To use Workplace as
a web application, you must deploy it as an application in the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
You can specify the context root for the application URL during the
deployment.
Procedure
- From the WebLogic Server Administration
Console, navigate to the domain you initially created for the Application Engine.
- Prepare the WebLogic Server Administration
Console to deploy the application.
- Choose whether to deploy from an exploded folder (AE_install_path)
or from the WAR or EAR file (default: app_engine.war or app_engine.ear in AE_install_path/deploy).
- Accept the defaults for the deployment, except for the
name for the deployment. Use "Workplace" instead of "appengine".
- Finish the deployment, and save and activate your changes.
Tip: To verify that the deployment was successful,
expand Web Applications. The web application Workplace is listed.
Tip: To troubleshoot the deployment, check the following log:
WLS_install_path/user_projects/domains/domain_name/servers/server_name/logs/server_name.log
- After deployment is complete, start Workplace (or your custom application
name) in the WebLogic Server Administration
Console.
In
a high availability environment, by using the application server administration
tool, verify that the Application Engine application
is running. - Open a Web browser and type in the URL for the Application Engine application.
- If you are using a load-balancer or proxy server the URL has the
form:
- Application Engine
- http://virtual_name:port_number/Workplace
- If connecting to an individual cluster node the URL would have
the form:
- Application Engine
- http://clustered_server_name:port_number/Workplace/
Sign-in by using the virtual name to properly set the base Application Engine URL. If it is not set correctly
you must change it in Site Preferences.
- Verify that the sign-in page displays, and log in as
a user.
- Fail one of the nodes.
- Verify that you can reload the sign-in page, and log
in as the same user.
