public interface WLContext
extends Context

Interface for a WebLogic naming context. This extends javax.naming.Context with several WebLogic-specific environment properties, and methods for deleting one of several objects stored in a pool under one name.

Field Detail

CREATE_INTERMEDIATE_CONTEXTS

static final String CREATE_INTERMEDIATE_CONTEXTS

Specifies how to handle non-existent intermediate contexts. If this property is true, performing a bind, rebind, or createSubcontext with a name that specifies non- existent intermediate contexts will cause those contexts to be created.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

DELEGATE_ENVIRONMENT

static final String DELEGATE_ENVIRONMENT

Specifies the JNDI environment to use for connecting to a third-party naming service through the WebLogic Server. When this property is specified, WLInitialContextFactory uses the WebLogic Server to create a three-tier connection to a third-party naming service. The properties contained in the Hashtable specified by this property are used to create an initial context for the third-party naming service, upon which the original initial context delegates its work to the third-party's initial context.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

PROVIDER_RJVM

static final String PROVIDER_RJVM

Specifies the RJVM to use as the naming server. This can be used as an alternative to Context.PROVIDER_URL. Instead of a URL, this property must specify an RJVM representing the desired server.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

REPLICATE_BINDINGS

static final String REPLICATE_BINDINGS

Cluster-specific: Specifies whether tree modifications are replicated and is only applicable when connecting to WebLogic Servers that are running in a cluster. By default, any modification to the naming tree is replicated across the cluster, which ensures that any server can act as a naming server for the entire cluster. Setting this property to false changes this behavior and should be done with extreme caution: a false setting means that modifications to the tree caused by bind, unbind, createSubcontext, and destroySubcontext will not be replicated.

Understand the implications of this property before changing its default (true).

See Also:

Constant Field Values

PIN_TO_PRIMARY_SERVER

static final String PIN_TO_PRIMARY_SERVER

Cluster-specific: If true, this property forces the context stub to connect to the primary naming server only (i.e., the server currently running at host specified by Context.PROVIDER_URL). This disables fail-over for the context. By default this property is false.

This setting should be used when a connection to a specific server is required. Note that this setting will only have the desired effect if Context.PROVIDER_URL specifes a host name that maps only to a single server address. It will not work, for example, if the host name maps to multiple server addresses in DNS.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SSL_ROOT_CA_FINGERPRINTS

static final String SSL_ROOT_CA_FINGERPRINTS

Specifies which certificate authorities to trust. The value for this property should be a set of fingerprints (MD5) of the authorities' certificates encoded either as an array of byte arrays, or a comma-separated string of hex values. If specified, the SSL connection can only be established to a server that presents a certificate chain in which the fingerprint of the root matches one of the fingerprints specified by the value of this property.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SSL_SERVER_NAME

static final String SSL_SERVER_NAME

Specifies an expected name of an SSL server as a String. It must match the common name field in the certificate presented by the server. This is typically also the WebLogic Server's DNS name, e.g., www.weblogic.com.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SSL_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE

static final String SSL_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE

Specifies an RSA private key and a chain of certificates for client authentication. In a server, it can be set to the special string SERVER to refer to the server's private key and certificate chain. In general, it can be set to an array of InputStreams, the first element of which is a DER-encoded RSA private key, followed by DER-encoded X.509 certificates. All but the first certificate must be an issuer certificate of the preceding certificate.

If your key and certificates are encoded using PEM, you can obtain the DER encoding using PEMInputStream.

PEMInputStream, Constant Field Values

SSL_CLIENT_KEY_PASSWORD

static final String SSL_CLIENT_KEY_PASSWORD

Specifies the pasword for an encrypted PKCS5/PKCS8 RSA private key. Using an encrypted private key is optional.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ENABLE_SERVER_AFFINITY

static final String ENABLE_SERVER_AFFINITY

Cluster-specific: Specifies if multiple context creation's from the same VM should reuse existing connections or round-robin across all servers in the cluster. By default, context creation's would round-robin across all servers in a cluster. This property takes affect only when a cluster url is specified. If a specific server url is used, context creation would always connect to that server.

Understand the implications of this property before changing its default (false).

See Also:

Constant Field Values

RELAX_VERSION_LOOKUP

static final String RELAX_VERSION_LOOKUP

Specifies the lookup behavior when bindings from the current application version cannot be found. If the property is set to true, the currently active version will be returned, if any. If the property is set to false, a NameNotFoundException will be returned. The default value of the property is false. Users should exercise discretion and ensure that components of different application versions are compatible when setting the property to true.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ALLOW_EXTERNAL_APP_LOOKUP

static final String ALLOW_EXTERNAL_APP_LOOKUP

Specifies whether external clients or other applications are allowed to lookup bindings from an application version. The default value of the property is false. Users should exercise discretion when setting the property to true, as this may potentially cause in-flight work not being tracked properly and application versions to be retired prematurely.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ALLOW_GLOBAL_RESOURCE_LOOKUP

static final String ALLOW_GLOBAL_RESOURCE_LOOKUP

Specifies whether versioned clients or applications are allowed to lookup bindings of global resources. The default value of the property is false. Users should exercise discretion when setting the property to true, and ensure that simultaneous access of the global resources are either tolerated or handled properly by the application.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

REQUEST_TIMEOUT

static final String REQUEST_TIMEOUT

Forces lookup requests to timeout if the request doesn't get a response from the server within the timeout interval. The value is specified in milliseconds as a long. A value of 0 implies that requests never timeout. This property applies to the bootstrap request as well.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ENABLE_DEFAULT_USER

static final String ENABLE_DEFAULT_USER

On the Client side no default user would not be set. To enable the previous behavior this property needs to be set either at the command line or through the InitialContext interface

Constant Field Values
