WebLogic Server 7.0 New FeaturesAlexander Berry, Jr.WLS Sr. Systems Engineer
3.5 4.04.1 4.5 5.1 6.0 6.1 7.0 WebLogic Server 7.0 • Delivers integration foundation services • Improves developer productivity • Enhances administrator productivity • Continued Leadership • Standards compliance • New Security Framework • Performance/caching enhancements
WebLogic Server 7.0 delivers integration foundation services
SOAP Request SOAP Request Java SOAP Request SOAP Response SOAP Response SOAP Response Java Integration foundation services • Web Services • Native support for Web Services (SOAP, WSDL, XML, UDDI, JAX-RPC) • Interoperability with Microsoft .Net and other Web Services • Development utilities for the J2EE developer • New high speed XML pull parser • UDDI v2 compliant registry implementation BEA WebLogic Server Serializer Serializer Deserializer SOAP Client Protocol Adapter (HTTP) Handler Chain Stateless EJB Serializer
Integration foundation services • WebLogic Workshop • IDE and framework for developing Web Services • Shields user from complexities of J2EE • Enterprise Messaging • New highly available JMS • Virtual queues and migratable destinations • 3rd party Messaging integration i.e. MQSeries • Pluggable architecture – no coding needed to integrate • Supports store-and-forward • J2EE Connector Architecture • Support for JCA 1.0 • Enhancements in Connection and Security Management
Integration foundation services • RMI/IIOP Enhancements • Bi-directional support for transactions and security context propagation between WLS and CORBA • Full EJB/OTS/IIOP spec compliance • WebLogic Tuxedo Connector • Bi-directional support for transactions and security context propagation between WLS and Tuxedo • Microsoft Interoperability • WebLogic jCOM- Java to COM+ bi-directional bridging
WebLogic Server 7.0 radically improves developer productivity
WLS 7.0 improves developer productivity with new tools, utilities, services and 3rd party development tool integration Developer productivity • WebLogic Workshop • Tightly integrated with all leading development tools • 3rd party J2EE IDE support • IBM, WebGain, Rational, Borland, Sun Forte, NetBeans, TogetherSoft, Mercury Interactive, etc.
Developer productivity New WebLogic Server Java Development Utilities • WebLogic Builder – J2EE application assembly, packaging, configuration, and deployment tool EJBGen – EJB development utility • You write business logic only. EJBGen will generate the rest of the files
Developer productivity WebLogic Server Web Services Development Utilities • Ant tasks for automating the creation of Web Services • Generate deployment descriptors • Generate serializers for complex data types • Generate home page, testing harness • Generate client proxy
Maximum choice in development tools Reduced manual programming Increased quality of code, reduced time debugging Reduced packaging and deploying time Reduced number of developers and/or time to market Reduced TCO and Increased ROI Developer productivity: Customer benefits
WLS 7.0 enhances administrator productivity with complete and extensible deployment, configuration, security and monitoring infrastructure. Administrator productivity • Further enhanced Web-based graphical administration console • Extensible • Role based admin,deployer,operator,monitor • Reports on statistics, performance, system health • Usability, look-and-feel improvements
Administrator productivity • Simplified cluster configuration and management • Configuration wizards help creating new domains, clusters, and configurations • Two phase install for massive deployments • New server health monitoring metrics • Single IP address across the cluster (multiple ports)
Administrator productivity • Node manager • Monitors each cluster node • Reports on the node health • Can restart the failed node • Continuously reports on a set of metrics • Administrators can set up a notification system based on specific events • A new “stand by” server state • React to load increase faster, with less effort • Server in “stand by” state is ready to receive requests • Can be brought on line immediately
Administrator productivity • Open administration and management interface • Can build your own Mbeans, or use open API to WebLogic Mbeans • 3rd party management tools can be integrated with WLS administration console • New pages can be added to admin console • Allows programmatic management of the WLS-based applications • A common framework for all administration tasks • Server Independence from the Administrative Console • Command line start-up and shut-down without Admin Server
Standards Compliance • WebLogic Server is the first to market with the leading standards, such as J2EE and Web Services • WebLogic Server is certified J2EE 1.3 complaint • Support for SOAP, WSDL, JAX-RPC, UDDI
CredentialManager AuthorizationManager RoleManager PrincipalAuthenticator UserProfile Auditor Security Framework UserProfilerModule(s) New Security Framework • WebLogic 7.0 will offer the most comprehensive, open security model for enterprise infrastructure • Open APIs for authentication, authorization, auditing, and PKI management • Full support of JAAS • LDAP integration & “out of the box” experience Authentication& Identity Module(s) CredentialMappingModule(s) Auditing Module(s) Authorization Module(s) Role MappingModule(s)
Industry leading performance • Cache Filters • Web cache • Easily cache files of a specific type, entire directories, or specific files • Cache uses soft references, so it cannot cause the server to run out of memory • Entity EJB caching enhancements • Optimistic concurrency • Automatic invalidation on update
Continued leadership: customer benefits • Standardscompliance • Investment protection • Security • Removing security code from Business Logic decreases maintenance costs. • Increased security, reduced development • Leverage corporate standard security frameworks or pick best of breed • Caching • Faster applications • Less load on network, database
