The 10g is Oracle's answer to IBM's WebSphere and JBoss. Wessler certainly wastes no time in delineating how you can use 10g to develope J2EE applications. There are some mundane chapters on installing and configuring it. Important, granted. But the crux of the book is the chapters on making and deploying web applications, EJBs and Web Services within 10g. If you look here, 10g seems to allow for any standard J2EE application to run within it. Crucially, suppose you commit to designing and developing one of these applications, to use 10g to hook to an Oracle database. Then your code can be largely independent of that database and 10g. In principle, you can migrate it to another J2EE compliant container, over a different database, and have only minimal changes. Realistically, your code under 10g will have all sorts of little Oracle dependencies. But this book suggests that with careful design, you can safely use 10g and still preserve a migration option. No Oracle lock in.

More About This Textbook
Overview
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.
