Foreign Connection Factory: Configuration
Configuration Options Related Tasks Related Topics
A foreign connection factory is a connection factory that resides on another server instance and is accessible via JNDI. A remote connection factory can be used to refer to another instance of WebLogic Server running in a different cluster or server, or a foreign provider, as long as that provider supports JNDI.
