This section describes the contents and organization of this guide—Configuring and Managing WebLogic Store-and-Forward.
This document is a resource for system administrators responsible for configuring, managing, and monitoring the WebLogic Store-and-Forward service for use with WebLogic JMS and Web Services Reliable Messaging (WSRM).
The topics in this document are relevant to production phase administration, monitoring, or performance tuning topics. This document does not address the pre-production development or testing phases of a software project. For links to WebLogic Server documentation and resources for these topics, see Related Documentation.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with WebLogic Server system administration. This document emphasizes the value-added features provided by WebLogic SAF and key information about how to use WebLogic Server features and facilities to maintain WebLogic Server in a production environment.
This document contains SAF-specific configuration and maintenance information.
For comprehensive guidelines for developing, deploying, and monitoring WebLogic Server applications, see the following documents:
In addition to this document, BEA Systems provides a variety of code samples and tutorials that show WebLogic Server configuration and API use, and provide practical instructions on how to perform key development tasks. BEA recommends that you run some or all of the samples before configuring your own system.
Additional API examples for download at http://codesamples.projects.dev2dev.bea.com. These examples are distributed as ZIP files that you can unzip into an existing WebLogic Server samples directory structure.
You build and run the downloadable examples in the same manner as you would an installed WebLogic Server example. See the download pages of individual examples for more information at https://codesample.projects.dev2dev.bea.com

The following section provides information on new features in this release:
Note: | WebLogic Server changed substantially in version 9.0, and these changes apply to later releases as well. For a detailed description of features and functionality introduced in WebLogic Server 9.0, see " What's New in WebLogic Server 9.0. For information about new and changed functionality in subsequent releases, see the What's New in WebLogic Server document for each release. |
The WebLogic Store-and-Forward (SAF) service introduced in release 9.0 enables WebLogic Server to reliably deliver JMS messages between server-side JMS applications distributed across WebLogic Server clusters, domains, and server instances. In release 9.2, the SAF client provides a mechanism whereby standalone clients can reliably send JMS messages to server-side JMS destinations, even when the SAF client cannot reach the JMS destination due to a network connection failure (e.g., a temporary blip or a network failure). While disconnected, messages sent by a SAF client are stored locally on the client and are forwarded to server-side JMS destinations once the client is reconnected.
