We use induction and interpolation techniques to prove that a composition operator induced by a map ϕ is bounded on the weighted Bergman space of the right half-plane if and only if ϕ fixes the point at ∞ non-tangentially and if it has a finite angular derivative λ there. We further prove that in this case the norm, the essential norm and the spectral radius of the operator are all equal and are given by λ(2+α)/2.
