Deployment Plans
•
A WebLogic Server deployment plan is an XML document that
can override an application’s configuration (deployment
descriptors). A deployment plan is:
–
Optional
Used to update deployment descriptor values
–
–
Useful when moving an application from one environment to
another (such as from development to test or test to production)
–
A separate file, outside of the deployment archive
plan.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<deployment-plan ... >
<application-name>timeoff.war</application-name>
<variable-definition>
<variable> ...
For more information about deployment plans, see the section “Understanding WebLogic Server
Deployment Plans” in the
Administering Server Environments for Oracle WebLogic Server
document.

Exploded Versus Archived Applications
•
An application can be deployed as a set of directories and
files. This is called an “exploded directory” application.
•
An application file and directory structure can be placed within
the appropriate archive file, and that single file can be
deployed
deployed.
•
Exploded directory applications are most often used during
development, and archived applications during test and
production.
–
There is nothing that prevents exploded application
deployments in test and production or archive file deployments
deployments in test and production or archive file deployments
during development, however.
