Java has been a phenomenon. The language has gained popularity and acceptance with a breathtaking p ace which can be attributed as much to the beauty of the language as to lots of other things that  has happened as by-product of Java's rise to fame. The in-depth knowledge of object-oriented devel opment is no longer confined to a select group of few. Large numbers of young Java programmers unde rstand and practice the nuances of object orientation very well thanks to their exposure to Java.

Component based architecture has received fair amount of attention since Sun introduced Enterprise Java Bean(EJB) specification. More and more IT professionals are educating themselves with details of EJBs. The concept of multi tier has been around since long, the concept of MVC (Model-View-Contr oller) is not new. Still Java can be credited with triggering a fresh interest in MVC style of dev elopment. Developers, who had earlier limited themselves to writing application code, now take comp onent approach seriously paying attention to database schema and middle tier.

Relational databases play major role in this architecture. Most of the requests made to a web site have something to do with data residing in a database. There is always high volume transaction bet ween the web server and the database. The importance can be gauged by the number of books on JDBC .

Oracle Corporation recognized the importance of Java API and Database communication and created the  Java Virtual Machine (JVM) right into the database server. Anticipated advantage of this approach is faster response time for Java programs which interact with the database. This also means that de velopers working on server side Java code have to know working of the database. It has become possi ble to use a combination of Sqlj, Java, JSP, CORBA alongwith PL/SQL to develop server side web appl ication.

Java executes platform-independent bytecodes on top of a JVM, which in turn deals with the specific  hardware platform. Anytime you add levels within software, your performance is degraded. Because J ava requires going through an intermediary to interpret platform-independent bytecodes, a degree of  inefficiency exists for Java applications that does not exists within a platform-dependent languag e, such as C. To address this issue, several JVM suppliers create native compilers. Native compiler s translate Java bytecodes into platform-dependent native code. This eliminates the interpreter ste p and improves performance. Oracle8i uses static compilation to deliver its core Java class librari es, the Aurora/ORB, and JDBC code in natively compiled form.

This presentation explores components of web application that interact with database JSP, Java Appl ets, Java Servlets, CORBA. The speakers will share their experience of deploying these components outside the database and inside the database and provide a comparison.
