First of all, in which language are your applications written? If they are written in Java, you can use opensource software, but if they are written in PL/SQL you have to buy Oracle Application Server (there is no such thing as a stand-alone version of Oracle's Apache).

If with "Oracle 8" you mean 8.0.x, please notice that the higher Application Server version that is certified for this Database Server version is 1.0.2.2.x. Please check out Metalink for platform availability.
