Deploying an Angular app to a Weblogic server - java

I'm trying to figure out how to deploy an Angular.js app to a Weblogic server and am getting stuck. The goal is to have a Java Servlet running a REST API to communicate with the weblogic server while the Angular app serves up the front-end.
Typically, I used a gulpfile to build my Angular application and bower to manage the dependencies. I can't figure out how to fit the Java Servlet into the build though, and what to do about deploying the app to the weblogic server.
I read that grunt and bower can be used to generate Maven files which would then be installed as artifacts on the local repository, but it isn't making much sense to me. Has anyone done something similar to this before and have advice?

Oops. all right!?
I'm currently having to develop applications in AngularJS to be used in an application server. Specific tasks that the Gulp can provide, I will be flawed if i try to say something as use Grunt (grunt-contrib-war), but on the issues architecture're, i created e install 2 aplications to the weblogic, usually with CrossOrigin defined between them. therefore its development is separated, Service layers and consumption layer.
In a larger scope could consider using:
Service-web
Service-oauth
Service-rs
ApplicationA
ApplicationB
P.S .: Searching in npm to found: https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-war

How to deploy an application [Looking for advice]

First, I don't know anything about deployment.
Here is my application :
I got a rest API backend using Spring Boot with a MongoDB using MongoLab. My frontend is built using React (webpack, cypress).
I have this full application on gitlab in the same repo, with different folders (ie backend, frontend).
Where can I deploy this application? I guess I need to deploy separately those services. If you guys have any advice and give me some tutorials I could follow. What URL can I use like api.example.xx for back and example.xx for the front ?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you
Your question is too broad to get a summarised answer. I will give you a few hints that you can expand on.
For starters, since you do not know so much about deployment, I will recommend that you learn with a single machine than with multiple IP addresses. (no Docker, Kubernetes etc. just your applications on different ports)
NOTE: below are the tools you will need to familiarise your self with before this attempt.
linux terminal / GitBash for windows
SSH (communication with your server)
Git (repository managament and versioning)
Github / Bitbucket
Hosting services
Below are a few providers you can use to get you up and running although there are a turn other providers.
Linode hosting services - paid
Amazon Web services - paid/free
Netlify - paid/free
Heroku - free
All these provide you with either a terminal or GUI to deploy/maintain your applications.
Deployment
First, you will need to install all your application dependencies on the server of your choice. i.e. Databases (Mongo for your case) and other applications that support your app. (The same way you did on your local machine)
making sure that your project has the right configurations(passwords, reference URLs, etc.)
See here on How to deploy your spring-boot application
In the meantime, you can try hosting your ReactApp on Netlify and see how it works
As you said you already have it in Gitlab right,And if you want an easy solution and a way out of deploying world then you might want to consider using netlify
it makes deploying as easy as eating a piece of cake, just
Signup
Click on "New site from Git" Button
Select Gitlab in your case
Select the project you want to deploy and for netlify to install
It automatically detects build command and that's all, waits for your permission to build.
Once build is completed you can preview your application(there is a button for that in right corner) and then confirm your deployment.
*Plus it automatically deploys the changes in your git i.e pull requests,
you can choose whatever name you want your website to be(but should be available)

