try browsing the technet on the oracle website. I'm sure they have
al those questions answered right there. When we evaluated appservers
last year, we didn't even move Oracle appserver to the second rounds
because of their lack of Entity beans. Now we use Gemstone/J and even
though they support Entity beans, we're not using them! How ironic.
With Gemstone you don't need them. However in an Appserver that does
not have a persistent cache architecture, not using entity beans is
possible, but makes your life much harder. The whole idea of entity
beans is to encapsulate the access to the database in a layer of its
own with perhaps some simple domain-related business logic. Than have
the bulk of the business logic in session beans using those entity beans
to acces the database. This results in much cleaner code and the benefits
of code reuse, distributed transactions across multiple datasources, etc.
Why can you choose only between those two by the way?

Subject: Oracle Application server
Dear All,
I have to select between the Weblogic Server and the Oracle Application
server. The project will use EJB's extensively.
1 How is Oracle Application server better than Weblogic server. I know that
Oracle Application server does not support Entity Beans. But that can be
taken care of by making the session beans persistent, i.e, by writing JDBC
in the session beans. Does this involve much complexity.
2 Also, does Oracle Application server provide some type of security realm,
so that users and acls can be defined. Or is there some other equally clean
way of handling security.
3 I also read somewhere that Oracle Server can only connect to Oracle8i db.
Is this true? Does this mean that my database has to be Oracle8i only.
4 Does Oracle Application server support SSL?? Which version? In case of
multiple severs, can the communication between beans residing on different
servers be made secure?
Any kind of information will be most helpful.
Thanx and regards,
Shelly
