Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One provides a complete Web infrastructure tailored to the needs of small to medium-sized enterprises and departmental users within large organizations.

Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One includes:

• A Web server with PHP and PERL scripting facilities to build Web sites
• A J2EE-compliant application server and development tools to build Web sites and Internet applications in Java/J2EE
• An easy-to-use Enterprise Portal to quickly, easily, and securely share information with you colleagues

A key component of Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One is Oracle Instant Portal, which provides pre-generarated and pre-configured pages for secure publishing and content sharing. Point and click operations let you manage page content, style, and administration, all guided by an easy to use, easy to learn interface.

The Oracle Standard Edition One products provide the same mission-critical functionality as Oracle Standard Edition products, but are designed to allow small businesses and departments to roll out solutions quickly with pre-built functionality that reduces development time and simplifies maintenance and operations.

The Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One documentation set has two components: a documentation library and a set of platform-specific documentation. These components work together to:

• Help you develop, deploy, and interoperate Web applications
• Empower you to deploy instant portal solutions
• Guide you with best practices on how to administer the platform

The documentation library CD-ROM is available in the Oracle Application Server CD pack. The platform-specific documentation, which includes the installation guide and the release notes, is located on the Oracle Application Server Disk 1 CD-ROM in the Oracle Application Server CD pack. You can also find the documentation, along with updated release notes, at Oracle Technology Network.
