Migration Guide: Oracle WebLogic 14 to Azul Payara Server 6

Smart Summary

Migrating from Oracle WebLogic 14 to Azul Payara Server 6 is straightforward because both servers rely on the Java EE/Jakarta EE specifications. This guide compares the two platforms feature by feature, covering clustering, caching, monitoring, deployment, cloud, and support, and shows the Azul Payara equivalent for each WebLogic capability. It is written for Java EE and Jakarta EE teams weighing a move away from WebLogic.

Introduction

Migrating from Oracle WebLogic 14 to Azul Payara Server 6 is a simple and straightforward process because both servers rely on the Java EE/Jakarta EE specifications. This guide provides you with an overview of the features of Oracle WebLogic, along with those outside the area of Jakarta EE, their equivalents within Azul Payara Server, and how you can achieve the same result.

GlassFish, initially developed by Sun Microsystems as the reference implementation of what was once Java EE, has been used by developers in its open-source form. Sun, then Oracle, offered commercial support for Glassfish for production use. In a competitive market, Oracle GlassFish fared well and became a popular choice, with the vast majority of users leveraging the GlassFish Server Open-Source Edition. However, in November 2013, Oracle announced the end of commercial support for GlassFish.

One year after Oracle announced the end of commercial support for GlassFish, Steve Millidge – a Java EE expert and founder of Payara Services Ltd – announced the arrival of Azul Payara Server and, with it, a reintroduction of a 24/7 vendor support option for businesses operating GlassFish as a platform. Azul Payara Server proved to be the logical, commercially supported “drop-in replacement” for GlassFish Server Open-Source Edition, helping companies quickly and easily migrate onto a similar platform, but with the added reassurance of regular releases, bug fixes, patches and enhancements.

Azul Payara Server rapidly evolved from just a “supported GlassFish alternative” to a fully open-source product that can run Java EE/Jakarta EE applications. It contains several unique features in the areas of monitoring and security, for example, and was the first runtime to integrate Java EE/Jakarta EE and MicroProfile specifications into a single runtime. Azul Payara Platform Enterprise is the fully supported, commercial version of Azul Payara Platform. Users can choose the level of Migration & Project Support based on their needs, with two key options: 24×7 or 10×5.

Releases

Development of WebLogic Server started in 1995 by the company WebLogic. BEA Systems purchased WebLogic in 1998, then Oracle purchased BEA Systems in 2008. WebLogic Server is/was typically used by larger companies that combine it with other software from Oracle.

The latest version of Oracle WebLogic Server is 14c, which introduced support for Java EE 8.

Release Date
WebLogic Server 14c (14.1.1.0) March 30, 2020

The previous version of WebLogic, named 12cR2, received several updates as presented in the following Table 1:

Release Date
WebLogic Server 12cR2 (12.2.1.4) September 27, 2019
WebLogic Server 12cR2 (12.2.1.3) August 30, 2017
WebLogic Server 12cR2 (12.2.1.2) October 19, 2016
WebLogic Server 12cR2 (12.2.1.1) June 21, 2016
WebLogic Server 12cR2 (12.2.1.0) October 23, 2015

With a slow introduction of new Java EE versions (Java EE 8 was released in August 2017, almost four years after the release of Java EE 7) and lengthy periods between the WebLogic 12cR2 updates, the release strategy of Azul Payara Server is vastly different. Releases of new Azul Payara Server Community and Enterprise editions are made available every month containing new features, fixes and security updates.

Azul Payara customers can therefore benefit from an up-to-date solution to maintain the stability and security of their environments. Besides, they have additional benefits that go “beyond the help desk” aspect of support, including a 10-year software lifecycle.

Oracle WebLogic Components

As an Oracle customer, you can choose among various editions for the Oracle WebLogic Server:

  • Oracle WebLogic Standard Edition
  • Oracle WebLogic Enterprise Edition
  • Oracle WebLogic Suite

These differ in the additional features that are made available to WebLogic Server outside the Java EE world.

WebLogic is also part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware suite, which contains integration services, business intelligence, collaboration and content management.

