OOW19: WebLogic News

During the Oracle Open World 2019 were some announcements regarding Oracle WebLogic Server.

The last year announced WebLogic Server 19c for Q1/2019 disappeared ...
There will be no WebLogic Server 13 Release ...

But there will be:

  • WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4, which should come up shortly, as usual what shortly means in Oracle terms is not clearly defined :-)
    • The WebLogic Server 12.2.1.4 Release will be the Final Maintenance Release for 12.2.1.x, so don't expect too many new features
  • BETA Program for WebLogic Server 14.1.1 is announced and to be started shortly.
    • I really wonder who came to the idea with this Version numbering??? Is there any chance to consolidate the Version numbering of the Middleware Products with the Oracle Database Version numbering?
  • Oracle WebLogic Server on Microsoft Azure IaaS

Please note: WebLogic Server 14.1.1 is currently ONLY in BETA Program, so no downloads on "Technical Resources from Oracle (former OTN)" or on edelivery.oracle.com 
The new WebLogic 14.1.1 will support Java EE 8 and Jakarta EE 8.

If you are interested, you can register for the Beta Program under https://pdpm.oracle.com and if you are lucky, Oracle will select you to join the Beta Program.
