1. Ten Tips For Java Developers with Oracle WebLogic Server Pieter Humphrey Principal Product Director, Oracle

3. #1 Utilize the Lightweight Server

5. Lightweight Installation

7. #2 Leverage Java EE 5.0

13. #3 Employ FastSwap for Rapid Develop/Test Cycles

16. FastSwap in Action User Class Foo.class Modified User Class Foo.class Versioned User Class Classloader detects* change and enhances class User class is enhanced by having generic methods and field accessors. This class structure remains the same for the life of the classloader that loaded it. Delegates calls over to the latest version class. Ever time the user class is changed, a new versioned class is created which contains the corresponding method bodies.

18. Enabling FastSwap with Eclipse Configure project to compile into exploded directories Enable wls-fastswap in weblogic-application.xml

19. #4 Leverage WebLogic Server Ant Tasks

24. #5 Make Use of WebLogic Server Tooling

27. #6 Use Smart IDE Features

28. Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse Open Source skill leverage reduces learning curve AppXRay ™ Presentation Component Data Access External Resources Java / Java EE Web Services WebLogic Server Spring, ORM, DB Artifact JSP CSS JSF JSTL HTML Struts Web Services POJO Resource bundles XML schema Java Variable Spring DAO EJB 3 JPA Hibernate OpenJPA Kodo

31. AppXRay: AppXaminer Developers who inherit code or applications developed by others will appreciate AppXaminer. View the relationships between all design time artifacts with a simple right click gesture, then filter out what you don’t want to see. AppXaminer allows navigation through specific instances of dependences as well.

34. #7 Automate Creation of Dev/Test Environments

38. #8 Shared Libraries
