I’m in the process of evaluating MyEclipseIDE, but have run into the following issue trying to get it to work with WLS 6.1 SP4:

– The WLSconfig.xml <Application Deployed=”false” …> values seem to be ignored, resulting in all my web apps being launched when I don’t want them to.

Has anyone else seen this? I’m running Eclipse v2.1.1.

That’s an odd one, because we neither read nor write any application server-specific configuration files. It’s up to WebLogic to read this file and do what is appropriate. However, if you’ve got WebLogic setup to autodeploy applications, which you should if you want to take advantage of our deployer, this setting may override the setting in the config file. If you deployed these applications using MyEclipse, the easiest way to stop them from being deployed is to undeploy them using our management dialog.

Running the server via the startweblogic.cmd does not run the applications that I’ve marked as Deployed=”false”… so that’s why I thought that MyEclipse might be doing something strange. I have since found more issues:

#1 The setup for WLS 6 requires the “execution domain root” to be the parent directory of config, which in my case is c:\weblogic\wlserver6.1. However, when I deploy the hello world web app, it puts it into c:\weblogic\wlserver6.1\applications rather than c:\weblogic\wlserver6.1\config\mydomain\applications.
#2 This may be related to issue #1, but my config.xml contained relative application paths, and I got an error message for each application until I changed their paths to an absolute path.

#1 is caused by a bug in the Weblogic 6 application connector. I’ve entered it into our internal defect tracking system and it will be resolved in the next service release (timing TBD).

#2 may be caused by an incorrect launch directory being used. I’ve noted it on the bug report for investigation.

Sorry for the inconveniece, but thank you for taking the time to report it.

Hi Scott,

Is there an update on when this problem will be resolved? I am also seeing the same problem with WL6.

Thanks
Dave

Dave,

Thanks for reminding me. This issue is fixed in the internal build that will become the 2.5.2 service release. It will be available within the next couple of days (week of 8/18/2003). To be notified when it’s available, be sure you’ve subscribed to our Newsletter in the left navigation bar.
