FileNotFoundException when deploying in local Oracle WebLogic

Question

I need to create a local environment to deploy an EAR, which is currently in production.

By documentation, it needs:

• Java EE 7
• Oracle WebLogic 12.1.2
• Maven

Installed everything fine and configured, but this is my first time with Java Enterprise and WebLogic. I downloaded WebLogic from the official website (the 12.1.3 version, which is the only one available for a development installation). Executed all scripts to create a local domain, realm and server. It starts fine.

So, I proceeded generating the EAR within the source code, using mvn ear:ear and created the package.

Connected to localhost:7001/console and logged in, went into the Deployments Control page and clicked in install button. Browsed the EAR and deployed without changing any default configuration. It leads me to an error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [env.properties] cannot be opened because it does not exist

I thought it was a file missing inside the EAR package, but I opened it with both Eclipse and WinRAR and the env.properties file is present, in the right path. So I tried deploying the EAR package that is currently in production, but it still gives this error.

At this point, I think it's some WebLogic configurations I missed. Am I right? Where should I eventually check?

I can NOT share any code snippet, I'm sorry.

Answer 1

We still have to understand if it's like this by choice, but the WAR file inside the EAR actually didn't have the properties file. It was sufficient opening it with WinRAR, put the file in the right path and re-deploy it.

So, just to say, WebLogic had no missing configurations. The downloadable development package seems to have everything configured.
