Oracle Weblogic 11g - first looks

Just had look at this wonderful piece of kit.

weblogic 11g oracle name oracle middleware is currently at weblogic version 10.3.1.0
and is made to be harmoniously SOA orientated, first looks show a new fresh looking admin console, and a whole load more features, however nothing in this version really jumps out from first impressions and is this really a minor revision to 10 rather than a whole new version?
Well by naming it 11g will bring more of a marketing and branding advantage than a technical one like the fantastic name there marketing dept has come up with ...only time will tell the value that 11g will really bring...I am looking forward to oracle weblogic 11g v2.

Weblogic Portal 10.2 (WLP 10.2)

Has finally arrived and what a fantastic package it is,
Bea have adopted unifying open standards compatiblity with 10.2 and
can confidently say yes to web 2.0 and many of the technologies in
previous version.

Including Xtreme Progamming, Agile methods, Service Orientated
Architecture, compatibiliy with
Eclipse via Workspace Studio, JSF, Spring , Struts , WYSIWIG, and Web
Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP)
WSRP is a interesting one allowing .NET Apps to run well in WLP. Mashups
is something you will hear more of and this is
the ability to re-use something that is already published to a web site
or portal in your new portal but rather than having to re-create the wheel
you just adopt in your new portal using WYSIWIG and mashup feature.
SSO - single sign on although not new in WLP has matured in this
version to something rather more usable (rather than just a fudge in
together in previous versions), improved deployment mechanism (zero
downtime ) make this a must have version of WLP.

I am now taking on migration work to the new version and I recommend
users of previous versions to get in touch if this is something your
looking to move towards.

goodbye BEA.Com hello OTN

As of 5 December 2008 bea.com website is no longer being updated,
instead for the latest weblogic info you will need to be a subscriber to
oracles Oracle Technology Network ( OTN ).
As you may well know, this is going to ruffle a few feathers in the
weblogic circle. However Oracle have had reign of BEA for over 6 months
and have slowly adopted the approach to integrating into their core.
