Details of Tips:
  1. Reloading Servlets More Often

    Last Updated: 1/7/2006
    Applies to: WebLogic 8.1 SP3+

    To cause WebLogic to more frequently check for and load updated Java servlet *.class files, edit the file:

            WEB-INF\weblogic.xml

    in the directory of the deployed Web application, changing the value of:

            servlet-reload-check-secs

    The change won't take effect till you restart the server.

    You may not want to do this for a production server, since it wastes unnecessary CPU cycles in an environment where files do not change often, but it's very handy on a development server.

  3. WebLogic Console

    1. Starting the WebLogic Console

      Last Updated: 1/7/2006
      Applies to: WebLogic 8.1 SP3+

      WebLogic has a Web-based console that you can use to configure and manage webapps.  To invoke it, browse to a URL like:

          http://localhost:7001/console/

      using the appropriate port number, and login with your WebLogic credentials.

    2. Changing the Location of a Webapp

      Last Updated: 1/7/2006
      Applies to: WebLogic 8.1 SP3+

      You cannot change the location of a deployed app in the WebLogic console.  Instead, you must delete the deployment, and re-deploy the app.  The steps look like the following, for example:

          - <server name> | Deployments | Applications | <app name> | RightClick | delete
          - <server name> | Deployments | Applications | Deploy a new application | <navigate to location>
              - yes = <cluster name>
              - Target Application button
              - <server name> | Clusters | <managed server name> | Continue
              - Source Accessibility
              - yes = I will make the application accessible from the following location.
              - Deploy
