How to correctly deploy a EAR file on Oracle Weblogic administrator console

Question

I have an EAR file that I have built from my existing maven web application. I want to deploy the same on the Oracle Weblogic Server Administrati

Rather than filling up the comments I thought I would write this as an answer and update it as we go.

Have a look at this question. I posted this a while ago when I had a similar issue. Maybe it will help.

Also, here is another link about the weblogic maven plugin. It may be worth trying to use this. In my experience with JBoss I found it more reliable than trying to deploy using the admin console. If nothing else it should give more helpful error messages if there is a problem.

UPDATE:

Ok, so I had a look at my project and here is the relevant part of the EAR pom.xml

<modules>
  <webModule>
    <groupId>com.traintrack</groupId>
    <artifactId>traintrack-web</artifactId>
    <contextRoot>/TrainTrack</contextRoot>
  </webModule>
  <jarModule>
    <groupId>com.traintrack</groupId>
    <artifactId>traintrack-core</artifactId>
    <bundleDir>lib</bundleDir>
  </jarModule>
etc
</modules>

I get the feeling that the contextRoot attribute may be what you need to set. So in my case I would point my browser to http://localhost:8080/TrainTrack. The EAR will then be deployed in such a way that it knows anything with that context root is to be forwarded to the WAR.

Hope that helps, if not please post your pom.xml files and we can go over them, maybe in chat if that suits.
