Getting Started with Oracle WebLogic Server 12c: Developer's Guide

Chapter 2. Setting Up the Environment

In this chapter we're going to set up all the software required to implement and execute the code that we will be writing along the book. More specifically, we're going to:

  • Install JDK Version 1.7, which will be used by the application server and the development environment

  • Install Oracle WebLogic Server and Eclipse OEPE binaries

  • Install a MySQL RDBMS server and configure a database

  • Create and configure a WebLogic domain

  • Configure the Eclipse IDE to recognize the WebLogic Server

  • Install and configure an OpenLDAP server

About the directory structure


While writing this book, a couple of Unix-like operating systems were used, more specifically Mac OS X and Ubuntu. So, when referencing a directory path, the format adopted is /some/folder. If you are a Windows user, the equivalent path would be C:\some\folder.

The base folder used in the book is /opt/packt/. Inside it, we're going to add a few more folders to accommodate the necessary components. Here's the basic structure you have to create before moving on to the next section:

/opt/packt/
  |- domains
  |- etc
  |- install
  |- workspace

Of course, you don't need to follow the preceding definitions. If so, just remember to change the references accordingly, when mentioned.

Tip

Microsoft Windows users: Whenever asked to choose a directory name, remember to select or create one without spaces to avoid potential problems later on.

Installing JDK 1.7


Since Oracle WebLogic Server 12c offers support to both Java SE 6 and 7, we're going to use the newest version, so we can code using a few developer-friendly features, such as the diamond operator and multicatch statements, as outlined in the The Project Coin section in Chapter 1, Overview of WebLogic Server 12c and Related Technologies.

  1. Access the download page at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

  2. Click on the DOWNLOAD button at the top of the page, or the one in the JDK column inside the Java Platform, Standard Edition table. At the time of writing, the newest JDK version was 7u21.

    Note

    Remember that we need a JDK, not a JRE.

  3. On the next page, click on the Accept License Agreement option button and select the appropriate package for your system inside the Java SE Development Kit 7u21 table:

    Tip

    Downloading the example code

    You can download the example code files for all Packt books you have purchased from your account at http://www.packtpub.com...

Installing Oracle WebLogic Server


Oracle WebLogic Server's installation is pretty straightforward; we just need to pay attention to the Java SDK selection in order to use the one we just installed.

  1. Navigate to the download page at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/weblogic/downloads/index.html.

  2. Click on the Accept License Agreement option button.

  3. Right below the option box, there's a drop-down list with five entries. Select the entry Generic WebLogic Server and Coherence installer (880MB) and click on the Download File button.

    Note

    Another option is to download the zip distribution; with barely one fifth the size of the generic installer, it includes all core artifacts, leaving out samples, the Derby database, and web server plugins, among other features. Also, there's no way to apply patches to this installation.

    If bandwidth is a concern, go ahead and get this file instead of the generic one. Check the README.txt file inside the package for instructions on how to install and configure...

Installing Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE)


The installation package we got doesn't come bundled with a development environment (Oracle JDeveloper, NetBeans, or Eclipse/OEPE). To create the book's applications, we decided to use Eclipse along with Oracle's application server plugin, OEPE, which is a great tool for Java EE development, integrating the IDE with WebLogic Server and other Java EE application servers. Perform the following steps to install it:

  1. Navigate to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/eclipse/downloads/index.html.

  2. Click on the option button for Accept License Agreement, choose the Eclipse version that runs on your system, and click on it to start the download.

  3. After the download completes, unzip the installer in the directory $MW_HOME/oepe and it's done.

    Tip

    OEPE's newest version, 12.1.2.1, is based on Eclipse 4.3 Kepler, the most up-to-date version of Eclipse.

Installing MySQL


In order to explore Java Persistence, we need to install and configure a database server, and MySQL is a logical choice, being widely adopted and lightweight.

The software is available to several operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Debian, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Red Hat, Solaris, Mac OS X, and so on.

Installing on Linux using a package manager

If you are using a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu or Red Hat, most likely you already have the software available, you just need to install it with a command like this (you may want to update your repositories and packages to be sure that your system is up-to-date):

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

Note

The stable version at the time of writing is 5.5.27, but most likely the repositories have older versions, for instance, 5.1 on Ubuntu 11. This version is pretty much enough to run the code we're going to explore throughout the book, so you can go ahead and install it.

The system is going to suggest a lot of other...

