WebLogic 12.1.3 was released and with it the support for perhaps the most important Java EE 7 APIs for database-backed Web Applications development. These are the specifications supported in this release:
- Java Persistence API 2.1 (implemented by EclipseLink)
- JAX-RS 2.0 (implemented by Jersey)
- JSON-P 1.0 (implemented by GlassFish subproject jsonp)
- WebSockets 1.0 (implemented by Tyrus)
As
you can see above, WebLogic is bundled with the same implementations
used by GlassFish 4.0, which gives you a compatible application server
if you have already started developing Java EE 7 applications (well, of
course limited to these APIs) and now seek for a commercially supported
environment.
There are also some improvements in the Apache Maven
Plugin, which makes developers' life much easier, allows for much better
automated testing (Arquillian!), Continuous Integration and Delivery.
IDEs that support Maven-based projects also benefit from this.
Does
this makes WebLogic the best Java EE application server to run modern
web HTML5/Javascript applications with RESTful and WebSockets services?
Wouldn't be fair if I told you yes, now would it? So to give you a nice
way to test WebLogic, I created a Dockerfile for you to in order to
create a WebLogic domain on your development environment to test it as
you wish. Go to the weblogic-docker for the Developer ZIP Distro Dockerfile on the WebLogic Community GitHub repository.
