Overview

Use this tab to set the deployment order and staging mode of the application. The deployment with the lowest deployment order value will be deployed first.

Available staging modes are:

1. nostage: does not copy application files to another location.

   A server in nostage mode will run applications deployed to it directly from their source directories. In this mode, the web application container detects changes to JSPs and servlets.

2. stage: copies application files to server targeted in deployment

   The stage mode means that the application will automatically be copied to the staging directory on the server. The servers will initialize and run the application from this directory.

3. external_stage: the user, and not WebLogic Server, copies application files to the server's staging directory.

   The deployment should be copied to a directory with the same name as the application name under each target server's staging directory.

   The external stage mode means that the application will be run from a staging directory, to which an external entity is expected to distribute the files. This mode is useful in environments that are managed by third-party tools.

Attributes

Attribute Label | Description | Value Constraints
--- | --- | ---
Name | The name of this configuration. WebLogic Server uses an MBean to implement and persist the configuration. MBean: weblogic.management. configuration. WebAppComponentMBean Attribute: Name | Configurable: yes Readable: yes Writable: yes
Name | The name of this configuration. WebLogic Server uses an MBean to implement and persist the configuration. MBean: weblogic.management. WebLogicMBean Attribute: Name | Configurable: yes Readable: yes Writable: yes
Path | Return a URI pointing to the application component, usually on the Admin Server. MBean: weblogic.management. configuration. WebAppComponentMBean Attribute: URI | Configurable: yes Dynamic: yes Readable: yes Writable: yes
Path | The location of the original source application files on the Admin Server. Relative paths are based on the root of the Admin Server installation directory. It is highly recommended to use absolute paths to minimize possible issues when upgrading the server. If the application is not being staged (StagingMode==nostage) then the path must be valid on the target server. The path to an Enterprise application (EAR) is the location of the .ear file or the root of the EAR if it is unarchived. e.g. Path="myapps/app.ear" is valid. If the application is a standalone module then the path is the parent directory of the module. e.g. If the module is located at myapps/webapp/webapp.war, the Path="myapps/webapp" is correct, whereas Path="myapps/webapp/webapp.war" is incorrect. MBean: weblogic.management. configuration. ApplicationMBean Attribute: Path | Configurable: yes Readable: yes Writable: yes
Staging Mode | The staging mode of this application, which overrides the managed server's StagingMode attribute. Staging involves distributing the application files from the admin server to the targeted managed servers' staging directory. Staging values are: 1. nostage: does not copy application files to another location 2. stage: copies application files to server targeted in deployment 3. external_stage: the user, and not WebLogic Server, copies application files to the server's staging directory MBean: weblogic.management. configuration. ApplicationMBean Attribute: StagingMode | Default: null Valid values: "nostage" "stage" "external_stage" Configurable: yes Readable: yes Writable: yes
Deployment Order | A priority that the server uses to determine when it deploys this Web Application relative to other Web Applications. Web Applications with the lowest Deployment Order value are deployed first. There is no guarantee on the order of deployments with equal Deployment Order values. There is no guarantee of ordering across clusters. MBean: weblogic.management. configuration. WebAppComponentMBean Attribute: DeploymentOrder | Minimum: 0 Maximum: 2147483647 Default: 1000 Configurable: yes Dynamic: yes Readable: yes Writable: yes
