When at work, I’m generally in the worlds of Windows and Solaris. But these days I’m doing my home development work on a MacBook Pro. But I’m keen to make sure that I can do everything that I do at work so that I can experiment in my own time. So here’s a list of the software I use to develop on the Mac and where to get it.

I mentioned my use of the WebLogic Scripting Tool a little while back. I have noticed since then that a number of folks visiting this site are looking for example scripts. I have obviously written a number myself and I promise I’ll try to get around to posting them here. However until I get myself in gear, I thought I would point you at some useful examples that are already out there. I’ll expand this post as I find more…
Since I’m now playing around on a MacBook Pro I thought I’d see whether it was possible to get BEA WebLogic running on it. As it turns out it’s quite simple. These instructions seem to apply to anything from 9.0 upwards, but there’s a link to instructions for 8.1 below.
According to the BEA documentation, the WebLogic Scripting Tool is a command-line scripting interface that system administrators and operators use to monitor and manage WebLogic Server instances and domains.

It can also be used for creating and modifying a domain in its offline mode. It comes as standard with WebLogic 9.2 and a version is available for 8.1. It is recommended and supported by BEA for automating WebLogic server administration. I am currently developing WLST scripts to improve the development and deployment process. Read more
