Conventions Used in This Book

We use the following formatting conventions in this book:

Italic

Used for filenames, pathnames, hostnames, domain names, URLs, email addresses, script names, folder names, and new terms where they are defined.

Constant width

Used for code examples, program fragments, and console output. It is also used for Java keywords, names of Java classes, variables, and methods, SQL table and column names, XML elements and tags, and for shell commands and scripting variables.

Constant width italic

Used to indicate text that is replaceable. For example, in BeanName PK, the BeanName may be replaced with a particular bean name.

Constand width bold

Used for emphasis in some code examples.

The term “WebLogic” is often used to refer to WebLogic Server, which is BEA’s J2EE-compliant application server. This must not be confused with the “WebLogic Platform,” which refers to a host of BEA technologies built around the core WebLogic Server product.
