Hello Nick (niq), ezra-s here. I don't vouch for oracle documentation as inquestionable but I'll try to explain the best I can in my experience.
WLSRequest on * Lower overhead with WLSRequest on as opposed to SetHandler weblogic-handler common method to handle when locations / extensions should be proxied to weblogic backend. * Documentroot on slow filesystem, as of nfs, I have experiened this. * Resolves 403 errors for URIs which cannot be mapped to the For what I understand it means that filesystem is not checked with WLSRequest, but it is when you use the common SetHandler weblogic-handler method to make a specific location/file be proxied to weblogic server. About "filesystem length restrictions" I also have seen this with requests with a very long uri, we even have had some queries about this one in #httpd. Not sure it 100% related, but when compiling apr "make test" will report an error for this too, in ext4 at least, haven't checked others filesystems.
