Running and Testing a JSF Page

By default, JDeveloper automatically configures an integrated server named Integrated WebLogic Server that references a user-specific instance of Oracle WebLogic Server bundled with the IDE. Integrated WebLogic Server is a Java EE runtime service for packaged archive deployment. Based on zero-copy deployment, Integrated WebLogic Server lets you run and test an application and its projects as a Java EE application in a Java EE container. No special connection setup is required to use Integrated WebLogic Server. You can run the entire application, a project, or individual JSF pages.

When you run a JSF application in the IDE, JDeveloper automatically:

• Starts Integrated WebLogic Server, if not already running.
• Compiles and deploys the application to Integrated WebLogic Server.
• Launches the application in your default browser using the following default address:
  http://<your_machine_IP_address>:<http_port>/<your_application_name>-<your_project_name>-context-root>/faces/<path_to_the_JSP>

  For example:
  http://127.0.0.1:7101/JSFApplication-Project1-context-root/faces/Start.jsp

To stop the application, click Terminate in JDeveloper and choose the application bound instance (for example, JSFApplication) from the dropdown menu.

Note: Terminating the application stops and undeploys the application from Integrated WebLogic Server but it does not terminate Integrated WebLogic Server.
