The brand-new jxtractor helps Oracle users to modernise their applications in Forms / Reports / PL/SQL to future-proof J2EE platforms - whether JSF, JSP, ADF or SOA.

One of the big problems in modernising legacy applications is that they contain valuable business logic that your organization cannot afford to throw away. Yet that business logic is often hard to identify and move onto your new platform. This is where jxtractor can help you.

Using our proven in2j technology, jxtractor migrates the original Forms / Reports into Java, including embedded the PL/SQL. The business logic is then readily identifiable within the migrated Java files, and can be extracted and run in combination with the jxtractor runtime which embodies the entire functionality of PL/SQL in Java.

You can use jxtractor in two ways:

• to incorporate the migrated business logic directly into a new, modern J2EE application or architecture
• to progressively make your Forms and Reports more light-weight by moving the business logic out, exposing business logic elements via SOA or as stored procedures. This will make the eventual replacement of the Forms a much quicker, simpler procedure.

Over the course of a Forms modernization project jxtractor could save you many thousands of hours of programming time, and avoid the many errors and glitches that are an inevitable part of a major software re-write.