In this migration guide, we will concentrate on the following components:

  • Oracle WebLogic Server
  • Oracle Coherence

We will also briefly discuss other components found in the Oracle WebLogic Enterprise Edition and migration options should you decide to migrate to the Azul Payara Platform.

WebLogic Core

Oracle WebLogic Server is built around the Java EE 8 specifications. Since both WebLogic 14 and Azul Payara Server 6 are based on the Java EE/Jakarta EE specifications, the migrating process from WebLogic to Azul Payara is typically straightforward for workloads adhering to the supported standards.

If your applications are not using any implementation-specific features and are only using the standard available features of the Java EE/Jakarta EE specifications, the application should run without much modification. This is the preferred way of working when you are using the Java EE/Jakarta EE platform. This compatibility between implementations is one of the major strengths of Java EE/Jakarta EE. Since most implementations follow the specifications, and there are compatibility tests that can be performed to verify this, it allows you to switch implementations and even switch to different servers from other vendors without the need to adjust your applications.

Azul Payara Server, in both its Community and Enterprise editions, fully supports Jakarta EE 10 and remains backward compatible with Java EE 8 applications, ensuring you can seamlessly migrate your WebLogic workload to Azul Payara with minimal downtime.

Supported Java Version

Azul Payara Server is officially supported on JDKs 8 and 11. This means that both JDK 8 and JDK 11 are supported by Oracle WebLogic 14c and Azul Payara Platform 6.

However, when using GraalVM as the JVM for running your platform, WebLogic is only supported on the Enterprise Edition of GraalVM and only on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Azul Payara Server, on the other hand, runs fine and is fully supported, also on the GraalVM community edition. So, there is no need to buy licenses of the Enterprise platforms required to run Oracle WebLogic on the GraalVM JVM.

Azul Payara customers have JDK support from Azul when using their JVM. If you experience a JVM related issue, you can rely on their support to find a suitable solution or get a fixed build. And as part of Azul Payara’s commitment to long-term support for a specific version, JDK 8 security updates will also be available from Azul for our customers.

Oracle Coherence

Oracle Coherence is an in-memory data grid and distributed caching solution. Its main purpose is:

  • Caching: Store data in a distributed (using different nodes) in-memory cache so that retrieval is faster than from application sources. This is a typical optimization for slowly changing data sets.
  • Analytics: The stored data can be retrieved using sorting, aggregating and searching the data using distributed techniques.
  • Transactions: Coherence can be used in a transactional way.
  • Events: Events can be distributed between different nodes triggering listener code.

Oracle Coherence can also be used as an implementation of JSR 107, JCache, the Java temporary caching API.

The same functionality is available within Azul Payara Server Enterprise with the help of the Domain Data Grid in Azul Payara Server. This can be implemented using open-source Hazelcast:

  • Data can be cached using a manual operation (basically, change the statements CacheFactory.getCache() to HazelcastInstance.getMap() for example) or use the JCache option backed by the Hazelcast library.
  • Hazelcast provides implementations for the collection objects based on the Java Map, List and Set interfaces. So there is no specific import needed to synchronize data between different nodes. You can also make use of a special ExecutorService that allows you to run your task within the grid.
  • Hazelcast also provides support for the Jakarta Transactions specification. This means you can put data into the grid in a transactional way. It can even join in an XA transaction as a party.
  • Just as in the Oracle Coherence case, events that are triggering listener code on remote nodes can be fired.

Every framework that relies on Oracle Coherence can be directly replaced with the equivalent Hazelcast functionality, which is seamlessly integrated into Azul Payara Server. While Coherence typically operates in a standalone deployment, Hazelcast defaults to an embedded mode where each Azul Payara Server instance becomes part of the distributed Data Grid. This significantly simplifies management and monitoring. Furthermore, Azul Payara Data Grid elevates security by encrypting your data both at rest and in transit, providing enhanced protection compared to Coherence’s focus on in-transit security.

Clustering in WebLogic vs. Azul Payara Server

An Oracle WebLogic domain consists of an Administration Server and optionally one or more Managed Servers, which can be clustered in one or more clusters.

