> Oracle's App Server works on ANY web server Your message inspired me to go to the Oracle web page and look over their Oracle Application Server specs. I see verbiage like "One Unifying API" for webservers like Apache, Netscape and Microsoft. But this seems misleading... is it via the native interfaces to those systems? (ISAPI, NSAPI?) If you look at all the search pages processed via www.oracle.com they all pull up CGI directories in the URL address - which would not happen if Oracle were using native interfaces (on their own site which I imagine uses their own technology). Any company can say they support ALL webservers via CGI if they so choose - that's the idea behind Common Gateway Interface. Yet it is horribly inefficent. Do you know what they use under the covers. I have seen Oracle build better marketing documents than they have technology. I remember seeing Developer 2000 load on a state of the art PC when it was first released - it took over 20 seconds to load - and the marketing docs touted performance. Interesting about the Oracle apps that run in Java. To me, using big Java applets to mirror what would take place on an OS does not spell "thin client". I think using XML and DHTML will be more effective than applets as time moves on. But I am not going to get into a Java debate! We'll save that for the Netscape / Sun forums... Thanks for the info. (ps... LONG on SAP!) -M
