WebLogic Server Command Reference

Using the WebLogic Server Java Utilities

WebLogic Server provides a number of Java utilities and Ant tasks for performing administrative and programming tasks.

To use these utilities and tasks, you must set your CLASSPATH correctly. For more information, see Modifying the Classpath.

WebLogic Server provides several Java programs that simplify installation and configuration tasks, provide services, and offer convenient shortcuts. The Java utilities provided with WebLogic Server are all described below. The command-line syntax is specified for all utilities and, for some, examples are provided.

WebLogic Server also provides a number of Ant tasks that automate common application server programming tasks. The Apache Web site provides other useful Ant tasks as well, including tasks for packaging EAR, WAR, and JAR files. For more information, see http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/manual/.

appc

The appc compiler generates and compiles the classes needed to deploy EJBs and JSPs to WebLogic Server. It also validates the deployment descriptors for compliance with the current specifications at both the individual module level and the application level. See appc Reference in Programming WebLogic Server Enterprise JavaBeans.

AppletArchiver

The AppletArchiver utility runs an applet in a separate frame, keeps a record of all of the downloaded classes and resources used by the applet, and packages these into either a .jar file or a .cab file. (The cabarc utility is available from Microsoft.)

Syntax

$ java utils.applet.archiver.AppletArchiver URL filename

Table 3-1 AppletArchiver Arguments
Argument	Definition
`URL`	URL for the applet.
`filename`	Local filename that is the destination for the `.jar/.cab` archive.

autotype (deprecated)

Use the autotype Ant task to generate non-built-in data type components, such as the serialization class, for Web Services. The fully qualified name for the autotype Ant task is weblogic.ant.taskdefs.webservices.javaschema.JavaSchema.

Web Services are now a Java EE standard, which has resulted in many changes between 8.1 and 9.0 WebLogic Web Services. For information about what has changed between 8.1 and 9.0 Web Services, and what has been deprecated, see “ Differences Between 8.1 and 9.0 WebLogic Web Services” in Programming Web Services for WebLogic Server.

For a complete list of Web Services Ant tasks, see “Ant Task Reference” in WebLogic Web Services: Reference.

BuildXMLGen

Use BuildXMLGen to generate a build.xml file for enterprise applications in the split-directory structure. For complete documentation of this utility, see “Building Applications in a Split Development Directory” in Developing Applications with WebLogic Server.

CertGen

The CertGen utility generates certificates that should only be used for demonstration or testing purposes, not in a production environment.

Syntax

$ java utils.CertGen

  -certfile <cert_file> -keyfile <private_key_file>
  -keyfilepass <private_key_password>
  [-cacert <ca_cert_file>][-cakey <ca_key_file>]
  [-cakeypass <ca_key_password>]
  [-selfsigned][-strength <key_strength>]
  [-e <email_address>][-cn <common_name>]
  [-ou <org_unit>][-o <organization>]
  [-l <locality>][-s <state>][-c <country_code>]
  [-keyusage [digitalSignature,nonRepudiation,keyEncipherment,
       dataEncipherment,keyAgreement,keyCertSign,
       cRLSign,encipherOnly,decipherOnly]]
  [-keyusagecritical true|false]
  [-subjectkeyid <subject_key_identifier>]
  [-subjectkeyidformat UTF-8|BASE64]
  [-help]

