Oracle plans to introduce Wireless Internet self-service applications for non-PC devices in an upcoming release of its <b>11i Suite</b> that will enable customers to receive B2B exchange information, handle urgent approvals and receive alerts. It also plans to enable the use of industry standard tools such as <b>Dreamweaver</b> to code self-service pages and build common reusable components as it evolves the suite into an object-oriented programming platform. Oracle also plans to implement a common application architecture based on Java Server Pages (JSPs) as the successor to its own PL/SQL application architecture. One Business Component for Java (employee benefits) has already made its way into 11i suite.<br>&nbsp; <br> <font color="#336699">This is <b>Part 2</b> of a 4-part examination of recent Oracle announcements.<br>&nbsp; <br> <font color="#336699"><a href="http://www.technologyevaluation.com/Research/ResearchHighlights/ERP/2002/04/research_notes/EN_ER_PJ_04_12_02_1.asp" target="_blank"><b>Part 1</b></a> began the summary of recent events.<br> <a href="/Research/ResearchHighlights/ERP/2002/04/research_notes/EN_ER_PJ_04_17_02_1.asp" target="_blank"><b>Part 3</b></a> begins a discussion of the Market Impact.<br> <b>Part 4</b> will contain User Recommendations.</font>..
