I do not see that as a simpler solution.

However, there may be a significant misconception. The Oracle Application Server 10g Java Edition is exactly what you describe. Not much extra overhead and not much additional complexity.

Are you sure you are not looking at the clustered capability (which requires Application Server 10g Infrastructure) or the Standard or Enterprise Editions which add a lot of capability at the cost of complexity.
