Oracle Application Server is the "Product Formerly Known As Oracle Web Server 2.x" It changed to Web Application Server in the 3.x product releases, and subsequently to Oracle Application Server in the 4.x releases.

There's more to it than a renaming difference, however. There are a number of simple webservers on the market today that simply serve up static html documents over the HTTP protocol to customers. Oracle Application Server does this as well, but provides quite a bit more functionality. For instance...

• Application based deployment platform
• HTTP listener independent (you can use IIS, Netscape's webservers, Apache, etc)
• CORBA 2.0 Compliant ORB, IIOP support
• Java support
  • Enterprise Java Beans
  • Server-side JIT compiler
  • Auto-generated wrapper classes for PL/SQL support
  • JServlet support
  • Java - CORBA integration
• PL/SQL integration into the database
• LiveHTML (or Server Side Includes)
• PERL version 5 interpreter, w/ DBI/DBD extensions
• Broad range of security options
  • Directory and database based authentication
  • SSL 3.0
  • X.509 certificates
• Built in logging and analysis tools etc

OAS is more that a simple listener, it provides a foundation for a full "Internet Platform". Go to the Oracle home page (www.oracle.com) or the Oracle Technology Network (technet.oracle.com) for more information.

Hope this helps...
