WebLogic Server Overview
The BEA WebLogic Server (WebLogic Server) is a standards-based J2EE application server that provides a foundation for building applications,
and includes:
Load balancing
Fault tolerance
Web services
Network transparency
Legacy integration
Transaction management
Security
Multi-threading
Persistence
Database connectivity
Resource pooling
Development, testing, and packaging facilities
The WebLogic Server uses the Java platform for portability to a large number of operating platforms supporting the Java platform.
For detailed information about WebLogic Server, see the BEA WebLogic Server documentation, which is located at the following URL:
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/index.html.
This section discusses features of BEA WLS 8.1 that apply to use with the Type 4 driver.
Compatibility
The Type 4 driver is compatible with BEA WLS version 8.1 or later. The Type 4 Driver is not tested with the later versions of BEA WLS 8.1.
Transactions
The Type 4 Driver can be used under the control of BEA WLS 8.1 to manage transactions.
The WLS transaction manager:
sets auto commit to false by calling the setAutoCommit(false) method on a Type 4 driver connection.
completes the driver connection's transaction by executing the rollback() or commit() method associated with the connection.
Global Transactions
To enable the Type 4 driver to participate in a global/XA transaction, you must enable Honor Global Transactions check box when Nonstop
SQL/MX DataSource is created through the WLS 8.1 web console. WLS 8.1 coordinates the transaction so that a commit or rollback is effective
for the entire transaction.
A WLS 8.1 JDBC sample is provided with the Type 4 driver product for demonstrating two phase commit protocol.
