Downloading and Installing WebLogic 7.0

You can download WebLogic Server from the BEA site at www.bea.com. BEA provides you with a fully functional trial version of this server for 30 days (from the installation date), which provides ample time for running the examples within this book at the suggested pace of 21 days. BEA also provides thorough online documentation for WebLogic Server and its services at www.weblogic.com. BEA also provides a suite of examples included when you download the server. We advise you to learn the examples in this book before you run other examples.

At www.bea.com, click on the Download link to download BEA WebLogic Server 7.0. If you aren't a registered user, you must register first, and then log in to the site. You proceed by choosing the platform that you'll be installing the WebLogic Server under from the Choose A Platform drop-down list. In this appendix, we'll cover an installation for the Microsoft Windows 2000 platform. For other platforms, please follow the installation instructions provided by BEA (for which a link will be provided on the download page). With that mentioned, please proceed by picking Microsoft Windows NT/2000 from the Choose A Platform list.

Click on the NET INSTALLER link, and when requested, save the file net_platform701_win32.exe to your hard drive. You may select the directory of your choice. However, we recommend using the c: empdirectory of your computer as a temporary holding ground. When the download is complete, work through the following list to complete the installation process:

1.
Double-click on the downloaded file net_platform701_win32.exe; the Installer will prompt you to select the BEA home directory, and the components you want to install. Select c:ea as the BEA home directory, which we call BEA_HOME directory. Check only on the “WebLogic Server” components to be installed. (If you've previously installed any BEA product, you already have a BEA home directory; in that case, you should use the same home directory for this server's installation. Otherwise, create a new BEA home directory.)

2.
Later, the installer will ask you where you would like to keep the installation temporary files. Use the same directory as before (c: emp). When you are presented with the option of whether to perform a typical installation or a custom installation, elect to perform the typical installation and resume by clicking the Next button. When downloading the archives is completed, the Installer will prompt you to enter the server installation directory. You choose c:eaweblogic701, which we call the WEBLOGIC_HOME directory.

3.
Next, the file installation will begin. When it completes, you'll be presented with the Run Configuration Wizard, to start configuring your server.
