Security buffs within the enterprise would always throw a tantrum when dealing with the stored procedures. Traditionally, the implementation of stored procedures had been the responsibility of the specific application vendor and most of them could crash the whole database due to internal errors rendering wastage of precious time and money. Java stored procedures with its inbuilt security features is the new fad of security administrators who are finding it powerful, fast, and more safe. Java does not implement Pointers. Therefore, it is a safe bet for the developers to write secure code and procedures. In addition, with the JVM overlooking all the activities (the sandbox approach), there is no scope for external access that could jeopardize mission critical enterprise applications.
