A Understanding the Oracle WebLogic Server and Coherence Distribution

This section describes contents of the Oracle WebLogic Server and Coherence distribution (fmw_12.2.1.0.0_wls_generic.jar). The following table describes products and feature sets included with this distribution.

Note:

Oracle WebLogic Server is also available with the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure distribution (fmw_12.2.1.0.0_infrastructure_generic.jar). See Understanding the Infrastructure Standard Installation Topology in Installing and Configuring the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure.

Table A-1 Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 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).

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.

For more information about Coherence, see Oracle Coherence Getting Started Guide.

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.

Administration Console

A web application hosted by the Administration Server that is used for managing and monitoring an active domain.

CIE WLS Config

Provides files used by the Oracle Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard.

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.

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 Developing Applications Using Continuous Integration.

OPatch

The OPatch utility is a tool that allows the application and rollback of interim patches to Oracle products

Coherence

WebLogic 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.

OPatch

The OPatch utility is a tool that allows the application and rollback of interim patches to Oracle products.
