Preface

This preface describes the document accessibility features and conventions used in this guide—Deploying Applications to Oracle WebLogic Server.

Audience

This document is a resource for:

• Administrators who want to deploy Java EE applications or application modules to WebLogic Server instances or clusters. It is assumed that you are working in a production environment, which is generally characterized by multiple WebLogic Server instances or clusters running on multiple machines. It is also assumed that you have one or more application module archive files that have been tested and are ready to deploy on a production server.

• Developers who may need to deploy an application in a development environment, package an application for delivery to an administrator or deployer, or create and export the configuration of an application for deployment to a testing, staging, or production environment

Access to Oracle Support

Oracle customers that have purchased support have access to electronic support through My Oracle Support. For information, visit http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=acc&id=info or visit http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=acc&id=trs if you are hearing impaired.

Diversity and Inclusion

Oracle is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. Oracle respects and values having a diverse workforce that increases thought leadership and innovation. As part of our initiative to build a more inclusive culture that positively impacts our employees, customers, and partners, we are working to remove insensitive terms from our products and documentation. We are also mindful of the necessity to maintain compatibility with our customers' existing technologies and the need to ensure continuity of service as Oracle's offerings and industry standards evolve. Because of these technical constraints, our effort to remove insensitive terms is ongoing and will take time and external cooperation.

• Developing Applications for Oracle WebLogic Server describes how to deploy applications during development using the wldeploy Ant task, and provides information about the WebLogic Server deployment descriptor for enterprise applications.

• The WebLogic Server Java EE programming guides describe the Java EE and WebLogic Server deployment descriptors used with each Java EE application and module:

  • Developing Web Applications, Servlets, and JSPs for Oracle WebLogic Server

  • Developing Enterprise JavaBeans, Version 2.1, for Oracle WebLogic Server

  • Developing Resource Adapters for Oracle WebLogic Server
