Moving From Oracle Stored Procedure to Java Stored Procedure

Hi,
We have been using Oracle Stored Procedures for a while and would like to switch to Java Stored Procedures.
Is there a tool that I can use to port Oracle Stored Procedures to Java Stored Procdures? If I end up in doing the porting manually how much time it takes for the porting ( I would like to know approximately for let us say 1000 lines of code how much time).
thanks in advace,
Raj

First of all, I have to ask ... Why? If the procedure can be done in PLSQL, then 90% of the time, that's the most efficient way to perform the function. Writing a Java Stored Procedure is fairly straight forward. There are plenty of examples included those included in the examples for "Expert One on One Oracle" http://www.wrox.com/Books/Book_down.asp?sub_section=1&isbn=1861004826&subject=Oracle&subject_id=48

Carl is the reason why PL/SQL stored procedures more efficient than java stored procedures because they are loaded into memory? The CBT's I am learning Oracle from keep saying the PL/SQL procedures are the most efficient, but they do not explain why.
Sorry for butting in Rajah.

Maybe not the most compelling reason, but we migrated our few PL/SQL SPs to java so that we only have a single language at every tier - java on the app server, java in the database, no need to maintain PL/SQL knowledge (which was pretty iffy to begin with)

The Java Ranch has thousands of visitors every week, many with surprisingly similar names. To avoid confusion we have a naming convention, described at http://www.javaranch.com/name.jsp .
We require names to have at least two words, separated by a space, and strongly recommend that you use your full real name. Please choose a new name which meets the requirements.
Thanks.

Hi,
Where can I find info on Java Stored Procedures ?

Right now we are using only oracle as the back end and now for our application we may need to support multiple databases. So we would like to use Java Stored Procedures.
