Upgrading Your Java EE Applications 4-3
4.4.2 Guidelines and Resources for Upgrading Deployment Descriptors for Oracle WebLogic Server
To prepare your applications for WebLogic Server deployment, you must remove OC4J-specific deployment descriptors and replace them with their equivalent
WebLogic Server specific settings.
For a successful deployment, examine each of the deployment descriptors and perform one the following actions for each deployment descriptor feature used by the
application:
■
If the OC4J deployment descriptor feature has a direct mapping within the equivalent WebLogic Server specific deployment descriptor, then use the
equivalent WebLogic Server descriptor with the appropriate elements and values.
■
If the OC4J deployment descriptor feature does not have a direct mapping, then review the appropriate Oracle WebLogic Server documentation.
Features that are not directly mapped to Oracle WebLogic Server deployment descriptors can often be achieved by configuring the WebLogic domain
accordingly.
Table 4–2 provides a list of documentation resources that will help you upgrade your
deployment descriptors to Oracle WebLogic Server.
