Starting a weblogic server

[Guest_imported]

I want to know if it is possible to create a weblogic instance that points to a directory for the web application rather than having to create a WAR file, since for testing I think this is a bit extreme.

Any help on how to repoint the weblogic server would be appreciated.

Sure, I do it all the time. Your directory structure must still match the Web Application Deployment Structure. This is commonly called an "exploded" WAR.

To deploy, you can go onto the WebLogic Console and Configure a New Web Application pointing it to your directory.

If you have WebLogic set to automatically deploy everything then you should only have to restart.
