Using the WebLogic 10.3.4 Maven Plug-In for Deployment

Apache Maven is a software tool for building and managing Java-based projects. Now you can use a Maven plug-in for WebLogic Server (weblogic-maven-plugin) to perform deployment operations similar to those supported by the command-line utility, weblogic.Deployer. The plug-in lets you deploy, redeploy, update, and such, applications built using Maven to WebLogic Server from within the Maven environment.

To download and configure Maven on supported platforms, see http://maven.apache.org/download.html. Be sure to read the set up instructions closely to ensure that Maven is working correctly in your environment.

For detailed information on using Maven to build applications and projects, see the Maven Users Centre at http://maven.apache.org/users/index.html.

The following sections describe using the weblogic-maven-plugin for deployment:

• Configuring and Using the WebLogic Maven Plug-In

• Deployment Goals

• Troubleshooting

Configuring and Using the WebLogic Maven Plug-In

Follow these steps for generating, installing, and using the weblogic-maven-plugin:

Note:

To successfully accomplish these steps, your computer must be connected to the Internet and have the necessary proxy settings configured correctly in the settings.xml file (typically $HOME /.m2/settings.xml). For further details, see http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-proxies.html.

1. Build the plug-in JAR file using the WebLogic JarBuilder Tool (wljarbuilder) under MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/ with the following command:

   java -jar wljarbuilder.jar -profile weblogic-maven-plugin
   

   The weblogic-maven-plugin.jar contains a Project Object Model (pom.xml) file which specifies the groupId, artifactId, version, and packaging of the weblogic-maven-plugin.jar:

   groupId=com.oracle.weblogic
   artifactId=weblogic-maven-plugin
   version=10.3.4
   packaging=maven-plugin
   

   These fields identify the plug-in and mark a specific place in a Maven repository, acting like a coordinate system for Maven projects.

2. Extract the pom.xml file from weblogic-maven-plugin.jar under the MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib directory, and then copy the pom.xml file to MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib.

   For example:

   jar xvf MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic-maven-plugin.jar 
   META-INF/maven/com.oracle.weblogic/weblogic-maven-plugin/pom.xml
   
   cp MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/META-INF/maven/com.oracle.weblogic/
   weblogic-maven-plugin/pom.xml MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib
   

3. Provision the weblogic-maven-plugin.jar in your local Maven repository with the following command. However, for a shortened command-line goal invocation of the plug-in, follow the directions in step 5 before performing this step.

   mvn install:install-file 
   -Dfile=MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic-maven-plugin.jar -DpomFile=pom.xml
   

   Typical command output is like the following:

   Note:

   Because the mvn install command downloads Maven dependencies from the Internet which are required for the successful execution of Maven goals, you must have run mvn install at least once on your local machine.

4. Use the Maven plug-in by employing either of the following methods:

   • From the command line—By invoking a goal from the command line.

     For example, using the goal full name to deploy:

     mvn com.oracle.weblogic:weblogic-maven-plugin:deploy
     

     Or, optionally, if you've configured using the shortened command-line goal invocation (see Step 5):

     mvn weblogic:deploy
     

   • From a POM file—By including the Maven plug-in in the application's pom.xml file.

     You add the plug-in into any life cycle phase of the project. Optionally, you can add a goal to any of the default Maven life cycle phases by adding an executions tag in the pom.xml file. The goal is then bound to that particular phase of the Maven life cycle. For example, as shown in Example C-1, the goal is bound to the "install" phase of the Maven life cycle. By doing this, every time you run the mvn install command, the deployment plug-in is also called.

     Example C-1 Maven Project pom.xml File

      
        
         
           com.oracle.weblogic 
           weblogic-maven-plugin 
           10.3.4 
            
               t3://localhost:7001
               weblogic 
               weblogic123 
               true 
               deploy 
               false 
               true 
     ${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.${project.packaging} 
              ${project.build.finalName} 
            
            
        
         . 
         . 
         . 
       
      
     

5. Optionally, you can shorten the full invocation of the plug-in by providing a pom.xmlfile, as shown in Example C-2, and modifying the settings.xml file located in your $HOME/.m2 directory, before you provision the plug-in in your Maven repository.

