Appendix A. Quick Reference for Creating New Domains for WebLogic Development

by Kunal Mittal and Joe McGuire

IN THIS APPENDIX

• Creating a New WebLogic Server Domain

• Deploying an HTML Page

• Deploying a JSP

• Deploying a Servlet

You can use this appendix as a quick reference for completing the simple task of creating a new domain and deploying HTML pages, JavaServer Pages (JSPs), and servlets.

In previous versions of WebLogic Server, a default deployment structure was built during installation. The mydomain domain was automatically created, and a default Web application (aptly named DefaultWebApp) was installed under mydomain. Although completely configurable, many users retained and utilized that default domain installation for their deployments.

WebLogic Server 8.1 asks you to be a little more original. Other than the examples and MedRec domains, no custom domains or Web applications are installed during the default installation. The custom installation asks whether you want to create a new domain. If you choose the default installation, you'll have to build your own application structure—one that is best suited to you and your environment.
