Oracle9i consists of the Oracle9i > Database, the Oracle9i Application Server, and the Oracle9i Developer > Suite. Oracle9i offers unified support for Java, XML, HTML, SQL, and > PL/SQL. It supports all of the latest J2EE APIs - such as Servlets 2.2, > JSP 1.1, JMS 1.0.2 and EJB 1.1 - and all the latest XML standards - such > as XML Schema, DOM and SAX 2.0, and SOAP 1.1. > > Oracle9i Developer Suite > > In keeping with the overall Oracle9i strategy, Oracle9i Developer Suite > provides the most complete and integrated development environment for > building Internet web applications and services. Oracle9i Developer Suite > includes the following components: > > Application Development > - Oracle JDeveloper > - Oracle Forms Developer > - Oracle Designer > Business Intelligence > - Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition > - Oracle Reports Developer > Enterprise Portals > - Oracle Portal > Software Configuration Management > - Oracle Repository > > Application Development > > From an application development perspective, the strategic direction is to > provide a single Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that offers > complete support for: > > Any language > - Java, XML, HTML, SQL, PL/SQL > Any operating system > - Windows, Unix, Linux > Any development style > - UML modeling, RAD/4GL, component-based, 3GL > Any of the latest Internet standards > - J2EE, XML, SOAP > Any phase of the development lifecycle > - Design, implementation, compilation, debugging, deployment, performance > and memory tuning, monitoring, application integration, and configuration > management > > In addition, for productivity and performance, Oracle9i Developer Suite > offers a common component-based framework for defining reusable > transactional business logic. The framework deploys to the standard J2EE > platform. > > Starting with Oracle9i Developer Suite, Oracle JDeveloper serves as the > basis for the common IDE, and Business Components for Java (BC4J) provides > the common transactional business logic framework. Highlights of new > application development capabilities in Oracle9i Developer Suite include: > > - 100% Java IDE available on Windows, Unix, and Linux > - Integrated UML modeling with automated synchronization between diagrams > and code > - Schema driven XML editing > - SQL and PL/SQL development support > - Integrated Java performance and memory profiling > > To maximize the level of integration, all new application development > offerings will be part of the common IDE and will fully leverage BC4J. As > a result of this strategic direction, Oracle has decided not to release > Project Cherokee as a standalone product in either Oracle9i Developer > Suite or Oracle9i Application Server. Instead, the Cherokee technology, > ideas, expertise, and RAD development style will be folded into the common > IDE and tightly integrated with BC4J. > > Oracle Forms is the leading 4GL tool, used by hundreds of thousands of > developers all around the world. Oracle Forms provides the underlying > infrastructure for Oracle's ERP application suite - Oracle E-Business > Suite, and the recent availability of Release 11i is evidence of the > incredible power and robustness of Oracle Forms. Oracle will continue to > enhance Oracle Forms and support its large installed base. > > Oracle Designer provides an intuitive environment to model applications > and databases. Oracle Designer automatically generates Oracle Forms-based > applications from these models enhancing developer productivity. > Leveraging Oracle Repository, Oracle Designer enables collaborative > development enhancing team productivity. Oracle will continue to enhance > Oracle Designer and support its large installed base. > > The Oracle9i integrated approach stands in stark contrast to the > alternatives available elsewhere: complex and expensive multi-vendor kit > approaches that require multiple standalone tools and servers for > different languages, operating systems, development styles, and phases of > the software development lifecycle. With Oracle9i, Oracle offers a more > complete, integrated, and standards-based software infrastructure than any > other vendor. > > William Dwight > Vice President > Application Development Tools > Oracle Corporation > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ------- End of forwarded message ------- -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Eric D.
