Oracle Press Release
Java, XML and Oracle9i(tm) Make A Great Team

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Dec. 22, 2000 - Internet
developers worldwide are using Java and XML together to
build the next generation of dynamic, content-rich applications
on Oracle9i. In a recent survey conducted at Oracle(r)
OpenWorld 2000, 72% of Oracle(r) developers working with
XML choose to use Java over C/C++ as their preferred
programming language. Based on Internet standards, Java and
XML work hand-in-hand to enable the exchange of any data
across multiple operating systems, applications, browsers and
wireless devices. As the industry's first software company to
embrace -- across its entire platform -- Java, XML, SQL, and
PL/SQL, Oracle plans to continue its complete support of all
Internet standards ratified by the Worldwide Web Consortium
(W3C). 

"Java and XML complement each other very well," said Tyler
McDaniel, senior analyst of Application Strategies, Hurwitz
Group. "Java is ideal for writing components and applications
that run anywhere, and XML is the default format for defining
e-business data because it is fully extensible and flexible. Java
brings to e-business applications the portability that XML brings
to e-business data."
