RE:<<Oracle Will Rewrite Applications As Components (04/06/98; 5:53 p.m. EST) By John Foley and Rich Levin, InformationWeek Oracle said it plans to rewrite its entire application suite as a collection of Java components, signaling a wholesale migration of its application source code to the object model.>> Could someone offer some background on the advantages of the 'object model', and possibly a applicable definition. Why is the learning curve going to be so steep for IT workers? Is this a trend among ERP vendors, I would be interested if SAP and Baan are heading in this direction. Any insight greatly appreciated.
