Hi,

For the record, I was just able to get this working by doing the
following:

1) Create a directory called "DefaultWebApp" under the "applications"
directory

2) Copy the WAR file to the DefaltWebApp directory

3) Unzip the WAR file in-place

4) After I unzipped the WAR file, I was able to fix the weblogic.xml
file in the WEB-INF directory

5) Once I did all that, WebLogic seems to be happy (no warnings).
