Java/Oracle Question

I got asked this question at an interview for a placement on friday:

What are the advantages of developing in house applications using Oracle forms instead of using Java from a technical and business perspective?

I was stumped at first but made some stuff up which I think was ok but could somebody possibly please tell me what I should have said.

Thank you for your time

Well,
Advantege of Oracle Forms
1. Link directly to the Database
2. Dynamic display of data (If I click on text box and enter a value - it could display a value - For example, I entered a customer ID and I could get a Customer name the moment I change to another text box)
3. Faster Data Processing. It could be very slow for a Java pgm.
