1.3 OracleAS Forms Services Architecture

Forms Services use a three-tier architecture to deploy database applications. Figure 1-1 shows the three tiers that make up the Forms Services architecture:

• The client tier contains the Web browser, where the application is displayed.

• The middle tier is the application server, where application logic and server software are stored.

• The database tier is the database server, where enterprise data is stored.
