One of my previous blog entry was about my presentation at Los Angeles BEA Users Group (LABEAUG). The presentation was about different strategies for doing WebLogic domain configuration. I was amazed by the overwhelming interest in the presentation from the members of the dev2dev community. Quite a few of you followed the blog entry to download the presentation here. Some of you have even blogged about subject sharing your experience.
I think there are number of factors that contribute to this interest. I imagine that we are developing complex applications that require significant domain configuration. You, and I, are in search of solutions that can help automate this process. Even BEA is realizing this need by bundling WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) with WebLogic Server (WLS) 9. Additionally, companies are hiring people with specific role of WebLogic administrators. The tools and techniques mentioned in the presentation (and the articles) are core weapons in their arsenal.
Have you tried the tools and techniques described in the presentation? What did you like and more importantly what you did not like?
Drop me a note and let me know what you think,

I think there's a lot of interest in this because prior to the offline scripting tool, there was no way to do it. Not really even a peep out of BEA about best practices or good ideas. So there's a lot of one-off, home grown things out there. I tackled it by templating the config.xml, which isn't perfect but satisfied our needs.

Thanks Rob...
A while back I tried WLShell and WSLT in offline modes. They are lacking to say the least.
The silient scripts do work well in the offline model, but they lack power:) I am interested to see in 9, if WLST offline drastically improves. Will the silient script mechanism be deprecated?
An interesting question is when does it make sense to do offline versus online configuration? What the "idea" use-cases for both? For example, whey did you choose to do offline configuration?
Best regards,
