I read from Oracle's documentation, and it seems that managed servers are basically WebLogic servers(the application server we download from their site). But I also watched a youtube video, which says that SOA suite, service bus are the managed servers. So I am a little confused. Could someone explained this to me?

@michelz sorry, it's just some terminology confusion. – Yang Jy Jul 21 '12 at 8:51

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

WebLogic server isn't even a managed server, it's simply an application layer. So no, managed servers are not all WebLogic servers, although a very small percentage of them do use WebLogic.

One instance of WebLogic Server in each domain acts as an Administration Server. The Administration Server provides a central point for managing a WebLogic Server domain. All other WebLogic Server instances in a domain are called Managed Servers. It's from Oracle's website. I wonder if this is their official definition of managed server... – Yang Jy Jul 21 '12 at 13:30
@Yang, that quote does not contradict anything I've said. I believe the problem from your perspective is, as you stated in a comment, that it's just confusing terminology. Oracle's terminology isn't the same as what the rest of the planet recognises as managed servers, which is where a third party manages servers on behalf of its clients. – John Gardeniers Jul 21 '12 at 21:14
