Advantages and Disadvantages of calling java from PL/SQL

Hi,
I have one doubt. What are all the advantages and disadvantages of the calling java from PL/SQL?
In actual scenario the java program will be in the Application server side. It will do the operation and it will store the result in Data base. But in this case (calling java from PL/SQL), we are loading the java program in the Data base and it is doing the operations.
I have seen many posts are coming regarding loading jar files into the database. Actually the jar will deploy in to Application server. Is there any difference instead of keeping in the Application server side?
Then I have read,
advantages:
-> java having lot API's. so PL/SQL can use that API's.
-> if we can not do anything in PL/SQL. we can do it using this mtd(calling java from PL/SQL).
My questions:
-> could you explain what are all the things we can not do but we can do using "calling java from PL/SQL" method?
-> is there any other advantages?
Disadvantages:
-> the performance is very slow in calling java from PL/SQL.
My questions:
-> Then why others are loading java files and jar files into database?
-> is there any other disadvantages?
Could you explain about this one? It will be more helpful to others also…

kk

Advantages and Disadvantages of webdynpro JAVA over J2ee?

Hi,
Can anybody provide me the advantages and disadvantages of webdynpro java over the J2EE?
Regards,
Harish.

Hi,
Webdynpro is the SAP standard technology for developing business user intrefaces.
Webdynpro is like the frame work which follows the MVC Design pattern.
Webdynpro uses most of the UI developement as declarative approach , i.e. most of the code will generated by the framework. so it will reduce the developement efforts.
Adaptive RFC model to connect with SAP systems.
All these are advantages over than the J2ee.

Calling java from pl/sql in oracle 10g?its very urgent.

Hi Friends,
i hve simple java code:
class Hell
public static String Hello()
return"hello world";
& compile this code using javac & loaded Hell.class in to database using this command
c:\>loadjava -user chandru/shekar@pulser c:\Hell.class
& i wrote pl/sql like:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Hell RETURN String as language java name 'Hell.Hello() return java.lang.String';
i will compile the code & run but at that time this error i am getting:
ORA-29516: Aurora assertion failure: Assertion failure at eox.c:317
Uncaught exception System error: java/lang/UnsupportedClassVersionError
I am using oracle 10g.Plzzzzzzzzz help me.Its very important to for me.
Is any path i hve to set for oracle 10g database.Plz any one help me.
regards
shekar

Hello here is how I solved the problem
Let us assume that i try to load the file Hello.Java into the user scott.
public class Hello {
     public static String world() {
          return "hello world";
1) Dropjava
You must drop the java class if you already have loaded the class onto the server.
dropjava -u scott/tiger Hello.class
2) load class on server and let the server compile the source code.
It is necessary to compile the source code on the server when the server and the local machine have different Java versions. To check which Java version there is running on the client machine open a command prompt and write Java -version
loadjava -user scott/tiger -resolve Hello.java
3) Publish stored procedure
sqlplus scott/tiger@oracle
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION helloworld RETURN VARCHAR2 AS                LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'Hello.world () return java.lang.String';
4)Call stored procedure
VARIABLE myString VARCHAR2(20);
CALL helloworld() INTO :myString;
PRINT myString;

Calling Java from PL/SQL truncates long

We are using Oracle 8.1.6 on Sun.
We have a table with a field defined as type Long.
When a record is inserted into the table, a trigger fires a java stored procedure.
The stored proc takes the provided long and attempts to pass it to a RMI call.
The long is passed as a java.lang.string.
However, the class that is invoked through RMI received a NULL value.
null

Is the same problem happening for a small String value also?
i.e stroing the a short value in the long column also causing the same problem.
Will it be possible to give us some kind of test case (code) or you can give us the exact steps to reproduce the problem.

Calling JAVA from PL/SQL

Hello,
Are there any PL/SQL code examples on how to call a JAVA program from a when-button-pressed trigger event?
Thanks much.