Table 3-2 CertGen Arguments
Argument	Definition
`-certfile` `cert_file-keyfile` `private_key_file`	Respectively, the output file names without extensions for the generated public certificate and private key. The appropriate extensions are appended when the `pem` and `der` files are created.
`-keyfilepass` `private_key_password`	The password for the generated private key.
`-cacert` `ca_cert_file -cakey` `ca_key_file -cakeypass` `ca_key_password`	Respectively, the public certificate, private key file, and private key password of the CA that will be used as the issuer of the generated certificate. If one or more of these options are not specified, the relevant demonstration CA files will be used: `CertGenCA.der` and `CertGenCAKey.der`. The `CertGen` utility first looks in the current working directory, then in the `WL_HOME/lib` directory.
`-selfsigned`	Generates a self-signed certificate that can be used as a trusted CA certificate. If this argument is specified, the `ca_cert_filename`, `ca_key_filename`, and `ca_key_password` arguments should not be specified.
`-strength` `key_strength`	The length (in bits) of the keys to be generated. The longer the key, the more difficult it is for someone to break the encryption.
`-e` `email_address`	The email address associated with the generated certificate.
`-cn` `common_name`	The name associated with the generated certificate.
`-ou` `org_unit`	The name of the organizational unit associated with the generated certificate.
`-o` `organization`	The name of the organization associated with the generated certificate.
`-l` `locality`	The name of a city or town.
`-s` `state`	The name of the state or province in which the organizational unit (ou) operates if your organization is in the United States or Canada, respectively. Do not abbreviate.
`-c` `country_code`	Two-letter ISO code for your country. The code for the United States is US.
`-keyusage` `[digitalSignature, nonRepudiation,keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment,keyAgreement, keyCertSign,cRLSign, encipherOnly,decipherOnly]`	Generate certificate with a keyusage extension, and with bits set according to the comma-separated list of bit names. Specify a key usage when you want to restrict the operation for a key that could be used for more than one operation.
`-keyusagecritical true\|false`	By default, a keyusage extension is marked critical. To generate a certificate with a non-critical extension, use `-keyusagecritical false`.
`-subjectkeyid` `subject_key_identifier`	Generates a certificate with the specified subject key identifier.
`-subjectkeyidformat UTF-8\|BASE64`	The format of the `subjectkeyid` value; UTF-8 is the default.

Example

By default, the CertGen utility looks for the CertGenCA.der and CertGenCAKey.der files in the current directory, or in the WL_HOME directory, as specified in the weblogic.home system property or the CLASSPATH. Alternatively, you can specify CA files on the command line.

Enter the following command to generate certificate files named testcert with private key files named testkey:

$ java utils.CertGen -keyfilepass mykeypass 
-certfile testcert -keyfile testkey

Generating a certificate with common name return and key strength 1024
issued by CA with certificate from CertGenCA.der file and key from CertGenCAKey.der file

ClientDeployer

You use weblogic.ClientDeployer to extract the client-side JAR file from a Java EE EAR file, creating a deployable JAR file. The weblogic.ClientDeployer class is executed on the Java command line with the following syntax:

java weblogic.ClientDeployer ear-file client

The ear-file argument is an expanded directory (or Java archive file with a .ear extension) that contains one or more client application JAR files.

For example:

   java weblogic.ClientDeployer app.ear myclient

where app.ear is the EAR file that contains a Java EE client packaged in myclient.jar.

Once the client-side JAR file is extracted from the EAR file, use the weblogic.j2eeclient.Main utility to bootstrap the client-side application and point it to a WebLogic Server instance as follows:

   java weblogic.j2eeclient.Main clientjar URL [application args]

For example:

   java weblogic.j2eeclient.Main helloWorld.jar t3://localhost:7001 Greetings

clientgen

Use clientgen to generate the client-side artifacts, such as the JAX-RPC stubs, needed to invoke a Web Service. See “Ant Task Reference” in WebLogic Web Services: Reference.

Conversion (deprecated)

WebLogic Server 9.0 does not support conversion or upgrading from a pre-6.0 version of WebLogic Server. To upgrade from version 6.1 or later, see Upgrading WebLogic Application Environments.

dbping

The dbping command-line utility tests the connection between a DBMS and your client machine via a JDBC driver. You must complete the installation of the driver before attempting to use this utility. For more information on how to install a driver, see the documentation from your driver vendor. Also see “ Using Third-Party Drivers with WebLogic Server” in Programming WebLogic JDBC.

Creating a DB2 Package with dbping

With the WebLogic Type 4 JDBC Driver for DB2, you can also use the dbping utility to create a package on the DB2 server. When you ping the database with the dbping utility, the driver automatically creates the default package on the database server if it does not already exist. If the default package already exists on the database server, the dbping utility uses the existing package.

The default DB2 package includes 200 dynamic sections. You can specify a different number of dynamic sections to create in the DB2 package with the -d option. The -d option also sets CreateDefaultPackage=true and ReplacePackage=true on the connection used in the connection test, which forces the DB2 driver to replace the DB2 package on the DB2 server. (See DB2 Connection Properties for more information.) You can use the -d option with dynamic sections set at 200 to forcibly recreate a default package on the DB2 server.

Notes: When you specify the -d option, the dbping utility recreates the default package and uses the value you specify for the number of dynamic sections. It does not modify the existing package.

Note:

To create a DB2 package, the user that you specify must have CREATE PACKAGE privileges on the database.

