This section describes the contents and organization of this guide—WebLogic Server Type 4 JDBC Drivers.
This document is a resource for software developers and system administrators who develop and support applications that use the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API. It also contains information that is useful for business analysts and system architects who are evaluating WebLogic Server. The topics in this document are relevant during the evaluation, design, development, pre-production, and production phases of a software project.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with J2EE and EJB concepts. This document emphasizes the value-added features provided by WebLogic Server EJBs and key information about how to use WebLogic Server features and facilities to get an EJB application up and running.
This document contains JDBC-specific driver information.
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 JDBC code samples and tutorials that show JDBC configuration and API use, and provide practical instructions on how to perform key JDBC development tasks.
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.
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.
For a comprehensive listing of the new WebLogic Server features introduced in release 9.2, see " What's New in WebLogic Server 9.2" in Release Notes.
| Note: | WebLogic Server changed substantially in version 9.0, and these changes apply to later releases as well. For a detailed description of features and functionality introduced in WebLogic Server 9.0, see " What's New in WebLogic Server 9.0. For information about new and changed functionality in subsequent releases, see the What's New in WebLogic Server document for each release. |
