8 Developing a WLS-IIOP Client (Deprecated)
Note:
The WebLogic Server-IIOP client is deprecated as of WebLogic Server 12.1.3 because of its dependency on the wlfullclient.jar
and may be removed in a future release. For more information on other WebLogic client types, see Table 1-1.
This chapter includes the following sections:
WLS-IIOP Client Features
The WLS-IIOP client supports WebLogic Server specific features, including clustering, SSL, and scalability.
Note:
The WebLogic Server-IIOP client does not support the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS). Use JNDI Authentication, see Developing Clients that use JNDI Authentication.
See Clients and Features.
How to Develop a WLS-IIOP Client
Learn how to develop a WLS-IIOP Client using Java SE client.
The procedure for developing a WLS-IIOP Client is the same as the procedure described in Developing a Java SE Client (Deprecated) with the following additions:
-
Include the full
wlfullclient.jar
(located inWL_HOME
/server/lib
) in the client's CLASSPATH. -
Use
weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
when defining your JNDI context factory. Use this class when setting the value for the "Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY
" property that you supply as a parameter to newInitialContext()
. -
You do not need to use the
-D weblogic.system.iiop.enableClient=true
command line option to enable client access when starting the client. By default, if you usewlfullclient.jar
,enableClient
is set to true.
