In Oracle8i, release 8.1, contains a complete Java VM in the database (i can write a stored procedure in java). I can encapsulate this java in the database with EJB wrappers or Corba as well. I can call this java from plsql routines, i can call plsql routines from java.
This is different from java in OAS -- this java runs *in the database*, not in the middleware. You would use it to program data intensive stuff (why pull boatloads of data over the network to a middle tier to find the 1 row you really want -- just find the 1 row you really want to give it to some middle tier or right to the client)...
