Multi-node Configuration
The Oracle Web Application Server is made up of several processes — most of
which are defined as services on Windows NT. You can run these processes on
different machines on the network. You can do this because the architecture of
the Web Application Server is based on CORBA (common object request broker
architecture), which is a standard for distributed objects. Two advantages of
distributing the processes on different machines are performance and
scalability.
Processes
The Web Application Server consists of the following processes and services:
