Unified, Easy to Use, Development Environment and Programming Model
I think it's just "Server" that was released - not "Platform" (which includes Workshop). I sincerely hope they release a beta2 on the platform if GA is still months away... there are still many moving targets in "beta" which makes planning / developing for it a challenge.
cheers,

BEA currently is planning support for RedHat AS64, in July of 2003 and
Solaris 64 bit support is in plan but not yet scheduled. However it is
important to note that this does not represent a commitment from BEA
and is subject to change. -

Does anyone know when WLI 8.1 will *really* support BPEL? IBM, Microsoft and Collaxa already have been are or shortly about to ship such products.
Cheers.

I'll go ahead and ask a really stupid question, but is it possible to use WL for non-commerical purposes (e.g. personal development, hosting personal non-commerciall applications) for free? I'd love to tinker with it so I can put it on my resume. -

You can tinker with it during trial period. It's long enaugh for that.
