1 Introduction

This chapter introduces the guide, Administering Oracle WebLogic Server with RESTful Management Services, and describes the Oracle WebLogic Server REST resources and the WLS REST API reference documentation.

Information Roadmap

The Oracle WebLogic Server REST resources are based on WLS bean trees and organized according to their corresponding root resources. See Mapping the WLS Beans to REST.

Each REST manual refers to resources accessible to domain user roles. In the reference guides, REST resources:

  • Run at the domain level.

  • Must be accessed over a URL by a user defined in the domain's default security realm.

  • Can be used to manage a domain.

  • Can be used to manage all WLS MBeans.

See Table 1-1 for a complete listing of the Oracle WebLogic Server REST reference documents and descriptions of their use.
