[Quoted] Hi all.

This is a question that Oracle Consultants/trainers (and indeed Consultants in general it would seem) avoid like the plague - they refuse to answer.

Basically, if I'm developing an Intranet application against an Oracle8i database. But I have no idea as to whether we should use Oracle Developer (and Developer Server) or develop using Java (say using JDeveloper from ORacle or any other Java development environment).
I'm looking for the technical merits and issues here - Assume that we have a skilled team with both Oracle Developer and Java capabilities.

1.So which solution will run better?
2.Which will provide the best performance?
3.Should I maybe even try to use the PL/SQL cartridge of

Oracle Application server together with JavaScript? 4.Is there a full list of things to be considered? 5. If the application were to be deployed over the WWW (rather than just an Intranet), would it change any of the above or the ultimate choice?

This sort of information seems really hard to come by.

All help greatly appreciated.

In addition, any good articles or books on how to develop a set of screen, report and menu modules using JDeveloper (Java in general) would be great. I have experience in Forms, and it would appear that much of the default funtionality in Forms must be explicitly coded in JDeveloper - such as, for example, building up the where clause statement in a query screen. A paper/book for "From Devloper 2000 Forms to Java/JDeveloper" would be good.
