Your subject, above, attracted me because it reads something like "Why does a mouse when it spins." It demonstrates to me that you don't know what J2EE is, don't know what RAC is, or both.

Very simply ... RAC won't build a front end. RAC won't execute a statement.
RAC won't provide a single line of application logic or code.

J2EE will not give you transparent failover. J2EE will not give you high avialability. J2EE will not give you back-end load balancing.

Just three of each but the lists are substantial. I would suggest you find a consultant that truly understands the basic concepts underlying the acronyms you are tossing around.