The terminology within the Azul Payara Server is almost identical and there exists a one-to-one mapping:

  • Administration server ↔ DAS (Domain Administration Server)
  • Managed Server ↔ Payara Instance
  • Cluster ↔ Cluster

Clusters, however, are deprecated in Azul Payara Server 6, and replaced by a very flexible alternative, called the Domain Data Grid. Within a cluster, a Managed Server or Payara Instance is dedicated to a cluster instance. Instances in a cluster all run the same applications and have the same resource (like database connections) assigned to them. With a Deployment Group, you have very fine-grained control over which applications run on which instances.

Instead of assigning a server (or Instance, in Payara terms) to a Cluster, you assign individual deployed applications and resources (like JDBC resources) to a Deployment Group. You also assign Instances to this Deployment Group, so that each instance runs a certain set of applications and resources according to the membership of the Instance to Deployment Groups. With this architecture, you have a very flexible assignment and usage of your Instances.

Dynamic Clusters

Oracle WebLogic has support for what is referred to as Dynamic Clusters. The configuration of a Managed Server, which requires pre-installation, is then taken from a template and can be added to the cluster to increase the throughput of the applications.

Azul Payara Server Enterprise mirrors this functionality with its intuitive Deployment Groups. Setting up a new Payara instance involves simply selecting a preconfigured template, and the software is automatically installed via SSH, eliminating the need for manual installations. Once integrated into the domain configuration, you effortlessly assign the instance to one or more Deployment Groups. This streamlined process automatically deploys all associated artifacts, like applications and resources (e.g., JDBC connection pools), to the new instance, ensuring consistency and minimizing configuration overhead.

Operations

With the WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST), you can manage your Oracle WebLogic servers from a script. Besides commands for interacting with WebLogic components, Python has been integrated to make your scripts more versatile. This integration helps you to write intelligent scripts that decide which commands to execute based on some conditions or checks.

Azul Payara Server has also a command Line tool, asadmin, that allows you to manage and operate all aspects from your Azul Payara Server installation. There is no integration with another scripting language, but it can be integrated into OS operations like BASH scripts, which provide the needed intelligence, if required.

Moreover, the Asadmin Recorder is a unique feature of the Azul Payara Platform that can help you write the script for setting up your environment. It records the steps you perform within the Web Console and writes them as commands to a file. This file can then be used to set up your server to the same state as you did manually through the Web Console.

Just like Oracle WebLogic, Azul Payara Server has a REST API to perform all the management operations. You may want to use it if you need to integrate or control Azul Payara Server from another environment.

Azul Payara Server Enterprise edition has some additional tools that makes the task of maintaining and setting up your environment easier. The Certificate Management Tool allows you to remove expired certificates or use your custom SSL certificate with Azul Payara Server. There is no need to use the JDK keytool application for this and combine multiple actions in a simple command.

Monitoring

The WebLogic Diagnostic Framework (WLDF) is a monitoring and diagnostic suite. It provides WebLogic administrators with statistics for subsystems, like number of active threads and sessions. Information around this monitoring can be written to various notification channels such as log files, SMTP, SNMP, JMX and JMS.

Oracle WebLogic also offers support for more advanced monitoring features, like Self-Health Monitoring. This detects if a Managed server needs to be restarted due to some failures or SQL Leak Connection detection.

Azul Payara Server has an even wider variety of monitoring and notifications channels that includes a monitoring console, Payara InSight. This provides updates to alerts and watches, health checks, request tracing and slow SQL alerts in Azul Payara Platform.

Just as in Oracle WebLogic, various statistics are available in multiple formats and exposed in various ways:

  • As JMX Beans
  • As REST endpoints
  • In Prometheus ready format

But there are also many notification channels available. On top of the notification channels available within Oracle WebLogic, Azul Payara Server supports:

  • CDI
  • Slack
  • New Relic
  • DataDog

Just as Oracle WebLogic, the Azul Payara Platform has SQL Leak Connection detection when a connection isn’t returned properly to the pool. But it also offers other Health Checks, like Stuck Threads, Total Memory and Heap Memory checks, as well as CPU usage, just to name a few.

Request Tracing

Azul Payara Server’s Request Tracing Service offers a substantial advantage over WebLogic’s limited tracing capabilities. While WebLogic relies solely on the Jakarta RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) implementation’s built-in tracing, Payara goes far beyond that.

