Chapter 8 Creating J2EE Applications for BEA WebLogic

The WebLogic Server EJB Container

WebLogic Server provides deployment tools needed to deploy the EJBs and the runtime support for deployed EJB instances. During runtime the Container provides deployed EJBs with services such as, transaction and security management, network distribution of clients, and scalability. The Container also provides tools for the system administrator to monitor and manage the container and the EJBs running in the Container at runtime. These services are parameterized using the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor file, including elements for enabling stateful session EJB replication, configuring entity EJB locking behavior, and assigning JMS Queue and Topic names for message-driven beans. These elements are unique to WebLogic Server.
