Deploying Spring Boot 2.x applications in WebLogic Versions 12.2.x is simpler than deploying those in WebLogic 12.1.x using Gradle build. I was struggling with the deployment of 2.x applications in 12.1.x version of WebLogic. There is no issue if you use Maven to build. But, using the Gradle build is complicated. But, finally, after some research got the solution and deployed successfully. Today, I will demonstrate how to deploy 2.x applications in 12.1.x version of WebLogic. Let's start. For my project, I'm using below tech stack:
a. Gradle 4.5+
b. Spring Boot 2.1.1.RELEASE
c. Java 8
d. WebLogic 12.1.3.1
e. javax.servlet 4.0.1 (Excliptly defining because of older WebLogic)
