    OK, so java in Oracle has been around for a while, but in my jobs,
    there hasn't been a need for us to use java. So now I'm looking into
    java for the apps. In the past, web apps based on Oracle technology
    used PL/SQL and the web toolkit. Now, that still exists, and there's
    even PL/SQL Server Pages that can be used to retrieve information and
    present it to a web browser.

    But, when/why would I use java in any of these apps if I'm staying on
    a Oracle9i database and Oracle 9iAS app server?

    thanks.
    Oh,

    the reasons are numerous. I wrote a SP in Java recently which
    publishes messages to a JMS (Java Messaging Service) Server. So
    integration with Java technology is one answer to your question.
    Another, no less sensible reason, is using a modern, object-oriented
    language, as opposed to the limited PL/SQL.

      Pray tell me, what reason do you have to call PL/SQL limited?
      Do you prefer a memory hungry interpreted language with an awful
      syntax, which is just the latest hype (like OO is too) to a compiled
      native language?
      You can't be serious about that, unless you work for a hardware vendor
      Java is a disaster. It is mainly used by developers who can't think,
      can't program, and don't know Oracle.
