Oracle WebLogic Server Domain Template Builder

This topic provides a high-level description of the Oracle WebLogic Server Domain Template Builder and how to use it. For more information about this wizard, see Oracle® Fusion Middleware Creating Domain Templates Using the Domain Template Builder 11g Release 1 (10.3.1) in the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 Documentation Library.

The Domain Template Builder is a standalone Java application that guides you through the process of creating custom domain and extension templates. You create Oracle WebLogic domains by using domain and extension templates that contain the key attributes and files required for building or extending a domain. You can also use the Domain Template Builder to customize an existing template. For example, you might want to remove applications or add SQL scripts for additional databases.

The Domain Template Builder is designed to be used offline, in graphical mode only. This application is not supported in console mode. Therefore, the console attached to the computer on which you are using the Domain Template Builder must support Java-based GUIs. All consoles running on Windows operating systems support Java-based GUIs. Only a subset of UNIX-based consoles supports Java-based GUIs.

The Oracle WebLogic Server installation includes a set of predefined domain and extension templates. This set of templates includes the base Oracle WebLogic Server domain template and various extension templates that allow you to add product features and samples to the base domain.
