History

Weblogic, Inc., was founded by Paul Ambrose, Bob Pasker, Laurie Pitman, and Carl Resnikoff, in September, 1995.


Up until then, Paul and Carl had been developing (pre-JDBC) Oracle, Sybase, and Microsoft SQL Server database drivers for Java under the name dbKona, as well as a "three tier" server to permit applets to connect to these databases. An old dbKona/An T3 Usenet posting. This was the WebLogic 1.48 server, and was called T3Server (a bastardization of 3-Tier Server). The term Oracle database may refer either to the database management system (DBMS) software released by Oracle Corporation as Oracle RDBMS, or to any of the individual databases managed by such software. ... Sybase Inc. ... Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system (RDBMS) produced by Microsoft. ...


Concurrently, Laurie and Bob had been working on network management tools in Java. Bob had written a SNMP stack in Java and a W32 native method for ICMP ping, while Laurie worked on applets to display the management data.


One of the hidden features of the 1.48 server version was the ability to extend it by modifying a dispatcher and adding a handler for different types of messages. Bob talked Paul into sending him the source code for the server, and Bob extended it so that Applets could make SNMP and PING requests on the network, and display the results.


At this point, the founders worked together to pursue what was eventually to be called the Application Server.
