Configuring EIS Connection Specification Options at the Session Level

You can configure connection information at the session level for an EIS application. This information is stored in the sessions.xml file. The Oracle TopLink runtime uses this information whenever you perform a persistence operation using the session in your EIS application.

This connection configuration overrides the connection information at the project level, if configured. For more information about project-level configuration, see "Configuring Development and Deployment Logins" and "Configuring EIS Connection Specification Options at the Project Level".

This connection configuration is overridden by the connection information at the connection pool level. For more information about connection pool-level configuration, see "Configuring Connection Pool Connection Options".
