Validate user entered weblogic location

Question

Is there any standard way to check if the value entered by user for weblogic location is correct or not? Basically, the application that I'm developing requires user to enter the weblogic location. I would like to check if the path entered by user is correct and also display the version of weblogic detected.

Answer 1

I have installed my weblogic at

/home/oracle/Middleware/

I can get the version using the directory:

/home/oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3/

And, I can make sure about the installed weblogic by locating the jar:

/home/oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/weblogic.jar

Answer 2

The program probably uses its name in its files, so the below command will show it.

whereis weblogic

If the program came as a package, try

for .deb: dpkg -l | grep weblogic
for .rpm: rpm -q weblogic
