The Java 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.

 Java API Reference
This guide provides the complete API for the WebLogic Enterprise system.

  Class hierarchy
  Class index
  JDBC API (external link to the BEA WebXpress division), with
     WebLogic Enterprise extensions

 OMG IDL
The Object Management Group (OMG) Interface Definition Language (IDL) is used to describe the interfaces that client objects call and that object implementations provide.

 Server Description File
Use the Server Description File to specify server configuration information that is used by the buildjavaserver command to create the server descriptor file, and optionally build a server jar file.

 TP Framework Classes
The TP Framework provides a programming framework that enables users to create servers for high-performance TP applications. This topic describes the architecture of and interfaces in the TP Framework, including:

    Class com.beasys.Tobj_Servant
    Class com.beasys.Tobj.Server
    Class com.beasys.Tobj.TP

 Bootstrap Class
Bootstrap objects are created by a client or a server application that must access object references to the Interface Repository, FactoryFinder, TransactionCurrent object, and the SecurityCurrent object. In addition, you can use the Bootstrap object to return information needed by the client application; for example, information needed to initialize the client ORB.

Class com.beasys.Tobj_Bootstrap documents the Bootstrap object API.

 FactoryFinder Interface
The FactoryFinder interface provides clients with one object reference that serves as the single point of entry into the domain. The CORBAservices Naming Service provides the mapping of factory names to object references for the FactoryFinder.

Interface com.beasys.Tobj.FactoryFinder documents the FactoryFinder interface API.

 Security Service
The purpose of client security is to enable WebLogic Enterprise clients to authenticate themselves via the IIOP Server Listener/Handler and to pass the WebLogic Enterprise security checks. The Security Service encompasses the following packages:

  Package org.omg.Security
  Package org.omg.SecurityLevel1
  Package org.omg.SecurityLevel2

 Transaction Service
The Transaction Service provides the following:

• An implementation of the CORBAservices Object Transaction Service (OTS) that is described in Chapter 10 of the CORBAservices: Common Object Services Specification (PDF file). This specification defines the interfaces for an object service that provides transactional functions.

  The Transaction Service API is documented in package org.omg.CosTransactions.

• Sun Microsystems, Inc. javax.transaction package, which implements the Java Transaction API (JTA).