Syntax

$ java utils.dbping DBMS [-d dynamicSections] user password DB

Table 3-3 dbping Arguments
Argument	Definition
`DBMS`	Varies by DBMS and JDBC driver: `DB2B`—WebLogic Type 4 JDBC Driver for DB2 `JCONN2`—Sybase JConnect 5.5 (JDBC 2.0) driver `JCONN3`—Sybase JConnect 6.0 (JDBC 2.0) driver `JCONNECT`—Sybase JConnect driver `INFORMIXB`—WebLogic Type 4 JDBC Driver for Informix `MSSQLSERVER4`—WebLogic jDriver for Microsoft SQL Server `MSSQLSERVERB`—WebLogic Type 4 JDBC Driver for Microsoft SQL Server `MYSQL`— MySQL’s Type 4 Driver `ORACLE`—WebLogic jDriver for Oracle `ORACLEB`—WebLogic Type 4 JDBC Driver for Oracle `ORACLE_THIN`—Oracle Thin Driver `POINTBASE`—PointBase Universal Driver `SYBASEB`—WebLogic Type 4 JDBC Driver for Sybase
`[-d` `dynamicSections]`	Specifies the number of dynamic sections to create in the DB2 package. This option is for use with the WebLogic Type 4 JDBC Driver for DB2 only. If the `-d` option is specified, the driver automatically sets CreateDefaultPackage=true and ReplacePackage=true on the connection and creates a DB2 package with the number of dynamic sections specified.
`user`	Valid database username for login. Use the same values you use with `isql`, `sqlplus`, or other SQL command-line tools. For DB2 with the `-d` option, the user must have CREATE PACKAGE privileges on the database.
`password`	Valid database password for the user. Use the same values you use with `isql` or `sqlplus`.
`DB`	Name and location of the database. Use the following format, depending on which JDBC driver you use: `DB2B`—Host:Port/DBName `JCONN2`—Host:Port/DBName `JCONN3`—Host:Port/DBName `JCONNECT`—Host:Port/DBName `INFORMIXB`—Host:Port/DBName/InformixServer `MSSQLSERVER4`—Host:Port/DBName or [DBName@]Host[:Port] `MSSQLSERVERB`—Host:Port/DBName `MYSQL`—Host:Port/DBName `ORACLE`—DBName (as listed in tnsnames.ora) `ORACLEB`—Host:Port/DBName `ORACLE_THIN`—Host:Port/DBName `POINTBASE`—Host[:Port]/DBName `SYBASEB`—Host:Port/DBName Where: `Host` is the name of the machine hosting the DBMS. `Port` is port on the database host where the DBMS is listening for connections. `DBName` is the name of a database on the DBMS. `InformixServer` is an Informix-specific environment variable that identifies the Informix DBMS server.

Example

C:\>java utils.dbping ORACLE_THIN scott tiger dbserver1:1561:demo


**** Success!!! ****

You can connect to the database in your app using:

java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();

  props.put("user", "scott");

  props.put("password", "tiger");

  props.put("dll", "ocijdbc9");

  props.put("protocol", "thin");

  java.sql.Driver d =

    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();

  java.sql.Connection conn =

    Driver.connect("jdbc:oracle:thin:@dbserver1:1561:demo", props);

ddcreate

This Ant task calls EARInit, which generates an application.xml and a weblogic-application.xml file for an EAR. For more information, see EarInit.

DDInit

DDInit is a utility for generating deployment descriptors for applications to be deployed on WebLogic Server. Target a module’s archive or folder and DDInit uses information from the module’s class files to create appropriate deployment descriptor files.

In its command-line version, DDInit writes new files that overwrite existing descriptor files. If META-INF or WEB-INF does not exist, DDInit creates it.

Specify the type of Java EE deployable unit (either Web Application or Enteprise Application) for which you want deployment descriptors generated by using the DDInit command specific to the type, as described below.

WebInit

Target a WAR file or a folder containing files that you intend to archive as a WAR file, and WebInit will create web.xml and weblogic.xml files for the module.

   prompt> java weblogic.marathon.ddinit.WebInit <module>

EarInit

Generate an application.xml and a weblogic-application.xml file for an EAR using this command. Target an existing EAR or a folder containing JAR or WAR files you intend to archive into an EAR file.

   prompt> java weblogic.marathon.ddinit.EarInit <module>

Deployer

Using the weblogic.Deployer tool, you can deploy Java EE applications and components to WebLogic Servers in a command-line or scripting environment. For detailed information on using this tool, see “ weblogic.Deployer Command-Line Reference” in Deploying Applications to WebLogic Server

The weblogic.Deployer utility replaces the weblogic.deploy utility, which has been deprecated.

der2pem

The der2pem utility converts an X509 certificate from DER format to PEM format. The .pem file is written in the same directory and has the same filename as the source .der file.

