Steps to Deploy Spring MVC on Oracle WebLogic Server:-
1. In this post, I will package Spring MVC Web app and deploy it on WebLogic Server.
2. Take note that if you deploy Spring MVC on other servers such as Tomcat and Glassfish, you do not need to change anything on your Source code.
3. However, if you want to deploy it on WebLogic, you will need to add some configuration files to the source code prior to the packaging.
Add the configuration to the project:-
Adding weblogic.xml to WEB-INF. In the weblogic.xml file, you need to configure contextPath (context-root) for the application. In case I name it as /spring MVC. You can name as/if you want to use empty ContextPath.
Packaging Applications:-
Maven Clean:-
Maven Install:-
War file was created on the “target” folder of project.
Deploy on Weblogic:-
- Go to Domain Structure -> Deployments and click on install. Choose XXXXXXXX.war and click on next.
2. Select -> “Install this deployment as an application” and click on Next and in next window click on Finish.
3. Click on Save. The setting will be updated successfully.
