What is the difference between generic server and server in weblogic? - weblogic

I am confused, what is difference between generic web server and web server in weblogic?

Generic server is a special server and run time implementation of base server tooling that can adjust its behavior by a server type definition file. Server type definition files are XML based meta information files that are introduced using "org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.core.serverdefinition" extension point.This document describes the different parts of the server definition files.
WebLogic Server implements Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) version 1.3 technologies (http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/index.html). J2EE is the standard platform for developing multi-tier Enterprise applications based on the Java programming language. The technologies that make up J2EE were developed collaboratively by Sun Microsystems and other software vendors, including BEA Systems.
WebLogic Server J2EE applications are based on standardized, modular components. WebLogic Server provides a complete set of services for those modules and handles many details of application behavior automatically, without requiring programming.

Using ArcGIS Runtime .NET for services

Is it allowed to build a .NET service for ReverseGeoCoding (LocalLocatorTask) which runs on a server?
We would like to build a service which translates GPS-coordinates to addresses using ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET. We are already licensed to use the Standard license needed for LocalLocators.
But now we've heard is not allowed to build server applications, is this true and where can I find this in the terms and conditions?
Thanks,
Frederiek
No it isn't allowed (though I can't find the exact wording) as it basically negates the need for ArcGIS Server or the need for multiple user accounts when the same functionality is deployed as an app.
If you can't use it as an app or use ArcGIS Server / Online directly and really need a windows service then you will need to write your own code to do it. If you can use ArcGIS Server services from the windows service I have a project that manages the REST calls at https://github.com/davetimmins/ArcGIS.PCL
This is currently prohibited by the license agreement, though there is no technical reason why it wouldn't work. It is not tested or certified for services environments by Esri development teams.

SSO between application running on Glassfish 4.1 and one running on Oracle Application Server 10g

I have to implements a single sign on procedure between 2 web applications.
One of them is running on OAS version 10.1.2, developed using JDeveloper 10g, the application uses ADF framework (10.1.2) and Java 1.4. It authenticates users using a JAZN.xml file, so the users/ passwords aren't in database.
The other is a RESTful application running on a Glassfish 4.1 server, developped in Java 8. Each modules are bundled as OSGi bundles. Authentication not implemented yet.
We were planning on using an LDAP server (Oracle Internet Directory, the only one working with ADF 10.1.2) but I can't seem to be able to find clear documentation about it.
I've found http://java2go.blogspot.com/2012/05/oracle-adf-with-sso-definitive-guide.html which is for WebLogic not OAS, and http://sqltech.cl/doc/oas10gR31/web.1013/b28967/adding_security001.htm which is for version 10.1.3
1- Is there a place with more documentation, how-to, on LDAP configuration with ADF 10.1.2?
2- Is it possible to manage Users/password from the app using LDAP authentication or we must connect to LDAP server to change/create users/passwords?
3- what do you think would be a better approach to implement SSO?

How many geodatabases may be authorized per ArcGIS Server?

I need to create and authorize a new ESRI ArcGIS enterprise geodatabase. Our organization has an existing ArcGIS Server license that has already authorized one ESRI ArcGIS enterprise geodatabase. Will I be able to specify the existing ArcGIS Server authorization file to create another enterprise geodatabase within the same organization and network? I would just try except that someone else administers the ArcGIS Server and we are still in the planning stage.
I understand that we will need ArcGIS for Desktop Standard or Advanced (not Basic) to Create an Enterprise geodatabase.
Thank you very much - Tim
ArcGIS for Server, which includes enterprise geodatabases, is typically licensed per CPU core (more info). So if you're licensed to run one enterprise geodatabase on a machine, you're licensed to run as many enterprise geodatabases as you want on that machine, or as many as that machine will actually handle. How many it can handle depends on many factors: the hardware, the data, how well you maintain your database, other software running on the machine, etc. etc. etc.
The point is that yes, you can use the same authorization file to create multiple geodatabases.
You're correct that you need ArcGIS for Desktop Standard or Advanced to run the Create Enterprise Geodatabase tool.

worklight Server with multiple database installations

Does anyone know if it is possible to install more than one database in Worklight Server?
Reason for that; I have different underdevelopment applications, developed using different databases (DB2,MySQL, and Derby).
There are some flaws in this question...
you do not install databases in Worklight. Rather, Worklight uses the database you choose to use for it.
You do not develop applications using databases. Rather, your applications communicate with databases and other backend systems (in the case of Worklight, using adapters).
The answer is No.In worklight.properties you may specify only 1 database type for Worklight Server to work with.
In Worklight 5, 1 Worklight project = 1 Worklight Server instance, with its own specific setup.
A Worklight project may contain several applications, depending on how and what you develop. This way you could switch them all to use the same database type.
Extra:
The only time where you can specify another, different or not, database type is when you have Reports enabled. This, however, would not be a recommended approach. You shouldn't use different database types for the same instance of Worklight.
Also, the concept you mention is not possible in Worklight. For different applications to communicate with different databases, it means your applications belong to different Worklight projects, which means that each project belong to a different Worklight Server. In this case, if you have multiple Worklight Servers, then sure, each server can work with a different database, but you cannot have 1 Worklight Server to communicate with multiple databases, each catering for a different Worklight project.

Windows AMIs with .NET 4?

Are there any Amazon-provided Windows AMIs that have the .NET 4 framework pre-installed? Unless I'm missing something, it looks like 3.5 is available on the images (such as ami-cab91da3), but not .NET Framework 4.
If not, can we expect updates to the AMIs to include .NET 4 in the near future? It's been officially released for almost two years at this point. Or am I responsible for installing it and building (and maintaining) a custom AMI?
(cross-posted from AWS Forums)
The 'official ' Amazon EC2 AMIs for running Windows Server & SQL Server on Amazon EC2 (likely with Microsoft being involved in these offerings) primarily mirror respective official OS offerings from Microsoft (plus server versions eventually, like SQL Server or IIS). Therefore the .NET Framework 4 will only be pre-installed if either the provided OS (plus service pack) or the installed servers do require and respectively provide it as their default configuration.
That is the case with the recently Updated Microsoft SQL Server Offerings indeed, insofar SQL Server 2012 requires the .NET Framework 4 indeed, see Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2012. Section Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2012 lists the respective AMI catalog entries accordingly:
SQL Server 2012 Express (AMI catalog entry)
SQL Server 2012 Web Edition (AMI catalog entry)
SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition (AMI catalog entry)
