Tuxedo Client in EJB method + Test Client

Question

Hi,
Currently, the Tuxedo client-side logic is wrapped and exposed as a remote EJB method.
Have the following deployment questions:
(a) How can I set up my WebLogic container to point to a remote Tuxedo domain (e.g. domain name/IP/port). Are there any steps to refer to?
(b) Is it possible to write a Tuxedo client so that the InitialContext object contains the domain name/IP/port etc so that it will bypass the container and test the remote Tuxedo APIs directly? What are the settings I should put in the Properties object?
Any advice?
Thanks.

Answer 1

To clear your first two questions. The password needs to be encrypted before it can be stored in a plaintext file such as config.xml, so the key is used for this purpose. The assumption is your Tuxedo /Domain is configured with SECURITY=DM_PW, and your WTC is configured with SECURITY="DM_PW" for your local access point. Am I correct? If not correct then you either have to correct your configuration or not needed to configure DM_PW.
You need clear password pair from your Tuxedo Application Domain. You use "weblogic.wtc.gwt.genpasswd" to generate encrypted passwords information and use those information to cut/paste to the WLS console. The generated information such as "Local Password" and "Local Password IV" are needed. The "Key" should be the same for all the password, and should be entered as part of your java option "weblogic.wtc.PasswordKey".
For instance,
Your Tuxedo configured a GWTDOMAIN gateway with id TDOM, and a remote access point id WDOM. And in your WTC you configured a local access point with id WDOM, and a remote access point with TDOM.
Your Tuxedo TDOMAIN you configured a password pair for TDomain session (TDOM, WDOM), the password pair looks like (TdomPassword, WdomPassword).
You use "helloworld" for your passowrd key. Then you do the following
java weblogic.wtc.gwt.genpasswd helloworld WdomPassword localLocal Password : cu/008NA4gWgmmJa193PgReSLmQ6Kk08in2fnN9mE0U=
Local Password IV: bat/6QcWm54=
java weblogic.wtc.gwt.genpasswd helloworld TdomPassword remoteRemote Password : T6aC069iqDjZE+O/p5vhalRdBuonClnGJH+WQ/L1MNw=
Remote Password IV: aMtSUUbEDjg=
On you console you have to enter
cu/008NA4gWgmmJa193PgReSLmQ6Kk08in2fnN9mE0U=
for your local password
bat/6QcWm54=
for your local password IV
do the same for your remote password information
and in your WLS command line java options you do
java -Dweblogic.wtc.PasswordKey=helloworld weblogic.Server
