1. Developing JDBC Applications for Oracle WebLogic Server
  2. Preface

Preface

This document describes about developing JDBC Applications for Oracle WebLogic Server and evaluating WebLogic Server.

Audience

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 Jakarta EE and JDBC concepts. This document emphasizes the value-added features provided by WebLogic Server JDBC and key information about how to use WebLogic Server features and facilities to get an JDBC application up and running.

Parent topic: Preface

Oracle is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. Oracle respects and values having a diverse workforce that increases thought leadership and innovation. As part of our initiative to build a more inclusive culture that positively impacts our employees, customers, and partners, we are working to remove insensitive terms from our products and documentation. We are also mindful of the necessity to maintain compatibility with our customers' existing technologies and the need to ensure continuity of service as Oracle's offerings and industry standards evolve. Because of these technical constraints, our effort to remove insensitive terms is ongoing and will take time and external cooperation.
