Audience

This document is written for application developers and administrators who are developing or deploying Web-based applications on one or more clusters. It also contains information that is useful for business analysts and system architects who are evaluating WebLogic Server or considering the use of WebLogic Server clusters for a particular application.

The topics in this document are primarily relevant to plan, implement, and support a production environment that includes WebLogic Server clusters. Key guidelines for software engineers who design or develop applications that will run on a WebLogic Server cluster are also addressed.

It is assumed that the reader is familiar with Java EE, HTTP, HTML coding, and Java programming (servlets, JSP, or EJB development).

Diversity and Inclusion

Oracle is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. Oracle respects and values having a diverse workforce that increases thought leadership and innovation. As part of our initiative to build a more inclusive culture that positively impacts our employees, customers, and partners, we are working to remove insensitive terms from our products and documentation. We are also mindful of the necessity to maintain compatibility with our customers' existing technologies and the need to ensure continuity of service as Oracle's offerings and industry standards evolve. Because of these technical constraints, our effort to remove insensitive terms is ongoing and will take time and external cooperation.
