OC4J
Oracle Corporation refers to its implementation of the
Java EE specification as ''Oracle Containers for J2EE'' and abbreviates the concept as ''OC4J''. OC4J, originally based on the IronFlare
Orion Application Server, has developed solely under Oracle's control since Oracle Corporation acquired the
source code.
OC4J includes the following servers:
*
Web Container
*
Enterprise JavaBean Container
*
JMS Server
Implementation
Oracle Application Server can utilize an "Oracle AS Infrastructure Database" — an
Oracle database instance supporting the Oracle AS Metadata Repository and/or
Oracle Identity Management.
OPMN - the Oracle Process Management and Notification server - monitors components of the Oracle Application Server.
Operation
The command starts, stops and monitors Oracle AS components.
