Chapter 6. Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE

The Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE product provides the Java environment for the Oracle Application Server. OC4J is a 100% pure Java J2EE Server. As such, it can use—and applications can be developed with—any standard Java Development Kit (JDK). This standardization allows you the option of using the JVM that best leverages your hardware platform. OC4J has J2EE-certified Servlet and EJB containers, and a JSP translator. OC4J provides all the standard J2EE services such as session, transaction, and persistence management.

Table 6-1 lists the various J2EE APIs supported by the OC4J releases at the time of this writing.
