SearchBlox - Getting started with Weblogic.
Note: SearchBlox must be deployed to the Weblogic Server using a exploded WAR directory. SearchBlox will NOT deploy correctly when deployed as a WAR archive. 

1. Extract searchblox.war, using for example the Java jar tool or a regular unzip command. On Windows, applications like WinZip work as well. Extract the files into a directory or sub-directory named searchblox, for example C:\xxxx\searchblox. 
2. Start the WebLogic Server Administration Console for the domain in which you will be working. 
3. In the left pane of the Console, expand the Deployments folder, right-click Web Application Modules, and select Deploy a New Web Application Module. This initiates the Deployment Assistant. 
4. Using the Deployment Assistant, locate the searchblox subdirectory which contains the exploded WAR files. WebLogic Server will deploy all components it finds in and below the specified directory. 
5. When you have located the searchblox sub directory to configure, click Target Application. 
6. If you have more than one server or cluster in your domain, select the one on which you want to deploy your new Web Application and click Continue. If you have just one server in your domain, go to the next step. 
7. Enter searchblox as the name for the Web Application in the Name field. 

If you have more than one server or cluster in your domain, click whether you want to copy the file to each server. 
8. Click Deploy. The Console displays the Deploy panel, which lists deployment status and deployment activities for the Web Application. After a few seconds, the status will change to "Success".
