In this lesson, we shall create a simple Hello World page in JDeveloper and test it using internal Weblogic server. We can also deploy it to any of the managed servers, ideally a custom managed server. If not already done, make sure WebCenter extension is installed using “Help | Check for Updates | Oracle WebCenter Framework and Services Design Time 11.1.1.x”.
Create a new Webcenter application using “File | New | General | Applications | Webcenter Application”.
Oracle recommends custom webcenter applications created in JDeveloper be deployed to a custom managed server. This server needs to be different from any of the three pre-configured managed servers created during the installation or to the Administration Server.
Here are the steps to create a custom managed server for Webcenter applications. Detailed information is available from Oracle documentation.
Login to Weblogic Administration Console.
From “Domain Structure” section in the left side bar, navigate to “<your-domain>/Environment/” and click on Servers.
