Customizations and mod_plsql

Hi,

I have to comment on (amongst other things) the statement "All customizations for old versions of Oracle's E-Business Suite software will break and must be re-written using Java and XML" and the primary cause identified as mod_plsql.

Many customers are already using Java, very few customers use mod_plsql and depending on requirements a variety of tools could be used for extending the life of customizations. Examples are mod_owa as a replacement for mod_plsql, and the Reports to BI Publisher conversion utilities.

With Fusion there'll still be ways of utilizing technologies other than Java/XML for customization requirements. With the current Oracle eBusiness Suite you are not forced to use the products delivered with the Suite, and with service oriented architecture (SOA) and APIs becoming more commonplace the choice will be even greater.

PS. What is "Oracle eBusiness Suite 10.2"?
