About this release

Oracle Reports 10g focuses heavily on Web publishing, having moved fully into its role as a universal publishing solution. In earlier releases, prior to Oracle9i Reports, Reports Builder's Web feature simply displayed paper reports (that is, multiple pages) in HTML or PDF. This moves corporate data onto the Web, but also results in large and somewhat inflexible HTML pages.

One of the major features of Oracle Reports 10g is the incorporation of JavaServer pages (JSPs). Through the use of JSP technology, Oracle Reports 10g embeds report data directly into Web pages. The many other new features are summarized below, followed by deprecated, obsolete, and changed functionality and components.

For more information about any of the new features, see the Oracle Reports 10g page on the Oracle Technology Network (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/index.html).
