Understanding Concurrency Management After Migrating Oracle Forms to Java with ORMIT™-OpenJava
Migrating Oracle Forms to ORMIT™-OpenJava™ replaces the traditional stateful session and record locking model with a stateless, service-based architecture. Each interaction uses RESTful API calls backed by JDBC, meaning concurrency is managed directly at the database level, with optional business rule enforcement at the service layer (like optimistic locking). This modern design ensures cloud compatibility, supports horizontal scaling, and simplifies maintenance — making ORMIT™-OpenJava™ a future-proof platform for Oracle Forms modernization.

Why Agentic AI Tools Dramatically Increase the Risks of Oracle Forms → React/Angular Migrations
Modernizing Oracle Forms isn’t just about rewriting screens — it’s about preserving decades of business logic encoded in triggers, built-ins, and properties. While AI coding assistants like Codex, Claude, Jules, or Devin can accelerate new development, they fall short when handling the complexity of Forms migrations. This article explores why relying solely on generic AI dramatically increases risks, and how specialized solutions like ORMIT™-OpenJava combine AI accelerators with deterministic rules to deliver safe, scalable, and future-proof migrations to React or Angular.
