End of last year I wrote how to create a demo community of users in your Weblogic using wlst.Using these scripts I wanted to do the same at my current customer: creating test users in the DefaultAuthenticator.

According to the docs, a plan is - an abstraction between applications (the clients consuming APIs) and APIs to allow fine-grained access entitlements to all APIs that are part of a plan.

  Recently, I have been playing a lot with Functions and Project Fn. Eventually, I got to the point where I had to go beyond a playground on my laptop and go to the real wild world. An idea of running Fn on a K8s cluster seemed very attractive to me and I decided to do that somewhere on prem or in the cloud.  After doing some research on how to install and configure K8s cluster on your own on a bare metal I came to a conclusion that I was too lazy for that. So, I went (flew)...

Introduction It wasn’t that many years ago that service-oriented architecture (SOA) was the hot, new, bleeding edge enterprise computing paradigm. Most organizations and vendors jumped on that bandwagon and everything became “service-oriented”. Organizations and vendors both made great claims about how SOA would revolutionize the way applications were built, the amount of reuse that would be achieved, and how application time to market would be greatly reduced. In addition,...
