Apache Maven is a software tool for building and managing Java-based projects. Now you can use a Maven plug-in for WebLogic Server (weblogic-maven-plugin
) to perform deployment operations similar to those supported by the command-line utility, weblogic.Deployer
. The plug-in lets you deploy, redeploy, update, and such, applications built using Maven to WebLogic Server from within the Maven environment.
To download and configure Maven on supported platforms, see http://maven.apache.org/download.html
. Be sure to read the set up instructions closely to ensure that Maven is working correctly in your environment.
For detailed information on using Maven to build applications and projects, see the Maven Users Centre at http://maven.apache.org/users/index.html
.
The following sections describe using the weblogic-maven-plugin
for deployment:
Configuring and Using the WebLogic Maven Plug-In
Follow these steps for generating, installing, and using the weblogic-maven-plugin
:
Note:
To successfully accomplish these steps, your computer must be connected to the Internet and have the necessary proxy settings configured correctly in thesettings.xml
file (typically $HOME
/.m2/settings.xml
). For further details, see http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-proxies.html
.-
Build the plug-in JAR file using the WebLogic JarBuilder Tool (
wljarbuilder
) underMW_HOME
/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/
with the following command:java -jar wljarbuilder.jar -profile weblogic-maven-plugin
The
weblogic-maven-plugin.jar
contains a Project Object Model (pom.xml
) file which specifies thegroupId
,artifactId
,version
, andpackaging
of theweblogic-maven-plugin.jar
:groupId=com.oracle.weblogic artifactId=weblogic-maven-plugin version=10.3.4 packaging=maven-plugin
These fields identify the plug-in and mark a specific place in a Maven repository, acting like a coordinate system for Maven projects.
-
Extract the
pom.xml
file fromweblogic-maven-plugin.jar
under theMW_HOME
/wlserver_10.3/server/lib
directory, and then copy thepom.xml
file toMW_HOME
/wlserver_10.3/server/lib
.For example:
jar xvf MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic-maven-plugin.jar META-INF/maven/com.oracle.weblogic/weblogic-maven-plugin/pom.xml cp MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/META-INF/maven/com.oracle.weblogic/ weblogic-maven-plugin/pom.xml MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib
-
Provision the
weblogic-maven-plugin.jar
in your local Maven repository with the following command. However, for a shortened command-line goal invocation of the plug-in, follow the directions in step 5 before performing this step.mvn install:install-file -Dfile=MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic-maven-plugin.jar -DpomFile=pom.xml
Typical command output is like the following:

Note:
Because themvn install
command downloads Maven dependencies from the Internet which are required for the successful execution of Maven goals, you must have runmvn install
at least once on your local machine. -
Use the Maven plug-in by employing either of the following methods:
-
From the command line—By invoking a goal from the command line.
For example, using the goal full name to deploy:
mvn com.oracle.weblogic:weblogic-maven-plugin:deploy
Or, optionally, if you've configured using the shortened command-line goal invocation (see Step 5):
mvn weblogic:deploy
-
From a POM file—By including the Maven plug-in in the application's
pom.xml
file.You add the plug-in into any life cycle phase of the project. Optionally, you can add a goal to any of the default Maven life cycle phases by adding an
executions
tag in thepom.xml
file. The goal is then bound to that particular phase of the Maven life cycle. For example, as shown in Example C-1, the goal is bound to the "install" phase of the Maven life cycle. By doing this, every time you run themvn install
command, the deployment plug-in is also called.Example C-1 Maven Project pom.xml File
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>com.oracle.weblogic</groupId> <artifactId>weblogic-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>10.3.4</version> <configuration> <adminurl>t3://localhost:7001</adminurl> <user>weblogic</user> <password>weblogic123</password> <upload>true</upload> <action>deploy</action> <remote>false</remote> <verbose>true</verbose> <source>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.${project.packaging}</source> <name>${project.build.finalName}</name> </configuration> <!-- <executions> <execution> <phase>install</phase> <goals> <goal>deploy</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> --> </plugin> . . . </plugins> </build>
-
-
Optionally, you can shorten the full invocation of the plug-in by providing a
pom.xml
file, as shown in Example C-2, and modifying thesettings.xml
file located in your$HOME
/.m2
directory, before you provision the plug-in in your Maven repository.-
Change the
settings.xml
file as follows:<!-- pluginGroups | This is a list of additional group identifiers that will be searched | when resolving plugins by their prefix, for example, when invoking a | command line like "mvn prefix:goal". Maven will automatically add the | group identifiers "org.apache.maven.plugins" and "org.codehaus.mojo" | if theses are not already contained in the list. | --> <pluginGroups> <!-- pluginGroup | Specifies a further group identifier to use for plugin lookup. --> <pluginGroup>com.oracle.weblogic</pluginGroup> </pluginGroups>
-
Replace the
MW_HOME
/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/pom.xml
file with the following:Example C-2 pom.xml File
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.oracle.weblogic</groupId> <artifactId>weblogic-maven-plugin</artifactId> <packaging>maven-plugin</packaging> <version>10.3.4</version> <name>Maven Mojo Archetype</name> <url>http://maven.apache.org</url> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId> <artifactId>maven-plugin-api</artifactId> <version>2.0</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-plugin-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> <configuration> <goalPrefix>weblogic</goalPrefix> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> </project>
-
From within
MW_HOME
/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/
, provision theweblogic-maven-plugin.jar
in your local Maven repository as follows:mvn install:install-file -Dfile=MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic-maven-plugin.jar -DpomFile=pom.xml
-
Now, you can use a shortened command-line goal invocation, such as:
mvn weblogic:deploy
-

weblogic:update-app
Full Name
com.oracle.weblogic:weblogic-maven-plugin:update-app
Short Name
weblogic:update-app
Description

Parameters
Table C-7 weblogic:update-app Parameters
Option | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
|
String |
|
Required. Deployment name of a deployed application or module. If you do not specify this attribute, WebLogic Server assigns a deployment name to the application, based on its archive file or exploded directory. |
|
String |
|
Required. Deployment plan to use for updating the application's configuration. The specified deployment plan must be valid for the application's target servers. For example, the plan cannot contain null variables for required resources unless those resources were previously defined in the associated descriptors. Update operations update only those descriptors for which there is a changed, not null value in the deployment plan. If a plan that is used by an update operation contains null variables, the current values in the corresponding descriptors are not updated. |
|
String |
|
Version identifier of the deployment plan. |
|
String |
|
Targets on which to update the application or module. The value of this attribute is a comma-separated list of target servers, clusters, or virtual hosts. |
|
Boolean |
|
Transfers a new deployment plan to the Administration Server before updating the application. |
|
String |
|
Version identifier of the deployed application. |
|
String |
|
Task identifier of a running deployment task. Make sure that the identifier is unique to all other running deployment tasks. The system automatically generates a unique identifier if you do not specify one. |
|
String |
|
JMS Server targets for resources defined within a JMS application module. The value of this attribute is a comma-separated list of JMS server names. See Using Sub-Module Targeting with JMS Application Modules and Using WLST to Manage JMS Servers and JMS System Resources in Configuring and Managing JMS for Oracle WebLogic Server. |
