3.0 out of 5 stars Buy Oracle Web Application Server Handbook instead, May 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Oracle Web Application Server 3 (Paperback)

Does a reasonable job of covering Oracle Web Application Server 3.0, but the Oracle Press book is better.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok introductory book but look elsewhere for in depth info., July 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Oracle Web Application Server 3 (Paperback)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but certainly not "The Most Complete Reference", April 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Edition Using Oracle Web Application Server 3 (Paperback)

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.
