This appendix describes the products and feature sets available in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure distribution.
See Table A-1 for details.
Table A-1 Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure Products and Feature Sets
Product | Feature Set | Description |
---|---|---|
Core Server |
Core Application Server |
A complete application server that implements Java Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6) technologies, Web Services, and other leading Internet standards to provide a reliable framework for highly available, scalable, and secure applications and services. Includes the full set of components that comprise the essential WebLogic Server run time with full Java EE 6 support. This feature set does not include administration tools and add-on technologies, such as the Administration Console, Web Server plug-ins, Beehive run-time framework, JDBC drivers, and so on. |
Coherence Product Files |
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. For more information about Coherence, see Oracle Coherence Getting Started Guide. |
|
Web 2.0 HTTP Pub-Sub Server |
A channels based publish-subscribe mechanism for Web-based clients to send and receive asynchronous messages over HTTP. The HTTP Publish-Subscribe server can be used by Web clients to subscribe to channels (a representation in Bayeux for destinations) and publish messages to the channels. Developers are recommended to install the pub-sub sample, available by selecting the Server Examples product component. If this component is not installed, you will not be able to take advantage of Web 2.0 HTTP Publish-Subscribe functionality. For more information, see "Using the HTTP Publish-Subscribe Server" in Developing Web Applications, Servlets, and JSPs for Oracle WebLogic Server. |
|
WebLogic SCA |
This is a Spring container for Java applications that use SCA semantics to expose services and invoke references. The container is included as an optional library in WebLogic Server. |
|
WebLogic Client Jars |
These are client-side WebLogic applications. |
|
Oracle WebLogic Communication Services |
Oracle WebLogic Communication Services (OWLCS) is a platform designed to integrate communication services with enterprise services and applications. |
|
Administrative Tools |
Administration Console Additional Language Help Files |
The WebLogic Server Web application for configuring, administering, and monitoring WebLogic domains. If you do not install the Administration Console, the console will not be available when you start the Administration Server. For information, see "About the Administration Console" in Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server. |
CIE WLS Config |
Provides files used by the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard. |
|
Enterprise Manager |
Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control is a Web browser-based, graphical user interface that you can use to monitor and administer your domain. For more information, see "Getting Started Using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware. |
|
Database Support |
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 more information about this feature set, see "Using JDBC Drivers with WebLogic Server" in Administering JDBC Data Sources for Oracle WebLogic Server. |
WebLogic Evaluation Database |
Installs an evaluation database, which is used by the Server Examples, into the If you do not choose the Fusion Middleware Infrastructure with Examples install type, this evaluation database is still installed. |
|
Open Source Components |
Third Party Jackson |
Third party open source software for processing JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data formats. |
Third Party Jersey |
Third party open source software representing the official implementation of the Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture. For more information, see Developing and Securing RESTful Web Services for Oracle 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. For more information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Developing Applications Using Continuous Integration. |
|
Examples |
Server Examples |
Server Examples are example applications that demonstrate key features of WebLogic Server. For more information, see "Sample Application and Code Examples" in Understanding Oracle WebLogic Server. |
Coherence Examples |
Coherence Examples demonstrate how to use the features of Coherence in all supported languages (Java, .NET, and C++). The examples are organized collections of code that show how to use one or more features, and provide a single common way (per language) to build and run all examples. Source code for the examples is included. Note: Both Server Examples and Coherence Examples are only installed if you select the Fusion Middleware Infrastructure with Examples install type. |
