Pete, Just curious - why would you want to use the thick client? Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -----Original Message----- From: Peter Barnett [mailto:regdba@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 9:22 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Oracle9i AS vs. IBM Websphere Our experience with Web Sphere is that it does not play well with the Java thick client. The thin client works fine but it does not allow you to access the OCI layer. This really only matters if you are load balancing or doing replication. No idea what the impact would be to a RAC environment. --- Lucas.Lukasiak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > We are traditionally a MS shop using IIS/ASP/ADO > platform.
