where domain_name is the name of the domain. This will also be the
subdirectory which has the configuration file that will be used to boot the
domain.
The configuration repository consists of the domains under the
/config
directory. The configuration repository may contain a variety of possible domain
configurations. Each such domain is located under a separate subdirectory, with
the subdirectory name being the name of that domain. When you specify
domain_name you are thus specifying this subdirectory name. The subdirectory
thus specified contains the XML configuration file (
config.xml) and the
security resources for that domain. The file
config.xml specifies the
configuration for that domain.
The domain configuration with which the Administration Server is started
becomes the active domain. Only one domain can be active.
n If you want to override the default WebLogic Server stream handler for HTTP
and HTTPS protocols, create an implementation of
java.net.URLStreamHandlerFactory and specify it on the command line
like this:
-Dweblogic.net.http.URLStreamHandlerFactory=factory_class
The factory class must be specified on the command line because a factory can
be set only once for each URL protocol per JVM instance. Your factory class
must have a
main() method which can perform any one-time initialization
required, and then must call
java.net.URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory()
with an instance of the class.
Your factory must implement the
createURLStreamHandler() method, which
returns an instance of your custom
java.net.URLStreamHandler
implementation for arguments of “http” and “https”. For other all other
protocols, it should return null. See the Javadocs for
java.net.URL for details
about how the URLStreamHandlerFactory is located.
n You can also specify values for WebLogic Server configuration attributes on the
command line. These values become the runtime value for that attribute, and any
value stored in the persistent configuration is ignored. The format for setting a
runtime value for a WebLogic Server attribute on the command line is:
-Dweblogic.attribute=value
n The auto-deployment feature, which is turned on by default, does polling of the
\applications directory of the active domain to detect changes in deployed
applications. This feature only works on the Administration Server, because the
