How to get Weblogic to run deployments in an active state (i.e. not just prepared ones)

Question

When I start a Weblogic instance with the application deployed, the deployment sometimes remains in a prepared state rather than an active state. I have to go to the Weblogic Console and start the deployment manually, which is pretty slow and annoying re-work. Since this is done on the development machine — sometimes 50 times a day — there are no security implications, since the server is displayed only on the local network. Is there a way to start an active deployment?

Please note that I am not redistributing the application, instead it is "constantly deployed" and stops / starts the Weblogic instance using scripts in the directory bin.

If you use weblogic in mode development, you can use the autodeploy folder for your application. See Details here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/deployment/autodeploy.html#wp1021620

Think this should solve your problem.
