Oracle JPublisher was deprecated in Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1). As of October 2014, all JPublisher features are desupported and unavailable in Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2). Oracle recommends that you use the alternatives listed here:

  • To continue to use Web service callouts, Oracle Corporation recommends that you use the OJVM Web Services Callout utility, which is a replacement for the Web Services Callout utility.

  • To create Java client applications for PL/SQL programs and SQL objects, Oracle Corporation recommends that developers use other JDK development tools that assist you to create Java STRUCT classes, and other prestructured options.
