Introduction to Oracle Fusion Middleware Audit Framework 11-3 ■ Java EE applications - The objective is to provide a framework for Java EE applications, starting with Oracles own components. Java EE applications will be able to create application-specific audit events. In 11g Release 1 11.1.1, the audit framework is only available for Oracles own applications. ■ System Components - For system components in the middleware that are managed by Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server, the audit framework also provides an end-to-end structure similar to that for Java components.
