Oracle 8i and Java: From Client Server to E-Commerce

Summary

Oracle users know: The Internet changes everything. Harness Oracle to the power of Java programming language to take your e-business to the top.

More than 90% of all e-business solutions include Oracle databases, from Amazon to eBay. But the database is only half the story. This book shows you how to use Java programming tools to bring your database to life on the Internet, utilizing the new integration between Java and Oracle.

Or, Java can be used directly with the Oracle Application Server as a full-fledged development and production environment, supporting Servlets, JavaServer Pages, CORBA, and Enterprise JavaBeans. At the highest level, Java applications can run directly into the database using the Java virtual machine that is part of Oracle 8i. All these powerful features make Oracle + Java a perfect choice for the secure, scalable, 24/7 needs of e-commerce.
