Thanks for a little clarity, Bill; even if it's overloaded with
Marketing-speak. Of course, this is the line of the time; in 6 months, who
knows.
Quick summation and filtering of marketing-speak:
1) Cherokee is dead; quit dreaming. It goes to the same graveyard as
Sedona.
2) Java and XML are it; Forms lives only for Apps (Big O hasn't figured out
how to convert themselves).
The Forms and PL/SQL skillsets will fade to black (albeit slowly in App
shops; Apps will probably fade faster).
[P.S. Forms 7 is slated *not* to support Client-server deployment; be
ready out there!]
3) Given this, you *will* have to 'take control' of the client browser, to
ensure they are up-to-date (but not too up-to-date) to handle your
applications, whether Jar files or XML implementations.
4) Generation of applications from Designer is on the way out; modeling
only. Back to the great dis-association of the functional models from the
actual application code.
5) The repository's future purpose will be as a high-dollar replacement for
PVCS, SourceSafe, etc.
All of this wouldn't bother me as much if I'd heard of *one* major internet
site primarily done with either Forms and/or JDeveloper. And, as far as I
know, the ODTUG site has the most complete Portal implementation to date
outside of Oracle.
I hope somebody will alleviate my ignorance if this is not true, and list
real sites who are currently using this stuff (outside of Oracle itself).
