Quick Deployment using WLST

You can use WLST to quickly deploy an Application  File in a Weblogic Server.

What do you need ?

• The ear/war/rar/jar  file ( uploaded to a directory in the target WebLogic Server )
• A simple WLST script
• Credentials for the Weblogic Server ( preferrably, the weblogic user ).

• Write a simple WLST Script to do your work and save it as "deploy.py"

print '*** WEBLOGIC : START ***'

print 'connecting to admin server....'

connect( 'weblogic', 'webl0gic', 't3://localhost:7001', adminServerName='AdminServer' )

print 'stopping and undeploying ....'

stopApplication('shoppingcart')

print 'deploying....'

deploy('shoppingcart', 'c:/shoppingcart.war', targets='AdminServer')

startApplication('shoppingcart')

print 'disconnecting from admin server....'

disconnect()

exit()

print '*** WEBLOGIC : STOP ***'

• Open a Terminal Window / Command Prompt
• Run the setDomainEnv.sh ( or setDomainEnv.bat ) script to set the required environment variables under <domain>/bin.
• run :-  java weblogic.WLST deploy.py
