Setting up a WebLogic domain
As you may know, after finishing the installation of Oracle WebLogic Server, you have the necessary binaries to start a container, but there is no configured server to deploy your code yet (unless you installed the samples, but we're not going to use them). To accomplish this, you have to create a domain consisting of one or more server instances. Your code runs on these instances.
We're going to use a basic domain template, consisting of just one instance, since we don't have any scalability or high availability requirements for the time being.

To create it, follow the ensuing steps:
