It's not what we define OC4J as. It may look like an app server, but it's also the EJB container service for 9iAS, as in the original text from Oracle:

That makes it the container, like it or not.

BC4J is just a library. Or at best a framework containing a number of classes that can be used to build J2EE-based application. Ideally and if totally compliant to J2EE, it should be portable to any J2EE container in any app server. I've got my doubts it's at that stage. May get there, though.
