Weblogic 12c: Import OSB jar file (sbconfig.jar) into ServiceBus 12c using WLST - weblogic

I am trying to create a script for a pipeline to deploy OSB jar file into OSB/Servicebus.
I have tried using ant-sca-deploy.xml but i see no effect on GUI.
Is there any way to do this using wlst commands?
How are you doing this in your Projects?

OSB can be deployed using ANT or maven .you can also use python script alternatively.

log4j2 for MULE 3 CE patch update

I need some information of log4j2 for updating our central versions of Mule CE 3.9.0 and Mule CE 3.9.5 (CE=Community Edition).
What is the best way to protect them and does downloading only jar files from Apache site https://dlcdn.apache.org/logging/log4j/2.12.3/ be useful to patch Mule CE 3.9?
Regards
As a summary you only need to find the vulnerable jars in the mule-server and in the mule flows deployed in the apps folder.
A Java project is a set of java class and libraries with complex dependencies relationship, but easy to replace one of them (manually or automated with maven), so no matter how or where log4j is being used, we just need replace the jar file.
mule community server 3.9.0
In this version, with this command find . -type f -iname "*log4j*" we will get the log4j jars:
As we can see, the version prior to the 2.14.x
log4j-jul-2.8.2.jar
log4j-jcl-2.8.2.jar
log4j-slf4j-impl-2.8.2.jar
log4j-core-2.8.2.jar
log4j-api-2.8.2.jar
log4j-1.2-api-2.8.2.jar
But according to the official maven repository, this version is affected too :(
Just the 2.17.0 is safe to use
Source: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.logging.log4j/log4j-core
If this change breaks your mule, just delete the specific vulnerable class:
zip -q -d
log4j-core-*.jar org/apache/logging/log4j/core/lookup/JndiLookup.class

mule flow or mule app
This is not the server, is the app developed by programmers, packaged as .zip and deployed to the mule apps folder in the server.
In this layer, the app can ignore completely the server configurations and has its own jar versions.
If you don't use maven (rare), you need to search and replace the jar, app by app, similar to the server with find command but in the specific app folder:
/opt/mule_server/apps/my-mule-app
If you use maven, you could find if the jar is used with the pom.xml previewer of Eclipse Ide or with command mvn dependency:tree. Check this:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/68916675/3957754
Remember: If you not use directly this jar, you need to check if mule esb server uses it.
Here some tips from manual to automated pipelines:
mule esb monolithic with manual deployment
In this case you need to fix the server and your apps.
for the server, backup, stop, search the jar on lib folder and replace it with the 2.17 (after vulnerability fix) and start. Test if everything is working
for the mule apps, the process is the same: stop the mule server, go to your mule apps and one by one, search the jar and replace it. Start the mule server and test if everything is working
git repository , maven and one mule app by server
In this case, you don't have a big server with a big mule containing a lot of mule apps/flows. You have one light server for just one mule app.
Just search the dependency in your pom with maven and replace it.
Push your changes and in the next deploy( manual or automated) your mule app will be fixed.
Also note that this approach fix the app, not the server.
git, docker
If you are using docker, the things are easy. Just search the Dockerfile (usually in a git repository). In this file there are a lot of sentences, since the java installation until the star of mule server.
Choose the exact line between the download of mule and the start of server and put a sentence which replace the jar file
Next deploy will pick you new image version and that's all.
automated flow(devops)
Here you are using maven, gi, docker and some ci server. You just need:
update the git repository of your mule app (maven)
update the git repository of your docker image
deploy your fix using the ci server.
With this, you will not need human access to the production servers to fix your java application ( mule)

Can we automate Weblogic deployment process?

I want to automate the deployment process of weblogic as everytime I have to first stop,delete,upload and start the war.
You can automate the deployment process using WLST where you need to execute jython script.
The script will be executed under WLST environment, which you may find at below location
<obiee_home>/u01/app/obiee/oracle_common/common/bin
You can refer good article for complete deployment process.

Deploying appfuse app on cloudbees as war

I have appfuse maven project , is it better to deploy it using Click start Tomcat or as a Jenkin Maven project? I have tried both but it does not seem to be working in any ways. I have created database and bound it to the app. still it gives error for spring bean creation etc. Can anyone help in this scenario?
If I would need to deploy my appfuse maven application on CloudBees platform, I will try two different ways:
Use the Tomcat 7 Maven ClickStart as a template changing the SCM to your repo.
Use the CloudBees SDK to deploy your application.
In this last case, you just need to generate your .war file, in case you use maven, launching:
mvn clean package
And then you can deploy your application from the CLoudBees SDK using:
bees app:deploy -t tomcat7 -a APPID MYFILE.war
You say that when you deploy your application it gives error for spring bean creation. However, you don't attach any stacktrace to your question, so it is difficult to do any kind of diagnosis on our end.

Glassfish v2 asadmin "deploy" jar files

Is there a way in glassfish v2 asadmin utility to copy jar files into the server lib or the domain's lib? I want to do a remote deployment using hudson on a different box so i have a script that executes a bunch of asadmin commands.
asadmin deploy moves your deployable code to the autodeploy directory making glassfish aware of its existence to deploy. I believe copying a simple library out there won't net any effect without proper deployment descriptors. In any event I don't think the asadmin deploy would have access to your domain/lib or server/lib directory but rather only your application directory structure itself.
To do what you are trying to achieve, it sounds more like writing a simple ant script.

maven tomcat plugin or cargo plugin?

The spring source code examples use maven tomcat plugin and i am able to run these projects using the command mvn tomcat:run but what i dont see the application is not deployed in local tomcat server("C:\apache tomcat\webapps\")..
And how it is different from cargo plugin? (In this case when i ran the command mvn cargo:redeploy, i see the application deployed in the location "C:\apache tomcat\webapps\")
If i add cargo plugin to the POM of spring examples (like mvn-showcase,petclinic)..will it screw up the things?
The spring source code examples use maven tomcat plugin and i am able to run these projects using the command mvn tomcat:run but what i dont see the application is not deployed in local tomcat server("C:\apache tomcat\webapps\")
The command tomcat:run starts an embedded Tomcat, it doesn't deploy an application to your local Tomcat (why does it matter anyway?).
And how it is different from cargo plugin?
Cargo is a container agnostic tool so you could configure it to use a remote container, a locally installed container, an embedded container (as long as implementations are provided for a given container) and still use an unified API (or set of commands).
In this case when I ran the command mvn cargo:redeploy, I see the application deployed in the location "C:\apache tomcat\webapps\"
Cargo doesn't support running Tomcat+6.x in embedded mode. So you are very likely using it with a locally installed container and your app gets physically deployed on it.
If i add cargo plugin to the POM of spring examples (like mvn-showcase,petclinic)..will it screw up the things?
It won't screw up anything, why would it.
You can use tomcat maven plugin and deploy it to external tomcat server.
see this link for all the available goals. tomcat-run will start a embedded server but tomcat:deploy works for external tomcat.
