How to Develop a WLS-IIOP Client
The procedure for developing a WLS-IIOP Client is the same as the procedure described in Developing a J2SE Client with the following additions:
- Include the full wlfullclient.jar (located in WL_HOME/server/lib) in the client's CLASSPATH.
- Use weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory when defining your JNDI context factory. Use this class when setting the value for the "Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY" property that you supply as a parameter to new InitialContext().
- You do not need to use the
-D weblogic.system.iiop.enableClient=true command line option to enable client access when starting the client. By default, if you use wlfullclient.jar, enableClient is set to true.
