Oracle Plug-in for Microsoft IIS Overview

This chapter provides an overview of Oracle Plug-in for Microsoft IIS and describes access for PL/SQL and Java Web components.

This chapter contains these topics:

- What Is Oracle Plug-in for Microsoft IIS?

- PL/SQL Web Component Access

- Java Web Component Access

## What Is Oracle Plug-in for Microsoft IIS?

Oracle Plug-in for Microsoft IIS enables you to use Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS), the Web server included with Windows NT, to directly access PL/SQL and Java Web components stored in the Oracle database server. This plug-in provides a fast and integrated method of accessing PL/SQL and Java Web components running in the IIS environment.

Oracle Plug-in for Microsoft IIS provides functionality similar to Apache's PL/SQL Gateway (`mod_plsql`) and Apache's `mod_ose` in the IIS environment.

Web components are accessed in one of two ways:

- Passing a preconfigured virtual directory prefix (PL/SQL access)

- Passing a predefined file extension and virtual directory prefixes which are stored in the Java configuration file (Java access)

## PL/SQL Web Component Access

Oracle Plug-in for Microsoft IIS supports accessing PL/SQL Web components stored inside the Oracle database in the IIS environment. PL/SQL Web component access is limited to PL/SQL stored procedures written using Oracle PL/SQL Web Toolkit and PL/SQL server pages.

PL/SQL requests are filtered using a predefined prefix and then are executed using pooled database connections. Users have the ability to configure PL/SQL component access from multiple databases.

## Java Web Component Access

Oracle Plug-in for Microsoft IIS supports accessing Java Web components stored inside the Oracle database in the IIS environment. Java requests are filtered using a Java configuration file. Java Web component access is limited to JavaServer Pages (JSP) and servlets.
