This section describes the contents and organization of this guide—Programming Stand-alone Clients.
This document is a resource for software developers who want to develop stand-alone clients that inteoperate with WebLogic Server®.
The topics in this document are relevant during the design and development phases of a software project. The document also includes topics that are useful in solving application problems that are discovered during test and pre-production phases of a project.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with J2EE and JMS concepts. This document emphasizes the value-added features provided by WebLogic Server and key information about how to use WebLogic Server features and facilities when developing stand-alone clients.
application-client.xml
, and the WebLogic-specific client application deployment descriptor.
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 for developers. The examples and tutorials illustrate WebLogic Server in action, and provide practical instructions on how to perform key development tasks.
BEA recommends that you run some or all of the examples before developing your own applications.
MedRec is an end-to-end sample J2EE application shipped with WebLogic Server that simulates an independent, centralized medical record management system. The MedRec application provides a framework for patients, doctors, and administrators to manage patient data using a variety of different clients.
MedRec demonstrates WebLogic Server and J2EE features, and highlights BEA-recommended best practices. MedRec is included in the WebLogic Server distribution, and can be accessed from the Start menu on Windows machines. For Linux and other platforms, you can start MedRec from the WL_HOME\samples\domains\medrec
directory, where WL_HOME
is the top-level installation directory for WebLogic Platform.
MedRec includes a service tier comprised primarily of Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) that work together to process requests from web applications, web services, and workflow applications, and future client applications. The application includes message-driven, stateless session, stateful session, and entity EJBs.
WebLogic Server 9.0 optionally installs API code examples in WL_HOME\samples\server\examples\src\examples
, where WL_HOME is the top-level directory of your WebLogic Server installation. You can start the examples server, and obtain information about the samples and how to run them from the WebLogic Server 9.0 Start menu.
