Apache Xerces Xml Parser; Applications Directory - BEA WebLogic Server 7 Upgrade Manual

Apache Xerces XML Parser

The built-in XML parser for WebLogic Server 7.0 is based on the Apache Xerces 1.4.4
parser. The parser implements version 2 of the SAX and DOM interfaces. Users who
used older parsers that were shipped in previous versions may receive deprecation
messages.
WebLogic Server 7.0 also includes the WebLogic FastParser, a high-performance
XML parser specifically designed for processing small to medium size documents,
such as SOAP and WSDL files associated with WebLogic Web services. Configure
WebLogic Server to use FastParser if your application handles mostly small to
medium size (up to 10,000 elements) XML documents.
Previous versions of WebLogic Server included the unmodified versions of the Xerces
parser and Xalan transformer from
WL_HOME\server\ext\xmlx.zip
and interfaces. Download the unmodified Xerces parser and Xalan transformer
directly from the Apache Web site.

Applications Directory

In WebLogic Server 6.1 and 7.0 there is a division between runtime modes. The two
modes are "development" and "production." The runtime mode is selected using a
command line parameter when starting the Weblogic Server
(
-Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=true | false
set, the server runs in development mode. In development mode the server behavior is
consistent with WebLogic Server 6.0. In production mode, however, the
auto-deployment feature is disabled. Deployment units in the applications directory
that are not explicitly deployed in the configuration repository (
be automatically deployed. Note that in WebLogic Server 6.1 and 7.0 the default
domain (mydomain) and Pet Store configurations are shipped in production mode. The
examples configuration is shipped in development mode.
