This chapter provides information that you should review before installing Oracle Application Server TopLink (OracleAS TopLink). It contains the following topics:
Your computer must meet the following minimum system requirements:
Operating System
OracleAS TopLink will run on any of the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows 2000 an XP
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 6) or newer
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition for 64-bit Itanium 2 Systems
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for 64-bit Itanium 2 Systems
Any fully Java-compatible UNIX operating system (Solaris)
Hardware Requirements
Although OracleAS TopLink hardware requirements are generally less than the requirements for Java or common database applications, your computer should meet the following minimum guidelines:
Itanium 2 or higher for each installation type
Pentium class processor running at a minimum of 300 MHz
192 MB of Random Access Memory (RAM)
128 MB free on the hard drive
Product Requirements
OracleAS TopLink requires a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) compatible with Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.4.2. OracleAS TopLink is certified with Sun JDK 1.4.2._06.
OracleAS TopLink Examples
The complete installation of OracleAS TopLink includes examples that require a Java 2 SDK to compile and run.
OracleAS TopLink is an infrastructure-based solution that simplifies the integration of Java objects to any Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) compliant database. OracleAS TopLink supports JDBC 2.0 drivers that comply with JDBC 2.0 object-relational extensions. Contact your database and JDBC vendor to determine which object-relational extensions they support.
To enable Oracle Application Server TopLink Mapping Workbench to retrieve table information from the database, the database driver must support the following JDBC methods:
getTables()
getTablesTypes()
getImportedKeys()
getCatalogs()
getPrimaryKeys()
OracleAS TopLink does not require a license file for the Oracle Application Server TopLink or the OracleAS TopLink Mapping Workbench. However, you are not allowed to ship the OracleAS TopLink Mapping Workbench or expose any of the OracleAS TopLink Application Programming Interface (API) as part of an end-user application. Refer to the software license agreement for information about the limitations on including the OracleAS TopLink Foundation Library JAR files, as a part of a packaged end-user application.

OracleAS TopLink uses Another Tool for Language Recognition (Antlr) version 2.7.0 for EJB QL parsing. Antlr is a language tool that provides a framework for constructing recognizers, compilers, and translators from grammatical descriptions containing C++ or Java actions. The Antlr parser and translator generator are fully in the public domain.
The license information about Antlr version 2.7.0 is available at
Document Object Model (DOM) is a specification that defines some programming language-neutral interfaces that can be used to manipulate XML and HTML documents. World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) maintains this specification. It also provides a Java binding for these interfaces. OracleAS TopLink uses this binding to parse and manipulate XML documents.
This program contains third-party code from the W3C. Under the terms of the W3C license, Oracle is required to provide the following notices.
Note: The Oracle program license that accompanies this product determines your right to use the Oracle program, including the W3C software, and the terms contained in the following notices do not change those rights. |

JAWS, a Windows screen reader, may not always correctly read the code examples in this document. The conventions for writing code require that closing braces should appear on an otherwise empty line; however, JAWS may not always read a line of text that consists solely of a bracket or brace.
Due to limitations in JAWS 4.5.1, input field labels in the OracleAS TopLink Mapping Workbench are not read properly. Oracle recommends using JAWS 3.7 and version 103 Access Bridge for maximum accessibility.
