Application Integration Improvements

Rather than deploying a series of separate and independent applications, companies are seeking an integrated solution -- applications that can work together. Through its openess and integration with Oracle Application Server, Oracle Forms provides an exstensible framework to access other technologies, like Java and XML, to help you meet your needs to build applications that can be deployed in today's complex network and Web environments.

Incorporate Java into Your Forms Applications

On the middle tier, the Java Importer provides a mechanism for a Forms application to call Java code contained within compiled Java classes. For example, you can generate PL/SQL packages for Java classes within a Forms module, and then instantiate, use, and destroy the Java object instances at runtime. This lets your Forms applications gain access to any other resources that use Java, or lets you use Java as a bridge to other resources and systems, whether hardware or software.

On the client tier, you can incorporate Java using JavaBeans or Pluggable Java Components. The new Dynamic JavaBean Manager integrates JavaBeans and applets into your Forms applications eliminating the need to write custom Java wrappers. Furthermore, heavyweight components are managed automatically for you.

In Oracle Forms, all Java is based on JDK 1.4.

Manage All of Your Environments Centrally

Oracle Enterprise Manager is a single, unified architecture for managing the complete Oracle Application Server environment. For example, you can stop Forms runtime processes, receive notification of critical issues, automate repetitive tasks, and perform realtime monitoring of resources such as CPU usage and memory consumption.
