WL domain with ant

In the Oracle WebLogic we have option to create a domain with ant script ( build.xml ) with a specialized ant task wlserver.

Here it will create a domain and starts the server also.

Ref: Starting Servers and Creating Domains Using the wlserver Ant Task

use vi build.xml and enter the following lines then run ant in the command prompt

My Successful build.xml for Solaris where all paths, classpath which already assigned in previous domain creation types.

<project name="testant" default="all" basedir=".">

<target name="newserver">   

 <delete dir="./tmp"/>   

 <mkdir dir="./tmp"/>   

 <wlserver dir="./tmp" servername="wsant" noExit="true" domainname="wdant" host="WLHOST" port="9033" generateConfig="true" username="weblogic" password="weblogic" action="start">

  <jvmarg value="-XX:MaxPermSize=192m"/>

 </wlserver>

</target>

</project>

Execution Results as follows:

bash-3.00$ ant

Buildfile: build.xml

newserver:

   [delete] Deleting directory /export/home/wluser/testant/tmp

    [mkdir] Created dir: /export/home/wluser/testant/tmp

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 1 minute 26 seconds

[WLServer wsant] Server will not be killed due to noExit flagwsant

Noticed following changes to work it properly:

1. The folder name tmp is used for creating domain that can be domain directory path, we change it once the ant script run successful.

2. When I used the e-docs given ant script it is running the server after configuring domain with given parameters and automatically

Killing the ant generated process. To stop this added attribute noExit with true as value.

3. The default jvmags to start WebLogic Server not sufficient. it is throughing following Error:

        java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

To resolve this wlserver standalone tag changed to paired tag, and a child tag added as jvmarg.
