Sriram,
Cherokee is not yet available and there are no papers on the Oracle or
Technet sites yet, although there will be shortly.
A sneak preview of Cherokee was published in the last ODTUG journal which
provides a good overview to the tool.
Anyway - the one paragraph overview:
"Oracle Project Cherokee is a standards-based, declarative development tool for building high-performance, scaleable HTML transactional data-aware components which can be embedded into any JSP or Oracle Portal Page. It combines powerful transactional processing as well as a very rich interactive HTML UI with an ultra-lightweight HTML footprint. Applications run natively in commonly used browsers such as Internet Explorer and Netscape. "
