„This paper explains how Oracle’s J2EE-compliant Business Components for Java (BC4J) framework considerably simplifies delivering solutions that exploit the full set of J2EE technologies above by providing an off-the-shelf implementation of the numerous additional design patterns you would normally have to code by hand to achieve this goal. In fact, many of Oracle’s own applications development teams count on BC4J to deliver highly functional, well-performing J2EE applications in record time. A growing number of internal and external teams leverage BC4J for their J2EE development because as we’ll see below, the amount of "application plumbing" code required for the typical J2EE application is a lot more than first meets the eye. Since Oracle has made a substantial and long-term investment in the J2EE platform, the BC4J framework and the Oracle9i JDeveloper development environment are key parts of Oracle’s current and future Java strategy to improve productivity for developers targeting the J2EE platform.“
