Hi Lim,
 You can use JCA adapter in non-manage environment also...but if you want to
use JCO, attached is a tutorial for your help.

Iris Peter:
  I am really glad for your reply. From your explanations, does that mean
that if I use Java (but running in web server), then I can use JCO, thus no
need an application server? If so, could you please elaborate more on how I
could achieve it? Thanks.
