Start Weblogic 8.1

[Scott Maclary]

I just downloaded and installed Weblogic Server 8.1 and it appears to be running (at least an example web app runs on http://machine-name:7001/index.jsp). I didn't start it and it's not listed as a windows service...so how is it running?

In Tomcat, you either have to start it as a windows service or else from the command line where you can clearly see that it is running (bc your DOS window is open). How do I simply start/stop Weblogic Server 8.1?

Thanks,
Scotty

In your domain, you should have a file called startWeblogic.cmd and stopWeblogic.cmd. You can also stop weblogic from the console.

So on my local machine, I have bea8.1/user_projects/user_domain_name/. Under this folder you should have the start and stop command files.

A WebLogic Server runs as a process within a JVM. Each JVM can host only one server process. To start a server, you initiate a JVM with a set of arguments and execute the weblogic.Server class.

You can run a server as a Windows service on bootup (requires a key in the Windows Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services); from the Windows Start Menu; and from a startup script. If there is no Windows service, then WebLogic Server must have been started by one of the other two means.
