The Oracle Web Agent

The Oracle Web Agent is a program that is invoked by the Oracle Web Listener when a request for a database procedure is received. It handles the details of making a connection to the Oracle7 Server. A Web Agent will connect to a single Oracle7 Server, using a specific database username and password which are specified as part of a Web Agent service. To connect to different servers, or different schemas on the same server, multiple Web Agent services may be configured on a single Oracle WebServer. This allows for great flexibility in the creation of applications that unify data from several different servers, while controlling exactly what information a Web client can access.

For more information on the Oracle Web Agent, please see Chapter 5, "Oracle Web Agent".
