  • Interesting... do you have a reference for Oracle using Java for the add-ons? If Oracle is using the JVM internally then that really shoots holes in any kinds of "well, no one uses it and it's likely to go away" arguments. Commented Jul 21, 2011 at 18:17

    Directly, no, but how about from AskTom? You Asked I've written a program which uses the utl_smtp to send a email to myself. However, when I run the procedure, the following error occurs: ORA-29540: class oracle/plsql/net/TCPConnection does not exist and we said... Some of the installer scripts forget to load the needed jar file for TCP/IP support in PLSQL. Simply: cd plsql/jlib loadjava -user sys/password plsql.jar Commented Jul 21, 2011 at 20:44
