Puppet instant weblogic installation module in 30 seconds

  $oracle_home = "${optpath}/oracle"
  $user_home = '/home/'
  $bea_home = "${oracle_home}/fmw11_1_1_5"

  group { 'soa' :
    ensure => 'present',

  user { 'soa':

  # create /home/soa?/.bashrc

  file { "/${user_home}/${user}/.bashrc":

    content => template('weblogic/bashrc.erb'),
    require => User["${user}"],
    owner   => "${user}",
  }


  file { "${optpath}":
    ensure => 'directory',

    require => User['soa'],
  }

 

  file { "${java_home}":
    ensure => link,
    target => "${java_home_target}"
  }

 

  file { ["${oracle_home}", "${bea_home}"]:
    ensure  => 'directory',
    owner   => "${user}",
    require => User["${user}"],
  }

 

  file { ["${optpath}/var/", "${optpath}/var/log/", "${optpath}/var/log/weblogic/", "${optpath}/var/log/weblogic/server",
          "${optpath}/var/log/weblogic/nodemanager", "${optpath}/var/log/weblogic/scripts"]:
    ensure  => directory,
    owner   => $user,
    require => User[$user],
  }


  # download WebLogic jars

  file { 'wls1035_generic.jar':
 ensure => present,
 source => 'puppet:///modules/weblogic/wls1035_generic.jar',
        target => "${software_home}/wls1035_generic.jar",
  }

  file { "${software_home}/silent_${user}.xml":
    ensure  => present,
    content => template('weblogic/silent.xml.erb'),
    require => File["${oracle_home}"]
  }


  # execute silent installation
  exec { 'weblo-silent-install':
    command => "java -d64 -jar wls1035_generic.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=silent_${user}.xml",
    cwd     => "${software_home}",
    path    => '/usr/bin:/bin',
    creates => "${bea_home}/registry.xml",
    require => [Nexus::Download['wls1035_generic.jar'], File["${software_home}/silent_${user}.xml"], ],

  }

}

all you need to do is to provide a silent.xml.erb and a bashrc.erb in the templates folder, plus the wls1035_generic.jar file in the files folder of the same weblogic module.

It might not be elegant but it's really simple and it works.
