Creating a Workshop-Enabled Server Domain

This topic explains how to create a WebLogic Server domain that can support an application build with Workshop. The instructions below will show you how to add the NetUI and Controls framework libraries, the JMS queues required for message buffering, reliable messaging, and JMS transport to a server domain.

This topic describes two cases for adding Workshop application resources to a server domain:

  1. Adding Workshop Resources to a New Server Domain
  2. Adding Workshop Resources to an Existing Server Domain

Adding Workshop Resources to a New Server Domain

If you are creating a new server domain, use these instructions to ensure that the appropriate Workshop resources are present:

  1. If you are using Windows, open the domain configuration wizard by selecting Start > BEA Products > Tools > Configuration Wizard.

    If you are using Linux, open the domain configuration wizard by running BEA_HOME/wlserver_10.0/common/bin/config.sh.
  2. In the BEA WebLogic Configuration Wizard, on the page labeled Welcome, confirm that Create a new WebLogic domain is selected. Click Next.
  3. On the page labeled Select Domain Source, select Workshop for WebLogic 10.2. Click Next.

    This ensures that the domain is configured with the appropriate libraries, JMS queues, and JDBC datasources.

    Note that selecting Workshop for WebLogic Platform, will create a Workshop version 10.0 domain. See Workshop Domains Resources for details.

  4. Complete the rest of the domain configuration wizard as appropriate.

Adding Workshop Resources to an Existing Server Domain

If you are updating an previously existing domain, use these instructions to ensure that the appropriate Workshop resources are present.

  1. If you are using Windows, open the domain configuration wizard by selecting Start > BEA Products > Tools > Configuration Wizard.

    If you are using Linux, open the domain configuration wizard by running BEA_HOME/wlserver_10.0/common/bin/config.sh.
  2. In the BEA WebLogic Configuration Wizard, on the page labeled Welcome, select Extend and existing WebLogic domain. Click Next.
  3. On the page labeled Select WebLogic Domain Directory, navigate to the root folder of your server domain.
    Click Next.
  4. On the page labeled Select Extension Source, place a checkmark next to Extend my domain using an existing extension template.
    Browse
    to the extension template at BEA_HOME/wlserver_10.0/common/templates/applications/workshop_wl.jar. Click Next.
  5. Complete the rest of the domain configuration wizard as appropriate.

For more information on completing the configuration wizard, see Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard in the WebLogic Server documentation.

Workshop Domains

The Workshop for WebLogic 10.2 and Workshop for WebLogic Platform domains are configured as follows:

For more configuration details on your domain see the main server configuration file at DOMAIN_HOME/config/config.xml.
