BEA's WebLogic Server implements the full range of J2EE
technologies, and includes many additional features such as
advanced management, clustering, and web services. Widely adopted,
it forms the core of the WebLogic platform, providing a stable
framework for building scalable, highly available, and secure
applications. In fact, in the long list of WebLogic's strengths
and features, only one shortcoming stands out: the documentation
that comes with the WebLogic server often leaves users clamoring
for more information.
WebLogic: The Definitive Guide presents a 360-degree view of the
world of WebLogic. Providing in-depth coverage of the WebLogic
server, the book takes the concept of "definitive" to a
whole new level. Exhaustive treatment of the WebLogic server and
management console answers any question that developers or
administrators might think to ask. Developers will find a useful
guide through the world of WebLogic to help them apply their J2EE
expertise to build and manage applications. Administrators will
discover all they need to manage a WebLogic-based setup. And system
architects will appreciate the detailed analysis of the different
system architectures supported by WebLogic, the overall
organization of a WebLogic domain and supporting network
infrastructure, and more.
WebLogic: The Definitive Guide is divided into three sections that
explore WebLogic and J2EE, Managing the WebLogic Environment, and
WebLogic Enterprise APIs. Some of the topics covered in this
comprehensive volume include: Building web applications on the
WebLogic Server Building and optimizing RMI applications Using EJBs
with WebLogic, including CMP entity beans Packaging and deploying
applications Understanding WebLogic's support for clustering
Performance tuning and related configuration settings Configuring
WebLogic's SSL support Maximizing WebLogic's security
features Building web services with XML Using WebLogic's JMX
services and MBeans.
Anyone who has struggled with mastering the WebLogic server will
appreciate the thorough, clearly written explanations and examples
in this book. WebLogic: The Definitive Guide is the definitive
documentation for this popular J2EE application server.
