Want to run BEA System's WebLogic Server on OS X? The first step is to download the 'generic' version of WebLogic Server (WLS) 9.0. I used the HP-UX 11 version for Itanium processors. The downloaded file is named server900_generic.jar. To install, simply open up Terminal.app and type:

$ java -Dos.name=unix -jar server900_generic.jar

When you press return, the graphical installer will run and install WLS 9.0. Native libraries that provide a performance boost will not be used on Mac OS X, but this will allow the server to be installed and start up. I've posted a (slightly more detailed) write-up on my own blog.

Disclaimer: I work for BEA Systems (Federal), and they do not support WebLogic Server on Mac OS X.

There is currently no way to download this "generic" version. I have downloaded the HP version and used "unzip" to extract the contents and it does not contain the jar file referenced in the post. So, this really isn't a "tip".

Unless I am missing something...

Try going to the download site and looking for "all versions" of the WebLogic Server.

Here is a link to the download page: http://commerce.bea.com/showallversions.jsp?family=WLS

Make sure you download WebLogic Server 9.0 for HP-UX (11iV2, Itanium, since I know that is bundled as server900_generic.jar

Hope this helps...

Yes, you do need a login & password. The registration is pretty painless and no sales droids will harass you. :-)
