Weblogic 11g and JavaEE 6

Question

I was wondering if Weblogic 11g already supports JavaEE 6. As I didn't find anything about it in google, I thought that it didn't, until I found a comment saying that Oracle WebLogic Server 11g is Java EE 6 complaint.

Despite that, I haven't found yet the modules to support the new Java EE 6 features.

Does somebody knows something about this?

Answer 1

No, it doesn't, WebLogic 11g is a Java EE 5 application server (you can check the datasheet for the standard and the enterprise edition here and here).

AFAIK, Java EE 6 support is planned for WebLogic 12g (to be released in 2011).

Are you sure that WL11g is a JEE5 only server? I just installed it and it comes package with Sun's JDK 1.6 & jRockit 1.6 – Tillford

@Tillford -- JDK version number and Java EE version number are not synonymous. See #2014458 – Viridis

Answer 2

WebLogic 11g is fully Java EE 5 compliant [1], but WebLogic 11gR1 PS3 (10.3.4) included some Java EE 6 technologies [2,3]. The next major release will be fully Java EE 6 compliant [4].

@bakoyaro - WebLogic 10.3 supports JDK 6, but only Java EE 5 [5].

WebLogic 12c implements Java EE 6, and is backwards compatible for previous versions of Java EE.
