This section describes the contents and organization of this guide.
Tuning Performance is for a target audience of Application developers, Oracle Fusion Middleware administrators, database administrators, and Web masters. This Guide assumes knowledge of Fusion Middleware Administration and hardware performance tuning fundamentals, WebLogic Server, XML, and the Java programming language.
This chapter, Chapter 1, "Introduction and Roadmap," introduces the objectives and organization of this guide.
Chapter 2, "Top Performance Areas," describes top tuning areas for Oracle Fusion Middleware and serves as a 'quick start' for tuning applications.
Chapter 3, "Performance Planning," describes the performance planning methodology and tuning concepts for Oracle Fusion Middleware.
Chapter 4, "Monitoring Oracle Fusion Middleware," describes how to monitor Oracle Fusion Middleware and its components to obtain performance data that can assist you in tuning the system and debugging applications with performance problems.
Chapter 5, "Using the Oracle Dynamic Monitoring Service" provides an overview and features available in the Oracle Dynamic Monitoring Service (DMS).
Chapter 6, "Oracle HTTP Server Performance Tuning," discusses the techniques for optimizing Oracle HTTP Server performance, the Web server component for Oracle Fusion Middleware. It provides a listener for Oracle WebLogic Server and the framework for hosting static pages, dynamic pages, and applications over the Web.
Chapter 7, "Oracle Metadata Service (MDS) Performance Tuning," provides tuning tips for Oracle Metadata Service (MDS). MDS is used by Oracle Application Development Framework to manage metadata.
Chapter 8, "Oracle Application Development Framework Performance Tuning," provides basic guidelines on how to maximize the performance and scalability of the ADF stack in applications. Oracle ADF is an end-to-end application framework that builds on Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) standards and open-source technologies to simplify and accelerate implementing service-oriented applications. This chapter covers design time, configuration time, and deployment time performance considerations.
Chapter 9, "Oracle TopLink (EclipseLink) JPA Performance Tuning," provides some of the available performance options for Java Persistence API (JPA) entity architecture. Oracle TopLink includes EclipseLink as the JPA implementation.
