Optimizing Application Performance

Understanding how WebLogic Server handles requests by assigning them execute threads is critical to learning how to manage server workloads. In the following sections, let's investigate WebLogic Server thread pools and how the server uses the concept of Work Managers to provide you a way to control thread utilization.