Syntax

$ java utils.der2pem derFile [headerFile] [footerFile]

Argument

Description

derFile

The name of the file to convert. The filename must end with a .der extension, and must contain a valid certificate in .der format.

headerFile

The header to place in the PEM file. The default header is “-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----”.

Use a header file if the DER file being converted is a private key file, and create the header file containing one of the following:

“-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----” for an unencrypted private key.
“-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----” for an encrypted private key.

Note:

There must be a new line at the end of the header line in the file.

footerFile

The header to place in the PEM file. The default header is “-----END CERTIFICATE-----”.

Use a footer file if the DER file being converted is a private key file, and create the footer file containing one of the following in the header:

“-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----” for an unencrypted private key.
“-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----” for an encrypted private key.

Note:

There must be a new line at the end of the header line in the file.

Example

$ java utils.der2pem graceland_org.der
Decoding
................................................................

ejbc (deprecated)

See appc Reference in Programming Weblogic Server Enterprise JavaBeans.

EJBGen

EJBGen is an Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0 code generator. You can annotate your Bean class file with javadoc tags and then use EJBGen to generate the Remote and Home classes and the deployment descriptor files for an EJB application, reducing to one the number of EJB files you need to edit and maintain.

See EJBGen Reference in Programming WebLogic Server Enterprise JavaBeans.

encrypt

The weblogic.security.Encrypt utility encrypts cleartext strings for use with WebLogic Server. The utility uses the encryption service of the current directory, or the encryption service for a specified WebLogic Server domain root directory.

Note:

An encrypted string must have been encrypted by the encryption service in the WebLogic Server domain where it will be used. If not, the server will not be able to decrypt the string.

You can only run the weblogic.security.Encrypt utility on a machine that has at least one server instance in a WebLogic Server domain; it cannot be run from a client.

Note:

BEA Systems recommends running the utility from the Administration Server domain directory or on the machine hosting the Administration Server and specifying a domain root directory.

Syntax

java 	[ -Dweblogic.RootDirectory=dirname ] 
	[ -Dweblogic.management.allowPasswordEcho=true ] 
	weblogic.security.Encrypt [ password ]

Table 3-5 encrypt Arguments
Argument	Definition
`weblogic.RootDirectory`	Optional. WebLogic Server domain directory in which the encrypted string will be used. If not specified, the default domain root directory is the current directory (the directory in which the utility is being run).
`weblogic.management.allowPasswordEcho`	Optional. Allows echoing characters entered on the command line. `weblogic.security.Encrypt` expects that no-echo is available; if no-echo is not available, set this property to `true`.
`password`	Optional. Cleartext string to be encrypted. If omitted from the command line, you will be prompted to enter a password.

Examples

The utility returns an encrypted string using the encryption service of the domain located in the current directory.

java weblogic.security.Encrypt xxxxxx

{3DES}Rd39isn4LLuF884Ns

The utility returns an encrypted string using the encryption service of the specified domain location.

java -Dweblogic.RootDirectory=./mydomain weblogic.security.Encrypt xxxxxx

{3DES}hsikci118SKFnnw

The utility returns an encrypted string in the current directory, without echoing the password.

java weblogic.security.Encrypt

Password:

{3DES}12hsIIn56KKKs3

getProperty

The getProperty utility gives you details about your Java setup and your system. It takes no arguments.

Syntax

$ java utils.getProperty

Example

$ java utils.getProperty

host2ior

The host2ior utility obtains the Interoperable Object Reference (IOR) of a WebLogic Server.

Syntax

$ java utils.host2ior hostname port

ImportPrivateKey

The ImportPrivateKey utility is used to load a private key into a private keystore file.

