About UIX Deployment to WebLogic

ADF UIX applications require file system access through the application context for dynamic image and style sheet generation. The BEA WebLogic Application Server requires certain classes of web applications, including those that require file system access, to be deployed as an exploded archive directory rather than a single archive file.

Before deploying a UIX application to WebLogic, make sure the following setup prerequisites have been met:

Run the ADF Runtime Installer to add the ADF libraries to your WebLogic instance.
Right-click the deployment profile of your UIX project in the Navigator and generate an EAR file for your application.
Copy the generated EAR file to your WebLogic instance.

Then complete the deployment according to the instructions found in the Quickstart Guide to Deployment of the WebLogic Server documentation, at edocs.bea.com.

An overview of the required steps are as follows:

Follow the instructions found in Step 1 of the "Quickstart Guide to Deployment" in the WebLogic Server documentation for expanding the EAR file into a directory.
If the EAR file contains WAR files, expand them, too.
Delete the expanded EAR and WAR archives.
Follow the remaining steps in the "Quickstart Guide to Deployment" to finish deploying the UIX application to WebLogic.
