Things good to know before deploying application on Oracle WLS  

i) User with Admin or Deployer role can deploy application

ii) Weblogic supports following type of deployment unit
a) EAR file (Enterprise Archive)
b) WAR file (Web Archive) 
c) JAR files, EJB (Enterprise Java Beans)
d) RAR (Resource Adapter/Connector )
