Thanks in advance for your time. I need to explain a little bit of the background before I get to my issue so thanks again for reading.
After installing the Windows version of Weblogic 10.3 and deploying my application on my localhost, I started up the server. So when I startup the server, the console says non-critical internal application uddi was not deployed, so was consoleapp and wlstestclient.
BEA-149617 Non-critical internal application wlstestclient was not deployed. Error: [Deployer:149158] No application files exist at 'wlstestclient'.
According to Webogic docs, these are to be expected:
BEA-149617 Warning: Non-critical internal application name was not deployed.
Error: message Description Internal Application name was not deployed. Application may not have been installed. Cause: Internal Application may not have been installed. Action: Install WLS internal Application by running WLS installer and choosing the relevent option.
Now, I already have Weblogic8.1 on my machine, so I copied uddi.war and its properties from the server/lib directory and got around the first issue. I also have Weblogic10.3 installed in a whole different location (this is used with simple Eclipse not Weblogic Workshop, for a totally different project). Since they are both the same version, I copied the consoleapp and console-ext directories from server/lib and put them under this server's server/lib.
So when I restart Weblogic, it does find consoleapp when I point to http://localhost:7001/console and actually tries to deploy it the first time. However, I get a 503 - Service unavailable. From the stacktrace, basically it looks like it couldn't load the console webapp. In other words, my trial for hacking it did not work :(
When I checked again on the Oracle site, I see 2 exes for Weblogic Workshop 10.3 on Windows: Oracle Workshop for WebLogic 10.3 - Net Installer & Oracle Workshop for WebLogic 10.3 - Package Installer. I had used Package installer the first time. Should I be using Net installer? What is the difference? The package installer is bigger in size, they are both 32 bit which is what I have.
I am trying to not uninstall and reinstall - but is that my only option? Any ideas how I can get consoleapp to deploy? I have not used WLS installer before.. any gotchas there? Thanks again for your time.
