Creating a Deployment Plan in Oracle WebLogic

Oct10
2013

Written by Ben Garin

Deployment Plans

Deployment plans can be used by administrators to override application settings and variables without modifying the actual jar/war/ear file contents.

Creation

Creating a deployment plan for a deployed application.

Open a Web browser and go to http://<hostname>:<port>/console.
Log in as the administrator.
In the Change Center, click Lock & Edit to enable configuration changes.
Navigate to <domain_name>, then Deployments.
Click on the <application_name> you are creating a deployment plan for.
Click on the Configuration tab.
Click Save.
Enter the path and name of the deployment plan and Click OK.
In the Change Center, click Release Configuration.

Customization

Customizing a deployment plan involves 2 parts, creating variables and assigning them.

Creating Variables:

Variable definitions should be entered below <application-name> inside the <variable-definition> tag.
Each variable requires a <name> and <value> tag.

Example:

 <application-name>upload</application-name>
<variable-definition>
<variable>
<name>secureCookie</name>
<value>true</value>
</variable>
</variable-definition>

Assigning Variables:

Variable assignment needs to take place in the correct <root-element>, which in most cases is weblogic-web-app.
Depending on the variable assignment, it needs to be in the correct <uri> tag. The example below shows a variable assignment which would normally exist in the WEB-INF/weblogic.xml file.
Each variable assignment requires a <name> and <xpath>. The <name> is the name of the variable with a value created above and the <xpath> is the context path or tags in which the variable exists.

So normally in the weblogic.xml file this would look like:

<weblogic-web-app>
<session-descriptor>
<cookie-secure>SOME_VALUE</cookie-secure>
</session-descriptor>
</weblogic-web-app>

But in the <xpath> each tag is separated by a / resulting in:

/weblogic-web-app/session-descriptor/cookie-secure

Example:

 <root-element>weblogic-web-app</root-element>
<uri>WEB-INF/weblogic.xml</uri>
<variable-assignment>
<name>secureCookie</name>
<xpath>/weblogic-web-app/session-descriptor/cookie-secure</xpath>
</variable-assignment>

Full Deployment Plan Example:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<application-name>upload</application-name>
<variable-definition>

<value>true</value>

Middleware> Secure Liferay Session Cookie (JSESSIONID) in WebLogic

Aug19
2013

Written by Scott Rowley

Extract the WEB-INF/weblogic.xml file from your liferay.war:

jar -xvf WEB-INF/weblogic.xml

Edit WEB-INF/weblogic.xml

vi WEB-INF/weblogic.xml

Add the following to the <session-descriptor> tag:

<cookie-secure>true</cookie-secure>

Update your liferay.war file

jar -uf liferay.war WEB-INF/weblogic.xml

Now redeploy your liferay.war (update or delete/install) and your cookie should be changed to Secure: Yes.

BASH> Fix vi arrow keys in insert mode

Mar28
2013

Written by Scott Rowley

Full credit to Michael S. Kirkpatrick

The following fix saved my sanity

I prefer using vi as my text editor, because it is clean and simple. I don’t have to go searching for commands from drop-down boxes and other GUI crap. But arrow keys and backspace are sometimes problematic, depending on the OS you’re using. In my case, I frequently ssh from Linux to SunOS, and the SunOS vi doesn’t like my keyboard mappings.

FNFmod.online. complaints Masseurfinder

Here is my (partial) solution. Open ~/.exrc and add the following lines. In case it is not obvious, do not type the letters inside brackets, but press those keys instead (i.e., [ctrl-v] means you hold the Ctrl key while pressing v).

— Michael S. Kirkpatrick

:map! [ctrl-v][backspace] [ctrl-v][esc]xa
:map! [ctrl-v][up-arrow] [ctrl-v][esc]ka
:map! [ctrl-v][down-arrow] [ctrl-v][esc]ja
:map! [ctrl-v][right-arrow] [ctrl-v][esc]la
:map! [ctrl-v][left-arrow] [ctrl-v][esc]ha

When you type these in (assuming you’re using vi or vim, these lines will look like this.

:map! ^? ^[xa
:map! ^[OA ^[ka
:map! ^[OB ^[ja
:map! ^[OC ^[ha
:map! ^[OD ^[la

BASH> Functions

Mar22
2013

Written by Scott Rowley

The beginning of a list of any functions I have created or found and deem useful:

This function will allow you to type “up ANY_NUMBER” and move that many directories up in the current directory tree you are in. If you you do not specify a number and instead just type ‘up’ by itself you will automatically go up just one directory.

function up ()
{
if (( $#> 0 )); then
COUNTER=$1;
else
COUNTER=1;
fi;
while (( ${COUNTER}> 0 )); do
UP="${UP}../";
(( COUNTER=${COUNTER}-1 ));
done;
echo "cd $UP";
cd $UP;
UP=''
}

Some servers don’t have ‘watch’ installed so I’ve made my own function to replicate it’s basic functionality (updated to work with pipes!)

function mywatch () {
while true
do
clear
date +'%D %r'
echo ''
cmd=`echo $@`
#echo "Command is '$cmd'"
last=`echo $@ | awk {'print $NF'}`
num='^[0-9]+$'
if [[ $last =~ $num ]]; then
cmd=`echo $cmd | sed "s^$last^^g"`
eval "$cmd"
sleep $last
else
eval "$cmd"
sleep 2
fi
clear
done
}

Useage:

mywatch "ls -al" 5

If a second parameter ($2) is not supplied (in this case 5) then 2 will be used and your watch will refresh every 2 seconds.

Easily locate problem directories when space is low on a server. Add the following function to your profile (.profile / .bashrc / etc)

function spaceHog ()
{
du -k | sort -n | awk '
BEGIN {
split("KB,MB,GB,TB", Units, ",");
}
{
u = 1;
while ($1>= 1024) {
$1 = $1 / 1024;
u += 1;
}
$1 = sprintf("%.1f %s", $1, Units[u]);
print $0;
}'
}

Useage:

[17:25:51][user@server][ ~ ]
[$]> spaceHog | tail -10 # To show the 10 largest, change this number as desired.
247.5 MB ./bin
247.8 MB ./.cache/google-chrome/Default

Delete (rm) a file by it’s inode number

Occassionally I will (or others will) run a command that ends up accidentally creating some goofy named files such as ‘?[01’. This is actually a character so you can’t just type it in to delete it. For this you can lookup the file name by it’s inode and then delete it.

You can do an ls with an -i option to get the inodes, for example:

[$]> ls -ali
total 8
295188 drwxr-xr-x 2 sasowner sas 4096 Dec 30 11:26 .
295064 drwx------ 23 sasowner sas 4096 Dec 30 11:26 ..
295406 -rw-r--r-- 1 sasowner sas 0 Dec 30 11:26 file1
295407 -rw-r--r-- 1 sasowner sas 0 Dec 30 11:26 file2
295408 -rw-r--r-- 1 sasowner sas 0 Dec 30 11:26 file3
295409 -rw-r--r-- 1 sasowner sas 0 Dec 30 11:26 file4

You could then follow this up with a command such as:

[$]> find . -inum 295409 -exec rm {} \;

However, you probably won’t use this command often enough to remember it unless you are regularly familiar with the find command. Instead, I’ve create the following simple function:

function rmi ()
{
find . -inum $1 -exec rm -i {} \;
}

Then simply type the following after getting the inode of the file

[$]> rmi ######
