WLS Architectures

Was having an interesting discussion this morning regarding WLS architectures. The discussion centered around the notion of if one should use multiple WLS installations (ie: separate domain/server for each) to manage a project that has the need to deploy different apps to different containers. Or to use a single domain installation with multiple managed servers under that domain.

Either way it should be a non-issue for JDeveloper to manage this as you can create multiple integrated server references by using the tools | preferences | run selection and then selecting "Edit Server Instances" and therein register each of the individual "integrated" servers. You can then through the application properties choose which server the application is bound to. You can even have JDev manage the lifecycle for these additional integrated servers via a checkbox when registering the servers with JDev.

Of course the developers wouldn't make it that easy as they're also requiring separate domain templates to be utilized...

All very interesting.
