For a detailed overview of the new features that this release provides, see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/technical/tl10g_fov.htm.
The TopLink 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) supports a subset of the EJB 3.0 Draft Specification and does not fully support the final specification at this time. For more information on EJB 3.0 support, see http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/ejb30.html.
For a detailed list of the modifications to the TopLink API that this release provides, see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/doc/api/api_mod_readme.htm.
The following are known issues in Oracle TopLink 10g Release 3 (10.1.3):
When using the online help and the hosted documentation, TopLink Workbench requires an internet connection to OTN (Oracle Technology Network). Your PC must have a network connection (including any required proxy information) and an internet browser for use with the TopLink Workbench. If the TopLink Workbench is unable to connect to OTN, some links in the online help or the Welcome page may not work properly. For example, when using a non-English online help system in Hosted mode, if your Proxy information is incorrect, you may receive a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException error when using the online help system. To correct this problem, select Tools > Preferences, and complete the HTTP Proxy Host and HTTP Proxy Port fields on the Preferences -- General dialog.
For example, when using a non-English online help system in Hosted mode, if your proxy information is incorrect, you may receive a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException error when using the online help system. To correct this problem, go to the TopLink Workbench, select Tools > Preferences and complete the HTTP Proxy Host and HTTP Proxy Port fields on the Preferences -- General dialog.
To configure preferences for an external browser for use with the TopLink Workbench, select Tools > Preferences > Help. Click Browse and select the location of your default Web browser. For more information on Help preferences, go to the Help menu and select Working With TopLink Workbench Preferences.
When using TopLink Workbench on a PC using the Linux GTK look and feel, do not set the TopLink Workbench Look and Feel Preference to GTK+. Doing so may cause unexpected complications. Oracle recommends using the Metal, Oracle, or CD/Motif look and feel instead. Refer to "Working with TopLink Workbench Preferences" in Oracle TopLink Developer's Guide for complete information.
When you generate class and method names that include non-ASCII characters, TopLink will throw an exception. This problem occurs when creating a JAXB 1.0 TopLink project from an XML schema that contains non-ASCII characters. Ensure that your XML schema does not contain any non-ASCII characters.
If a unit of work is synchronized with a Java Transaction API (JTA), an exception will be thrown if it is released. If the current transaction requires that changes not be persisted, the JTA transaction must be rolled back. If you wish to have the transaction rolled back, do so with its API.
On Unix, TopLink Workbench requires "home" directory to store your user preferences. Use one of the following methods to specify a home directory:
Create a new /home/<USERNAME> directory to store your user preferences.
Add the -D option to the JVM_ARGS variable in the workbench.sh file to specify an existing directory to use as your home directory. For example:
JVM_ARGS="-Xmx128m -Duser.home=/someDirectory"
where someDirectory is an existing directory to use as your home directory.
If you do not create or specify a home directory, TopLink Workbench will fail to start.
Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Accessibility standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers. For more information, visit the Oracle Accessibility Program Web site at http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/.
