It should come as no surprise that Oracle, given half a chance, will try to sell you a database license if all you want is a middle tier solution.
If it doesn't wrap in a database, Oracle doesn't want to touch it.
For the middle tier, Oracle chose to implement LDAP in a database. The portal stuff has to go in a database as well.
