According to this document: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15051_01/wls/docs103/deployment/understanding.html
Weblogic Server provides the following tools to help you configure and
deploy applications:
weblogic.Deployer
Administration Console
WLST
Deployment Tools for Developers
But we still can run and deploy application directly on Eclipse by installing plugins like this:
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/oracle-weblogic-server-tools-kepler#.U7YXL7EbZZJ
So what the different between these methods ?
Thank you for your time!
The documentation tells you exactly what the difference is... Do you have further questions more than what it provides? The end result is the same, your application or library is deployed.
weblogic.Deployer is command line, Java based
Admin Console is GUI based
WLST is script based (Jython)
Deployment Tools for Developers is an ant task for weblogic.Deployer

I am very fresh in WebSphere application server and I am setting a CI deployment on it.
So far, I have achieved this target by using a Jython script executed by wsadmin.
This actually seems to be a good approach, but, I was wondering if there are any other plugins that can simplify the maintainability of this script.
The CI server I am working on is Bamboo (Atlassian), and all the choices I have been able to find are a Apache Maven plugin and some WebSphere plugin from Atlassian market place.
Would you give me any recommendations or best practices? Can you recommend any other plugin implementable on Bamboo?
Thanks in advance
I have a Java Web Service project which was just handed over to me by a colleague who just resigned (no one is assisting me in my new company). Im new to Java (J2EE) and my background is .Net + frontend + azure so I am pretty much very confused with setting up and running the java project. Also, Since my background is .Net Im referencing everything with how things work in Visual Studio from running a project, setting up a project to setting up and debugging a WCF project which I realized now is very different from eclipse + java.
I would really appreciate if someone could explain to me how I can run this project which is supposedly a java web service (as I was told)?
First I have a project that is like this:
Im assuming that the project boxed as blue is the webservice (and the rest are just libraries)? Is this correct? if so how do I run and debug the project using eclipse
Second when I click on debug as -> debug on server this is all I see:
Another colleague told me to install JBOSS (I haven't installed a server in eclipse) because that is what they used. Is there good documentation (step-by-step guide) on how to install JBOSS to run in eclipse. Im assuming that JBOSS + eclipse is like IIS express + Visual studio. Are there also other alternatives to JBOSS + eclipse like perhaps tomcat + ecplise that I can configure.
I really really find it hard to setup the java web service project in eclipse I have little to no prior experience with java j2ee programming especially with web services so any clarifications with my questions would be much appreciated. To sum up:
How would I really know that the project is a java webservice?
If so, how do I run the project and host the project using debugging in eclipse with tomcat or jboss?
I would appreciate if anyone can point me to the right direction of figuring out the source code
From here we can only guide you, you will have to go through some tutorials to understand how java projects work.
Your project is a webservice project according to your web.xml file because its having context params for rest.
the context param sets a front url to your webservice which in this case is gametime.
Check these tutorials and you will understand how it works

Create simple examples given in the above tutorial and then you can execute your's program
Jboss is a application server which we use to run our app.
You can install jboss in eclipse or you can use it externally also.
To install eclipse and jboss you can follow the link
http://theopentutorials.com/tutorials/java-ee/installing-jboss-tools-in-eclipse/
The other option is to download eclipse and jboss seperately
and use them.
Go to jbosshome/bin
If you download both of them seperately
then in that case for jboss
Invoke the add-user.sh or add-user.bat script. ...
Choose to add a Management user. ...
Choose the realm for the user. ...
Enter the desired username and password. ...
Choose whether the user represents a remote JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 server instance. ...
Enter additional users. ...
Create users non-interactively.
After this go to eclipse and follow steps of below link to add jboss to eclipse

A Java web application among other things has a predefined directory structure including folders named WEB-INF, WEB-CONTENT etc.
On how to deploy a web application to Tomcat via Eclipse you can follow the steps in this tutorial.
we would like to adapt our Jenkins CI roundtrip as it takes to long (late feedback).
The current flow looks like described below:
OSGi server bundles are checked out and build with ant.
the OSGi bundles are packaged to be used on linux distros.
a server is set up to install the above packages and to run HTTP interface tests (integration tests) against it.
We would like to get rid of creating the linux packages and to install a server with these packages as this consumes most of the time.
Instead we would like to execute the existing tests against a headless eclipse which is running the server (based on compiled jars or imported projects if possible) managed by Jenkins CI.
Now some questions:
Is it possible to run a headless eclipse within Jenkins (I think so as it is just executing a java application)?
Is it possible (and does it makes sense) to have an eclipse instance permanently running and to get used from more than one job? So we have to only update the jars/imported projects that have been changed ... or
do we have to extract eclipse and set it up each test run?
Is it possible to import projects within the headless eclipse or do we have to throw compiled jars into its installation?
Are there any other ways to get HTTP interface tests executed against a running server we are currently not thinking about?
Thanks a lot!
I need to automate the building and deployment of (several) BPEL applications to a weblogic server.
I now do it using jDeveloper 11g, but I guess there should be some command line tools to do it. (I come from a Microsoft /.NET / Visual Studio background, and I can automate the deployment of my .NET applications using the command line and msbuild)
Does anyone know how to do that via the command line?
I don't have any experience with BPEL on Oracle WebLogic but according to this documentation a BPEL application is packaged as a standard EAR. I don't know exactly how your sources are structured under JDeveloper but you best option here to automate the packaging and the deployment of this EAR is IMO to use Ant (or Maven but if all this is totally new for you I would recommend using Ant).
Maybe this tutorial can help you to get started for the packaging part (basically, how to use the ear task). And for the deployment, I suggest to use the wldeploy Ant task (which wraps the weblogic.Deployer utility). I've mentioned them in this recent answer.
Also have a look at this question, it seems that JDeveloper might have some support to achieve this task (but I have zero knowledge of it so I can't provide any guidance, JDeveloper is not really widely used).
I assume you are using Oracle SOA Suite 11g? If so, have a look at Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite, particularly the section 38.7 Deploying SOA Composite Applications and the subsection 38.7.5 Managing SOA Composite Applications with Scripts.
You may also find useful advice in the Oracle BPEL forums.
I have to manually deploy my servlet war packages on an Apache tomcat instance running on an AWS (Amazon Web Services) machine (remote server).
Also i have Maven setup for dependency management and build packaging in local development environment.
What I want is to setup my maven install/deploy task such that my packaged war files are deployed and configured(i.e executing specific shell scripts) on the remote server automatically.
Is it possible ?
If yes!!
How can it be done? (Please suggest relevant references.)
Thanks in advance

Yes it is possible, you can use the cargo plugin to deploy to a server. See the Getting Started page for some examples.
If your scripts aren't catered for by the plugin, perhaps you could post some more details to see what options there are to address them.
If you are talking about Amazon's Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2), maybe you could check out cloudtools and its maven plugin (see the announcement on Chris Richardson's blog). Never tested myself though.
+1 for cargo plugin, I was not aware of that but could use it myself.
In case it helps you or someone else, you can run any script upon launch of an instance. This blog describes how.
