TopLinkWebClient

The Web Client leverages Java objects, database and TopLink metadata to automatically create a browser based user interface to display and allow the manipulation of persistent objects obtained through server sessions. In addition, the Web Client offers utilities to profile the performance of your server session, as well as interactively execute SQL on the database connected to your server session.

The TopLink Web Client replaced the SessionConsole in recent versions of TopLink (> TopLink903). It offers a lot of the same functionality, ie. it allows one to inspect and manipulate the cache, gather statistics, etc. Invaluable for debugging live applications.

(Note: the original Swing-based SessionConsole is still available, but its usage seems to be deprecated. It is somewhat buggy anyway.)

The TopLink Web Client is a true Web application, and is intended to be run in a J2EE environment. As such it is unfortunately subject to restrictions typical of Web applications, stemming from a separate classloader hierarchy.

Section A of the TopLinkDocumentation actually documents pretty extensively the steps needed to configure the Web Client.
