<The purported advantage of this is that JDBC access is much faster if you are "inside", and there is the opportunity to use all of the RDBMS infrastructure to make the Java engine scale to thousands of simultaneous users. From what I can tell from remarks of people I know that have used the product, Oracle has done a pretty good job with this part. (Certainly a lot better than you can do with the JDK.) Java is not just a language to write annoying applets that crash your browser -- it is gaining real momentum as a language to write large enterprise applications< The real risk for ORCL is that customers will actually use these JAVA elements, only to find out that the performance is terrible and that ORCL has led them down the wrong path. Personally, I think this is a major risk. Java is not ready for enterprise application deployment and anybody who thinks it is hasn't tried to develop applications with Java and actually seen how they perform. It's very easy to make them look good in demo's and in a vendor's lab. Its a much different thing in the real world of customer environments and applications.
