Previous releases of the connector used a WebLogic Server Startup class to start a WebLogic Tuxedo Connector session and a WebLogic Server Shutdown class to end a session. In WebLogic Server 7.0, WebLogic Tuxedo Connector does not use a Startup or a Shutdown class. WebLogic Tuxedo Connector sessions are managed using a WTCServer MBean.

„You start a WebLogic Tuxedo Connector session when you assign a configured WTCServer MBean to a selected server.

„You end a WebLogic Tuxedo Connector session by removing a WTCServer MBean from WebLogic Server or when you shut down WebLogic Server.

For more information on starting and ending a WebLogic Tuxedo Connector session, see Assign a WTCServer to a Server at http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/ConsoleHelp/wtc.html#AssignWTCServer.
