Oracle WebLogic Server 12c: Distinctive Recipes (Architecture, Development and Administration)

What you don’t want is the typical ‘recipe book’ full of screenshots. Click here. Click there. Do this. Do that. That’s WebLogic by numbers.

What you really want are the things you won’t find in the manual, like recommendations, discussions, best practices, deployable projects, webcast videos and directions on when to use a feature – and when not to. With all this and more, this book is the perfect complement to official courses and manuals.

In short, this gem of a book is almost as good as attending one of Frank’s renowned workshops.

This new book is an anthology of best practice in administrating WebLogic, large-scale deployments, performance-tuning biggest mistakes, perfomance tuning tools, the merged JVM, node manager, using JMX with your own applications, stuck threads, JDBC myths, effectively detecting memory leaks, Java EE examples (deployments and NetBeans projects), Oracle Fusion Middleware (Service Bus, SOA Suite etc.) and WebLogic in the Cloud without the hype.
