Oracle's Java Strategy

Java is a key component to Oracle’s strategy of network computer models which will ultimately result in a low cost of ownership. An Oracle has implemented Java into Oracle8I with two major approaches:

• It provide an enterprise-class Java sever platform with fast access and manipulation for decision support systems and online transaction processing systems, support for a huge number of concurrent users, high availability and fast failover, integration with system management tools such as Oracle Enterprise Manager and integration of a JVM (Java Virtual Machine).

• Providing  a  group  of  Java  tools  which  can  be  used  to  quickly  develop  efficient  Java applications: JDBC drivers which provide database connectivity from Java; an SQLJ translator that permits the use of embedded SQL  in Java; Jdev3elope, that permits the development of Java programs and integrates JDBC and the SQLJ translator into a complete development environment: CORBA connectivity;

Oracle Application Server which have the ability to load and create Java stored procedures and triggers and component-oriented development, supported with  the use of  EJB and JavaBeans.