Azul Payara Server traces not only the REST endpoint calls but also goes deep into the time spent within EJB beans, CDI beans and Servlets, if they are annotated with @Traced. This comprehensive insight is recorded in the Payara Notification Service, providing a detailed breakdown of each request’s lifecycle. This makes it significantly easier to identify performance bottlenecks, even within complex chains of endpoints or interactions between various components.

Java SE Tools

Depending on the Edition of Oracle WebLogic Server you are using, you also have access to some Java SE products from Oracle. The most notable ones are:

  • JRockit JVM
  • JDK Flight Recorder (JFR)
  • JDK Mission Control (JMC)

The unique strengths of JRockit JVM are no longer exclusive to Oracle. Many have been integrated into Oracle JDK, some even OpenJDK. Additionally, JDK Flight Recorder and JDK Mission Control are now open-source and free to use from Java 11 onwards. Azul’s JDK Mission Control tool is available for JDK 8 users.

Azul Payara takes this a step further by partnering with Azul to provide comprehensive JDK support. This means if you encounter a JVM-related issue, Azul’s experts are on hand to help find a solution or provide a tailored fix. And as part of Payara’s long-term support commitment, Azul Payara customers benefit from continued access to JDK 8 security updates from Azul.

Protocols

Oracle WebLogic uses its own T3 protocol for handling JNDI remote calls but also for internal communications. It is TCP/IP-based and works over a single connection from client to server, so it has no issue with a Network Address Translation (NAT) component in the network path.

The Azul Payara Platform uses the RMI-IIOP protocol, which is defined within Java EE. RMI-IIOP requires a two-way connection whereby the client publishes its IP address that the server connects to. Besides being a standard, it also allows you to communicate with any compatible remote system, since IIOP is well established within the industry as a whole, not only within Java. Within WebLogic, RMI-IIOP can be activated if needed.

It’s important to note that if you are using the remote EJB functionality within a container environment in WebLogic, RMI-IIOP has issues with NAT (Network Address Translation). When NAT translates the addresses, the IP address that the client knows is not the IP address that the server knows to make a connection. As a result, establishing a connection to a remote EJB deployed within Azul Payara Server in a container environment like Docker will fail unless you configure the network accordingly, ensuring that both the client and server share the same network.

TLS v1.3 Support

Oracle WebLogic offers support for only TLS v1.3 when running on JDK 11. This version of the TLS is also supported on Azul Payara Server when running the Azul JDK 8 through the help of the OpenJSSE project. This allows you to get the improved security enhancement of TLS v1.3 even if you are not ready to move to JDK 11 yet.

Deployment

With Oracle WebLogic, you have the option to change the deployed application or change the descriptors, such as web.xml and ejb-jar.xml files, during deployment. According to the documentation, this capability can help correct some mistakes after deployment (like the wrong path for a servlet or correcting an EJB name) or change the deployed application according to the environment (test, production).

The equivalent within Azul Payara Server works with variable replacement. Instead of changing values by defining them in an XML file, as the Deployment Plan feature does, it is clearly indicated that the value at runtime will be taken from some configuration. These variables can be placed in many locations such as:

  • Descriptor files, like web.xml and faces-config.xml
  • Annotations, like @DataSource and @WebServlet
  • JNDI lookup values

You can check the documentation for a full description. The actual value can come from various sources like:

  • System properties
  • Environment variables
  • Aliases, such as password aliases, defined within Payara
  • And recently also from MicroProfile Config sources

WebLogic’s production redeployment enables simultaneous deployment of new and old application versions, allowing a seamless transition for existing client requests. However, Azul Payara Server does not have a built-in feature for this specific approach. Nonetheless, Payara supports the parallel deployments of multiple application versions, making it possible to have one active version while others are in a standby state.

Using the Data Grid to store HTTP session information, Payara enables a rolling upgrade process whereby you can switch the active version without interrupting user sessions. This method may have some limitations compared to WebLogic’s procedure, but achieving blue-green deployments is achievable using external tools, like load balancers and Kubernetes.

