WebLogic access log files

Many times in development side, we want to access log files for a remote weblogic.
One easy way (to avoid several constraints) is to have like-a webpage to see these files.

This can be achieved easily with weblogic.xml parameters:

Different WebLogic Server Tools
Bunch of tools to help WLS admin, debugging, etc.
  1. This first version is a war file to access log files from remote client through an HTML file generated by WLS.
  2. the core idea is to show the directories/files of a particular server, this way we can debug easily.

The weblogic.xml is:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wls:weblogic-web-app xmlns:wls="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app/1.3/weblogic-web-app.xsd">
