Remarks
".. one of the most astonishing success stories of Java, Oracle and Open Source co-operation. This is DBPrism (or the
project formerly known as OWSKiller). Originally created by Marcelo F. Ochoa to ride upon the Apache JServ web server system (before iAS itself got there), DBPrism is a
Java servlet system which can be used to emulate the old Oracle Web Application Server PL/SQL Cartridge, as well as now tackling the latest Oracle Internet Application
Server products, in conjunction with mod_plsql.
DBPrism is also a fully open-source project, with Apache style licensing. Primarily interacting with Oracle PL/SQL to drive web output, DBPrism also enables Oracle8i/9i/10g
Java Stored Procedures for web output. The most exciting avenue for DBPrism is perhaps the Oracle database support it provides for the XML-based Cocoon CMS (Content
Management System). Cocoon is another Open Source project from the Java Apache Project.
DBPrism is a triumph..."
