> Statement of Direction, April 2001
>
> Oracle9i is the first complete and integrated software solution for
> developing and deploying the next generation of Internet applications that
> can be delivered as online services. Oracle9i consists of the Oracle9i
> Database, the Oracle9i Application Server, and the Oracle9i Developer
> Suite. Oracle9i offers unified support for Java, XML, HTML, SQL, and
> PL/SQL. It supports all of the latest J2EE APIs - such as Servlets 2.2,
> JSP 1.1, JMS 1.0.2 and EJB 1.1 - and all the latest XML standards - such
> as XML Schema, DOM and SAX 2.0, and SOAP 1.1.
>
> Oracle9i Developer Suite
>
> In keeping with the overall Oracle9i strategy, Oracle9i Developer Suite
> provides the most complete and integrated development environment for
> building Internet web applications and services. Oracle9i Developer Suite
> includes the following components:
>
> Application Development
> - Oracle JDeveloper
> - Oracle Forms Developer
> - Oracle Designer
> Business Intelligence
> - Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition
> - Oracle Reports Developer
> Enterprise Portals
> - Oracle Portal
> Software Configuration Management
> - Oracle Repository
>
> Application Development
>
> From an application development perspective, the strategic direction is to
> provide a single Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that offers
> complete support for:
>
> Any language
> - Java, XML, HTML, SQL, PL/SQL
> Any operating system
> - Windows, Unix, Linux
> Any development style
> - UML modeling, RAD/4GL, component-based, 3GL
> Any of the latest Internet standards
> - J2EE, XML, SOAP
> Any phase of the development lifecycle
> - Design, implementation, compilation, debugging, deployment, performance
> and memory tuning, monitoring, application integration, and configuration
> management
>
> In addition, for productivity and performance, Oracle9i Developer Suite
> offers a common component-based framework for defining reusable
> transactional business logic. The framework deploys to the standard J2EE
> platform.
>
> Starting with Oracle9i Developer Suite, Oracle JDeveloper serves as the
> basis for the common IDE, and Business Components for Java (BC4J) provides
> the common transactional business logic framework. Highlights of new
> application development capabilities in Oracle9i Developer Suite include:
>
> - 100% Java IDE available on Windows, Unix, and Linux
> - Integrated UML modeling with automated synchronization between diagrams
> and code
> - Schema driven XML editing
> - SQL and PL/SQL development support
> - Integrated Java performance and memory profiling
>
> To maximize the level of integration, all new application development
> offerings will be part of the common IDE and will fully leverage BC4J. As
> a result of this strategic direction, Oracle has decided not to release
> Project Cherokee as a standalone product in either Oracle9i Developer
> Suite or Oracle9i Application Server. Instead, the Cherokee technology,
> ideas, expertise, and RAD development style will be folded into the common
> IDE and tightly integrated with BC4J.
>
> Oracle Forms is the leading 4GL tool, used by hundreds of thousands of
> developers all around the world. Oracle Forms provides the underlying
> infrastructure for Oracle's ERP application suite - Oracle E-Business
> Suite, and the recent availability of Release 11i is evidence of the
> incredible power and robustness of Oracle Forms. Oracle will continue to
> enhance Oracle Forms and support its large installed base.
>
> Oracle Designer provides an intuitive environment to model applications
> and databases. Oracle Designer automatically generates Oracle Forms-based
> applications from these models enhancing developer productivity.
> Leveraging Oracle Repository, Oracle Designer enables collaborative
> development enhancing team productivity. Oracle will continue to enhance
> Oracle Designer and support its large installed base.
>
> The Oracle9i integrated approach stands in stark contrast to the
> alternatives available elsewhere: complex and expensive multi-vendor kit
> approaches that require multiple standalone tools and servers for
> different languages, operating systems, development styles, and phases of
> the software development lifecycle. With Oracle9i, Oracle offers a more
> complete, integrated, and standards-based software infrastructure than any
> other vendor.
