E-Business Suite Release 12 to Include Oracle Application Server 10g

Sharp-eyed readers of my OAUG Collaborate 06 presentation will have noticed some sneak previews of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12’s technology stack buried in an appendix.
The most significant news:  Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 will use Oracle Application Server 10g for its application tier.  We’re officially in the 21st Century now, so it’s about time.

This long-awaited configuration will use:

• OracleAS 10g 10.1.2.x for Forms and Reports services.  This will replace the elderly 8.0.6 ORACLE_HOME provided by Oracle9i Application Server 1.0.2.2.2 in Release 11i.
  
  
• OracleAS 10g 10.1.3 for Oracle Containers for Java (OC4J).  This will
  replace the aging 8.1.7-based ORACLE_HOME provided by Oracle9i Application Server 1.0.2.2.2 in Release 11i, and herald our switch from JServ to Oracle Containers for Java.

[Cheering is heard from Oracle Applications DBAs worldwide]

Now, a word from Oracle Legal, which I’m obliged to append to all Release 12-related posts:
