Oracle HTTP server is web server component and it is based on Apache Foundation projects HTTP server 2.x version build.

Oracle FMW consists of below components.

Architecture

Why do we need to choose OHS?

Well below are the major benefits targeted:

· Separate modules developed by Oracle for SSO (Single Sign On) mod_osso

· Clustered deployment to make high availability

· Oracle FMW components can proxy with respective modules

· OHSupports persistent CGI processes programming with PERL, C, PHP

· OHS can proxy WebLogic with mod_wl_ohs

· OHS can communicate with DB with mod_plsql
