>From past experiences, the only client I've seen using 9iAS is the one being Oracle wall to wall (and Oracle was a partner in the business, a big bio-tech startup). All the other clients running on Oracle databases were using BEA Weblogic or IBM Websphere.

My understanding is that Apache is just a web page server. The better comparison is between Tomcat and 9iAS. Since most web hits are for just static pages, you may even chose to have Apache front-end your 9iAS. Over Tomcat, 9iAS is J2EE compliant. Also more scalability. And if your company isn't ready for open source, 9iAS offers a big vendor to yell at. Dennis Williams DBA, 80%OCP, 100% DBA Lifetouch, Inc.
