BEA Liquid Data for WebLogic™ delivers Information Visibility through real-time data aggregation across heterogeneous data sources such as relational databases, XML files, Web services, and packaged and custom applications via Application Views. It makes the complex task of aggregating data from distributed systems easy, allowing developers to access and share business entities without having to deal with the complexities of different data structures, relationships or semantics. Liquid Data for WebLogic builds on existing IT infrastructure and leverages XML standards, and BEA WebLogic Server capabilities for security, clustering, manageability, and more to provide an enterprise-wide data aggregation solution.
