Most software developers prefer to use appropriate software application tools that they are familiar with rather than experiment with newer dynamic tools that may assist in making the development task easier and or more efficient. “When the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to treat all your problems like nails” is a saying that can be found to be quite true when it comes to software application development. This article goes on to discuss which software application development projects are best tackled by Oracle Developer by examining the criteria for Oracle Developer applications. Oracle Developer applications criteria: Not all software devolvement projects can be tackled by Oracle Developer. This can be observed with the illustration of the Chess Game demos Oracle distributed with the first GUI release of Forms 4.5 (a predecessor to Oracle Developer). Though this illustrated what was possible, the use of another development tool would have been better suited for the job. As such it is vital to establish which kinds of applications are best developed using Oracle Developer. Oracle Developer is generally geared towards applications that: depend on the Oracle database, use a large number of forms and reports, span multiple platforms (i.e. Unix and Windows) and used multiple deployment methods. 1. Applications that depend on Oracle DB: Applications that rely on Oracle Database here refer to only those that extensively use Oracle. Though Oracle Developer may be used with other ODBC databases it is typically not recommended as a primary software application development tool. This is mainly because Oracle Developer is intended to be used with Oracle Database...

Most times presentations, spreadsheets, documents and emails in organizations are created faster than we can keep track of. Images, documents, web pages and other content types in this case are referred to as unstructured content. Since the amount of this content continually increases or grows within an organization on a daily basis the challenges associated with its distribution, management as well as creation continues to grow in tandem. Oracle’s WebCenter interface provides a solution to this matter. Oracle’s WebCenter content’s unified architecture makes it possible for all ECM (Enterprise content management) applications to be deployed on the same platform. This allows organizations to house and deliver unstructured content to multiple enterprise applications in their proper form. This technology allows companies and or organizations to efficiently and effectively build content rich applications, reuse content and integrate a large number of content services with other company applications. Enterprise content management applications help reduce resource bottlenecks, decrease costs, share content effectively, automate processes, effectively manage risk and minimize the number of lost documents within an organization. Oracle WebCenter offers organizations a truly unified Enterprise content management platform that provides a full collection of rich EMC functionality including image and document management, digital asset management, content publishing as well as records and retention management. Oracle WebCenter is a truly unified platform that delivers on the EMC promise by providing a single point of control, increasing user adoption and decreasing administrative and other ownership costs. Oracle WebCenter unified architecture makes certain that ECM specific content management capabilities are interchangeable, complimentary and extensible to each other as well as deployable on the same...

It is important for businesses and organizations to keep their modern enterprise software in pace with dynamic organizational or business needs. An organizations middleware must evolve along with that organization or business making sure to keep in touch with business changes such as growth, seasonal variation or contraction. Middleware should possess characteristics that allow it to be easily modified to accommodate such fluctuations as well as flexible and cost efficient in order to fully benefit its users. Oracle WebLogic Suite 11g, a foundational element of Oracle Fusion Middleware is a modern infrastructure foundation that offers just this. Oracle WebLogic’s design principles, best-of-breed and integrated hot pluggable contribute towards improved agility and astuteness of business applications while lowering IT costs and maximizing efficiency. This technology offers the ideal mix of scalability, performance and operational efficiency to support contemporary IT requirements driven by dynamic business needs. The following are just a few business and organization benefits of Oracle WebLogic suite 11g: Fast application server: This Oracle WebLogic server is proven to offer its users top performance. Regardless of whether it’s running on a single or multiple application server instances in support of your organization or business’s applications, Oracle WebLogic server offers its users the fastest performance. With most data centers deploying the newest hardware architectures including 64-bit memory, multi chips and high speed network connections it is only natural that they require a modern middleware application infrastructure foundation that offers server speeds that are not only advantageous to the end user but also help reduce costs with regard to hardware savings (more transactions per server) as well as management...

In order to stay competitively relevant in today’s dynamic business environment, businesses are moving to online platforms. This way they are able to expand their customer base and enhance their strategic competitiveness. However, to do so they need a reliable e-commerce platform on which to build their online business applications from. Oracle’s Java WebLogic server is one such platform. Not only does it allow for quick and simple application development, but it also provides a platform from which Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) can be created. The term Java was coined by Sun Microsystems (now merged with the Oracle corporation) to refer to a series of software programs that are used to develop applications. The beauty of using Java is that it can be applied across a variety of platforms ranging from supercomputer platforms, enterprise platforms as well as low-end mobile device platforms. The simple yet dynamic nature of Java along with its cross platform environment is what makes it popular with application developers. With the advent of world-wide use of the internet, the Java platform was re-designed to fit in with the world-wide web. Since then it has been the key element in web IT development. This web based Java application server is what is commonly referred to as WebLogic server. The Java WebLogic server has been the key link between back end systems and the internet. Before WebLogic server was created, the reality of businesses connecting with their clients over the internet was bleak. This was because most other web servers were and still are incapable of handling non-HTTP business logic requests. Web logic server...

Since 1977, the Oracle corporation has specialized in the production and marketing of computer components. This includes hardware systems as well as a number of software programs. Though the company focuses more on the development of databases and business management software such as ERPs (Enterprise resource planning) and SCMs (Supply chain management), it also dabbles in application development programs. The logic that drives Oracle’s applications development software division is the need to make it easier for programmers and users to use Oracle products. As such software packages such as J Developer make strategic business sense as the user will have everything they need. That way they engender a type of brand loyalty since given the ability to create applications that can run on Oracle products, the end user will not feel the need to rely on other brand products to satisfy their needs. J Developer is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that developers can use to create applications. The integrated features of this Oracle software can prop up the entire life development cycle of the application The main advantages of this IDE lie in the fact that its completely free of charge and offers development features in HTML, SQL, XML Java, JavaScript, PHP and BPEL. Oracles J Developer simplifies the whole process of application development by offering the developer a more declarative and visual approach to the whole process. This visual, declarative approach of the J Developer lets programmers visually alter code layout and properties by simply regenerating key code components. There area a variety of benefits that application developer’s can enjoy by simply using J Developer. Firstly, this...
