Reporting tool required

[Jes Sie]

Hi,
My company is currently reviewing their existing technology to incorporate Java (particularly EJB).
Currently they use heaps of Oracle Report 6.0 and Oracle Forms 6.0. I know a little of Ent Report Writer and Quadbase Report Writer, but can anyone else recommend or comment on other equivalent products?
Also, does anyone of you know of a way to "migrate" from proprietory PL/SQL used by Oracle Reports or Forms to more open Java standard?
------------------
Thank you.

Have you checked with Oracle on migration strategies since they are now pushing their JDeveloper toolset?
http://www.oracle.com/ip/develop/ids/index.html
Also, if you are talking about migrating the PL/SQL to Java Stored Procedures then I would advise you to do some serious benchmark testing because I have heard of performance problems in this area.

Thanks for the response.
I'm pretty new to Oracle side of technology. I have searched exhaustively on this but ended up mostly marketing gimmicks. Can anyone recommend me a book on "PL/SQL to Java Stored Procedures" and with simple samples on building Application via ORacle App Server 9i.
