| I haven't read the whitepaper, but
| is BC4J an Oracle-only solution?
Some of our automatic deployment
wizards cater to Oracle Server platforms
but the framework is 100% pure java and
XML-based and works with JDBC. Initially
we're focusing all of our testing resources
on Oracle Server Platforms, but nothing
inherent in the architecture prevents
a non-Oracle shop from giving it a go.
When we're working with the Oracle JDBC
driver we can be smarter and take advantage
of Oracle-driver specific features. When
working with a "vanilla" JDBC driver, we
stick to generic constructs.
When deployed directly *into* Oracle8i's
JavaVM, we use their JDBC driver which
gives a boost to data access performance
by eliminating network traffic between
your logical middle tier and your database.
Teams here are leveraging BC4J to build
virtually every conceivable deployment
configuration accessing their business
components:
-> From Servlets in process
-> From Servlets via CORBA and EJB
-> From Java Thin Clients via CORBA and EJB
-> Wrappered by their own hand-written
EJB Session beans
-> In Batch Programs
-> Wrappered by Java Stored Procedures
to expose business components to
PL/SQL-savvy applications.
So the stuff is pretty flexible.
