Abstract

This talks gives an overview of the Java support inside Oracle 8i. Oracle wrote a special Java VM that executes in the same address space as the SQL and PL/SQL engine. This Java VM allows you to run Java Stored Procedures, CORBA objects, Enterprise Java Beans or Java Servlets directly inside the SQL server. By relying on the TP-monitor like capabilities of the Oracle SQL server Java programs running inside Oracle 8i "scale" extremely well.
