Oracle WebSystem

Hi,

I have a few questions about the acces to an Oracle database through the Web. Maybe some one could answer them?

• what are the different steps to make available to a Web client some informations stored in an Oracle database:
  • write some CGI-scripts with PL/SQL code?
  • write some "HTML" documents with embedded PL/SQL, which will be parsed by the Oracle WebServer
• is the Oracle Web Server mandatory to do that?
• is the Oracle Web Client mandatory to access such documents?
• what has Java to do with all that stuff?

Thanks for your answers (I will post a summary of the answers)
