WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) Overview

There are many newbies into the WebLogic stream ( Development/ Administration). Most of them are novice to WLST. I thought let me found a way to give you best links available on the net.

After being in the development team one of my buddy asked me "your blogs are very nice, I want to learn WLST. But where to start? " My answer for all my blog readers who want to encourage newbies in WLST can pass this post.

Currently WLST  is supporting Application Servers are listed as follows:
WebLogic 8.1
BEA WebLogic 9.0
BEA WebLogic 9.1
BEA WebLogic 9.2
BEA WebLogic 10.0


WLST is first initiated in the BEA System Inc., days so it is supported since WebLogic 8.1 onwards with latest service packs till WebLogic version 10.0. After Oracle acquisition following are the versions:
Oracle WebLogic 10g R3
Oracle WebLogic 11gR1
Oracle WebLogic 11gR1 PatchSet 1 (10.3.1)
Oracle WebLogic 11gR1 PatchSet 2 (10.3.2)
Oracle WebLogic 11gR1 PatchSet 3 (10.3.3)


 The best editor for WLST is given by Oracle is OEPE that supports all the above said versions of WebLogic Server runtime.

A sample OEPE tutorial given by Edwin Biemond from Oracle.

WLST with Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse


Here I am sharing the wonderful presentation about WLST overview. Check this following SlideShare Presentation: it's very informative, it is by James Bayer who is the technical expert from Oracle.

I am also impressed by the YouTube videos which are giving basic Python programming tutorial, ideas, control logics.




You might wonder by seeing this link but it is worthy to see in google chrome. Because the web-page is from china and entire page is in chineese language. If you have Google Chrome it will give you translate on top of the page you can choose your choice of language and have knowledge on WLST  :)

Thankyou for visiting this post, feel free to post your comments after viewing these video links.

Hi Fabian,

Sending an email from your WebLogic running machine just need mailx service must be configured.

Receiver doesn't required to install anything. If you have mail client running on Windows machine it is not going to stop anything.

Enjoy Jython scripting for more efficient administration.
