Oracle Application Server 10g: J2EE Deployment and Administration
focuses on the latest version of Oracle's fully J2EE-certified
application server (previously called Oracle9iAS). Oracle Corporation is
aggressively attacking this market with a new lost-cost version of the
server, as well as a program to move BEA customers onto Oracle free of
charge. Adoption interest is growing rapidly amidst favorable reports
regarding performance and reliability.
Deploying and configuring J2EE applications are some of the trickiest
processes in J2EE development, and they unfortunately receive scant
attention in general J2EE texts. This book is a focused, no-frills guide
to getting J2EE applications up and running on 10g. It covers Oracle's
J2EE container, OC4J (available free of charge for development
purposes), in full detail. It moves on to explain how to best configure
and use the various enterprise-level features that come with the
commercial editions. This is the book for anyone wanting to stay ahead
in the world of Oracles application servers.
