Scope

The Oracle JVM component is available to support the use of java programs in the database.

It allows one to store,load and run Java sources/classes from the database in the form of Java Stored Procedures which are invoked as PL/SQL Stored Procedures.

Because the Oracle JVM support system is located within the database, the JVM interacts with the Oracle Database libraries, instead of directly interacting with the operating system.
