Deeplinking to OTN

Oracle Technology Network, the World's Largest Community for Developers, DBAs, and Architects, has been revamped. Both the appearance and structure has changed, so now all my bookmarks and links are invalid; you end up at the 404 page or a generic section within OTN. No friendly redirects from old URLs to the new ones.

My two options: Either delete my bookmarks and unlink from my web site, or keep the broken links and blame Oracle.

I'll survive, of course. I just wish Oracle was a bit more concerned about their own survival . . .

There are a few things to keep in mind, and a patch to be added if you're running version 10.1.2.3 on a Linux server, and Oracle Application Server 10g Online Documentation to go through, but it's not at all impossible.
