JSP Quick Start
To quickly deploy a simple JSP:
- Make sure your JSP file does not reference a tag library or other
external resources -- such resources require additional steps to
deploy that are beyond the scope of this quick start guide.
- Start the
default Administration WebLogic Server. Windows NT users can use the
Start Menu shortcut labeled "Start Default Admin Server".
- Copy your JSP file into the
config/mydomain/applications/
DefaultWebApp_myserver
directory of your WebLogic Server installation.
(Where mydomain is the name you specified as the WebLogic Admin Domain Name during installation and myserver is the Server Name you specified during installation.)
You can use one of the JSP files in the examples provided with the
WebLogic Server distribution. If you have installed the examples, you
can try the following file, located in your WebLogic Server
distribution:
samples/examples/jsp/HelloWorld.jsp
- Use a web browser to request the JSP file using the following URL:
http://localhost:7001/myJSPfile.jsp
where:
localhost is the host name of
the machine running WebLogic Server
port is the port number
where WebLogic Server is listening for requests.
myJSPfile.jsp is the JSP
file you copied in step # 3
What's going on?
- The directory into which you copied your JSP file is the root
directory of a default Web Application that is created for you by
WebLogic Server. A Web Application is a J2EE deployment unit that ties
together resources of a web-based application. The root directory of a
Web Application is analogous to the document root of many Web
servers.
You can deploy JSP files by simply copying them into the root
directory of a deployed Web Application. JSPs do not require specific
registrations, as do servlets.

HTML Quick Start
To quickly deploy an HTML page:
- Start the
default Administration WebLogic Server. Windows NT users can use the
Start Menu shortcut labeled "Start Default Admin Server".
- Copy your HTML file into the
config/mydomain/applications/
DefaultWebApp_myserver
directory of your WebLogic Server installation.
(Where mydomain is the name you specified as the WebLogic Admin Domain Name during installation and myserver is the Server Name you specified during installation.)
- If you have any image files or other files linked to your HTML
page, also copy those into the DefaultWebApp_myserver directory. If necessary,
you can create subdirectories to handle relative links, such as image
files.
- Use a web browser to request the HTML file using the following URL:
http://localhost:7001/myFile.html
where:
localhost is the host name of
the machine running WebLogic Server
port is the port number
where WebLogic Server is listening for requests.
myFile.html is the HTML
file you copied in step # 2
What's going on?
- The directory into which you copied your HTML file is the
root directory of a default Web Application that is created for you by
WebLogic Server. A Web Application is a J2EE deployment unit that ties
together resources of a web-based application. The root directory of a
Web Application is analagous to the document root of many Web
servers.

Servlet Quick Start
To quickly deploy a servlet:
- Create a subdirectory called classes under the following directory in your WebLogic
Server installation:
config/mydomain/applications/
DefaultWebApp_myserver/
WEB-INF/
- Copy your servlet class file into the following directory:
config/mydomain/applications/
DefaultWebApp_myserver/
WEB-INF/classes.
(Where mydomain is
the name you specified as the WebLogic Admin Domain Name during
installation and myserver is the Server Name you specified during
installation.)
If your servlet class has a package statement, you must create an
additional subdirectory for each level of the package statement. For
example, if your package statement is:
Package color.blue, then place your servlet class in
the following directory:
config/mydomain/applications/
DefaultWebApp_myserver/
WEB-INF/classes/color/blue.
If you do not have a servlet class to use for this quick start, and
you have installed the WebLogic Server examples, you can use one of
the servlets in the examples provided with the WebLogic Server
distribution, located in the following directory of your WebLogic Server
installation:
config/examples/applications/
examplesWebApp/WEB-INF/classes/ examples/servlets/
HelloWorldServlet.class.
- Modify the web.xml file
located in the config/mydomain/applications/
DefaultWebApp_myserver/
WEB-INF/
directory of your WebLogic Server installation by adding the
following, in between the <web-app> and </web-app> tags:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
myServlet
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
package.name.myServlet
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>
myServlet
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
quickStartServlet
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
where:
myServlet is the
name of your servlet class file and
package.name.myServlet is the full package name of your
servlet class.
- Save the web.xml file.
- Start the
default Administration WebLogic Server. Windows NT users can use the
Start Menu shortcut labeled "Start Default Admin Server".
- Call your servlet from a Web browser with the following URL:
http://localhost:7001/quickStartServlet
where:
localhost is the host name of
the machine running WebLogic Server
port is the port number
where WebLogic Server is listening for requests.
quickStartServlet is the
value of the <url-pattern> element that you defined in the web.xml file in step # 3.
What's Going On?
- The web.xml file that you
edited is the deployment descriptor for a Web Application called DefaultWebApp_myserver. A Web Application is a
J2EE deployment unit that ties together resources of a web-based
application. The DefaultWebApp_myserver
Web Application is created by default when WebLogic Server starts up,
if no other Web Applications have been defined.
In the deployment descriptor you defined the class name of the
servlet (the <servlet-class> element) and the URL that is used
to resolve requests for the servlet (the <url-pattern> element).
