WLST: deploy application but do not start it -- how?

I need to script an EAR deployment to Weblogic 9.2. Extra requirements I have though are:

  • Application Name shall be the one I provide, not just EAR name
  • Application is deployed in Prepared state, not Running one

As far as I can tell, when I use deploy(), the name is got assigned by me (good!), but application starts right away (bad! other services are not ready yet!).

Can anyone point me to a correct way of doing that?

Solution

  • I think that what you're looking for is distributeApplication, not deploy (also see Administration Mode for Isolating Production Applications).

    For the application name, why don't you set it in the deployment descriptor?
