Weblogic Config Files - weblogic-application.xml, weblogic.xml, application.xml, web.xml

I am aware of 4 configuration files we use for WebLogic :

  1. web.xml
  2. weblogic.xml
  3. weblogic-application.xml
  4. application.xml

What is the purpose of using each of these files ?

Solution

  • The web.xml is the standard JEE descriptor for a WAR file. The application.xml is for the EAR file. The weblogic.xml and weblogic-appliation are WebLogic specific files for the WAR and EAR respectively. See sections A and B here:
