Converting the weblogic.properties File to XML Files

Note: The conversion utility described above specifies the Java home location in the weblogic.xml file. It reads this location using the System.getProperty(java.home), which means that it will specify the Java home location on which WebLogic Server was started for the conversion.

„It is strongly recommended that you not edit the config.xml file directly. Access the configuration through the Administration Console, a command line utility, or programmatically through the configuration API. For details on configuring WebLogic Server Web Components, see Configuring WebLogic Server Web Components in the Administration Guide.

„Security properties are stored in the fileRealm.properties file located in domain. For information about using a security realms in WebLogic Server 7.0, see Customizing the Default Security Configuration.

„The weblogic.common.ConfigServicesDef API, which provided methods to get properties out of the weblogic.properties file, has been removed from this version.

For more procedures for converting your weblogic.properties file, see the Console Help documentation.

For a list of which config.xml, web.xml, or weblogic.xml attribute handles the function formerly performed by weblogic.properties properties, see “The weblogic.properties Mapping Table”.

The startup scripts, which are generated when a weblogic.properties file is converted, are named:

zstartdomainName.cmd (for Windows users)

zstartdomainName.sh (for UNIX users)

where domainName is the name of your domain directory.

These scripts exist under the domain directory in your WebLogic Server 7.0 distribution and start the administration server in the new domain.

See Starting and Stopping WebLogic Servers in the Administration Guide for more information on scripts and starting servers.
