Oracle to Boost AJAX, Java

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the who-doesn't-like-a-little-pick-me-up dept.

InfoWorldMike writes "Oracle will submit its AJAX render kit to the open source community, and announce a reference implementation of the Java Persistence Architecture at next week's JavaOne conference." From the article: "To bolster AJAX, Oracle will submit its AJAX render kit to the open source community as a follow-up to a previous donation of JavaServer Faces (JSF) components. 'It allows people to work with the JSF components but [they] can display that using AJAX technology, which basically allows them to [have] a much richer environment in the browser,' said Ted Farrell, chief architect and vice president of tools and middleware at Oracle.

    Although the parent post could be thought of as a troll, I think it's just a typical response by someone that hasn't kept up with Oracle. If you think it's 7+ years since Oracle's done anything in the Java market, then you haven't been paying attention.

    OAS was discontinued several (3?) years ago. It was crap. Oracle acknowledged it, bought the code for the Orion app server, updated it, added functionality, and released it as their app server. It's a very powerful product, and has very good performance.

    TopLink is an Oracle product. TopLink is one of the best ORM projects available.

    ADF is a very powerful enterprise level development framework.

    Oracle is one of the major players in creating and releasing JSF components.

    Oracle JDeveloper is a very powerful and free Java IDE.

    The reality is that Oracle's Java offerings are quite good now, much better than when you last looked.
