Building on its November 2007 preview, Oracle previewed additional planned feature enhancements of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g.

Based on feedback resulting from close cooperation with customers testing in real-world environments, the latest preview of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g includes planned features intended to provide Java developers with a unified design and development experience based on new open standards for Java, SOA, AJAX, Web 2.0 and Security and to help reduce the time, effort and cost of developing Rich Enterprise, Web and mobile applications.

"As SOA, Web 2.0 and Rich Enterprise Applications continue to evolve in sophistication, Oracle is committed to helping insulate developers and customers from the complexity and pitfalls that accompany the vast combination of potential underlying technologies," said Thomas Kurian, senior vice president, Oracle Server Technologies.  "Through its standards-based, hot-pluggable foundation, the latest preview of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g further demonstrates this commitment."

Additionally, the preview showcases planned performance and manageability improvements, as well as tighter integration between various Oracle Fusion Middleware components.

Enhancements and new capabilities in this preview span the Oracle Fusion Middleware product family and include:

• Oracle SOA Suite
• Oracle WebCenter Suite
• Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF)
