8 Understanding the OracleAS TopLink Sessions Editor

Use the Oracle Application Server TopLink Sessions Editor to easily manage your sessions.xml file information. You can work with this file outside of the OracleAS TopLink Mapping Workbench, if necessary.

Use the sessions.xml file to configure one or more sessions for the OracleAS TopLink project, and associate the sessions with the project. This approach allows you to configure the following elements for each project:

• Database (JDBC) login information different from that used during development (for example, external data sources for the host application server's connection pools).

• JTA/JTS transaction usage

• Cache synchronization

• Session Broker (multiple databases appearing as a single OracleAS TopLink session)

Refer to the Oracle Application Server TopLink Application Developer's Guide for more information.