Syntax

$ java utils.ImportPrivateKey

-certfile <cert_file> -keyfile <private_key_file>
[-keyfilepass <private_key_password>]
-keystore <keystore> -storepass <storepass> [-storetype <storetype>]
-alias <alias> [-keypass <keypass>]
[-help]

Table 3-6 ImportPrivateKey Arguments
Argument	Definition
`cert_file`	The name of the certificate associated with the private key.
`private_key_file`	The name of the generated private key file.
`private_key_password`	The password for the private key.
`keystore`	The name of the keystore. A new keystore is created if one does not exist.
`storepass`	The password to open the keystore.
`storetype`	The type (format) of the keystore. The `storetype` argument, which is the same as that used by the `keytool` command, specifies the type of Java keystore. The default `storetype` is `jks`, defined by the `keystore.type` property in the `java.security` file: `keystore.type=jks` You can specify another `storetype` (for example, `pcks12` or `nCipher.SWorld`) if a configured security provider supports that type.
`alias`	The name that is used to look up certificates and keys in the keystore.
`keypass`	The password of the key entry in the keystore. If `keypass` is not specified, the first default is to look for a `keyfile_pass`, the second default is to look for `storepass`. Note that if you used `CertGen` to create a private keyfile protected by a password (`-keyfilepass` `keyfile_pass`), that password is the one required by `ImportPrivateKey` to extract the key from the keyfile and insert the key in the newly created keystore (which will contain both the certificate(s) from `cert_file` and the private key from `keyfile`).

Example

Use the following steps to:

Generate a certificate and private key using the CertGen utility
Create a keystore and store a private key using the ImportPrivateKey utility

To generate a certificate:

Note: By default, the CertGen utility looks for the CertGenCA.der and CertGenCAKey.der files in the current directory, or in the WL_HOME/server/lib directory, as specified in the weblogic.home system property or the CLASSPATH.

Note:

Alternatively, you can specify CA files on the command line. If you want to use the default settings, there is no need to specify CA files on the command line.

Enter the following command to generate certificate files named testcert with private key files named testkey:

$ java utils.CertGen -keyfilepass mykeypass 
-certfile testcert -keyfile testkey

Generating a certificate with common name return and key strength 1024
issued by CA with certificate from CertGenCA.der file and key from CertGenCAKey.der file

Convert the certificate from DER format to PEM format.

$ java utils.der2pem CertGenCA.der

Concatenate the certificate and the Certificate Authority (CA).

$ cat testcert.pem CertGenCA.pem >> newcerts.pem

Create a new keystore named mykeystore and load the private key located in the testkey.pem file.

$ java utils.ImportPrivateKey -keystore mykeystore -storepass mypasswd
-keyfile mykey -keyfilepass mykeypass -certfile newcerts.pem -keyfile
testkey.pem -alias passalias

No password was specified for the key entry
Key file password will be used

Imported private key testkey.pem and certificate newcerts.pem
into a new keystore mykeystore of type jks under alias passalias

jhtml2jsp

Converts JHTML files to JSP files. Be sure to inspect the results carefully. Given the unpredictability of the JHTML code, jhtml2jsp will not necessarily produce flawless translations.

The output is a new JSP file named after the original file.

The HTTP servlets auto-generated from JSP pages differ from the regular HTTP servlets generated from JHTML. JSP servlets extend weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspBase, and so do not have access to the methods available to a regular HTTP servlet.

If your JHTML pages reference these methods to access the servlet context or config objects, you must substitute these methods with the reserved words in JSP that represent these implicit objects.

If your JHTML uses variables that have the same name as the reserved words in JSP, the tool will output a warning. You must edit your Java code in the generated JSP page to change the variable name to something other than a reserved word.

Syntax

$ java weblogic.utils.jhtml2jsp -d <directory> filename.jhtml

$ java weblogic.utils.jhtml2jsp filename.jhtml

Table 3-7 html2jsp Arguments
Argument	Definition
`-d`	Specify the target directory. If the target directory isn’t specified, output is written to the current directory.

jspc (deprecated)

JSP-specific compiler task. Use appc.

logToZip

The logToZip utility searches an HTTP server log file, finds the Java classes loaded into it by the server, and creates an uncompressed .zip file that contains those Java classes. It is executed from the document root directory of your HTTP server.

To use this utility, you must have access to the log files created by the HTTP server.

