4-4 Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Java EE

4.4.3 About Security Elements in Deployment Descriptor Files

If you use the suggested procedures in Section 5.3.6, Configuring Security on Oracle WebLogic Server , then the security configurations, including authentication methods, security constraints, and EJB method permissions, that are contained in standard Java EE application deployment descriptors, such as web.xml and ejb-jar.xml, can remain untouched for upgrade and will continue to function when the application is deployed to Oracle WebLogic Server. For security configurations specified in OC4J specific descriptors for example, security role mappings, see the WebLogic Server Security documentation to map each configuration to an element within the equivalent Oracle WebLogic Server deployment descriptor described in Section 4.4.1, Comparison of OC4J and Oracle WebLogic Server Deployment Descriptors .

4.4.4 Upgrading Deployment Plans

Deployment plans are a standard Java EE server capability supported by both Oracle WebLogic Server and OC4J. However, deployment plans are not portable between application servers. When you upgrade from OC4J to Oracle WebLogic Server, you must regenerate and save your application deployment plans saved as part of the deployment process on Oracle WebLogic Server. Alternatively, you can construct new deployment plans using the weblogic.PlanGenerator command line tool. For more information, see Overview of weblogic.PlanGenerator in Oracle Fusion Middleware Deploying Applications to Oracle WebLogic Server.

4.5 Task 5: Review Oracle WebLogic Server API Support

Before you can redeploy your Oracle Application Server 10g application on Oracle WebLogic Server, you must review your applications to identify the application programming interfaces referenced by the source code. For more information, refer to the following sections: ■ APIs Available With the Java Required Files JRF Domain Template ■ Other Oracle WebLogic Server API Requirements

4.5.1 APIs Available With the Java Required Files JRF Domain Template

Oracle Fusion Middleware11g provides an Oracle WebLogic Server domain template, referred to as the Oracle Java Required Files JRF template. You can use this template to create or extend an Oracle WebLogic Server domain. The resulting domain contains an updated version of some of the key capabilities and features of Oracle Application Server 10g. For more information, see Section 5.1.4, Using the Java Required Files JRF Domain Template . weblogic-webservices.xml WebLogic Web Service Deployment Descriptor Element Reference in Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Web Services Reference for Oracle WebLogic Server Table 4–2 Cont.
