The BEA WebLogic Server uses the Java platform for portability to a large number of operating
platforms supporting the Java platform. On properly configured NonStop servers, the WebLogic Server
runs unchanged just like on other platforms.
The BEA WebLogic Server for the HP NonStop Server is an application server that provides a
framework for building and managing applications. WebLogic Server simplifies the development,
deployment, integration, and management of applications by surrounding the latest J2EE and Web
services standards with easy-to-use development and administration tools and powerful clustering,
security, integration, and management features. These built-in services of WebLogic Server relieve
developers of the need to create these services on their own.
For more detailed information, see BEA WebLogic Products documentation in the NonStop Technical
Library.
JDBC Drivers for NonStop SQL Database Access
JDBC drivers implement the JDBC API and provide access to NonStop SQL databases. You can use the
JDBC API calls in your Java programs to access SQL tables on NonStop systems. The drivers available
and the access they provide are:
Type 2, which are native API drivers to use in Java programs running with NonStop Server for
Java on a NonStop system. The type 2 drivers are included on the NonStop Server for Java
distribution CD.
JDBC Driver for NonStop SQL/MX (JDBC/MX) for use with SQL/MX
JDBC Driver for NonStop SQL/MP (JDBC/MP) for use with SQL/MP
JDBC Type 4, which use network protocols built into the database engine. Type 4 drivers talk
directly to the database using Java sockets. You can use the HP NonStop JDBC Type 4 Driver in
Java programs running on PCs, HP-UX systems, and other platforms for access to NonStop
SQL/MX. For the latest list of supported platforms, see the current JDBC Type 4 softdoc, which
can be found on-line by accessing Scout for NonStop Servers.
To obtain detailed information on the standard JDBC API, you can download the JDBC API
documentation provided by Sun Microsystems (http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/download.html).
