Hi,<br />
We have now oracle weblogic running OK with one production server FManagedServer. See image attached. <br />
Now I want to create a cluster. Questions are:<br />
1- Can I clone this production server FManagedServer to a new server FManagedServer2 and create a new cluster for free? I mean, without to pay nothing else?<br />
2- Can I use apache server as inverse proxy (balancer) to this cluster?<br />
2- If there another requirement to create a weblogic cluster?<br />

questions about oracle weblogic cluster

An application server is a software framework that provides both facilities to create applications and a server environment to run them. Most application server frameworks contain a comprehensive service layer model, acting as a set of components accessible to the software developer through an API defined by the platform itself. For Web applications, these components are usually performed in the same running environment as their web server(s), and their main job is to support the construction of dynamic pages. However, many application servers target much more than just Web page generation: they implement services like clustering, fail-over, and load-balancing.

Application Servers

Java application servers that support the Java EE platform and features include JOnAS from Object Web, WildFly (formerly JBoss AS) from JBoss, Geronimo from Apache, TomEE from Apache, Resin Java Application Server from Caucho Technology, Blazix from Desiderata Software, Enhydra Server from Enhydra.org, and GlassFish from Oracle. Commercial Java app servers include WebLogic by Oracle, WebSphere from IBM and the open source JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) by Red Hat.

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.
