JavaEE6 Weblogic exercice 1

Introduction

In this exercice we will write a JavaEE application that uses the new "web profile": a single project that can use JSF/JSP/Servlets/Web Services/EJBs/JPA with some limitations (no message driven beans, no timer, etc.) and one advantage: it is easier to manage as all components are located in a single project, and deployment is done in a single jar file. We will use a javaDB/Derby database for this application.

Install the different components

1. You will need to install weblogic 12c with the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (an Eclipse 3.7 for java EE developers that is pre configured with the Weblogic server plugin and some other goodies). Follow the directives of your instructor. Do not forget to create a default domain in your server. When asked for a password, please enter one you will not forget !
2. Install the JavaDB/Derby database. Follow the instructions from this page (installing a java DB database): Weblogic / Java EE6 FAQ and Guides.
3. In some other exercices we will use a mySQL database. You may want to install it now also. Just get this archive:
