Oracle has been focusing on XML and has already included XML capabilities in the Oracle 8i database as well as many of their tools. See technet.oracle.com for more information. I have also seen articles about the use of XML with an Oracle database in some of the technical journals that deal with Java and other internet programming topics. -Michael

Just to let other on what EAI is below is a definition. From gurunet. EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) is a business computing term for plans, methods, and tools aimed at modernizing, consolidating, and coordinating the computer applications in an enterprise. Typically, an enterprise has existing "legacy" applications and databases and wants to continue to use them while adding or migrating to a new set of applications that exploit the Internet, e-commerce, extranets, and other new technologies. EAI may involve developing a new total view of an enterprise's business and its applications, seeing how existing applications fit into the new view, and then devising ways to efficiently reuse what already exists while adding new applications and data. EAI encompasses methodologies such as object-oriented programming, distributed, cross-platform program communication using message brokers with CORBA and COM+, the modification of enterprise resource planning (ERP) to fit new objectives, enterprise-wide content and data distribution using common databases and data standards implemented with the Extensible Markup Language (XML), middleware, message queueing, and other approaches.
