Configuring Weblogic's jDriver for Oracle to use in distributed transactions

Question

          Here is some errata to the instructions at "Configuring XA JDBC drivers" section of the online beta documentation:
          http://www.weblogic.com/docs60/adminguide/managetx.html#1041268
          The sample JDBC connection pool using Weblogic jDriver for Oracle should be:
          <JDBCConnectionPool
          Name="fundsXferAppPool"
          Targets="myserver"
          URL="jdbc:weblogic:oracle:localdb"
          DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.oci.xa.XADataSource"
          InitialCapacity="0"
          MaxCapacity="5"
          CapacityIncrement="1"
          Properties="user=scott;password=tiger;server=localdb;rmid=0"
          />
          <JDBCTxDataSource
          Name="fundsXferDataSource"
          Targets="myserver,server1"
          JNDIName="myapp.fundsXfer"
          PoolName="fundsXferAppPool"
          />
          Here is an example of an additional XA connection pool for a second database instance:
          <JDBCConnectionPool
          Name="fundsXferAppPool2"
          Targets="myserver"
          URL="jdbc:weblogic:oracle:localdb2"
          DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.oci.xa.XADataSource"
          InitialCapacity="0"
          MaxCapacity="5"
          CapacityIncrement="1"
          Properties="user=scott;password=tiger;server=localdb2;rmid=1"
          />
          <JDBCTxDataSource
          Name="fundsXferDataSource2"
          Targets="myserver,server1"
          JNDIName="myapp.fundsXfer2"
          PoolName="fundsXferAppPool2"
          />
          Please note the different "rmid" values for the 2 different database instances. Note also that the above sample only applies for Beta 1. Instructions may change in the future for Beta 2.
          Also, all the names of the data source properties shown in "Table 8-2 Data Source Properties for WebLogic jDriver for Oracle" should start with lower case.
          The Beta 1 online documentation will soon be updated to reflect the above. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