Cloud

Containerized environments are the de facto standards now. Oracle WebLogic has its own set of Docker images and numerous examples can be found on how an Orchestration tool like Kubernetes can be used in combination with the WebLogic Server.

Azul Payara Server is no exception in the cloud evolution, with official Docker images on DockerHub for the Payara Platform Community Edition and Azul Payara specific Docker Images in the Nexus repository (under the repo ‘payara-docker’) for Azul Payara customers.

Azul Payara Micro is also available. This is a specialized packaging of Azul Payara Server optimized for cloud and microservice environments. Azul Payara Server supports Docker nodes and instances to provide better native integration for Azul Payara Server with Docker by mimicking the behavior of the pre-existing SSH, DCOM or CONFIG node instances.

With Azul Payara Micro, (see also under the section of innovation), you can easily create a setup that is maintained by orchestration tools, like Kubernetes or Docker Swarm, and even makes use of the functionality of these tools, such as DNS management within Kubernetes.

IDE Support

All major IDEs, like IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans and Eclipse, offer support for both servers, meaning you can use your favorite IDE to develop your application. There exists also a GlassFish plugin for Oracle JDeveloper, if that is your IDE of choice. The plugin allows to start, stop and debug a GlassFish domain. Since Azul Payara Server has its roots in GlassFish, this plugin also works here. Azul Payara Server also has a VSCode plugin and dedicated IDE plugins for all major IDEs.

WebLogic Server offers support for FastSwap. This allows the server to pick up the changed classes without the need for a redeployment of the application. Azul Payara Platform, with its Hot Deploy feature, helps developers run and test applications immediately after making changes to its sources, without restarting the Server or having to carry out any manual redeployment. As a result, it is possible to maximize your productivity.

Support

As already mentioned, Azul Payara Server is a complete open-source product. You can get the Azul Payara Server Community Edition from the download section of the website and you can find the complete source code on GitHub. However, for companies using Azul Payara Platform in production, it is advisable to obtain Azul Payara for a secure, stable and fully supported software solution, including the following benefits:

  • Access to the monthly bug fix and patch releases to keep your server up to date and secure at all times
  • Support for a particular version up to 10 years in case you don’t want to or can’t update every month to the latest version
  • Support for your production and development issues directly from our global engineers with a guaranteed response time (depending on the support level, within 1 hour, 24/7)
  • Possibility to request new features to adapt Azul Payara Server to your needs

Innovation

The team behind Azul Payara Server is also actively working on the future of Java Enterprise applications. More precisely, Payara Services is an Eclipse Foundation Solutions Member and a Strategic Member of the Jakarta EE Working Group, shaping the future of Jakarta EE along with future versions of the platform. Even more, Azul Payara Server Enterprise is certified as a Jakarta EE 10 compatible product. In addition, Azul Payara Server Enterprise features a number of elements when it comes to application security. Using the Jakarta Security API (introduced in Java EE 8), there are various authentication and authorization schemes such as OAuth2, OpenID Connect and JWT tokens that have been implemented and are fully supported.

But enhancements are not only implemented around Java EE/Jakarta EE. Payara is also supporting the development and implementation of related technologies and frameworks. For example, we are actively involved in the MicroProfile Working Group focused on the MicroProfile specifications. We are not only defining these specifications together with the other involved parties, but Azul Payara Server was one of the first to combine the implementations of MicroProfile and the ability to run Java EE/Jakarta EE applications in one runtime. This gives you the ultimate flexibility to choose the right mix of dependencies for your use case and allows you to implement a strategy of gradual migration from the Java EE/Jakarta EE platform to a more microservice-like application structure, if needed.

For these microservice applications, Azul Payara Server has a special packaging called Azul Payara Micro. It provides additional specifications, like concurrency and the MicroProfile implementations, in a single JAR file. This Hollow Jar deployment model, whereby the server is in one single JAR and runs your application packaged as a WAR file, has many advantages over the Fat Jar approach. Each single application code change no longer results in the replacement of the layer in a Docker environment that also contains the server runtime. This reduces image sizes, bandwidth usages and deployment times.

In short, Azul Payara Server is not just keeping up with the times; it is driving the future of Java Enterprise application development.
