We may get off subject here delving into Oracle, but... Are you saying that you use Oracle Developer? There is no product called "web developer". Their architecture looks like this: +---------+ +------------+ +-----------+ +Browser- + + Oracle + + Oracle 8 + + Based +--Internet--+ Application+ ----------+ + + Client + + Server + + + +---------+ +------------+ +-----------+ The app developed using Developer runs on the app server. The app server provides an encrypted interface between the app and a Java applet running in the thin client. The app behaves exactly as it would as if it were running in a client/server configuration, executing the same code, with the same Oracle security, etc. The beauty of this is that Oracle Developer apps do not have to be rewritten to become web-enabled with stateful connection to the Oracle database server. Of course, if the Oracle applications themselves are not up to par, then enabling on the web may not be a big plus. However, there is a certain financial appeal to an enterprise to implement its financials, HR, etc. via the web. The question remains, is SAP addressing this technological issue? Well... enough of this.
