Is it possible to deploy the J2EE Module only into Bluemix? Because what I did now is I deployed the entire whole WebSphere Application Server. But then, what happen is that I can't run the application locally anymore because the server.xml configuration has been changed to use the database service selected in the Bluemix platform.
Here's a snippet of the current setup. If there's another way, can someone tell me how
You can publish EAR and web modules directly to the Bluemix server in Eclipse. The Tools also support incremental publish of both type of modules.
To deploy the application, you can simply right click on the Bluemix server on the Servers view and select the Add and Remove option. For details, you can refer to Publishing an EAR file section of the documentation. The steps for publishing a web module is the same as publishing an EAR module.
Note that publishing the module directly does not allow you to include Liberty server configuration, i.e. the server.xml, as part of the publish operation. In case your application require specific server configuration settings, then you need to continue to publish the entire server as before.

Application is a EAR file
Shared Library where the third party jar are bundled and deployed to managed server as shared library.
weblogic-application.xml file where library ref to shared library is made and present in EAR file(META-INF folder).
Shared libraries are deployed to managed server as target and is successful.
while deploying the EAR file, the selection of EAR from console deployment results in ClassNotFoundException of the class present in shared library even though the reference is made in weblogic-application.xml.
Note that if the Library deployment is targeted to Admin Server and Managed Server the deployment of EAR file is successful without any exception.
Single Admin Server deployment is working fine without any issues for the same setup.
Deployment is expecting the JAR is classpath of admin server while deploying to managed server. is this an intended behavior ?
Is there any setup configuration we are missing here ? Correct me if there is any steps gone wrong.
Update : we did the same deployment with ant script using wldeploy and no errors are encountered and application is deployed successfully.
This was a known issue in a previous version of weblogic. Maybe it is still not fixed.

While using the WebLogic Administration Console with applications or EJBs deployed on a Managed Server that depend on a deployed library, you may encounter a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
Workaround:
The WebLogic Server Administration Console needs access to any shared library deployments so that Java data types and annotations can be processed. Therefore, all shared library deployments should always be targeted to the Administration Server in addition to any Managed Servers or clusters.

I'm trying to customize the Liberty setup, following the instructions from this post:
"Custom Liberty server.xml configurations in IBM Bluemix", see:
https://www.ibm.com/blogs/bluemix/2015/01/modify-liberty-server-xml-configurations-ibm-bluemix/
In order to modify the Liberty server features, I'd like to replace the automatic generation of the configuration file by a customized server configuration, which according to the instructions is called "Liberty packaging server".
In the Eclipse Neon IDE, I've already installed two plugin's, the Bluemix Tool as well as the Liberty Development Plugin. At the server tab, I'm right clicking the active Blumix server, but no option for "packaging server" is displayed at the menu. The default "push" option is working fine.
At the Eclipse IDE, is there a software component missing to create and publish a customized server package (beta + features) for Liberty? How can I run a customized packing without command line tools, using Eclipse?
There are two main ways to publish a packaged server in Bluemix:
You have (or create) a Liberty server instance that represents the server. For details on how to create a Liberty server, see http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_8.5.5/com.ibm.websphere.wlp.doc/ae/t_creating_server.html. Once you have the Liberty server created in Eclipse, you can just add the Liberty server to the Bluemix server on the Servers view and it will package the server for you during the publish operation.
You already have an existing packaged server zip file in the workspace that you want to publish. Then, you can just right click on the zip file and do a Run As > Run on Server.
For details, you can refer to https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/manageapps/eclipsetools/eclipsetools.html#packagedserversupport
The first method is usually preferred since you can continue to update the applications and also the server configuration file and do incremental update on the application by the publish operation.
In Eclipse, if you want to publish whole server to the Bluemix follow these steps:
stop your local Liberty server
in Eclipse in Servers view, grab the local Liberty server and drag it to the Bluemix one. It will publish whole server with its config.

Instead of right clicking on the Bluemix server, you need to right click on your Liberty server definition.
I install WebSphere Developer tools for Eclipse and refer to my local WebSphere 7 installation. Then deploy a Spring application within an EAR project. However, when I deploy the EAR project into WebSphere server instance in Eclipse, I find no options/UI to assign external library or assign role/user mapping etc, just like what I can do in WebSphere console.
When log on WebSphere console I do see the project setting but cannot save the change.
So is there anyway to configure on the UI or I have to make every change in an WebSphere XML configuration file?
In Eclipse, I find no options/UI to assign external library or assign role/user mapping etc
Yes, you have to do it via console.
When log on WebSphere console I do see the project setting but cannot save the change.
Thats the common problem. Open the Server configuration and uncheck Minimize application files copied to the server. Restart server, undeploy and redeploy application. You should be able to save mappings.
If this doesn't help (helps in most cases but not for some settings and I don't remember for which), then in the Publishing options, switch to Run server with resources on Server, this will work for sure, but deployment will be a bit longer. Of course restart and redeploy app.
You will see the missing OK buttons in the admin console then.
I have a JDeveloper Project that is in .ear file. I loaded it into JDeveloper as new application and I can see the whole project. I also have a weblogic domain where this application files in .WAR and .ear are deployed. The application is up and running ok.
What I want is to be able to deploy the project directly from the JDeveloper.
How can I do this?
I already tried to deploy the application (Deploy to Application Server) -> Created a new Application Server (Connection was a success) -> Deploy to selected instances in the Domain (Selected the server where the application is deployed - NOT the Admin Server) and Deploy as a Standalone Application.
I don't know if the previous steps were correct and neither if this is the correct way to do what I want to achieve.

Define a connection to your application server, and then use the application->deploy option to deploy your application.
I'm using Eclipse for J2EE project development. Target app server is Weblogic10R3.
I was successfully deployed my ear project to weblogic via Run As.. Eclipse feature.
By default it deploys to AdminConsole server. Because of project specific issues I have to deploy into separate managed server (not Admin Console).
Am I able to override deploy behavior? I didn't find required settings inside server plugin.
Deploying to a managed server is supported as long as you have configured the server connection as remote vs local. You can do this even if your "remote" server is localhost. If you aren't sure, you probably need to create a new instance in the Servers View. The local vs. remote option is set in the new server wizard.
Once you have a remote server defined, double-click on the instance in the Servers View and you will see an editor open with various options, including those related to publishing.
