Update: I now downloaded & installed 10.1.2 and this seems to work fine. The oc4j java process doesn't terminate itself when I log off. However, 10.1.2 doesn't seem to have an application deployment console, so I had to deploy the fop.war application manually. But this wasn't much of an issue :-)

So thanks for the tip, Frank :-)
