WebLogic Deployment Scenarios: Case Studies

WebLogic deployment architectures can be differentiated according to:

• What types of client software connect to WebLogic Server

• The degree of clustering of WebLogic Server instances

• Whether servlets/Java ServerPages (JSPs) are used with Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) in the same cluster

• Whether servlets/JSPs are used with EJBs in separate clusters

• Whether you use WebLogic Server's native Web services as the front-end to the Internet

• Whether you use a third-party Web server such as Netscape/Apache/Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) with WebLogic Server

We discuss these deployment possibilities in the following sections.