   1. Change the settings.xml file as follows:

      
      
         
         com.oracle.weblogic
       
      

   2. Replace the MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/pom.xml file with the following:

      Example C-2 pom.xml File

      
        4.0.0
        com.oracle.weblogic
        weblogic-maven-plugin
        maven-plugin
        10.3.4
        Maven Mojo Archetype
        http://maven.apache.org
        
          
            org.apache.maven
            maven-plugin-api
            2.0
          
        
       
        
         
            
             maven-plugin-plugin
             2.3
             
               weblogic
             
            
          
        
       
      
      

   3. From within MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/, provision the weblogic-maven-plugin.jar in your local Maven repository as follows:

      mvn install:install-file 
      -Dfile=MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic-maven-plugin.jar -DpomFile=pom.xml
      

   4. Now, you can use a shortened command-line goal invocation, such as:

      mvn weblogic:deploy

weblogic:update-app

Full Name

com.oracle.weblogic:weblogic-maven-plugin:update-app

Short Name

weblogic:update-app

Description

Updates an application's deployment plan by redistributing the plan files and reconfiguring the application based on the new plan contents.

Attributes

• Requires a Maven 2.0 project.

• Can have an application already deployed.

Parameters

Table C-7 weblogic:update-app Parameters

Option	Type	Default	Description
name	String	none	Required. Deployment name of a deployed application or module. If you do not specify this attribute, WebLogic Server assigns a deployment name to the application, based on its archive file or exploded directory.
plan	String	none	Required. Deployment plan to use for updating the application's configuration. The specified deployment plan must be valid for the application's target servers. For example, the plan cannot contain null variables for required resources unless those resources were previously defined in the associated descriptors. Update operations update only those descriptors for which there is a changed, not null value in the deployment plan. If a plan that is used by an update operation contains null variables, the current values in the corresponding descriptors are not updated.
planversion	String	none	Version identifier of the deployment plan.
targets	String	none	Targets on which to update the application or module. The value of this attribute is a comma-separated list of target servers, clusters, or virtual hosts.
upload	Boolean	false	Transfers a new deployment plan to the Administration Server before updating the application.
appversion	String	none	Version identifier of the deployed application.
id	String	none	Task identifier of a running deployment task. Make sure that the identifier is unique to all other running deployment tasks. The system automatically generates a unique identifier if you do not specify one.
submoduletargets	String	deploy	JMS Server targets for resources defined within a JMS application module. The value of this attribute is a comma-separated list of JMS server names. See Using Sub-Module Targeting with JMS Application Modules and Using WLST to Manage JMS Servers and JMS System Resources in Configuring and Managing JMS for Oracle WebLogic Server.

Troubleshooting

Table C-8 describes some common Maven plug-in errors and helps you resolve them.

Table C-8 Maven Plug-In Errors

Configuration Step	Error Message	Resolution
Step 1: Generating the plug-in. java –jar wljarbuilder.jar –profile weblogic-maven-plugin	Unable to access jarfile wljarbuilder.jar	Make sure that you have issued the command from within the MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/ directory.
Step 2: Extracting the pom.xml file from weblogic-maven-plugin.		The pom.xml file is created in MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/META-INF/maven/com.oracle.weblogic/weblogic-maven-plugin/pom.xml. From this location, you must copy the pom.xml file to MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/ (see Step 2 in Configuring and Using the WebLogic Maven Plug-In).
Step 3: Provisioning the weblogic-maven-plugin.jar in the Maven repository. If the provisioning is successful, you will see a Build Successful message.	Build Error	The possible issues are: You have not created the weblogic-maven-plugin.jar (see Step 1 in Configuring and Using the WebLogic Maven Plug-In). You have not extracted the pom.xml into MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib (see Step 2 in Configuring and Using the WebLogic Maven Plug-In). You have not installed Maven properly or have not provisioned the repository (see http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-building-m2.html).
Step 4: Executing Maven goals. If successful, you will see a Build Successful message.	Failed to resolve artifact	The possible issues are: You must run the mvn install command at least once before invoking mvn weblogic:goal. This is required because there are Maven dependencies which must be retrieved from the Internet (see the Note in Step 3 in Configuring and Using the WebLogic Maven Plug-In). You have executed the mvn install command from a location other than MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/. There was no pom.xml file found under MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/.