Hi,
I was able to import the JAVA code via the "Import Java Classes". Now, what PL/SQL statements do I put in my "when-button-pressed" trigger to execute this JAVA code? Any samples around, preferably with examples of parameter passing.
Thanks in advance!!

URGENT - Call java from pl/sql

Hi,
How Can I call external java class in a pl/Sql ??
Regards
Giordano

Hi
a way to do that, is to load the external java class in your database, like that (ORACLE_SID is setting):
loadjava -user myuser/mypassword /mypathname/myPackage.class
Then, you must declare this external procedure like that,
(for example)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE p_jMyProcedure (Param in varchar2) AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'myPackage.myProcedure(java.lang.String)';
you can call your procedure as a pl/sql procedure

Advantages and Disadvantages of Soap

Advantages and Disadvantages of Soap
Hi Firends,
Could you please tell me the Advantages and Disadvantages of using Soap adapter, i need them urgently.
Note: High reward points will be given for each answer

Hello
SOAP is an XML-based protocol for exchanging information in a decentralized, distributed environment. It was made for Web, a combination of XML and HTTP opens up new options for distributed data exchange and interaction in a loosely coupled web environment. SOAP is a technology that allows XML to move easily over the Web. SOAP does this trough an XML envelope for delivering XML content and specifying a set of rules for services to follow when they receive a SOAP message.
The fundamental change brought about by SOAP has been the ability to move data anywhere across the Web. Before SOAP there were only two main options for moving data between partners.
One was to build a wide area network spanning a broad geographic region and let the partners plug into it. This was the approach taken by EDI, which defined messages and protocols for data transfer but left the network details up to the partners. The result was a collection of networks that pretty much locked the partners in and made it difficult and expensive to reach out to other EDI networks and costly to bring in new partners.
The second approach for moving data between partners was to build a distributed object infrastructure than ran over the internet. This was the approach taken by Common Object Request Broker (CORBA), Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM). The problem was that each had to decide on a protocol that could sit on top of TCP/IP and handle inter object communication. CORBA Chose Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP), DCOM chose object Remote Procedure Call (ORPC), and RMI chose Remote Method Protocol (JRMP). While this approach reduced the need to share the same underlying network, the drawback was that CORBA could talk to CORBA, RMI to RMI and DCOM to DCOM, but they neither could talk to each other nor directly to the web except through special sockets that required adding extra layers to an already complex architecture.
SOAP the third option, combines the data capabilities of XML with the transport capabilities of HTTP, there by overcoming drawbacks of both EDI and tightly coupled distributed object system such as CORBA, RMI and DCOM. It does this by breaking dependence between data and transport and in doing so opens up a new era of loosely coupled distributed data exchange.
SOAP Carries an XML RPC tradition by defining an XML language for packaging arbitrarily XML inside an XML envelope. Although SOAP does not depend on HTTP, the momentum behind SOAP is attributable to the fact that HTTP will usually be used for transfer protocol for SOAP messages.
SOAP is a transport protocol similar to IIOP for CORBA, ORPC for DCOM or JRMP for RMI.
SOAP differs from CORBA, RMI or DCOM in several ways.
IIOP, ORPC and JRMP are binary protocols, while SOAP is a text based protocol that uses XML. Using XML for data encoding makes SOAP easier to read than a binary stream.
1) Because SOAP is text based, it is able to move more easily across the firewalls than IIOP, ORPC or JRMP.
<p2) SOAP is based on XML, which is standard driven rather than vendor driven. Potential adaptors are less likely to fear vendor lock in with SOAP. </p2>
The net effect is that SOAP can be picked up by different transport protocol and delivered in different ways. For example, when used with HTTP it can be delivered to a web server, when used over FTP it can be deposited directly into a file system and when used with SMTP it can be delivered to a user's mailbox.
Many companies exchange data between established partners is proving totally satisfactory way to leverage the benefits of XML and the web. In this scenario the required are an agreed upon schema either DTD or an XML schema, for XML data being exchanged and the SOAP server capable of handling the incoming XML as it arrives over the web. Details about what kind of schemau2019s to expect and who will check the XML conforms to the schema are decided offline by individuals participating in the process. On the software side senderu2019s needs to be involved in packaging their data in an XML document. For those companies already storing data in XML, this should require only minimal effort. If the stored XML data is not in the form required by the agreement, an XSL Transformation(XSLT) style sheet can be programmed to automate the transformation.
SOAP messages define one way data transmission from sender to the receiver. However SOAP messages are often combined to implement patterns such as request-response. When using HTTP binding with SOAP, SOAP messages can use the same connection as the inbound request.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Idoc

