In my previous article (WLDJ, Vol. 3, issue 8), I gave you a detailed
overview of the different strategies available for domain creation and
configuration and evaluated manual and templating options. In this article, I
employ tools like WLShell, WebLogic Scripting Tool, Silent Scripts, and Ant

languages.
Note: This article relies heavily on the common steps such as Domain

WebLogic Server 8.1. Using an archetypical J2EE architecture, I evaluate the
impact of using MySQL from various aspects such as choosing the correct
version of MySQL, setting-up the server, and making developmen... (more)
A portlet is a Web component that generates fragments - pieces of markup
(e.g., HTML, XML) adhering to certain specifications. Fragments are
aggregated to form a complete document.
This article introduces the Java Specification Request (JSR) 168 on Java
Portlets. It illustrates the creation of Java Portlets using BEA WebLogic
Workshop 8.1 SP2 and the deployment of these portlets on BEA We... (more)
