Automated remote deployment of Webcenter ear to our development enviroment



All the usual undeploy / stop start code worked remotely but unfortunately the deploy was not going as planned - I wanted to set the MDS info on deployment so it was time for a new plan.

So this time on our build server would call WLST to deploy our web center app on the development weblogic enviroment.

Wlst commands I used:

Connect
  connect('weblogic','bobsentme', ''t3://remote.wl:7001')

 Stop
  shutdown('ManagedServer1', force='true')

Start
  start(start('WC_Cluster', 'Cluster', 't3://remote.wl:7001'));

Deploy
archive = getMDSArchiveConfig(fromLocation='/tmp/pathto.ear')

archive.setAppMetadataRepository(repository='mds-CustomDS', partition='dev_partition', type='DB', jndi='jdbc/mds/CustomDS')");


archive.save()

deploy(appName='OurAppName', path='/tmp/pathto.ear', targets='WC_Cluster', stageMode='stage',   upload='true')

Undeploy
  undeploy('OurAppName')

Disconnect
  disconnect('true')


Scripts: to get the classpath and environment  variables correct I run the wlst.sh command and echo'ed the classpath and JAVA_OPTS and pulled them into my file not elegant but it did work.


Things still to do:

  • Use a secure connection t3s
  • Move from script to use wlst directly
  • Call setWLenv or something to setup the classpath and java opts for me
Something like:
/opt/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh
/opt/Oracle/Middleware/oracle_common/common/bin/setHomeDirs.sh
/opt/Oracle/Middleware/oracle_common/common/bin/setWlstEnv.sh

ADF sort of generic screen for tables with the same structure

We have a couple (about a hundred) of tables with the same structure (Code, Description, Create Date, Update Date). So I wanted to do something simple so that I did not have to create all these screens 1) EO   I created the EO based on one of the tables I had that had the above columns. I then Added a transient attribute called table name to my EO based on a groovy expression. (the expression needs to change as I am reading web tier stuff from the model layer but I will fix this later) I then generated a java class for my EO. And added the following overriden method to my newly created java class. protected StringBuffer buildDMLStatement(int i, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl,   AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl2, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl3, boolean b) {   StringBuffer statement = super.buildDMLStatement(   i, attributeDefImpl, attributeDefImpl2, attributeDefImpl3, b); return new StringBuffer(StringUtils.replace(statement.to...

MANIFEST.MF merge JDeveloper for an executable jar

Goto your project > properties. Then click on deployment in the menu. Edit or add a jar deployment profile. Fill in the details under jar options (select Include manifest and give it a main class name) Also remember that the merge functionality only works with a BLANK line at the end of the merge file. REALLY this caught me. My merge file contents: Class-Path: commons-codec-1.3.jar [...empty line here CRLF...]
