Weblog:   run WebLogic Server 8.1 on Mac OS X (Panther)

It looks like that ZIP file contains the JNI IO accelerators, so presumably it would make WLS faster, but you don't need them. You can run through the normal installation procedure using the Swing installer (rather than a native one) and it all works. When you do that, then you can create a server and domain using the wizard and be up and running.


On my 1.25 G4 with 896 MB of RAM with a pretty simple app (15 entities, only a couple session beans, no JMS, nothing else fancy), it takes about 55 seconds to launch. Initial JSP compilation feels comparitively slow, but other than that it just feels like normal WLS. (The admin applet is kind of screwy for me, so I just use the HTML links.)


I've only been running it for a couple months, only one node and not really stressing anything, but ex-cow-orkers used the same procedure to get WLS 6 running under JDK 1.3.1 on 10.1. (I was never able to get WLS 7 running... it would look like it would try to allocate memory until it filled the machine and wouldn't ever get to user code.)
