thing. How is this best achieved when packaging?
4. If you could point me in the direction of a best practice guide, examples or tutorials, I would be very grateful.
Many thanks for taking the time to read my post - and for any replies.
Kind regards
Jon

That is a viable method to package your application, pending the architecture of your application supports this.
Each WAR file will be packaged as a seperate web application and all web applications on that web server will be able to communicate with each other over sockets by having the URL of the web component that you wish to communicate with. This interface needs to be there mind you.
EAR files are generally deployed to an application server so if you happen to have an application server like Weblogic or Websphere then this would be an ideal setting for hosting your application. Packaging in an EAR file and also hosting on an application server gives you the benefit of using J2EE constructs, like EJB's to provide an alternative means of communication between different web components.
Packaging seperate wars into an ear file really wouldn't work out too well with just a standard servlet container like Tomcat.

I am trying to update my ipad, so I went into settings, general and looked for soft ware update and it is not there. So where should I go to update my ipad?

you only update over the air (on your ipad directly) if you have iOS 5 or later, and your profile says you've got 4.3.5
you need to update by plugging your ipad into your computer that has itunes on it

Unable to start the Weblogic 8.1 SP4 after updating the license

Hi All,
I am not able to start the Weblogic domain after updating the license using java -Xmx command. Actually i have three license files. 1)license.bea 2)license_isv.bea 3) license_scale_limited.bea. The file license_isv.bea is containing unlimited units. Actually we want 100 concurrent users to connect to weblogic. For that i updated the license. After updating the license i am getting the following error.

Initially i thought that it will be the CLASSPATH variable problem that is defined in startWeblogic.sh script. But we have around 8 domains. I am not able to start any of these domains. Even i tried to create a new domain also. Still i am getting the same error. Can anyone help me in this.
Thanks,

Just did firm ware update on time capsule an now my airport express not connected do to air port utilities doesn't support base station ??

just did firm ware update on time capsule an now my airport express not connected do to air port utilities doesn't support base station ?

mickair wrote:
I have been experiencing some networking problems
Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
I have the latest Time Capsule ("TC"), an old Airport Extreme Base Station ("AEBS") bought in 2007 and 2 Airport Expresses, one bought in 3 months ago ("AE-Alpha") and the other bought back in 2007 ("AE-Beta"). All of them have been updated with the latest firmware.
Based on those dates, the AirPort Extreme is probably flat (as opposed to dome-shaped), making it 802.11n-capable. The Newer AirPort Express is probably an 802.11n-capable model A1264, while the older one is probably a model A1084 or A1088.
I use {the TC's} DHCP function ... to avoid unauthorized use.
This a discussion for another thread, but that's not what DHCP is for.
The wireless setting for it is to participate as WDS Main, but after reading various posts, it seems WDS is a bad idea
With that older AirPort Express you're stuck with WDS unless you decide to replace it with a newer model.
The AEBS is currently setup as being a WDS Relay at the moment
Why a relay? That's only needed if there's another base station "beyond" it that is configured to depend on it.
Since the AEBS is connected to the TC via Ethernet, you should probably configure it as a "roaming network":
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2273124
{The AE-Alpha} connects fine as WDS remote at the moment
I don't have any experience with mixed WDS and non-WDS networks, but since it's 802.11n-capable, you may be able to configure it to "extend" the network of the TC rather than as WDS. Look for a setting on the TC to "Allow this network to be extended".
Physical location:
AEBS in one end, TC and AE-Alpha in the middle while AE-Beta on the other end.
A device such as "AE-Beta" that's supposed to extend a network shouldn't be "at the end" but should be half way between the central base station and the clients that need an extended network.

Difference between .war file and .ear file

Hi,
what is the difference between .war file and .ear file ?
Please let me know with appropriate explanation.

War file means web application archive. It is archived file having a collection of JSP, servlets and static pages that together costitute a web application. It contains one WEB-INF directory which will have a file named web.xml which defines the structure of the web application.
On the other side EAR file is Enterprise application archive. It is file having packaged content of one or more modules into a single archive so that the deployment of all the modules can be done simultaneously on the application server. It also contains XML files called deployment descriptors which gives the details of the deployment method. This deployment descriptor will be present in the folder META-INF folder.
So the main difference betwwen the two is that Ear file is having collection of various modules to be deployed on the application server while the WAR file is used to deploy the web applications.

Firm ware update for E system computer

Hey,
I have the same 2131 error message that lots of people seem to get.
my drive is TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H
so seems exactly the same as everyone
Does anyone know where i can get a firm ware update from?
Thanks in advance

Hi drjamit
Firstly with that much data and many applications, do you backup phone data to memory card or do you use PC Suite as well?
PC Suite 6.83 rel_14.1 which is the latest does seem to have caused a number of connectivity problems for users, and in some respects 6.82 rel_22.0 seems more reliable.
My N70 uses 5.0638 and to date Vodaphone have not authorized release of 5.07, but if you have a stable phone working with your designated applications to your satisfaction I would not be in too much of a hurry to update!
The Nokia Software Updater is not infallible and it is a risk one takes albeit small when updating the phone yourself

