This set of guides describes how to create distributed client and server applications using the WebLogic Enterprise system. The guides contain brief descriptions of product concepts, and step-by-step instructions for developing CORBA client applications, ActiveX client applications, Java server applications, and C++ server applications. Sample applications are used throughout the guides to illustrate development tasks.
