BEA WebLogic Enterprise lets you build J2EE applications that combine the best features of distributed objects and transaction processing technology. The applications have the advantage of a J2EE-compliant programming model, combined with a powerful and robust WebLogic Enterprise infrastructure. The information presented here is designed to help you get started, develop EJB and RMI applications, administer your systems, and find detailed reference descriptions. This information supplements the Sun Microsystems, Inc. evolving Enterprise JavaBeans 1.1 Specification (Public Release 2, October 18, 1999).

What's New

Learn about the new WLE J2EE features.

Programming

Explains how to build EJB and RMI applications.

Administration

Explains how to perform administration tasks for WLE applications.

Designing and Developing EJBs
in the WLE System
