We installed Flex 2 and Cairngorm 2 under BEA WebLogic J2EE application server.
I believe BEA WebLogic is one of most stable and powerful J2EE server
I found a strange behavior for deploying the Flex 2 Web Application Archives: flex.war and flex-admin.war file.
Using WebLogic in order to deploy you have to do the following:
- Select Deployments
—> Web Applications to invoke the Web Application table. - Click on the link Configure a new Web Application which invokes the Create a new WebApp Component configuration page.
- Fill in the fields appropriately (a name for the configuration entry for this component, the URI pointing to this component, the path to the WAR file ....
- Click Create to create the new component entry.
- You can choose to deploy the component on either target Managed Servers or target clusters. Click on Targets
—> Servers for deploying the component on target Managed Servers. Click on the Targets—> Clusters for deploying the component on target clusters. - The Available field lists Managed Servers (or Clusters if you selected Targets
—> Clusters). Select the Managed Servers (or clusters) on which this Web Application is to be deployed by using the arrow buttons to move them to the Chosen field. Click Apply for your change to take effect.
But for the Flex 2 WAR files, WebLogic is not able to deploy it as Application Archive files.
To make it works you have to unzip the content of the flex.war and flex-admin.war into the two folders named flex.war and and flex-admin.war, then deploy them.
