The plug-in enables developers using the VisualCafe Interactive Development Environment (IDE) to seamlessly develop, deploy, and debug J2EE applications optimized for Oracle9iAS. The new module allows Oracle and WebGain customers to deploy mission-critical J2EE applications faster, without leaving the VisualCafe environment, while reaping performance benefits of Oracle9iAS.

Additional benefits for the VisualCafe and Oracle9i Application Server include:


   -- Fast deployment with local and remote Oracle9iAS instances.
   -- Transparent registration of Servlet, JSP, EJBs with the local and
      remote server prior to testing and debugging.
   -- Automated (single click) testing of an Oracle9iAS application within
      the VisualCafe IDE.
   -- Automated (single click) debugging of an Oracle9iAS application Java
      code with the Visual Cafe debugger.
   -- Remote debugging of an Oracle9iAS application running on a remote
      Server.
   -- Graphic User Interface (GUI) editor for editing Oracle9iAS XML based
      EJB and Application descriptors.
   -- Productivity enhancing project templates and wizards.
      Deployment of completed applications to Oracle9iAS from within
      VisualCafe.
   -- Test EJBs, Servlets and JSP's within the Oracle9iAS EJB container and
      Servlet, and JSP engine with VisualCafe.


``Webgain is excited that the Oracle9i Application Server is now integrated with the WebGain Java Development Studio,'' said Joe Menard, CEO of WebGain. ``WebGain's commitment to accelerating application design and development along with Oracle's expanding deployment solutions will insure that customers can accelerate their e- business initiatives.''
