Migrate Oracle WebLogic Server Configuration Files to Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6

Summary

This article describes the best approach to migrate Oracle WebLogic Server configurations to Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.

Oracle WebLogic Server Configuration File

Configuration of the Oracle WebLogic Server is centralized in the WEBLOGIC_HOME/domains/<replaceable>DOMAIN_NAME/config/config.xml file. It contains the configuration parameter settings for each server instance, cluster, resource, and service in the domain. In most cases you use the Administration Console or one of the other WebLogic tools to modify the domain's configuration and the changes are then reflected in the configuration files.

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 Configuration File

In JBoss EAP 6, the server can be run as a standalone server or in a managed domain. A standalone server is configured using the EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml file. For servers running in a managed domain, the server is configured using the EAP_HOME/domain/configuration/domain.xml and EAP_HOME/domain/configuration/host.xml files. In most cases you do not edit these files directly. You use the Management Console or Management Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure the server and the changes are reflected in the appropriate server configuration file. Complete details on how to configure the JBoss server can be found in the Administration and Configuration Guide for JBoss EAP.

Migrate the Server Configuration

Unfortunately, server configuration is a complex process and there is not an easy mapping from one application server to another. The best approach is to open the WebLogic configuration file and examine each section. Use the Administration and Configuration Guide for JBoss EAP to find information about how to perform the same configuration.
