EclipseLink or Toplink, where is Oracle heading?
586463Jun 24 2008 — edited Jun 24 2008I am confused about the direction Oracle is taking with it's ORM offering with respect the the rest of the Oracle Fusion stack. I am a consultant that has a client that has dictated ONLY oracle technology. However this simple statement is much harder to comprehend, especially when dealing with 11G technologies.
Nowhere can I find ANY reference to EclipseLink in OC4J 11G, JDeveloper 11G, or Oracle Fusion Middleware. In fact the latest OC4J TP4 and JDeveloper 11G TP4 do not include EclipseLink. They continue to include some (???) version of Toplink along with Toplink Essentials. In fact, the Oracle Fusion middleware documentation has been updated with some brand new JPA examples, which all use Toplink Essentials.
What's going on here, I need to understand what Oracle's direction is and when EclipseLink will be recognized in other parts of the technology stack?
Does the rest of Oracle know that EclipseLink exists beyond the development team?
