14 Oracle Application Server Web Cache

14.1.1 Patch Available for Configuring OracleAS Web Cache Solely as a Software Load Balancer or Reverse Proxy

In previous releases, you could configure OracleAS Web Cache solely as a software load balancer or reverse proxy in place of hardware load balancers.

By applying a patch to this release, you can now configure OracleAS Web Cache as software load balancer or reverse proxy even in front of an application using Edge Side Includes (ESI) or in front of another OracleAS Web Cache forming a cache hierarchy. A typical OracleAS Portal deployment, for example, has a built-in OracleAS Web Cache used for ESI assembly.

To use OracleAS Web Cache in this mode, download an Automated Release Update (ARU) for bug 4569559 from OracleMetalink:
