Many years ago (2001) I was writing my "Java Performance Reports", and I received this email. I never disclosed this (although it's not that a big deal), but it's never too late -
"Hi Osvaldo, I was cruising the web when I encountered your article on JavaLobby. I noticed that you referred to Oracle JServer. I just wanted to let you know that we now have a new J2EE environment that we believe is more suited for multi-tier application development and deployment. It no longer uses the custom JVM (Oracle JServer). Instead it runs on any standard JVM available for your platform. Although we still maintain and enhance Oracle JServer, we recommend to use it when running your Java in the database. I invite you to review the content in the following URL and would appreciate it if you could take out the reference to Oracle JServer in your article. http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/oc4j/content.html Regards, <name snipped> Oracle9iAS Oracle Corporation" For that reason I've never invested on the Java-inside-Oracle feature although I'm a heavy Oracle user (most of my enterprise projects, since I started my professional career in 1996, use Oracle). It's worth noticed that Microsoft's .NET-inside-SQLServer (stored procedures written in C#, VB etc.) didn't seem to gain any traction either. On the other hand, now that Oracle owns Java, perhaps they can change their mind.
