Convention Meaning
Application Server The term Application Server or application server is used in this document to refer to either GlassFish Server or WebLogic Server.

Supported Application Server: Oracle Communications Contacts Server 8.0.0.4.0 and previous releases were deployed on GlassFish Server, which is no longer supported by Oracle. For that reason, Contacts Server 8.0.0.5.0 and beyond are only supported on Oracle WebLogic Server. Oracle strongly recommends that you upgrade your Contacts Server environments to release 8.0.0.5.0 or higher and migrate to WebLogic Server to receive full Oracle support.
