Writing Java Applications on Oracle8i

JServer runs standard Java applications. However, by integrating Java classes within the database server, your environment is different from a typical Java development environment. This chapter describes the basic differences for writing, installing, and deploying Java applications within Oracle8i.

• Overview

• Database Sessions Imposed on Java Applications

• Execution Control

• Migrating from JDK 1.1 to Java 2

• Java Code, Binaries, and Resources Storage

• Preparing Java Class Methods for Execution

• User Interfaces on the Server

• Shortened Class Names

• Class.forName() on JServer

• Managing Your Operating System Resources

• Threading in JServer

  Note: You should refer to the detailed documentation for the different JServer APIs, to fully explore their usage. The intent of this chapter is to place Java APIs in an overall context, with enough detail for you to see how they fit together and how you use them in the JServer environment.
