The following is from my book. I hope it answers you question.

->
The EBS modules (formsapp.ear) and the actual forms executable (frmweb) runs on this 10.1.2
application tier Home, but all the major services for frmweb are served by the Oracle Fusion Middleware.
So, when an Oracle report program is executed or a client request is made for opening an Oracle form-based EBS screen, the binaries in this Oracle Home are triggered.

Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMW ) 11.1.1.9.0 is the application server for applications that provide the
core functionalities in EBS Java code. Using the WebLogic Server that resides in it, FMW hosts the Oacore
server to provide the pages developed with Oracle Application Framework (OAF), which is a framework
supplied by Oracle to be used for development within the Oracle E-Business Suite OAFM to provide such as
web services and a secure enterprise search agent. In addition, it hosts the forms server for services, all the
forms functionality, and forms-c4ws to expose forms-based functionalities as web services.
 A JSP compiler and JSP engine are also included in FMW.
 The WebLogic JSP compiler , weblogic appc, is used for the precompilation of JSP pages in EBS. The SP
engine is used for processing the JSP pages and converting them to the servlets.
 FMW also includes control mechanisms/utilities for its core WebLogic services, as well as all the JRF
files needed by EBS and Oracle HTTP Server to be used as a web entry point for EBS.
 So, Oracle HTTP Server, WebLogic Server, 10.1.2 Home services, and the binaries stored in application
directories such as COMMON_TOP and APPL_TOP are used together for the application tier processing.
Figure  1-5 shows the FMW components such as Oracle HTTP Server and WebLogic Server, as well as the
other technologies such as 10.1.2 Oracle Home and three important top-level EBS directories such as
APPL_TOP, COMMON_TOP, and INST_TOP working together.
