JSP Fast Track
To 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 these Fast Track procedures.
If you do not have a JSP available, you can copy the HTML code from
the example in Programming WebLogic
JSP into a file with a *.jsp extension, such as
HelloWorld.jsp.
- Start a WebLogic Server. Windows NT users can use the
Start Menu shortcut labeled Launch Examples Server.
- Copy your JSP file into the
mydomain\applications\DefaultWebApp directory.
(Where mydomain is the
name of the domain you created during installation. If you did not create a domain
at installation, you can create one using the instructions in
Creating Domains and Servers.)
- In a Web browser, request the JSP file using the following URL:
http://localhost:port/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 preconfigured in your WebLogic Server installation. 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 Fast Track
To deploy an HTML page:
- Start WebLogic Server. Windows NT
users can use the Start Menu shortcut labeled Launch Examples Server.
- Copy your HTML file into the
mydomain\applications\DefaultWebApp
directory of your WebLogic Server installation.
(Where mydomain is the
name of the domain you created during installation. If you did not create a domain at installation,
you can create one using the instructions in Creating Domains and Servers.)
- If you have any image files or other files linked to your HTML
page, also copy those into the DefaultWebApp directory. If necessary,
you can create subdirectories to handle relative links, such as image
files.
- In a Web browser, request the HTML file using the following URL:
http://localhost:port/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 preconfigured in
your WebLogic Server installation. 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 Fast Track
To deploy a servlet:
- Create a subdirectory called classes under the following directory:
mydomain\applications\
DefaultWebApp\WEB-INF\.
(Where mydomain is the name
of the domain you created during installation. If you did not create a domain at
installation, you can create one using the instructions in
Creating Domains and Servers.)
- Copy your servlet class file into the following directory:
mydomain\applications\
DefaultWebApp\WEB-INF\classes.
If your servlet class has a package statement, 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:
mydomain\applications\DefaultWebApp
\WEB-INF\classes\color\blue.
If you do not have a servlet class to use for this Fast Track procedure,
follow the instructions in Programming
WebLogic HTTP Servlets to create a simple one.
- Modify the web.xml file
located in the mydomain\applications\DefaultWebApp\
WEB-INF\
directory of your domain 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.
package.name.myServlet is
the full package name of your servlet class.
- Save the web.xml file.
- Start WebLogic Server. Windows NT users can use the
Start Menu shortcut labeled Launch Examples Server.
- Call your servlet from a Web browser with the following URL:
http://localhost:port/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. A Web Application is a
J2EE deployment unit that ties together resources of a Web-based
application. The DefaultWebApp
Web Application is preconfigured in your WebLogic Server installation.
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).
