A About the Oracle WebLogic Server and Coherence Distribution

The Oracle WebLogic Server and Coherence distribution includes a variety of products and feature sets.

Note:

Oracle WebLogic Server is also available with the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure distribution. See Understanding the Infrastructure Standard Installation Topology in Installing and Configuring the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure.

Table A-1 Oracle Fusion Middleware WebLogic Server and Coherence Products and Feature Sets

Installation Type	Installed Items	Description
WebLogic Server	WebLogic Server	A scalable, enterprise-ready Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application server. The WebLogic Server infrastructure supports the deployment of many types of distributed applications and is an ideal foundation for building applications based on service-oriented architecture (SOA).
WebLogic Server	Coherence	Coherence provides replicated and distributed (partitioned) data management and caching services on top of a reliable, highly scalable peer-to-peer clustering protocol. Coherence has no single points of failure; it automatically and transparently fails over and redistributes its clustered data management services when a server becomes inoperative or is disconnected from the network. When a new server is added, or when a failed server is restarted, it automatically joins the cluster and Coherence fails back services to it, transparently redistributing the cluster load. Coherence includes network-level fault tolerance features and transparent soft re-start capability to enable servers to self-heal. See About Oracle Coherence in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installing Oracle Coherence.
WebLogic Server	WebLogic Server Clients	Thin-client JARs required for connecting to a WebLogic Server instance. Includes the JARs for the web services, JMS, Store and Forward, WebLogic RMI, JMS .NET, and JMX clients.
WebLogic Server	Administration Console	A web application hosted by the Administration Server that is used for managing and monitoring an active domain.
WebLogic Server	CIE WLS Config	Provides files used by the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard.
WebLogic Server	Third-Party JDBC Drivers	Other JDBC drivers bundled with WebLogic Server that can be used to connect a WebLogic Server environment to an external database. For details about this feature set, see Using JDBC Drivers with WebLogic Server in Administering JDBC Data Sources for Oracle WebLogic Server.
WebLogic Server	Third-Party Jackson	Third party open source software for processing JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data formats.
WebLogic Server	Third-Party Jersey	Third party open source software representing the official implementation of the Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture. See About RESTful Web Service Development in Developing and Securing RESTful Web Services for Oracle WebLogic Server.
WebLogic Server	Third-Party Maven Apache	Maven is a build management tool that is central to project build tasks such as compilation, packaging, and artifact management. See Introduction to Continuous Integration in Developing Applications Using Continuous Integration.
WebLogic Server	OPatch	The OPatch utility is a tool that allows the application and rollback of interim patches to Oracle products
