Oh,
the reasons are numerous. I wrote a SP in Java recently which publishes messages to a JMS (Java Messaging Service) Server. So integration with Java technology is one answer to your question. Another, no less sensible reason, is using a modern, object-oriented language, as opposed to the limited PL/SQL.
