Re: Experienced PLSQL, Newbie to Java -- Why would one use java?

J. W. <so*****@comcast.comwrote in message news:<gv********************************@4ax.com>. ..
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.
