Oracle Announces Availability of Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.6)
Last week, Oracle was pleased to announce the availability of Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.6). This release is the latest patchset in the 11g line and contains several new features. The full set of new features and certifications can be found in the What's New document.
Several interesting feature highlights:
- This release of WebLogic Server adds support for Java SE 7.
- With JMS, you can configure a JDBC TLOG store to persist transaction logs to a database.
- With DataSources, you can configure a WebLogic data source to allow a connection to set database credentials when connecting to an Oracle database and you can configure a WebLogic data source to allow a client to connect to an Oracle database through an application server as a proxy user.
- Support for GlassFish Web descriptors.
- With Web Services, Jersey JAX-RS Reference Implementation (RI) Version 1.9 is now delivered as a shared library.

SSL offloading and WebLogic server redux - client x.509 certificates
The Oracle A-Team have posted a reminder of how to configure WebLogic Server to handle SSL and client-certificate authentications.
I recently had to revisit the subject of SSL offloading and WebLogic server to include the ability to do client certificate authentication. I was specifically doing this for use with Oracle Access Manager 11g, but the configuration steps are identical whether you are using OAM or just WebLogic.

A Quick Look at RESTful Management Services with WebLogic Server 12c
Andreas Koop takes a quick look at the new RESTful Management Services that are avaialable with WebLogic Server 12c, demonstrating how it's possible to access the current status of a WebLogic Server domain, cluster and associated resources using a REST client.
With these capabilities it' possible to implement a custom monitoring solution. A slim mobile wls monitoring app (and more)! => Hands on;)

Hello : we are using web logic server in our Organization.
How can i know the Release and the version.? on screen it is showing 11g and bottom side 10.3.6?? Tell me ..Also i need the Performance,Usability ..and The Forms and reports for this App server.IS this Version supports Forms and Reports .I need the Performance Reports...
It looks to me that you have the release and version information already.
If it's showing "11g" and "10.3.6" that then is Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.6).
There were multiple minor versions released under the 11g umbrella - ranging from 10.3.1 to 10.3.6.
I am not familiar with the Forms and Reports options of Fusion Middleware - I'd suggest looking for information either on the Forms/Reports section of OTN:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/overview/index.html
This section also has whitepapers and links to presentations that may provide information relating to performance and scalability.
The documentation also has an installation guide which should give you the required steps to install the product:
