Oracle WebLogic Configuration Support

Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway has native support for Oracle WebLogic. Normally, the product is installed and the Oracle WebLogic components are embedded in the directories controlled by the web application server’s software during the deployment process. The deployment process usually transfers the WAR/EAR files to the Oracle WebLogic directories.

For Oracle WebLogic, the Oracle WebLogic software can be pointed to directories as in the product installation. This avoids Oracle WebLogic having additional copies of its configuration and WAR/EAR files under its own directory structure.

In this case the following configuration aspects of Oracle WebLogic apply:

• The $SPLEBASE/splapp subdirectory is referenced directly in the configuration files.

• In non-expanded mode (see Oracle WebLogic: Expanded or Archive Format for details), the WAR/EAR files are directly referenced from the config.xml file.

• In expanded mode (see Oracle WebLogic: Expanded or Archive Format for details), the application files are directly reference in the splapp subdirectories from the config.xml file.

• The config.xml file is located under splapp/config rather than using the Oracle WebLogic location. Any changes made from the Oracle WebLogic console are stored in this file.

• The utilities to start and stop the Oracle WebLogic instance are located under the splapp subdirectory.

• The security configuration files for the Oracle WebLogic instance are located under the splapp subdirectory. The security repository configured is configured in the location supplied with the Oracle WebLogic instance.

Thus, facility allows one installation of Oracle WebLogic to be used across many environments with each environment being independent.
