WebLogic Workshop is an integrated development environment for building
enterprise-class J2EE applications on the WebLogic Platform. WebLogic
Workshop provides an intuitive programming model that enables you to focus
on building the business logic of your application rather than on complex
implementation details. Whether you are an application developer with a
business problem to solve or a J2EE expert building business infrastructure,
WebLogic Workshop makes it easy to design, test, and deploy enterprise-class
applications.

WebLogic Workshop consists of two parts: an Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) and a standards-based runtime environment. The
purpose of the IDE is to remove the complexity in building applications for
the entire WebLogic platform. Applications you build in the IDE are
constructed from high-level components rather than low-level API calls. Best
practices and productivity are built into both the IDE and runtime.
WebLogic Workshop is available in two editions:
-
WebLogic Workshop Application Developer Edition
includes the basic features required by application developers to build
web services, web applications, custom controls and Enterprise JavaBeans
(EJBs). All editions of WebLogic Workshop also include ubiquitous
support for XMLBeans, BEA's technology for seamless, natural
manipulation of XML in Java.
-
WebLogic Workshop Platform Edition includes additional
extensions to the IDE and runtime framework that let you build portal
applications and business processes in conjunction with the WebLogic
Portal and WebLogic Integration products, respectively.
WebLogic Workshop's intuitive user interface lets you design your
application visually. Controls make it simple to encapsulate business logic
and connect to enterprise resources, like databases and Enterprise
JavaBeans, without writing a lot of code. Conversations handle the job of
keeping track of application state. And WebLogic Workshop's support for
asynchronous processes makes it easy to build highly reliable applications
for the enterprise.
These tutorials are designed to help the new user get up and running quickly,
but provide more depth than the Getting Started Tutorials. Each tutorial helps
you to build a working application. Each tutorial step is self-contained, so
that after completing a step you have a working application. At each step you
can continue working through the tutorial to build a progressively more
sophisticated application, or stop and adapt what you've learned to your own
needs.
