Practical use of the T3 file service

In the BEA WLS Console you can define "T3 File Service". After I started talking about it, I was unable to get any practical information. Is this something useful?

EDIT:

Deprecated since 6.1 ... full overview here , sadly no real alternative provided.

The T3 WebLogic weblog service allows you to provide high-speed client access to native operating system files on a server.

Some people have used it (with weblogic 6.1) to download file attachments to an application in a cluster (in a C / S context I think). Whether this was actually a good use case is another story.



Anyway, the fileservice is deprecated in Weblogic 7.0, it just isn't removed at the moment (see FileT3 in Weblogic 8.1 documentation or T3 file in Weblogic 10.0 documentation). If you need to write to the server filesystem, you need to find another solution.

The T3 protocol is (is) a proprietary network protocol for serializing Java and RMI objects (before the official official RMI). It was used to communicate within a WebLogic server cluster (and between servers and clients).



This is deprecated now, so if you don't know what you need it for, you probably won't need it.
