I didn't mean to imply that the term didn't exist previously. My point was that back-in-the-day, everyone was talking about application servers in the J2EE space, then SOA came along and we started referring to the space as 'middleware'. The term already existed. I was pointing out that we at Oracle now use the term 'middleware' to encapsulate a large set of technologies that use to be more silo'd (BI, content, portal, EPM, BAM, etc.). Many other vendors don't include some of these technologies in under their 'middleware' umbrella. Thanks for the good feedback. Let me know if you have any other questions.
