What is Weblogic Server ?

Oracle WebLogic Server is the industry's best application server for building and deploying enterprise Java EE applications with support for new features for lowering cost of operations, improving performance, enhancing scalability and supporting the Oracle Applications portfolio.

Course Topics
Introduction to Weblogic Application server Overview of Architectures Installation and Configuration Creation and working using Domain Weblogic Server Directory Structure Managing and Monitoring WLS Node Manager Overview Basic Deployment Advanced Deployment Introduction to Clustering Configuring Cluster Data Sources Understanding JMS Security Thread and Heap Management

Introduction to Weblogic Application server Origin of Weblogic Application Server What is Application Server Features of Weblogic Application Server Weblogic Server Architecture Difference between Webserver and Application Server Differences between Weblogic 8.1, 9.2, 10g, 11g

Architecture
Two Tier Architecture Three Tier Architecture Where does Weblogic application server fit in Three Tier Architecture

Two Tier Architecture

The two-tier architecture is like client server application. The direct communication takes place between client and server. There is no intermediate between client and server.

Advantages: Understanding and maintenances is easier. Disadvantages: Performance will be reduced when there are more users.

Three Tier Architecture

Three tier architecture having three layers. They are Client layer Business layer Data layer Client layer: Here we design the form using textbox, label etc. Business layer: It is the intermediate layer which has the functions for client layer and it is used to make communication faster between client and data layer. It provides the business processes logic and the data access. Data layer: it has the database. Advantages Easy to modify with out affecting other modules Fast communication Performance will be good in three tier architecture.
