Viewing Deployed Apps in Weblogic Server

Question

I am new to weblogic and I would like to find out how my files are arrange in Weblogic? I have used only Tomcat and this is the first time where I will deploy in a Weblogic Server.

In Tomcat, I could view the exploded view of my projects by looking at the Tomcat Home Directory and the WebApps folder. There I could view how my application css/js/resource files are deployed.

%TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps

I am looking for a similar functionality in Weblogic? Can somebody tell me how? Thanks

I am using Weblogic 10.3.4 by the way

Answer 1

WebLogic supports several different ways of deploying applications, so the answer to your question is not very straightforward.

Typically, if you deploy a war/ear, then WebLogic will place them in the $WEBLOGIC_HOME/application directory. WebLogic will then explode your ear/war into a separate wl_stage folder that will be under your managedServer directory.

You can also use the ability of WebLogic to autodeploy ( not recommended for production apps ) where WebLogic will automatically explode the app.

In summary, you probably need to reach for the documentation to get all your questions answered.

Answer 2

I'm not quite sure if you want to find out where to deploy or where applications have been deployed. But if you want to see where are the deployed applications in weblogic, you can go to its console (e.g. localhost:7001/console) after start the server. Then follow the following steps:

1. Find and click "Deployments" label
2. Find and click your application in the right panel
3. Click "Overview" tab, then you will see "Path" in the opened information table.
