10 Developing Applications

These documents describe designing and developing WebLogic Server applications and provide programming guides and reference information.

Develop WebLogic Server Applications

Overview of WebLogic Server Application Development
Introduction to WebLogic Server

Set Up Your Development Environment

Start and stop WebLogic Server
Use the "split development directory" to develop your applications

Design Your Application

Use shared Java EE libraries and optional packages to share code among deployed applications
Programming JSF and JSTL applications
Use life cycle listeners
Use the HTTP Publish-Subscribe Server
Add WebLogic Server security features
Internationalize or localize your application
Use threads in WebLogic Server
Use logging in your application
Write a client application
Design a manageable applications

Build Your Application

Develop applications with WebLogic Server
Deploy your "split development directory" application on WebLogic Server
Use Ant tasks to compile Java code

Tools

Ant
Administration Console
Command Reference
Configuration Wizard
EJBGen
Template Builder
WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST)

Move Your Application to a Production Environment

Prepare your application or module for deployment
Configure your application for production deployment
Update your deployed application (Production Redeployment)
