Random Stuff About Stuff

Weblogic setup and install series

April 23, 2014

So I ended up with several posts on setting up weblogic.
I thought it would be best to have a page that collects them together and to put the scripts mentioned onto github.

Machine setup and initial notes

Setting up the entropy pool on Red Hat if needed

Setting the type of random used is WLST is slow

Creation

Set up a Weblogic domain

Set up a Weblogic ‘machine’

Set up a Weblogic dynamic cluster

Link the Weblogic ‘machine’ and cluster

Set up Weblogic datasources

Running

Use boot.properties to start Weblogic

Possible Problems

Out of permgen

Localhost not known

MyRealm failed to load

Configuration

Connecting to NodeManager in production mode

Store login securely for WLST scripts

Weblogic Plugin settings for dynamic cluster

Control location of standard out for Weblogic servers

Customise the Weblogic Admin Console

Service

Startup service for Weblogic under Redhat
