How to deploy an application in offline mode of WLST 8.1

[harp...@gmail.com]

Hi, I am trying to deploy an application using wlst offline and am
getting an exception about not finding resource. I am at end of my
wits. any help would be appreciated. Here is sample script

readDomain('demodomain')
app=create('demoApp','Application')
assign('Application','demoApp','Target','admin')

it fails while assiging resource to target with following message:

wls_offline:/demodomain/Application/demoApp>dumpStack()
com.bea.plateng.domain.script.jython.WLSTException:
com.bea.plateng.domain.script.ScriptException: Unable to find the
specified application or service

ok, I am able to resolve it. I was missing few step there. We need to
have atleast one deployable component in there. Here is working

script:
readDomain('demodomain')
app=create('demoApp','Application')

cd('Application/demoApp')
web=create('demoWebApp','WebAppComponent')
web.setURI('demoWebApp.war')
cd('..')
app.setStagingMode('external_stage')
cd('/')

assign('Application','demoApp','Target','admin')

updateDomain()
closeDomain()
exit()
