Web Servers and Web Components
WebLogic Server can perform as a fully functional Web server. WebLogic Server can
server both static files such as HTML files and dynamic files such as Java servlets or
Java ServerPages (JSP). Virtual hosting is also supported.
For more information on managing Web server functionality in WebLogic Server, see
“Configuring WebLogic Server Web Components” on page 7-1.
Applications
Application deployment tools, including the Administration Console allow you to
deploy, manage, update, and monitor your applications. The application deployment
tools also allow you to deploy and update applications in a cluster of WebLogic
Servers.
WebLogic Server uses a two-phase deployment model that gives you more control
over the deployment process. For more information, see WebLogic Server
Deployment.
Using the system administration tools you can:
! Deploy applications to one or more WebLogic Servers or clusters in a domain.
! Configure runtime parameters for the applications.
! Monitor application performance
! Configure security parameters
! View an application’s deployment descriptor.
! Protect access to an application based on security roles or a security policy. For
