What's New

Learn about the new WLE CORBA features.

Getting Started

Takes you step-by-step through the process of building and developing a WLE application. The CORBA samples use simple transactions and security settings, and default programming and administration values.

Programming

Explains how to build CORBA C++ and CORBA Java applications.

Administration

Explains how to perform administration tasks for WLE applications.

Sample Code

Provides pointers to the WLE sample applications, including the CORBA C++ and CORBA Java samples.

Creating CORBA Client Applications

Explains how CORBA and ActiveX client applications access WebLogic Enterprise server applications and describes the development steps common to all WebLogic Enterprise client applications.

Creating CORBA C++ Server Applications

Explains how to create scalable, high-performance C++ server applications using the WebLogic Enterprise system.

Creating CORBA Java Server Applications

Explains how to create scalable, high-performance Java server applications using the WebLogic Enterprise system.

Using Security

Provides an introduction to the concepts associated with the WLE security features, a description of how to secure your WLE applications using the security features, and a guide to the use of the APIs in the WLE Security Service.

Using Transactions

Explains how to use transactions in CORBA, EJB, and RMI applications that run on the WebLogic Enterprise system.

Using the Notification Service

Describes using the Notification Service in the WebLogic Enterprise product. This document defines concepts associated with using the Notification Service and describes the development process for Java and C++ applications. In addition, instructions for building and running the Notification sample applications and descriptions of the Notification Service application programming interface (API) and administrative tasks and tools are included in this document..

WebLogic Enterprise Reference

Describes the format and semantics of WLE commands and file formats that you can use with CORBA C++ and CORBA Java applications.

CORBA C++ Programming Reference

Provides programmer reference information about the Object Management Group Interface Definition Language (OMG IDL), Implementation Configuration File (ICF), TP Framework application programming interface (API), Bootstrap object, mapping OMG to C++, CORBA API, Server-side mapping, and other APIs.

CORBA Java Programming Reference

Includes a comprehensive description of each of the Java classes and interfaces in the WebLogic Enterprise system. This guide shows the class structure for each system component, provides detailed programmer information on using the API, and describes each of the commands used for developing WebLogic Enterprise server applications.

Using the idltojava Compiler

Describes how to build Java applications that interoperate with CORBA objects. Explains how to use the idltojava compiler to convert IDL files to Java stub and skeleton files. Discusses the relationship of Java IDL to CORBA.

Using the JDBC Drivers

Explains how to use the JDBC drivers included with the WebLogic Enterprise software, including the WLE JDBC/XA driver, the jdbcKona drivers for Oracle and MSSQLServer4, and the jdbcKona extensions to the JDBC API.

Tuning and Scaling Applications

Explains how to scale and tune CORBA, EJB, and RMI applications that run on WebLogic Enterprise (WLE) from BEA Systems, Inc.

System Messages

Documents the system messages catalogs for the WLE and relavant TUXEDO components.
