There are two modes: Development and production mode:
Development mode:
ü
You use development mode while you are developing your
applications. Development mode uses a relaxed security configuration and
enables you to auto-deploy applications.
ü
You can use the demonstration digital certificates provided by the
WebLogic Server security services. With these certificates, you can design your
application to work within environments secured by SSL.
ü
WebLogic Server instances can automatically deploy and update
applications that reside in the domain_name/applications directory.
ü
When you start a server, the server automatically renames
(rotates) its local server log file as server-name.log.n. For the remainder of
the server session, the server rotates its local log file whenever the size of
the file reaches 500 kilobytes.
ü
The default number of threads available to Execute Queues is 15.
ü
The default capacity is 15 JDBC connections.
Production mode:
ü
You use production mode when your application is running in its
final form. A production domain uses full security and may use clusters or
other advanced features.
ü
A warning message is displayed if you use the demonstration
digital certificates.
ü
The auto-deployment feature is disabled, so you must use the
WebLogic Server Administration Console or the weblogic.Deployer tool.
ü
A server rotates its local log file after the size of the file
reaches 500 kilobytes.
ü
The default number of threads available to Execute Queues is 25.
ü
The default capacity is 25 JDBC connections.
