Book description

BEA® WebLogic Platform 7 is a fast-paced introduction to the new WebLogic Platform. The focus of this book is to provide you with an in-depth knowledge of the WebLogic Platform 7.0 product and how you can leverage its capabilities and new features to create, configure, manage, and monitor an optimal operational environment for your J2EE applications. Hence, the primary technical topics discussed in this book fall under the realm of WebLogic Server Administration. This book covers in J2EE concepts and how to develop J2EE applications targeted for the WebLogic Platform.

  • Become versed on the capabilities, new features and technical architecture of the WebLogic Server 7.0.

  • Master how to install and efficiently configure a WebLogic Server.

  • Configure the WebLogic Server to use BEA¿s performance-based JRockit JVM.

  • Leverage the WebLogic Server¿s administration and deployment tools.

  • Extend a WebLogic Server domain through the introduction of remote managed servers.

  • Configure network resources for your WebLogic Servers.

  • Implement an administration and monitoring framework using Node Manager in conjunction with the WebLogic Server¿s new Self-Health Monitoring System.

  • Activate and configure your WebLogic Server¿s logging capabilities.

  • Architect and implement highly available and scalable application deployment solutions using the WebLogic Server cluster.

  • Optimally package J2EE Web and Enterprise applications and deploy them to your WebLogic Server.

  • Performance tune the WebLogic Server¿s internal subsystems.

  • Optimize the WebLogic Server¿s default HotSpot JVM.
