The latest version of IAS includes *three* different servlet engines: JServ, mod_ose and OC4J.
I just gave a superficial look at the docs (there are tons of paper!), but as far as I understood the difference between JServ and mod_ose is that JServ uses the JVM that comes with Apache, while mod_ose uses the JVM embedded into the Oracle database (8i or 9i). OC4J, on the other hand, is a J2EE-certified environment independent from Apache (it includes its own web server) that can be linked to Apache using mod_proxy.
We made no decision yet, but I think I will suggest to adopt this product for our future projects. Any opinions?

Best regards, Cristian
