BASIC CONCEPTS

3 Tiers

A 3-tier architecture is an application architecture that splits the user interface (presentation layer) from the application logic. An "application server" handles the application logic and interacts with the database. This architecture scales better and is less complex. Also, new user interfaces can be added easily without changing the application or database tiers.

Oracle Fusion Middleware

Middleware is a term used to describe computer software that connects software components or applications, Middleware includes Web servers, application servers, content management systems, and similar tools that support application development and delivery

Servlet A servlet is a Java program that executes on the server, accepting client requests and generating dynamic responses

JVM A Java virtual machine is software that is implemented on virtual and non-virtual hardware and on standardoperating systems. A JVM provides an environment in which Java bytecode can be executed JDK The Java Development Kit (JDK) is an Oracle Corporation product aimed at Java developers. Since the introduction of Java, it has been by far the most widely used Java Software Development Kit (SDK).

JSP JavaServer Pages (JSPs) are HTML documents that are embedded with special tags to insert Java code, thereby providing dynamic content. When the user makes a request on a JSP, the server executes the Java code and generates an HTML document Jar Java Archive : a java class archive files. War Web Archive : Web modules which contains Servlet class files,JSP Files,supporting files, GIF and HTML files are packaged as JAR file with .war( web achive) extension Ear Enterprise Archive : All above files(.jar and .war) are packaged as JAR file with .ear ( enterprise archive) extension and deployed into Application Server or Weblogic EJBs make it possible for relatively new programmers to develop useful parts of highly complex, transaction-aware, and scalable enterprise applications, it relays on Weblogic , etc The JDBC specification defines an interface for Java programs to use and an interface for which database vendors can develop custom drivers, two types of JDBC drivers: Thick JDBC drivers built on top of the C-based Oracle Net client Thin (pure Java) JDBC driver to support downloadable applets

JNDI (pronounced jenn-dee) is an API and a standard that Java programs use to access existing naming or directory services. It is not a naming or directory service. It is merely the mapping. Different naming and directory services store objects in different ways.

Java EE Standard Java Platform Enterprise Edition 5 (Java EE, formerly known as J2EE), developed by Sun Microsystems, is a superset of the Java Platform Standard Edition (SE) 6 Java Development Kit (JDK).

Installation

- We Can Use GUI Installer - We Can use Console Installation

WLSxxxxxxx.exe mode=console

- We Can use Silent Mode

Create a silent.xml file. Wlsxxxx.exe mode=silent silent_xml=path_to_silent.xml

Database Installed Now installing Weblogic Server

We can Customize the Installation

DOMAIN: OVERVIEW

Is the basic administration unit for Oracle WebLogic Server Always includes one Oracle WebLogic Server instance configured as an administration server May include optional Oracle WebLogic Server instances in a domain called managed servers May also include clusters of server instances that work together

Directory Structure
To start WLS using command Line go to :

C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\ClassicDomain

To start Managed WLS using command Line go to :

C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\ClassicDomain\bin

To start OPMNCTL :

C:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\bin

Web Server : Oracle HTTP Server ( OHS) On Port 80 http://localhost or ip]:8888/ WebLogic Console : On Port 7001 Form Service : On Port 9001 Report Service : On Port 9002 To access form we use 8888 To access report we use 8888
