How to run WLST in windows?

Question

I tried to run WLST (on Windows XP) but i always get java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: weblogic/wlst
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: weblogic.wlst
        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
        at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
        at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
        at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
Could not find the main class: weblogic.wlst.  Program will exit.

I tried to run *user_projects/domains/my_domain/bin/setDomainEnv.cmd* and *wlserver_10.3/server/bin/setWLSEnv.cmd* but without any success, i always get this NoClassDefFoundError when i run java weblogic.wlst myscript.py. What should i do?

Answer 1

To invoke WLST:

<WL_HOME>/common/bin/wlst.cmd myscript.py

Example:

C:/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3/common/bin/wlst.cmd myscript.py

The reason for your error is, weblogic.jar is not present in your CLASSPATH environment variable.

Answer 2

You don't need to do that every time you run the batch file.

1. From "My Computer" or "Computer" (depending on your version of Windows)
2. Click "Properties" or "System Properties"
3. Click "Advanced System Settings"

4. Add these user Environment Variables

   WL_HOME=C:/Oracle/Middleware/wlserver_10.3
   

   and

   CLASSPATH=.;%WL_HOME%/server/lib/weblogic.jar
