Ensemble Glider for BEA WebLogic Workshop
Ensemble Glider for BEA WebLogic Workshop is a small, efficient J2EE development container that allows users to code and debug EJBs before deploying on WebLogic Server. Glider eliminates the need to repeatedly deploy and redeploy EJBs during development. This means users can incrementally edit, build and debug enterprise applications in a matter of seconds.

JMS C API

This API was designed to enable programs written in C to participate in JMS applications. You can find more information about the JMS C API by reading the documentation pages. They can be found by pointing your browser to http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs90/jms/C_api.html.

Throughout this package there are Readme files that explain what is of interest in that directory. Take a quick minute to read those files in order to get going quickest.

Note: This installation contains the JNI version of this API. That implies that in order to run you must have a fully installed JDK and Weblogic 7.0 or higher. Your CLASSPATH environment variable must be the same as if you were running a Java client. On Windows your PATH variable must contain the bin directory of this package and the JDK directory that has jvm.dll. This is usually located at ${JAVAHOME}/jre/bin/server. On Unix you must set the variable that locates shared libraries to the lib directory of this package and to the location of the jvm shared library.

Here is a list of all of the directories in the package and what they contain:

• bin - On the Windows installation, this directory contains the libjmsc.dll and gencat.exe. libjmsc.dll is the run-time library containing the JMS C API. gencat.exe is a program for those who wish to translate the message catalog.
• classes - This directory contains the extra classes needed to use all of the features of the JMS C API. This directory should be included in your CLASSPATH (in addition to whatever directories and jars are needed by the JMS client).
• doc - Contains the html documentation for the JMS C API. Point your browser to doc/html/index.html to get started.
• examples - Contains examples of JMS C API programs. It also contains a minimal WLS configuration to get your application working.
• include - Contains the header files necessary to build a JMS C API application.
• lib - Contains the libraries needed to link against locale - Contains the message catalog for this product. It also contains the text file used to generate the catalog. Hence customers can translate the catalog using gencat.

This is *not* a supported product of BEA. However, if you have questions about this API you can post them to weblogic.developer.interest.jms.
