Designing and Developing EJBs
    in the WLE System

Discusses EJB application design considerations, describes how the WLE system supports the EJB model, and explains the basic steps for developing an EJB application that can be deployed in the WLE environment.

Building and Deploying EJBs

Describes the basic tasks associated with building and deploying both standand and deployable EJBs. This topic focuses on the deployment characteristics of the WLE environment.

Using the WLE EJB Deployer

Explains how to use the WebLogic EJB Deployer to examine, configure, and deploy EJBs on the WLE system.

Using the WLE SPI Implementation for JNDI

Explains how to use the BEA WebLogic Enterprise (WLE) Service Provider Interface (SPI) implementation for Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) in WLE applications.

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.

Using JDBC Connection Pooling

Opening and closing JDBC connections are expensive operations. Creating a pool of JDBC connections gives WLE applications ready access to connections that are already open. It removes the overhead of opening a new connection for each database user. This topic shows you how.

Using RMI in a WebLogic Enterprise Environment

Explains what RMI is and how it relates to J2EE programming in WLE, and describes how to develop RMI applications in a WLE environment.

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.

Sample Applications

Provides links to the WLE sample applications, including the EJB and RMI sample applications.

EJB XML Reference

Provides XML reference information for configuring EJBs used in applications that run under WebLogic Enterprise (WLE). It describes the XML DTD for the EJB deployment descriptor, as specified in Sun Microsystem's Enterprise JavaBeans Specification 1.1 (Public Release 2, dated October 18, 1999). It also describes the WebLogic EJB extensions to the deployment descriptor DTD, which are WLE-specific XML elements used to further configure EJBs.
