Controlling Oracle WebLogic 12c with Cargo Maven Plugin 1.2.2

Cargo is a really nice piece of software that comes handy when developing web apps, by enabling deployment on a significant number of JEE containers at a very low price of some configuration parameters.

The current version (1.2.2) has support for Oracle WebLogic up to 10.3.x; however, with some very little modifications it can handle 12c as well.

The following snippet should be quite self-explanatory: let ${weblogic.home} be the directory where you have WebLogic installed.

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
  <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.2</version>
  <configuration>
    <container>
      <containerId>weblogic103x</containerId>
      <type>installed</type>
      <home>${weblogic.home}/wlserver</home>

      <dependencies>
	<dependency>
	  <location>${weblogic.home}/patch_wls1211/profiles/default/sys_manifest_classpath/weblogic_patch.jar</location>
	</dependency>
	<dependency>
	  <location>${weblogic.home}/patch_ocp371/profiles/default/sys_manifest_classpath/weblogic_patch.jar</location>
	</dependency>
      </dependencies>
      
      <log>${cargo.log}</log>
      <output>${cargo.output}</output>
      
      <systemProperties>
	<java.endorsed.dirs>${weblogic.home}/wlserver/endorsed</java.endorsed.dirs>
      </systemProperties>
    </container>
    <configuration>
      <properties>
	<cargo.weblogic.bea.home>${weblogic.home}</cargo.weblogic.bea.home>
      </properties>
    </configuration>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Update

I made this post into a feature request and the Cargo team included it in the next release 1.2.4.
Open Source rulez! ;-)
