Apples and Oranges... Completely different beasts. Basically: when would you use Java, and when would you use HTML? Forms would be a candidate over Java when: - you have personnel with vast Forms experience - You are not planning for new projects

Java/Forms would be in favor over HTML when: - you do need the richness and client side control, Java and Forms allow

HTML (and thus ApEx) should be considered when: - reponse time is important (HTML loads faster than Java/Forms) - your layout/client side control requirements are limited

Just to name a few.
Besides: ApEx runs in the database - security issues! Received on Tue Dec 05 2006 - 03:42:00 CST