Syntax

$ java utils.logToZip logfile codebase zipfile

Table 3-8 logToZip Arguments
Argument	Definition
`logfile`	Required. Fully-qualified pathname of the log file.
`codebase`	Required. Code base for the applet, or `""` if there is no code base. By concatenating the code base with the full package name of the applet, you get the full pathname of the applet (relative to the HTTP document root).
`zipfile`	Required. Name of the `.zip` file to create. The resulting `.zip` file is created in the directory in which you run the program. The pathname for the specified file can be relative or absolute. In the examples shown below, a relative pathname is given, so the `.zip` file is created in the current directory.

Examples

The following example shows how a .zip file is created for an applet that resides in the document root itself, that is, with no code base:

$ cd /HTTP/Serv/docs
$ java utils.logToZip /HTTP/Serv/logs/access "" app2.zip

The following example shows how a .zip file is created for an applet that resides in a subdirectory of the document root:

C:\>cd \HTTP\Serv
C:\HTTP\Serv>java utils.logToZip \logs\applets\classes app3.zip

MBean Commands

Use the MBean commands (CREATE, DELETE, GET, INVOKE, and SET) to administer MBeans. See “ Editing Commands” in WebLogic Scripting Tool.

MulticastTest

The MulticastTest utility helps you debug multicast problems when configuring a WebLogic Cluster. The utility sends out multicast packets and returns information about how effectively multicast is working on your network. Specifically, MulticastTest displays the following types of information via standard output:

A confirmation and sequence ID for each message sent out by the current server.
The sequence and sender ID of each message received from any clustered server, including the current server.
A missed-sequenced warning when a message is received out of sequence.
A missed-message warning when an expected message is not received.

To use MulticastTest, start one copy of the utility on each node on which you want to test multicast traffic.

WARNING: Do NOT run the MulticastTest utility by specifying the same multicast address (the -a parameter) as that of a currently running WebLogic Cluster. The utility is intended to verify that multicast is functioning properly before starting your clustered WebLogic Servers.

For information about setting up multicast, see the configuration documentation for the operating system and hardware of the WebLogic Server host machine. For more information about configuring a cluster, see Using WebLogic Server Clusters.

For information on troubleshooting multicast in a cluster, see Troubleshooting Multicast Configuration.

Syntax

$ java utils.MulticastTest -n name -a address [-p portnumber]
   [-t timeout] [-s send]

Table 3-9 MulticastTest Arguments
Argument	Definition
`-n` `name`	Required. A name that identifies the sender of the sequenced messages. Use a different name for each test process you start.
`-a` `address`	The multicast address on which: (a) the sequenced messages should be broadcast; and (b) the servers in the clusters are communicating with each other. (The default is 237.0.0.1.)
`-p` `portnumber`	Optional. The multicast port on which all the servers in the cluster are communicating. (The multicast port is the same as the listen port set for WebLogic Server, which defaults to 7001 if unset.)
`-t` `timeout`	Optional. Idle timeout, in seconds, if no multicast messages are received. If unset, the default is 600 seconds (10 minutes). If a timeout is exceeded, a positive confirmation of the timeout is sent to `stdout`.
`-s` `send`	Optional. Interval, in seconds, between sends. If unset, the default is 2 seconds. A positive confirmation of each message sent out is sent to `stdout`.

Example

$ java utils.MulticastTest -N server100 -A 237.155.155.1
Set up to send and receive on Multicast on Address 237.155.155.1 on port 7001

PointBase is bundled with WebLogic Server as a sample database. Its documentation is also included at WL_HOME\common\eval\pointbase\docs, where WL_HOME is the WebLogic Server installation directory, typically C:\bea\wlserver_10.0.

The PointBase documentation is also on the PointBase site, at http://www.pointbase.com/support/docs/overview.html.

rmic

The WebLogic RMI compiler is a command-line utility for generating and compiling remote objects. Use weblogic.rmic to generate dynamic proxies on the client-side for custom remote object interfaces in your application, and to provide hot code generation for server-side objects. See “ Using the WebLogic RMI Compiler” in Programming WebLogic RMI.

Schema

The Schema utility lets you upload SQL statements to a database using the WebLogic JDBC drivers. For additional information about database connections, see Programming WebLogic JDBC.

Syntax

$ java utils.Schema driverURL driverClass [-u username]
   [-p password] [-verbose] SQLfile

Table 3-12 Schema Arguments
Argument	Definition
`driverURL`	Required. URL for the JDBC driver.
`driverClass`	Required. Pathname of the JDBC driver class.
`-u` `username`	Optional. Valid username.
`-p` `password`	Optional. Valid password for the user.
`-verbose`	Optional. Prints SQL statements and database messages.
`SQLfile`	Required. Text file with SQL statements.

