Installation
The Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) has support for only a limited number of deployment targets by default. To enable the use of Oracle WebLogic with JVM COBOL web services, you need to install a plug-in, which is available via the Eclipse Marketplace. To install the plug-in:
- Launch an instance of Eclipse.
- Click
Help > Eclipse Marketplace.
- In the
Find box, type
weblogic and press
Enter.
- Click
Install next to the adapter called
'Oracle WebLogic Server Tools.
- On the Confirm Selected Features page, clear
Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tools, and ensure
Oracle WebLogic Server Tools is selected.
- Click
Confirm.
- On the Review Licenses page, accept the license agreement, then click
Finish.
The WebSphere Developer Tools are installed for Eclipse.
- Click
Yes when prompted to restart Eclipse, to finish the installation.
You now have the ability to create a dynamic web project, which links to an Oracle WebLogic server instance. If you cannot see the
dynamic web project option, click
Show All Wizards in the new project window. The software installation can sometimes disable certain project options, but you can enable them this way.
Note: This is not a full installation of Oracle WebLogic; it simply allows you to enable WebLogic with JVM COBOL web services. The full installation of Oracle WebLogic is beyond the scope of this tutorial.
