But what if HR has the staff available? Shouldn't that be checked first?

I agree with the need for a direct talk, but what if the functional manager is just uncooperative? I wonder if asking leadership for help might be a better option.

I feel like confronting the functional manager might escalate things. It seems more effective to have a conversation first before evaluating impacts.

I'm not sure, but I remember a practice question where involving HR was suggested first. Maybe checking with them could clarify the situation?

I think I've got a handle on this. The key is to focus on the specific details in the question and the exhibit, and not make any assumptions.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. I know WebLogic is an application server, but I'm not very familiar with its specific features. I'll have to think carefully about what sets it apart from a basic Java EE container.