Example

The following code shows a Schema command line for the examples.utils package:

$ java utils.Schema
"jdbc:pointbase:server://localhost/demo"
"com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver" -u "examples"
-p "examples" examples/utils/ddl/demo.ddl

utils.Schema will use these parameters:

url: jdbc:pointbase:server://localhost/demo
driver: com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver
dbserver: null
user: examples
password: examples
SQL file: examples/utils/ddl/demo.ddl

servicegen (deprecated)

The servicegen Ant task takes as input an EJB JAR file or a list of Java classes, and creates all the needed Web Service components and packages them into a deployable EAR file.

For a complete list of Web Services Ant tasks, see “Ant Task Reference” in WebLogic Web Services: Reference.

SearchAndBuild

This Ant task executes build.xml files that are included within the FileSet. The task assumes that all of the files defined in FileSet are valid build files, and executes the Ant task of each of them.

Make certain that your FileSet filtering is correct. If you include the build.xml file that SearchAndBuildTask is being called from, you will be stuck in an infinite loop as this task will execute the top level build file—itself—forever. See FileSet.

Example

<project name="all_modules" default="all" basedir=".">
<taskdef name="buildAll"
classname="weblogic.ant.taskdefs.build.SearchAndBuildTask"/>
<target name="all">
<buildAll>
<fileset dir="${basedir}">
<include name="**\build.xml"/>
<exclude name="build.xml"/>
</fileset>
</buildAll>
</target>
</project>

source2wsdd (deprecated)

Generates a web-services.xml deployment descriptor file from the Java source file for a Java class-implemented WebLogic Web Service.

For a complete list of Web Services Ant tasks, see “Ant Task Reference” in WebLogic Web Services: Reference.

system

The system utility displays basic information about your computer’s operating environment, including the manufacturer and version of your JDK, your CLASSPATH, and details about your operating system.

Syntax

$ java utils.system

Example

$ java utils.system
* * * * * * * java.version * * * * * * *
1.5.0_03
* * * * * * * java.vendor * * * * * * *

ValidateCertChain

WebLogic Server provides the ValidateCertChain utility to check whether or not an existing certificate chain will be rejected by WebLogic Server. The utility uses certificate chains from PEM files, PKCS-12 files, PKCS-12 keystores, and JKS keystores. A complete certificate chain must be used with the utility. The following is the syntax for the ValidateCertChain utility:

java utils.ValidateCertChain -file pemcertificatefilenamejava utils.ValidateCertChain -pem pemcertificatefilenamejava utils.ValidateCertChain -pkcs12store pkcs12storefilenamejava utils.ValidateCertChain -pkcs12file pkcs12filename passwordjava utils.ValidateCertChain -jks alias storefilename [storePass]

Example of valid certificate chain:

java utils.ValidateCertChain -pem zippychain.pemCert[0]: CN=zippy,OU=FOR TESTINGONLY,O=MyOrganization,L=MyTown,ST=MyState,C=USCert[1]: CN=CertGenCAB,OU=FOR TESTINGONLY,O=MyOrganization,L=MyTown,ST=MyState,C=US

Certificate chain appears valid

Example of invalid certificate chain:

java utils.ValidateCertChain -jks mykey mykeystoreCert[0]: CN=corba1,OU=FOR TESTING ONLY, O=MyOrganization,L=MyTown,ST=MyState,C=US

CA cert not marked with critical BasicConstraint indicating it is a CACert[1]: CN=CACERT,OU=FOR TESTING ONLY, O=MyOrganization,L=MyTown,ST=MyState,C=USCertificate chain is invalid

verboseToZip

When executed from the document root directory of your HTTP server, verboseToZip takes the standard output from a Java application run in verbose mode, finds the Java classes referenced, and creates an uncompressed.zip file that contains those Java classes.

Syntax

$ java utils.verboseToZip inputFile zipFileToCreate

Table 3-13 verboseToZip Arguments
Argument	Definition
`inputFile`	Required. Temporary file that contains the output of the application running in verbose mode.
`zipFileToCreate`	Required. Name of the `.zip` file to be created. The resulting `.zip` file is be created in the directory in which you run the program.

Example

$ java -verbose myapplication > & classList.tmp
$ java utils.verboseToZip classList.tmp app2.zip
