Running the Application

The JDeveloper IDE includes a Java EE runtime service for packaged archive deployment called Integrated WLS. Based on zero-copy deployment, Integrated WLS lets you run and test an application and its projects as a Java EE application in a Java EE container. Integrated WLS server instances can be bound to applications and then started, stopped, and debugged.

By default, JDeveloper automatically configures a server instance named DefaultServer that references a user-specific instance of Oracle WebLogic Server bundled with the IDE. No special connection setup is required to use DefaultServer. You can run the entire application, a project, or individual JSF pages.

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

• Starts the DefaultServer instance, if not already running.
• Compiles and deploys the application to the DefaultServer instance.
• 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/adfm-mvc-context-root/faces/br-o.jspx

To stop the application, on the JDeveloper toolbar click     Terminate  and choose the application bound server instance from the dropdown menu.

Note:  Terminating the application stops and undeploys the application from DefaultServer but it does not terminate the DefaultServer instance.
