Hi,

I need to find reason to migrate from Oracle Forms to a J2EE Web
application (using UIX / ADF Faces and using JHeadStart to make it
rapid development ). The main reason actualy because we want to make
J2EE as our standard.

The application is HR accessed from many branches. If fully
implemented, maximum user could be 1000

Could any please tell me, actually what are the benefits of using J2EE
Web Apps compared to Oracle Forms ?
(e.g : using less bandwidth ? faster page rendering ? any other reasons
?)

Thank you for your help,
xtanto

You already have your reasons - political.

For technical reasons and thought processes, I recommend reading "Better,
Lighter, Faster Java" pub. by O'Reilly before making the jump.

I know this is not the answer for which you are searching, but IMHO,
J2EE is the most convuluted piece of crap/technology I have ever
seen...and I am a Sun Certified Java Developer!

I also agree with Hans - it is ALWAYS political. If you can make your
way through all off the J2EE stubs/skeltons/home interfaces, etc., then
move on to deployment descriptors/entity beans (where they decide when
and how often to commit) to get an application to work that has
probably worked reasonably well with forms, go nuts, but I honestly
think that for 98% of the apps out there, it is unnecessarily
complicated.

Regards,

Steve

Use EJB3 or hibernate.
