Is it possible to configure the WebLogic adapter to interact with WLS 8.1 installed on a remote server? I tried both using UNC names and mapping a directory to the bea home directory on the remote machine. UNC names just seemed to confuse the adapter. Mapping the bea home directory to a local drive letter almost works, but WLS complains that it can’t create the path to the .ear file for my application (which is on the remote machine).
So, is this possible, will I be able to use the debugger for the app running on the remote server, and if so, how do I specify the pathnames to bea home, etc. in the configuration dialog?
Thanks in advance,
Keith MorganKeith,
It should be possible to do this if you map the drive to a drive letter and understand that the WLS instance will still be run on your local machine, not on the remote server.

This is now a “can you run WebLogic on one machine while it physically installed on another one”. The problem you’re seeing could be due to the use of absolute paths withing the weblogic config.xml file. Even if your WebLogic instance is installed remotely, you should still use the WLS domain configuration wizard to create a domain that is local to your machine. That should avoid issues like this and get you going.

MyEclipse SupportI was trying to accomplish remote deploy/debug – i.e. use eclipse on my workstation to deploy to/debug on a test server, not to a wls instance on my workstation (I already have that working with a local installation of wls). Is this not possible? Will I have to deploy eclipse on the test server & do local debugging?
Thanks

MyEclipse is really set up to facilitate development on the local machine, since that is the way the vast majority of developers operate. There aren’t any additional facilities provided to do remote server management or control. The easiest thing to do is install MyEclipse on your test server and debug locally. Remote debugging with Eclipse is possible, but there is nothing to help you do it effectively. For instructions on that topic I’ll have to refer you to the Debugging section of the Eclipse User Guide.