Advantages and Disadvantages of Idoc
Hi Firends,
Could you please tell me the Advantages and Disadvantages of using Idoc adapter, i need them urgently.
Note: High reward points will be given for each answer

Hi,
If u choose IDOC the data transfer will be done completely by IDOC method. The records will be as Control Record, Data Record & Status Record. Under the InfoIdoc, the data will be stored in segments. The data is safe here & using status redord could identify the status of the transfer.
some pros and cons....
1. Limited to 1000 bytes / record.
2. User cannot access the data as in PSA.
3. Data Security is more.
4. Good for less volume of data.
5.Fast to load, easy processing, low programming for standard IDOCs
6.Good knowledge of IDOC processing required, time consuming if changes have to be made to a created IDOC
7.It cannot be used for SYNCHRONOUS COMMN
8.Maintence of port and Genration of partner profile is difficult.
9.ALE configuration steps required for both in XI and SAP-R/3.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d19fe210-0d01-0010-4094-a6fba344e098
I ) In the case where we encounter a standard IDOC provided by SAP or Situation where a mapping is available or an IDOC as well as a BAPI exits, the approach will be dependent on the specific integration scenarioo......
for For example, options might be
1) sending one IDOC at a time
2) combing multiple IDOCS and sending as a single IDOC.
3) making one single RFC call, for each business transation.
4) avoiding multiple calls to the same BAPI / RFC by deploying a wrapper BAPI and sending all records in one call.
5) Using the proxy and sending all data in one shot and making single calls to the BAPI from the proxy.

Advantage and disadvantages of XI

Dear All,
I was asked to list down the Advantages and Disadvantages of XI over other middleware tools in an interview
Please advice.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Advantages of XI:
XI is a middleware like many others. It is well suited for connecting SAP systems with each other and with non-SAP.If your focus is not on SAP systems, other solutions might be a better choice today. SAP XI provides an integrated workflow engine that allows to define adapters to non-XML-protocols and mappings to convert data content from source to target.
Any fully mature middleware should provide these three layers.
1. An independent Message Queue
2. A data consolidator and mapping engine
3. Workflow processor.
XI is lacking full-fledged Message Queue compared to other established Middleware products.
Currently, SAP XI does not have the features like IBM Websphere, Seeburger or TIBCO.
SAP's next XI release might provide this missing piece and many more features which is due 2007 i guess.
Here are the advantages of SAP XI from my point of view.There are lots of advantages but to list a few :
Easy Integration with SAP products & components (RFC, IDOC, Proxy).
Data security as expected from any SAP product.
Standards based - XML, XSD, Xpath etc
Ability to communicate with other messaging systems/products.
Business Process Management
Synchronous & Asynchronous communication possible.
Complex processes for communication possible instead of only sending and receiving (business process management) (connect e.g. asynchronous and synchronous steps, define complex communication scenarios)
Mapping etc possible to accomplish in Java. Platform independent Java components.
Java & .Net support.
Big range of adapters for different technologies / tools (SOAP, Mail, JDBC, CDIX...)available in standard or offered by other companies (EDI e.g. by Seeburger).
Process functionalities inside XI to modify content in the communication channel on own defined rules fpr business purposes.
Central monitoring for data communication for all your communication between different systems.
And the marketing issue: SAP and its partners provide high volume of development capabilities to make XI always up-to-date for new requirements

Advantages and Disadvantages of Dual booting Windows on PXI Device

Hello,
In solving my previous problem of running a DLL in RTOS I've stumbled upon another solution. But i wanted to know the pros and cons of this before i make the leap.
I want to install windows on the PXI device so that the NHR DLL files are run inherently on the windows kernel and i have access over my DAQ devices without placing them in the remote target.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of installing a windows only on the DAQ device and running all my operation from it. Do i loose my real time features? I dont know, I'm really new to LabView and may sound really dumb. Please excuse my lack of knowledge.
With Regards,
Khalid.

