The document discusses the architecture and components used to serve web requests in Oracle Application Server. Apache is used as the web listener and supports modules like mod_plsql and mod_jserv. Mod_plsql allows generating dynamic HTML from PL/SQL code directly in the database. Mod_jserv runs Java servlets and JSPs. The web request flows from the client to the Apache listener, then to authentication modules, before being routed to mod_plsql, mod_jserv or backend databases to generate and return dynamic content to the client.
