Weblogic WSLT in modular python script

I'm creating a script to automate creation of JMS resources in a declarative way using wslt.sh. This way I just need to run wslt.sh create_resources.py planned_resources.properties

create_resources.py imports another module of mine import include.jms as nmjms. This include/jms.py calls cd and cmo of the WSLT.

The problem is, calling cd doesn't change the state of cmo in the jms.py module, so that I can't execute context related commands on cmo after the cd invocation. This is frustating...

Solution

First, create a module wl.py with the folowing code :

# Caution: This file is part of the command scripting implementation. 
# Do not edit or move this file because this may cause commands and scripts to fail. 
# Do not try to reuse the logic in this file or keep copies of this file because this 
# could cause your scripts to fail when you upgrade to a different version.

"""
This is WLST Module that a user can import into other Jython Modules

"""
from weblogic.management.scripting.utils import WLSTUtil
import sys
origPrompt = sys.ps1
theInterpreter = WLSTUtil.ensureInterpreter();
WLSTUtil.ensureWLCtx(theInterpreter)
execfile(WLSTUtil.getWLSTCoreScriptPath())
execfile(WLSTUtil.getWLSTNMScriptPath())
execfile(WLSTUtil.getWLSTScriptPath())
execfile(WLSTUtil.getOfflineWLSTScriptPath())
exec(WLSTUtil.getOfflineWLSTScriptForModule())

theInterpreter = None
sys.ps1 = origPrompt
modules = WLSTUtil.getWLSTModules()
for mods in modules:
    execfile(mods.getAbsolutePath())
jmodules = WLSTUtil.getWLSTJarModules()
for jmods in jmodules:
    fis = jmods.openStream()
    execfile(fis, jmods.getFile())
    fis.close()
wlstPrompt = "false"

Next, import this module in your jms.py module and call wlst commands like this : wl.cd('...')
