Is Oracle9i JDeveloper up-to-date with the latest Java, XML and Web service standards?
Yes. Currently Oracle9i JDeveloper supports J2EE 1.2 with partial support for J2EE 1.3. In the summer of 2002, Oracle9i JDeveloper will release one of the first integrated development environments on the market to offer full J2EE 1.3 development compliance with JSP 1.2, EJB 2.0 and Servlet 2.3 support. Already, Oracle9i JDeveloper is recognized as one of the first IDE’s to offer built-in Web services support. Other tools like IBM’s WebSphere Studio Application Developer and SunOne Studio have yet to bring out J2EE 1.3 support. The Oracle9i JDeveloper team continues to aggressively adopt new Java, XML and Web services standards as they are ratified by standards bodies. This commitment to standards extends across the entire Oracle product line with extensive engineering participation in the Java Community Process (JCP), W3C, OASIS, Web Services Interoperability Group (WS-I) and other industry standards consortiums.
