What is oc4j standalone....?

Hello All,

Hope you are playing well with oracle fusion middleware..
small confusion i would like to clear..
difference between oc4j and oracle application server...

OC4J standalone?

OC4J standalone is a distribution of Oracle Application Server product that contains just the J2EE and Web Services components. OC4J standalone is much smaller than the full Oracle Application Server product and is downloaded as a single zip file. It is executed as a single Java process.

OC4J standalone is J2EE 1.3 compatible and is able to be used in both development and small scale production environments. OC4J standalone provides its own inbuilt HTTP/S listener to allow clients to execute Web applications that it has deployed. Application deployment and server configuration of OC4J standalone is performed by the manual editing of a simple set of XML files.

For large scale enterprise deployments, the Oracle Application Server product is likely to be more suitable with its comprehensive feature set including Oracle HTTP Server, process monitoring and management capabilities, and its configuration and management console.



I Hope concept is now somewhat clear :)
