The new Oracle Application Server offers a wide range of functionality, including
Java runtime and development tools, portal development tools, business intelligence,
single sign-on identify management, and much more. It's so powerful and complex,
in fact, that many people who use the product (or are considering using it) are
familiar with only a portion of the entire range of its capabilities. The choices
can be overwhelming. Few people grasp how the larger issues--such as the interplay
between components or the various architectural choices in the product--play out
in the Oracle Application Server.
This new guide provides the perfect introduction to the Oracle Application
Server for users of any level. Regardless of which of the server's capabilities
you use, you'll benefit from this tightly focused, all-in-one technical overview.
It's written for anyone who is concerned with using and managing web servers,
doing Java development and deployment, using Oracle's own tools--like Forms
and Reports, using or developing for Oracle Portal, or those who use and administer
business intelligence, mobile or integration software.
Divided into three concise sections, the book covers server basics, core components,
and server functionality. The book leads with the history of Oracle Application
Server, its architecture, management, standards, and third-party support for
languages and tools such as Java, Perl, and HTTP. The next section covers Oracle's
web server, containers for Java web caching, and the server's security features.
And finally, the book discusses HTML development, Java development, and Oracle
development. Although the book refers mainly to Oracle Application Server 10g,
the authors also describe features in earlier product releases where necessary,
particularly Oracle9i Application Server.
More comprehensible than a large reference and more detailed than a primer,
the book provides a foundation for understanding and using Oracle Application
Server effectively and efficiently. Readers concentrate on the most important
issues and components of the server, focusing primarily on principles rather
than syntax. Designed to be the ideal first OracleAS book, Oracle Application
Server 10g Essentials offers Oracle application developers and administrators
everything they need to know about this powerful server.

Very general.
This book covers general aspects of Oracle Application Server 10g. It is like reading an Oracle documentation, it does not give any interesting tips and tricks that I would like to see when I pay for a book, rather than seeing the same content when I read an online Oracle documentation. The only good aspect of this book might be the fact that they give you an organized but general overview of Oracle Application Server 10g, it is helpful and practical but does not go deep enough to cover some aspects that you will not see on an online Oracle documentation.