Preparing PrimeFaces


PrimeFaces is a suite of components built on top of JSF 2.x, giving you lots of first-class widgets to use on a Rich Internet Application (RIA) solution, such as charts and mind maps. Its only requirement is to choose between Oracle Mojarra and Apache MyFaces, both JSF 2.0 implementations, and to reference the chosen one. The current implementation version at the time of writing is 3.5.

Tip

Oracle WebLogic Server 12c comes with a JSF 2.0 implementation (Oracle Mojarra) enabled at its classpath, so we don't need to download anything but PrimeFaces.

Downloading the binaries

To use PrimeFaces, we must download it from http://www.primefaces.org/downloads.html. You can choose between Binary, Source, and Bundle packages.

Tip

To follow the book, getting the binaries is enough, but if you plan to use PrimeFaces for real work, the Bundle option would be a good idea, since it includes the binaries, source code, API Javadocs, and taglib documentation.

The official documentation is a...

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.

Tip

Concepts related to how to configure an Oracle WebLogic Server environment—domains, clusters, machines, and so on—are covered in Chapter 10, Scaling Up the Application. For now, we only have to know that we need an instance to run the projects on, and it is part of a domain, which is the component that OEPE links to.

To create it, follow the ensuing steps:

  1. Start the Configuration Wizard script, config.cmd (Windows) or...

Configuring Eclipse and OEPE


The next step is to configure the Eclipse IDE so it knows about Oracle WebLogic Server's installation, the domain we created, and PrimeFaces' shared library.

Linking WebLogic's runtime environment

First, we're going to tell Eclipse where to find WebLogic's runtime environment:

  1. Launch the Eclipse IDE by running the following command:

    $MW_HOME/oepe/eclipse
    

    Or open the shortcut created by the installation process.

  2. Enter /opt/packt/workspace on the Workspace Launcher screen.

  3. Open the Preferences screen using the menu – Window → Preference.

  4. In the filter field, type server, click on the Runtime Environment entry and then the Add... button.

  5. In the new window, type 12c in the filter field, select the entry Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.1.2) and click on Next.

  6. Fill the field WebLogic home with the path where you installed the server—$MW_HOME/wlserver—and the other fields should be filled automatically:

  7. Click on Finish to close this window and return to the Preferences screen...

Referencing MySQL databases


The last step is to configure the data sources that the application is going to use at WebLogic, and create links to these databases at Eclipse. This kind of connection is a data source (DS) inside WebLogic Server.

Tip

In earlier versions of WebLogic Server, you were supposed to configure both a connection pool and a data source. Now, both concepts are contained within a data source, which is a logical move—sharing a pool of connections but not the link to it (the data source) may lead to problems, since no application could predict if others were using the underlying pool, and worst yet, how.

Creating WebLogic data sources

As we just finished enabling the domain at Eclipse, we can start the server from there:

  1. In the Servers tab, right-click on the domain name and then Start from the context menu, or if you prefer to start it manually, OEPE will synchronize to show that the server is up and running.

  2. The focus will switch to the Console tab. After 15 to 30 seconds,...

Using OpenLDAP


OpenLDAP is a cross-platform, free, and open source implementation of a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server, released under a BSD license. It was started in 1998 and since then has had active development and constant releases, being widely adopted by many commercial-grade systems and applications.

Although WebLogic server includes its own embedded LDAP server for default security management, it's neither used nor recommended for application-specific security management. That's when third-party LDAP servers and products are recommended and offer much more flexibility and features for a real-world scenario.

Tip

Note that you can use WebLogic embedded LDAP for the examples in this book, although we do recommend the experience of creating and configuring an Authentication Provider outside WebLogic.

In this section we're going to provide general guidelines for OpenLDAP configuration, but due to the way different operating systems package the software, some configuration...

Summary


At this point, we have installed and configured the Oracle WebLogic Server, an IDE (Eclipse OEPE), and the additional pieces of software needed to develop our applications.

The following is a table with all paths and environment variables that you may have defined in your environment in this chapter:

Variable

Path

JAVA_HOME

/opt/packt/install/jdk1.7.0_21

DOMAIN_HOME

/opt/packt/domains/tickets

MW_HOME

/opt/packt/install

In the next chapter, we're going to set up the projects that will evolve throughout the book, develop the business entities, and use the libraries and packages we've just created. These projects will be deployed to the server and we will run a simple test to make sure everything is properly configured.

I was one of the tech reviewers for the book and I can say I learned a lot from it. The book touches a lot of technologies and uses all of them together to create a real world application. The book addresses Java EE 6: EJBs, CDI, Web Services, RESTful services, JavaServer Faces 2 along with prime faces, using these technologies in a way that makes sense. So, I definitely recommend it!

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