REST API Deployment for Spring MVC

Currently I'm learning to build a REST API (backend) with the ionic application (frontend), but I'm facing an issue in backend REST API deployment. Thus, I'm asking this question to get some clues and answers related to REST API deployment, since I'm really new and no clue how to deploy a REST API. I had checkout some tutorial on youtube, but it seem like most of the example in videos are not using the technologies or environment that same as the REST API I built. The following shown the technologies I used to built my system frontend and backend:
REST API (BACKEND):
Language: Java, Spring MVC Framework
Database: Hibernate, Oracle SQL Developer
Web App Build Technology: Gradle, Gretty (To app start my application)
Ionic Application (FRONTEND):
Technologies: Angular Framework, HTML, CSS
How the application is working in localhost?
STEP 1: I will app start using Gretty plugin in gradle
STEP 2: I active the command "ng serve" (ionic serve) to run my ionic application
STEP 3: After both frontend and backend is successfully run, now I can access the provided link that generated from ng serve to access my web app and do anything I want.
Everything is working perfectly in local system, but it is different case when I test my ionic web app through my smartphone (Since ionic allows us to build progressive web app). The frontend ionic application will not able to communicate with backend when the operating environment of frontend is not in local system and I know it's really make sense, since my backend REST API haven't deploy which only able to operating on localhost. Therefore, I'm have tried to find solution on youtube and other internet sources to deploy my rest api online, but I don't see any information or deployment video that using the same technologies as I used to built my rest api (Spring MVC, oracle developer, gradle).
Thus, I'm asking this "stupid" question in here to find out whether any solution to deploy my rest api? or any suggestion to change the technologies that I used to built my rest api? or any mistakes I had made which violate the best coding practice in building rest api.
As a new programmer, I really appreciate the answers from all you guys. Thank you.
First, let's explain some concepts:
You backend is the application you coded, deployed on a server that exposes an endpoint for access - e.g. http://localhost:8080/yourApp - where your host/domain is your current computer (localhost) and the port is 8080 or anything you setup.
If you want to access from you smartphone:
1) Since your app is hosted on your pc, you need to be connected to the same wifi network
2) From your host machine, where you deployed your app, look for your ip address.
open your console/terminal
type ipconfig/ifconfig
look for your wifi and copy ipv4 address
3) redeploy your frontend pointing to your host machine ip
It worked before because you where on the same machine (localhost means redirect to your own device). When you switched to your phone it, also, redirects to your own smartphone.

Simple things about jelastic & jetty

I create maven project with dependencies. Than write simple jetty server which return html page on request. Simple "Hello World" application. Now i want relocate it on jelastic cloud, but can't understand how.
When creating cloud on jelastic you can add jetty server, but i need run my own. Maybe i need connect my servlets or another things. Or maybe i can run server.jar file which assembled by maven.
My google traveling failed. I even not imagine what i must search. Pls help me.
Indeed, you can't up your own servers on the native containers. Moreover, such containers don't provide the root access for a customer.
If you want to run your own server you can use either VPS or Docker solution in Jelastic Cloud.

Deploy Java restful web service to live server

I have just learned to create java rest API using jersey and Oracle database.
I'm developing in eclipse and using weblogic server to run and test web service on localhost.
My question is what are the options of live servers to deploy this service so that I can access this API in my android application or any web application???
You can do that. But you have to make sure that all the dependent jars are packaged with the your WAR project(eg; Oracle db related things).
Some blog entries which give you an idea about what are all these servers and which one to pick for open development and common standards - http://blogs.forrester.com/mike_gualtieri/11-07-15-stop_wasting_money_on_weblogic_websphere_and_jboss_application_servers,
and this one http://zeroturnaround.com/rebellabs/the-great-java-application-server-debate-with-tomcat-jboss-glassfish-jetty-and-liberty-profile/
This will give pretty good idea about what is all these servers :)

How can i change deployed application to webserver from application server?

I am having a web application which is deployed in oracle weblogic application server. After getting analysed, i found that there is no need for application server(atleast for this application), i am in need to deploy this application into the oracle weblogic web server.
can anyone help on this, how can i change deployed application to webserver from application server ?
Or in a different words, i can say how can i migrate my application deployment from oracle weblogic application server to oracle weblogic web server ?
I am using weblogic 10. and Maven to build the application
About the application, it is using Apache axis, webservices, jsf, and few java classes.
Thanks in advance!
I've recently migrated one application from WAS to tomcat
The approach i followd is.
Identify and remove all the WL specific dependencies / jars (that you may not need of)
Change the build script to generate .war instead of .ear
deploy the generated .war to any servlet container/ webserver
with your specs (axis,ws,jsf) you dont need a .ear but .war will do.
if you are using ant modify your build script, i'd suggest go for maven for better dependency management
building of top of the answer by #TechExchange
even for Jboss, you still need to analyze the application to remove all WL specifics.
Ex: Descriptors for EJB's MDB's and so on.
with JBOSS you can still use the ear format.
A quesiton, you had mentioned that because you found that the application doesn't need a app server you decided to migrate it to web server, now with JMS in the picture do you still need to move?
