Web Server Software

Oracle supports Oracle WebLogic web server for use with PeopleSoft implementations.

The following software runs on the PeopleSoft web server:

Software Component	Description
Web server services	Web server services software manages the web server and provides the HTTP or HTTPS 'listener' for browser and remote system requests.
J2EE Web container	The web container (or servlet engine) is the J2EE environment in which the PeopleSoft servlets run. This component is embedded within the web server software.
Java servlets	Java is the platform-independent programming language used widely for web-based programs, web applications, and servlets. Servlets are Java programs that run on the web server, unlike 'applets' which are downloaded to a client browser to run. During the PeopleSoft installation, a variety of PeopleSoft Java servlets are installed on the web server. Note: By default, PeopleTools installs PIA domains into the current PS_CFG_HOME location.

The following diagram explains about Web server running the web server services and the web container that in turn contain PeopleSoft Servlet installations.