Hello Bob,
Thank you for your insightful answer. I also thought this might happen, loosing all the RT features.
I have another question for you. If i use a RT variant of windows like "Windows Embedded 8", will this make any difference? Can i regain my RT features by it or i have to go with the LabView RTOS.
I'm pushing towards a windows system because i have to run this DLL file from NHR which is not supported by the LabView RTOS.
Moreover, I could just install just windows onto the PXI controller. I'm not being able to make it dual boot. Can you guide me towards proper guideline to do so? I looked at the knowledge base file about dual booting, but the instructions dont exactly match with my available options in BIOS setup.
Any suggestions from anyone is much appreciated.
With Regards,
Khalid.

Advantages and Disadvantages of BEx Analyzer

Dear All,
Please specify the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES of using BEx Analyzer for reporting over a browser.Does the analyzer provide better performance?generate exhaustive reports?and found better by users since it is excel based?
Yours truly,
Ratish
[email protected]
+919820827647

Hello Ratish,
The advantages and disadvantages are primarily based on the light weight client and heavy client.
Excel -
1. It is heavy weight and needs a client installation
2. Analysis is easier , as excel functionalities can be used over BI data
3. People who know excel will like this
Web-
1. It is light weight and no installation needed at the client as browser will be available
2. Can not analyze the data from the report ( you need copy to excel)
In simple analysts and expert users like excel.
Users who just view the report and no more analysis will be happy with web.

Calling Java from Delphi

Can ActiveX bridge used for calling Java from Delphi?

Also trying to solve this problem, after creating the bean i packaged/registered it successfully, (tested the bean using beanbox, works perfectly) then tried calling it via createoleobject in delphi 7
(*Code Snip *)
Var
v : variant;
begin
try
v := createoleobject(Edit1.text); // my class name ie WorldPort.Bean (also tried WorldPort.Bean.1
except on e:exception do
showmessage(e.Message)
end;
end;
(*Code Snip*)
After this simple code failed i started backtracking , eventually after getting "Access Violation...etc in axbridge.dll" all the time. tried delphi "import activex control" got the same access violation.
Decided to test the example from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/beans/axbridge/developerguide/examples.html........ they both crashed on execution (calc.exe and boundprop.exe).
After this failed I tested these example classes on another machine, both crashed again.....
Also tried this experiment in VC++ , after adding the class to the Toolbox , i try to drop it onto a form, once again access violation.**PS**
('You will need VC++ and the Microsoft SDK to build the dll, download c++beta for free from microsoft site it you need it')** and a simple cmd file todo the job would look something like this:
echo - ** Build Java ActiveX Bridge **
echo Make sure these folders exist in jre--> axbridge\lib and axbridge\bin
cd\SDK\jre\axbridge\bin
set path=%path%;C:\MSDN\Bin;C:\VisualC++\lib
echo path
javac WorldPort.java
jar cmf Manifest.txt WorldPort.jar WorldPort.class
"C:\SDK\bin\packager.exe" -clsid {162193C4-AD5C-4A06-9F88-A737AE9B43AD} -out "C:\SDK\jre\axbridge\bin" WorldPort.jar WorldPort-reg
*** After running this cmd you will find the dll in bin folder and the jar in lib folder..***
Must Read:http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/beans/axbridge/developerguide/index.html
Hope some of this helps , if you have successfully created / installed/ used a "JavaActiveX" in Delphi , i would really like to try replicate it on my machine..
