This document describes Oracle WebLogic Server domains and how they are configured. A domain is the basic administration unit for Oracle WebLogic Server. A domain consists of one or more Oracle WebLogic Server instances (and their associated resources) that you manage with a single Administration Server.
The following sections describe the contents and organization of this guide—Understanding Domain Configuration for Oracle WebLogic Server.
This document is written mainly for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) system architects, application developers, and system administrators who are developing or deploying Web-based applications on one or more Oracle WebLogic Server domains.
The topics in this document are relevant during the design and development phases of a software project. This document does not address production phase administration, monitoring, or performance tuning topics. For links to Oracle WebLogic Server documentation and resources for these topics, see Related Documentation.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with Java EE, basic concepts of XML, and general networking and application management concepts.
This chapter, Chapter 1, "Introduction and Roadmap", introduces the purpose, organization, and context of this guide.
Chapter 2, "Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server Domains" introduces Oracle WebLogic Server domains.
Chapter 3, "Domain Configuration Files" describes the configuration and directories that maintain the on-disk representation of a domain and its contents.
Chapter 4, "Managing Configuration Changes" describes change management features in Oracle WebLogic Server.
For information about system administration tasks and the various tools you can use to perform them, see:
"Overview of Oracle WebLogic Server System Administration" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Introduction to Oracle WebLogic Server
Oracle Fusion Middleware SNMP Management Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server
For more detailed information about tools you can use to create and configure Oracle WebLogic Server domains, see:
Oracle Fusion Middleware Creating Domains Using the Configuration Wizard
Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing Custom Management Utilities With JMX for Oracle WebLogic Server
Oracle Fusion Middleware Command Reference for Oracle WebLogic Server
Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Help
In addition to this document, Oracle provides code samples that are relevant to domain configuration and administration.
The WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) examples show how to automate the creation of domains using WLST. See "WLST Sample Scripts" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool.
The Avitek Medical Records Sample Application is an Oracle WebLogic Server sample application suite that concisely demonstrates all aspects of the Java EE platform. To start this sample application, invoke the startWeblogic script in:
WL_HOME/samples/domains/medrec
where WL_HOME
is the directory in which you installed Oracle WebLogic Server.
