OCR: FIGURE 1: ORACLE WEBSERVER AT WORK When a user wants to access an application via the World Wide Web, that person visits a Web page that sends a PL/SQL call to a Web server on the Oracle7 RDBMS requesting access. The PL/SQL procedure generates an HTML fill-in form and sends this back to the user (A). The fill-in form asks for a user name and password. When the user fills in the form and clicks on the Submit button, a Web browser collects the information the user typed in and sends it back to the Web server. This results in another PL/SQL procedure, which typically puts the information about the user into Oracle7 tables. The server then sends a simple Welcome page back to the user (B). The Welcome page contains an anchor, or hot link, in which the user's identity is embedded. The next time the user wants access to the application, he or she simply clicks on the hot link and the server sends back a personalized menu page (C). A. Please sign me up. Client Internet WebServer ; OK. Please fill Oracle7 in this form." "Here's my form, Filled in Name: Magnus Password; Internet Greywolf "Got it. You're Oraclez registered!" "Hil It's Magnus I'm back."
