The first enhancement I noticed is that BEA has simplified WebLogic's previously overcrowded management console. Categories are more specific, and infrequently used items have been moved to the development tool or eliminated. BEA has also created JDBC connection wizards. I had some problems with the interface, however, and had to install open-source driver MySQL before the wizards could generate connections. This is necessary for all JDBC connections, even ones that use JDBC drivers provided by BEA. Installing the JDBC was a pain, but it was much easier overall than the old way of configuring each JDBC parameter by hand.
