Yes, except that OFFICIALLY, Visual Cafe 3.1 doesn't even support the
current WebLogic 4.51, only 4.03 (or whatever the 4.0x version was). It does
work for the most part with 4.51, but out of 3 developers at work, one
couldn't get it going. It also does not support JDK 1.2 distributed
debugging. So if you want to debug 1.2 you are out of luck (this is not a
WebLogic issue, Cafe doesn't seem to support any distributed debugging of
1.2 JDK apps).
Cafe is also buggy and crashes pretty often. It's EJB support is somewhat
handy, but you can make a project for only one bean at a time, so if you
have dozens of beans you would be forced to load them in and compile them
and deploy them one by one.
Personally, I would stay away from it, and build some scripts in something
like ANT (what we did) or 'make' to set up a build process. For debugging,
you can run a lot of EJB servers from within Kawa, which is just a thin
shell and doesn't use much memory. It supports JDK 1.2's JPDA debugging and
works quite well.
