Product Description: SE Using Oracle WebSystem covers how to build Internet-accessible databases and how to convert current databases into Internet-accessible ones. The text explains how to create applications that can access all types of corporate databases and internal Web sites, not just Oracle systems. Sample code and add-on development tools are contained on the CD.
Ok introductory book but look elsewhere for in depth info. As an introductory book its fine but as a `Most Complete' you want it to expand beyond basic examples into e.g. interaction between the cartridge types, practical implementation advice etc.
I'd have used the money back guarantee if there was one as I expected a bit more from it.
Buy Oracle Web Application Server Handbook instead Does a reasonable job of covering Oracle Web Application Server 3.0, but the Oracle Press book is better.
Good, but certainly not "The Most Complete Reference" This book does a good job of providing an overview of the architecture surrounding OAS 3.0, but certainly does not hold to its claim as "The Most Complete Reference." Its biggest shortfall is its lack of detail concerning Inter-Cartridge Exchange (ICX). It mentions this topic at least a few times, and explains the premise behind ICX, but doesn't provide any examples of how ICX is accomplished from a PL/SQL cartridge to a C cartridge, for example. A good book for people who are just learning about OAS and want an introduction and then some.
Not bad book for beginning The text provides more of a basic over view of Ows 3.0 and it's capabilites. It dosen't fully in my opinion get to the meat of the server. it's strength's and weakness.
A great resource! Goes into a great overall review where the documentation falls short. It provided some insightful examples that helped us address a problem we had for weeks. Only shortfall, even though it has a lengthy example on dynamic querying, it needs more documentation on the true capabilities of the pl/sql OWA_UTIL functions/procedures.
