How WebLogic Builder Works

WebLogic Builder is a visual environment for editing an application's deployment descriptor XML files. You can view descriptor files while you visually edit them in WebLogic Builder, and you won't need to make textual edits to the XML files.

What can I do using WebLogic Builder?

Begin by pointing WebLogic Builder at an application's compiled J2EE components (*.class files or modules that contain *.class files). If any of the deployment descriptor files needed for deployment on WebLogic Server are missing or defective, WebLogic Builder will offer to generate new or newly serviceable descriptor files.

Once deployment descriptor files exist, you can edit their elements and attributes using WebLogic Builder. You can, for example, add a tag library to a web application, or add a finder method to an EJB.

Test your application by using WebLogic Builder to deploy applications to a server.

Recommended Uses for WebLogic Builder

Use WebLogic Builder for the following tasks:

- Generate deployment descriptor files for a J2EE module

- Edit a module's deployment descriptor files

- View deployment descriptor files

- Compile and validate deployment descriptor files

- Deploy a module to a server

Limitations of WebLogic Builder

WebLogic Builder has some limitations.

- Cannot add new modules to an application's descriptor files

- Will notice changes to *.class files only if you close and reopen the module

- Support for generating descriptors for EJB 1.1 beans is not guaranteed; focus is on EJB 2.0

- Validates EJBs only

- Cannot automatically display the differences between a changed but unsaved descriptor file and original file

- Cannot perform batch descriptor update of XML element values

- Cannot remove components from a module's descriptor files

- If you make changes to descriptor files while they are opened in WebLogic Builder, Builder will not be aware of the changes

- No file management capabilities

- Generated XML representations of relations among entity beans are only accurate for one-to-one relations. For entity beans that already have descriptors, Builder does not refresh relations that have a "many" side.

Starting WebLogic Builder

Start Builder from the Start menu or from the command line.

From the Start menu, double-click WebLogic Builder under WebLogic 7.0.

In the command-line, use the following command:

for Windows:

>     startWLBuilder.cmd

for Unix:

>     startWLBuilder.sh

This command sets your environment and starts WebLogic Builder.

Open a module (a JAR or an EAR or a WAR or a J2EE module in exploded format) using the File menu's Open options.

When you open a module in WebLogic Builder, you see on the left a navigational tree view of the module's descriptor files, which you use to explore and select the components of the application.

On the right, you see tabbed panels with fields and other controls for editing the deployment descriptor elements of the module.

Use the navigational tree view on the left to select application components, and edit them in the corresponding tabs in the right-hand panel.

For more information about the interface, see WebLogic Builder User Interface.

Migrating a J2EE Module to WebLogic Server

Migrate a module with no WebLogic Server deployment descriptors to WebLogic Server by opening the module using the File menu Open Archive or Open Directory.

WebLogic Builder checks that the module has all the deployment descriptor files required for successful deployment on WebLogic Server. If needed deployment descriptor files are missing, WebLogic Builder will offer to generate them for you. If you accept, WebLogic Builder will introspect the class files in your module and create appropriate deployment descriptor files.

WebLogic Builder will not overwrite your existing deployment descriptor files.

For more information about using WebLogic Builder to port applications to WebLogic Server, see Porting and Deploying Smart Ticket with WebLogic Builder.

Defining a Match Map Class

Define a match map to specify a class for URL pattern matching for your web application using the following procedure. The url-match-map element written using this procedure is located in weblogic.xml. See url-match-map.

1. Under the name of your Web Application in the navigational tree, select the Miscellaneous node and then the Container Settings tab.

2. The Redirect content (determines the value for user-readable data used in a redirect) and Redirect content type (the servlet container uses this value to set the type on the response for internal redirects) fields do not persist values entered in them. Set these values in the text of weblogic.xml.

3. Check to specify whether redirects will use absolute URLs. If unchecked, the servlet container will not convert the relative url to the absolute URL in the location header in a redirect.

4. Specify whether to check authentication on forward. If checked, the request dispatcher will check authorization on forwarded requests.

See the following sections for information about EJBs.

- Creating a Relationship Between 2.0 CMP Beans

- Adding a CMP Field to an Entity Bean

- Adding a Finder Method to an EJB

- Adding an ejb-reference Between Two Beans

Creating a Relationship Between 2.0 CMP Beans

Create a relationship between two 2.0 CMP beans using the following procedure.

1. In the navigational tree under the EJB node, right-click the Relations node and select Add a relation... Note that if your module does not have CMP beans, WebLogic Builder will not display the Relations node.

2. In the Relations dialog, enter or select a name for the relation.

3. Set the Between option to One or Many for the first bean, and select the bean.

4. Set the And option for the second bean to the desired match with the first bean's Between option, and select the second bean and click Next.

5. In the second Relations dialog, select a Role name, a CMR (Container Managed Relationship) field for the second bean, and a primary key Field for the first bean and a column for the second bean.

6. Click Next.

7. In the third Relations dialog, select the role name and optionally set bidirectional relations (CMR field and field type).

8. Click Finish.

   WebLogic Builder writes the relation to ejb-jar.xml, and an entry for the relation appears in the Relations node.

Adding a CMP Field to an Entity Bean

Add a Container Managed Persistence field to an entity bean using the following procedure.

1. In the navigational tree under EJB, expand an entity bean node and select the CMP Fields node.

2. In the CMP Fields dialog, select the field's name, which will correspond to a getter on your Bean class. For example, if you have getFirstName() on your Bean class, the name of the CMP field will be firstName.

3. Use the browse button to browse to a table name. If you are not connected to a server, the browse button will activate the Connect to a Server dialog.

4. To select the column name, click the browse button and browse the table. Select a column and click OK.

5. Set the column type.

6. Click OK.

   The new CMP field will appear in the navigational tree under the CMP node of the bean.

Adding a Finder Method to an EJB

To add a finder method to a bean, use the following procedure.

1. In the navigational tree, under the name of your entity bean, expand the bean and select Finders.

2. In the bean's Finder editing panel, click Add.

3. Select the method name, enter its properties, and click OK.

Specifying Optimistic Concurrency

You may want to set optimistic concurrency for your CMP entity beans when parallel transactions seem unlikely to conflict or when speed of response times is more important than certainty that transactions have not conflicted. WebLogic Builder's default setting is pessimistic concurrency. To set optimistic concurrency, do the following.

1. With an entity bean selected in the left navigational panel, select Tuning -> Cache. In the Concurrency strategy selection field, select Optimistic.

   A dialog offers to let you select the Verify column and the Optimistic column to map the entity bean to a table.

2. Select Version or Timestamp in the Verify column to enable the Optimistic column field.

3. You can use the Browse button to connect to a server, browse a database, and select a column, or you can type the column name directly.

Adding an ejb-reference Between Two Beans

1. In the navigation tree, expand an EJB and select Resources.

2. In the EJB's Resources editing panel, select the EJB Refs or the EJB Local Refs tab and click Add.

2. In the Tuning panel, set the following caching conditions.

   - Enter a the name of a concurrency strategy.

   - Check or leave unchecked the option to cache between transactions.

   - For a cache, set maximum number of beans in cache, idle time-out, and read time-out.

   - For cache reference, select the entity cache name and set the estimated bean size.

Choosing a Security Realm

Set a security realm for a module using the following procedure.

1. In the navigational tree, select the WebLogic Application Settings node.

2. In the WebLogic Application Settings editing panel, select the Security Realm tab.

3. In the Security Realm tab, enter the realm name.
