Since I wrote these instructions oracle have announced iAS and apache based web server.
OK short of going on a rant here Ill let it go at this. Oracle web development strategy
has been a mess from day one (iAS is an admission that OAS/WAS did not work) Its
still a mess - I prefer to focus on delivering high quality web based applications
than attempting to figure out Oracles strategy du jour. Prism/apache/cocoon are all
open source projects, while at first it may be a little unnerving to use these tools`- they
have one saving grace - they work and if you get involved you can help shape their
future directions and development. The other option, get dragged around by the nose
by Oracle.
You have a choice.
Michael Hagan for the feedback through
all versions of the instructions (his idea to write it up)
Gary Wong being the inspiration for
rewriting the instructions, and for pointing out numerous holes
Marcelo F.Ochoa for helping and explaining
stuff when I cant figure it out
If you find anything wrong let me know
