But don’t I have to use Oracle JDeveloper/ADF if I’m serious about this?
From Oracle’s marketing materials:
Applications developed using Oracle Application Express and Oracle JDeveloper access the same data in an Oracle database and integrate with Oracle Application Server for services such as identity management and Oracle Portal. As a result, they complement each other perfectly.
