This README file explains the behavior of applications 
within this directory in both production and development modes.

The applications in this directory are deployed if you are
running the WebLogic(tm) Server in development mode or if
they are already configured in the config.xml file in any
of the the domains in the %WLS_HOME%\config\<yourdomain> 
directory. 

They are not deployed if you are running in production mode
and they are not listed in config.xml.

To change the mode:

1. With a text editor, open the start script for your domain.

2. Edit the line that begins set STARTMODE= to add the value
true or false. True is for production mode, and false is for 
development mode.

When the server starts, it loads and deploys any applications 
that have configuration information in the config.xml file, 
whether you are using production or development mode. 

If you are running in development mode, it also deploys any 
examples stored in the ..\applications directories. This is 
called dynamic deployment.

If you shut down the server, the configuration information 
for any applications that were dynamically deployed is written 
to the config.xml file in the application's domain.
