As you can see from this list, Oracle Application Server exposes all its capabilities to the Java application developer. Oracle Application Server also provides an extensive library of XML and Web Services APIs, which are covered separately in Chapter 10 and Chapter 11. In addition to these Java development tools, Oracle Application Server is tightly integrated with the Oracle database, exposing all its capabilities as well. This integration makes the combination of the Oracle database and Oracle Application Server an ideal environment for enterprise application development and deployment.
