conf2admin Script Generation Utility
conf2admin is a script generation utility that can generate weblogic.Admin commands from a config.xml. These script commands can then be used to recreate elements of a WebLogic Server domain in another WebLogic Server domain. It also alleviates some burden of understanding all the syntax associated with a scripting language.

DB Cruiser
DB Cruiser is a Web database-access tool with report functionality. It's built using servlet/JSP and JDBC and runs on any J2EE-compliant servlet engine/container like WebLogic or TOMCAT. It allows you to access SQL databases from your Web browsers and explore information about databases, view and manipulate data, and generate simple reports. Since DB Cruiser is a Web application, it only needs to be installed once on a server. Once it's installed, anyone can access any SQL database in the organization from browsers without installing software on the desktop computers (as long as the database has JDBC 2.0 or later drivers).

JSP Precompilation Test Utility
This utility determines if JSPs have been precompiled correctly with WebLogic JSPC within a Web application. The Web application can be available in exploded or archived format. This tool decompiles and analyzes the generated class files using the open source tool BCEL without the need of any WebLogic classes in the classpath.

JSP Precompile Validation Utility
This utility can be used to process a WAR file and verify that JSPs within the war file are in such a state that they will not get parsed and recompiled when deployed into a WebLogic server. This debugging tool helps you to find out (if you use the JSPC tool provided by WebLogic) why your JSPs are still getting recompiled by the server.

Liquid Data JDBC Driver
The Liquid Data JDBC Driver provides access to the Liquid Data Server via JDBC APIs. One uses the JDBC interface to execute adhoc xqueries or stored queries on the Liquid Data server. The stored queries in Liquid Data are represented as stored procedures and the non-parameterized views in Liquid Data are represented as tables of type view. The resultset returned is equivalent to non-hierarchical XML results returned by the queries. The metadata detail is only provided for stored queries and views that can return non-hierarchical data only.

MBean Explorer
This Swing GUI based utility is intended for programmers who want to write JMX programs. WebLogic Server documentation provides very good information about WebLogic Server implementation, but some programmers might be puzzled because of a lot of APIs. This utility gets all MBean instances from WebLogic Server and shows a tree structure of them. Using Java reflection, it automatically finds getter methods of MBeans and displays their values. The ZIP file includes a viewlet that shows you how to use this utility. This utility has been tested with WebLogic Server 7.0.
