Just an FYI - ApEx is 100% PL/SQL and completely stored in the database. All code and metadata. It's table driven and users can create their own screens and reports. It's actually gotten pretty advanced and it's very robust. Oracle runs what it calls the "Oracle PL/SQL Gateway" to allow access. That's Apache in the db. You can read about the architecture here: http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32470/intro_app.htm No middle tier required, no CGI.
