  I have tried several times to send an email using your contact formular but I always got “Email could not be sent”. Is there any other way or email address which I can use for a contact and qustion ?

  You can ask your questions in comments – this probably the easiest way.

  Hi Rene,

  Middleware Magic blog is simply awesome ,i have got lot of inofrmation on WL from the posts here.

  1>I need inofrmation on how do we configure Weblogic as webserver.
  - I tried by giving the port as 80 in the console for the managed server and by the hostname the application has been accessed, now how do we configure say if we have 3/4 managed instances in same domain.

  2> How can we configure compression and caching for Weblogic as Webserver.
  - In case of Apache / IIS we can perform using the mod deflate and so on.

  Any suggestions on the above questions will be really grateful.

  Thanks,
  Chetan K

  Hi Rene,

  Thanks for the link.

  Actually in my case i am having only one managed server which is acting as application server and webserver , to make this work i have modified the port as 80 and hence it is workign fine.

  I need your suggestions on How to enable compression and caching for this weblogic as webserver which is running on port 80.

  In case if we use Apache / IIS we can enable compression & caching at the webserver level.

  I have verified this link :
  middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=5916

  Here am stuck with and confused on how to enable compression & caching.

  Thanks for all the help.

  As Jay points out you can add a weblogic.xml file to your application (or use deployment plans) and set
  the compress-html-template to true – docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/e13712/weblogic_xml.htm#autoId10

  For caching you could use the CacheFilter – docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs103/javadocs/weblogic/cache/filter/CacheFilter.html

  The CacheFilter is registered like any other servlet filter. Define the filter in the web.xml file, and
  specify the url-pattern of the page or pages to cache. Use initialization parameters in the filter
  registration to define timeout criteria and other cache control values. For example, to cache the
  response from a specific JSP page for 60 seconds, register the CacheFilter using elements similar to
  the following:

  <filter>
  <filter-name>CacheFilter1</filter-name>
  <filter-class>weblogic.cache.filter.CacheFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>
  <param-name>timeout</param-name>
  <param-value>60</param-value>
  </init-param>
  </filter>
  ...
  <filter-mapping>
  <filter-name>CacheFilter1</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>CacheFilterTest1.jsp</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
  

  The CacheFilterTest1.jsp page will execute the first time the URL is accessed by any client, and the
  content of the HTTP response will be cached by the filter and used for all subsequent access requests for
  60 seconds.
