This month I've decided to explore some of the more advanced performance enhancements that you can use if you are using EJB 2.0 on WebLogic. Our container-managed persistence (CMP) engine exposes several strategies for you to configure to get the most efficient - meaning least - ... (more)

The Java Management API (JMX) has been integral to managing the WebLogic Server since WebLogic 6.0. Through this API you can search for management beans (mbeans) within the application server and query them for both configuration information and runtime monitoring information. In... (more)

EJBs have always been the best way to ensure that your applications were portable and would leverage all the optimizations of the J2EE server. Now they are also easy to build. With the release of WebLogic Platform 7.0, you can create EJBs in record time. At the center of this rev... (more)

WebLogic Server 7.0 contains the most advanced, performant, and standards-compliant Web service stack of any application server. With an additional download (until the JAX-RPC specification goes final - it may by the time you see this article - see http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/101.j... (more)

Working at a software company and watching products evolve over the years, "Migrate Early, and Often"is the best advice I can give someone who is trying to stay on the cutting edge of technology. Obviously, if you have an application that's in production with no problems and you ... (more)

Development and deployment. These are the foci of the WebLogic Platform 7.0 release. Don't get me wrong, it's not like we haven't been working on the container itself, we still have J2EE 1.3 compliance and some really high ECPerf numbers. We have, though, released with the produc... (more)

Application server performance. Database performance. Hardware performance. These are numbers measured in the popular press, although in most situations they have little to do with your application's real-world performance. The number one way to increase performance, the thing th... (more)

THIS MONTH I'M GOING TO TALK about Web Services (capitals intended - I'll explain in a minute). Specifically, as one of the architects of BEA's SOAP/WSDL stack, I'd like to talk to you about Web Services and where they fit in with J2EE and Java in general. I capitalize the term ... (more)

Wow. That's what I have to say when I look back at where WebLogic began and where it has gone since then. When I started working at WebLogic, the only core people there were the founders, the president, an administrative assistant, and a lone sales person. Of course, back then ou... (more)
