• Create a weblogic-application.xml (Weblogic specific) in the META-INF folder.

  Code Block
  xml xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <weblogic-application xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90"> <application-param> <param-name>webapp.encoding.default</param-name> <param-value>UTF-8</param-value> </application-param> <prefer-application-packages> <package-name>javax.jws.*</package-name> </prefer-application-packages> </weblogic-application>

The prefer-application-packages element you see above sets up WebLogic's Filtering Classloader. Each class whose package matches one of the package-name elements listed will be searched for first within the EAR before relying on the WebLogic system classloader's version. If a package for a particular class is not listed here, WebLogic will try to load its own (possibly older) version first, so if you are getting deployment errors due to any particular class you might wish to add its package here.

Also note you can, and may need to, specify other options in the weblogic-application.xml file such as XML processing factories as shown here. See the WebLogic guide for more information.

• Run "jar cvf ..." command to create the ear and then deploy it.

  Tip
  This is the recommend way to deploy since it only impacts a single module.
