BEA Validated
For specific information regarding the validation requirements for WebLogic Controls and WebLogic Workshop Extensions, please read their corresponding test plans. The following provides a brief overview of the BEA Validated Test Program, covering all aspects of validation testing - from basic program requirements to how to submit products for testing.

WebLogic Controls
Workshop Java Controls provide developers the ability to easily connect with existing data, systems, applications, and business logic. In addition to the suite of built-in Java Controls, Workshop also makes the Java Controls model extensible so that all users (including ISVs) can build custom Java Controls - re-usable business logic components that seamlessly plug into the Workshop integrated development environment.

WebLogic Extensions
Commonly referred to as "Add-ins" or "Plug-ins" on other development environments, Workshop IDE Extensions provide additional functionality to the Workshop development environment such as new visual designers, project types, menus, dialogs, buttons, custom tag libraries, and help.
