tell me what you think about OAS

My company is currently in the process of purchasing the Oracle App Server to begin a massive push towards web services and SOA through their portal environment. I'm pretty new to the web world and wanted to find out what others that have been using it think about their product. Tell me the good and the bad too.

Portal development seems pretty new to me. But then, my current client purchased Oracle 10G AS just to run Discoverer :roll:

JDeveloper combined with Ora 10G AS has a lot of potential IMO. But I'm not keen on ADF. POJO and TopLink are, so far, serving me well.

Most consultants I bump into use Eclipse or IntelliJ, and wish they were using IBM Websphere; if that counts for anything.

I would support that decision. I have used Oracle servers and tools for approx 8 years. Using JDeveloper 10g you can autogenerate webservice clients from WSDL files and create WSDL files for java code. Makes it very simple. you can implement a simple web services client within a day and is will be functional and adding value.

I do not work for Oracle or have any benefit in recommending Oracle for any benefit.
