Weblogic trivia

One of the web servers I work with is BEA Weblogic. It's an extremely popular webservice provider, especially among major companies.

It's Oracle Weblogic now, after they bought BEA (big deal a while ago). One of my IS professors actually used to work in BEA directly under the CTO there, and he said that the company CEO's public line was that they'd never sell. Interesting how that turned out.

Digression aside, I learned a few days ago that the way to access the weblogic console (where you configure your web server and such) is to type in the address followed by "console". For example, http://localhost:7001/console.

A cool application of this is that you can go to random websites of major companies and see if they use weblogic. Try:
