1.2 Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector Overview
The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector provides interoperability between WebLogic Server applications and Tuxedo services. The connector allows WebLogic Server
clients to invoke Tuxedo services and Tuxedo clients to invoke WebLogic Server Enterprise Java Beans EJBs in response to a service request.
1.3 Key Functionality and Administrative Features
The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector enables you to develop and support applications interoperating WebLogic Server and Tuxedo by using a Java
Application-to-Transaction Monitor Interface JATMI similar to the Tuxedo ATMI. The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector tBridge functionality provides Tuxedo Q and
JMS advanced messaging services.
The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector provides the following bi-directional interoperability:
■
Ability to call WebLogic Server applications from Tuxedo applications and vice versa.
■
Ability to integrate WebLogic Server applications into existing Tuxedo environments.
■
Transaction support.
■
Ability to provide interoperability between CORBA Java and CORBA C++ server applications.
■
Ability to provide interoperability between Remote Method Invocation RMI over Internet Inter-ORB Protocol IIOP applications and Tuxedo CORBA remote
objects.
■
Ability to use WebLogic Integration to manage workflow across Tuxedo ATMI services.
Introduction to Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector 1-3
■
Ability to define multiple connections between WebLogic Server and Tuxedo. The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector includes the following key administration
features:
■
Simple implementation. The Oracle WebLogic Tuxedo Connector does not require modification of existing Tuxedo application code.
– Existing Tuxedo clients call WebLogic Server EJBs through the Oracle
WebLogic Tuxedo Connector.
– New or modified WebLogic Server clients call Tuxedo services through Oracle
WebLogic Tuxedo Connector.
■
Bi-directional security propagation, including domain and ACL security.
■
Domain-level failover and fallback.
■
Advanced messaging services provided by Tuxedo Q and JMS.
■
Interoperability with mainframes and other legacy applications using eLink.
