Connect to a Domain Using Oracle JDeveloper
Before you can use Oracle JDeveloper to connect to an Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI domain, add an ingress rule to restrict Internet access to a new network channel, and then create a network channel that supports the T3S protocol to enable remote connections.
Note:
- Oracle recommends you use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure FastConnect and private IP addresses to set up the connection between Oracle JDeveloper and your Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI domain. See FastConnect Overview.
- Install Oracle JDeveloper on a separate compute instance in the same VCN as the WebLogic subnet. This allows access from the JDeveloper instance to the ports on the WLS subnet.
Add an Ingress Rule
Before you establish a network channel that supports the T3 (and secure T3) protocol, use the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console to create an ingress rule to restrict access from the Internet.
Note:
RMI communications in Oracle WebLogic Server use the T3/T3S protocol to transport data between WebLogic Server and other Java programs, including clients. When using a port that supports T3/T3S, Oracle recommends you limit access only to known clients.Create a Network Channel
When you use Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI to create a domain, the administration server is configured with network channels that do not support the T3 and T3S protocols. To connect to the administration server with tools that use the T3 and T3S protocols, you must create a new network channel.
Create a Connection to the Domain Through Oracle JDeveloper
After creating the ingress rule and network channel, establish and test a connection between Oracle JDeveloper and your Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI domain.
- Open the Oracle JDeveloper Console.
- Open the Create Application Server Connection dialog.
- On the Configuration page, enter the following:
- For WebLogic Hostname (Administration Server), enter the private IP address of the compute instance that runs the WebLogic Administration Server.
- For Port, enter
0
. - For SSL Port, enter
8002
. - Select the Always Use SSL check box.
- For WebLogic Domain, enter your WebLogic Server domain name in Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure. The name has the suffix
_domain
. For example:thestack_domain
- Ensure No Proxy is selected in your Web Browser and Proxy setting.
- Test the application server connection in JDeveloper.