Porting *.war files and *.ear files to Weblogic 10.3

If we can figure this issue out, I'll see if I can't publish/post a
maven-based solution in the Maven and Oracle forums so that others
will not have to go through our pain.
We are having all the usual problems regarding where Weblogic expects
to find things and what exclusions need to be made in weblogic.xml for
war files and weblogic-application.xml for ear files. Any insights
would be deeply appreciated.
Here is what our exploded war structure currently looks like.
|____index.jsp
|____WEB-INF
| |____lib
| | |____...a long list of jar files
| |____tags
| | |____...a short list of tag files
| |____applicationContext.xml
| |____web.xml
| |____content
| | |____...a bunch of jsps
| |____tlds
| | |____...some tlds
| |____classes
| | |____mailProperties.properties
| | |____struts.xml
| | |____logback.xml
| | |____com ... the root of our class heiarchy
|____images
| |____...a list of images
|____META-INF
| |____maven
| | |____com
| | | |____project-name
| | | | |____pom.xml
| | | | |____pom.properties
| |____MANIFEST.MF
|____script
| |____...some java script files
|____style
| |____...some css files
Exceptions when trying to deploy are as follows:
INFO: ... initialized Struts-Spring integration successfully
java.lang.Exception: Could not load
servers/AdminServer/tmp//appmergegen_1254502686535_OurApp/war/WEB-INF/classes/com...
at com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.finder.ClassFinder.readClassDef(ClassFinder.java:745)
at com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.finder.ClassFinder.<init>(ClassFinder.java:148)
The exception above repeats for every .class file found below
WEB-INF/classes/com, i.e. the the ones in this module rather than the
ones in included modules.
Checking the file system shows that there is no such directory as
"appmergegen_1254502686535_conap". I'm uncertain if there is actually
supposed to be anything there, but it would seem like it.
I've a theory that if we can solve the above issue, we can solve the
rest ourselves.
It would also be handy to know what packages may cause conflicts.

Alright, my research points to the idea that this might have something to do with staging. Since this is a dev setup we don't have any managed servers or anything. All we have is AdminServer and that is it. We have only one domain and it is "base_domain". Does anyone know if this is wrong?

Dynamic Update of .war files or .ear files

Hello,
I don't see this ability in the current servlet spec. I was wondering if someone has come up with a way to implement the following idea.
I'd like to dynamically update, add, and remove files from a .war file that is running in X servlet engine/application server. An example is adding new HTML files on the fly, or new Style Sheets. The files that I'm trying to add are not class files or any executable files.
If you have any thoughts on how to do this or have done this, please let me know.
Thanks for you help,
d.bretenfeld

It depends on what webserver you're using, and how you configure it.
With Tomcat 4.0, each .war file on startup is extracted to it's own directory and from there any modifications have to be done with the actual files. the .war file is no longer used except as a backup.
Now, with something like JBoss + Tomcat, the .war file is hot deployed anytime a new .war file is copied into the deploy folder. Personally I love this feature, as it forces you to actually "deploy" an application with updates all at once. And actually, you can get around this and modify individual files, but I wouldn't recomend it.
So, as is the answer with so much of Java and J2EE, it all depends on your setup and configuration! =)
I'd be happy to help you out more if you need anything else!

Error 160078 when deploying WAR file after EAR file

I am tetsing an application which does automatic deployment to WebLogic 8.1 running on Windows XP using ejbgen tool through Ant.
The following deployment sequence produces an error. I deploy an EAR file with EJB JAR and WAR file inside. It deploys correctly. I then undeploy the EAR file. This also works. Next I deploy a WAR file using the same deployment name as for the EAR file (the 'name' parameter of weblogic.Deployer command). This deployment fails. If I restart WebLogic server, the same deployment of the WAR file succeeds.
Any idea what goes wrong?
Thank you.

Class not found in web-inf/classes folder of war file within ear file

Hi all,
          I am using Weblogic 8.1 sp4. I have a war file within an ear file. I am trying to deploy the war file with a few classes within its web-inf/classes folder, however when the classes are in that folder I consistently get a class not found exception when trying to instantiate them. If I package the classes in a jar file and then put that jar file within the web-inf/lib folder of the war, the classes are also not found.
          If I put these two classes in the app-inf/classes folder of the ear file, everything works as expected and the classes are found.
          Any ideas of why this is happening. This seems to be a very simple thing that should work, but appears to not be working at all.
          thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas.

Hi,
          This is a known limitation/issue with WL. There is also no way around this.
          Regards,

Problem can be easily reproduced by a minimal case:
test.ear:
\lib\test-extension-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
test-ejb-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
where
test-extension-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar contains:
CdiExtension.java:
package test.extension;
import javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Extension;
public class CdiExtension implements Extension {
    private String someString = "Some String";
    public String getSomeString() {
        return someString;
Bean1.java:
package test.extension;
import javax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import javax.inject.Inject;
@ApplicationScoped
public class Bean1 {
    @Inject
    private CdiExtension extension;
    public String get() {
        return extension.getSomeString();
test-ejb-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar contains:
EjbBean.java:
package test;
import test.extension.Bean1;
import test.extension.CdiExtension;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.inject.Inject;
@Stateless
public class EjbBean {
    @Inject
    private CdiExtension extension;
    @Inject
    private Bean1 bean1;
    public String getSomeString() {
        return extension.getSomeString() + "\n" + bean1.get();
p.s. i seen same problem in community.oracle.com/thread/2577403 , but it happen in "war", not "ear", and seems successfully patched with patch №17424706
