8.4.1 How to Deploy to the Application Server from JDeveloper

Before you begin: Create an application-level deployment profile that deploys to an EAR file. To deploy to the target application server from JDeveloper: 1. In the Application Navigator, right-click the application and choose Deploy deployment profile .

2. In the Deploy wizard Deployment Action page, select Deploy to Application

Server and click Next. 3. In the Select Server page, select the application server connection. 4. If you are deploying to a WebLogic Server instance, the WebLogic Options page appears. Select a deploy option and click Next.

5. Click Finish.

During deployment, you can see the process steps displayed in the deployment Log window. You can inspect the contents of the modules archives or exploded EAR being created by clicking on the links that are provided in the log window. The archive or exploded EAR file will open in the appropriate editor or directory window for inspection. If the adf-config.xml file in the EAR file requires MDS repository configuration, the Deployment Configuration dialog appears for you to choose the target metadata repository or shared metadata repositories, as shown in Figure 8–3 . The Repository Name dropdown list allows you to choose a target metadata repository from a list of metadata repositories registered with the Administration Server. The Partition Name dropdown list allows you to choose the metadata repository partition to which the applications metadata will be imported during deployment. You can use WLSTwsadmin scripts, Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Tool, or WebSphere Administrative Tool, respectively, to configure and register MDS. For more information about Note: When you are deploying to Oracle WebLogic Server from JDeveloper, ensure that the HTTP Tunneling property is enabled in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. This property is located under Servers ServerName Protocols. ServerName refers to the name of Oracle WebLogic Server. Note: JDeveloper does not support deploying applications to individual Managed Servers that are members of a cluster. You may be able to target one or more Managed Servers within a cluster using the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console or other Oracle WebLogic tools; however, the cluster can be negatively affected. For more information about deploying to Oracle WebLogic Server clusters, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide. Note: If you are deploying an ADF application, do not use the Deploy to all instances in the domain option. Deploying an ADF Java EE Application 8-29 managing the MDS repository, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide.
