John Garmany On Integrating HTML DB With Application Server 10g

Jon Garmany has written a nice article on integrating HTML DB with Oracle Application Server 10g. According to John,

"Lately I have been playing around with Oracle's HTML DB. This is a rapid development environment for small applicaiton that is entirely web based. Unlike J2EE, the web application actually runs as PL/SQL in the database, although you can load the OHS on a separate server. Basically a fast and surprisingly easy way to create a mod_plsql application.

One cool aspect of HTML DB is that it can be integrated into the application server midtier instances and take advantage of the AS10g Web Cache. Integrating HTML DB into the application server is relitivaly straight forward since the heavy lifting is performed in the database."

The rest of the article goes into the steps you need to take to copy the HTML DB files into the Application Server ORACLE_HOME, what change you need to make to configuration files, and how to update the new configuration in the metadata repository. Good stuff.
