New and Changed WLST Features in This Release

The following new WLST features are available in this release:

  • Support for using WLST with some Oracle Fusion Middleware products. Custom WLST commands for these products are described in this manual. These commands are WLST versions of many of the Oracle ASCTL commands for Fusion Middleware products.

  • A new domainCustom() command that lets you access and perform operations on custom MBeans that have been registered in the Domain Runtime MBean Server. See "Accessing Custom MBeans on the Domain Runtime Server" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Scripting Tool, and domainCustom in this manual.

  • Two new WLST commands, addHelpCommandGroup() and addHelpCommand(), which lets you add command group help and command help for custom WLST commands to the WLST integrated help. See addHelpCommandGroup and addHelpCommand.

  • As of this release, WLST is based on Jython 2.2.1.
