Invoking Unix command with java stored procedure

Hi,
I have a perfectly working environment and now I am trying to replicate the same in another server. I have a java stored procedure which invokes the Unix command using java Runtime.exec() in my code named "run". I am sure that the code is called and the java class run is resolved in oracle as I could see that in dba_java_resolvers dictionary. But I am not sure whether the function in java is called or whether a exception is thrown. how to identify this? Could there be any thing to do with settings in oracle side? please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Marutha

Hi,
Do you get any output while running the code?
I'm testing similar solution and if there are any errors or Oracle can't execute the program due to permissions or other issues the error information will be displayed. Also in the Java class itself you need to catch exceptions and print stack trace to standard output.
declare
x number;
begin
dbms_output.enable(1000000);
dbms_java.set_output(1000000);
x:=system_command.run_command('testconnect.sh');
dbms_output.put_line('Returned value='||x);
exception
when others then dbms_output.put_line('Sql error='||substr(sqlerrm,1,250));
end;
<system_command.run_command> - replace with a call to your java stored procedure.

Performance problem with java stored procedure

hi,
i developped a java class, then I stored it in Oracle 8.1.7.
This class contains several import of other classes stored in the database.
It works, but the execution perfomances are disappointing. It's very long. I guess, that's because of the great number of classes to load that are necessary for my class execution.
I tried to increase the size of the java pool (I parameter 70 Mo in the java_pool_size parameter of the init.ora), but the performance is not much better.
Has anyone an idea to increase the performance of this execution of my class ?
In particular, is there a way to keep permanently in memory the java objects used by my class ?
Thanks in advance

before running Java, the database session needs to be Java enabled; this might be the reason why it is taking so long. If this is the case, you should see an improvement in subsequent calls, once a database session is Java enabled, other users can benefit from it.

I have some performance issue with java stored procedure. Hope some one will be able to help me out. I'm using java stored procedures in my application and basically these procedures are used to do some validation and form the XML message of the database tables. I have noticed that when I call the PL/SQL wrapper function, it is taking time to load the java class and once the class is loaded the execution is faster. Most of the time is spent for loading the class rather than executing the function. if I reduce the class load time, I can improve the performance drastically. Do any one of you know how to reduce the class load time. The following are the platform and oracle version.
O/S: IBM AIX
Oracle: 8.1.7

Invoking Shell Script from JAVA Stored procedure

I am trying to invoke shell script using Java Stored procedure.
When I run my java class outside of oracle using oracle user
account it works but as soon as i load it into database and try
to inovoke that class using PL/SQL wrapper it runs java class
but is not able to invoke the shell script. Any ideas would be
greatly appreciated.

Pleass search the forums for "runtime" as there are many threads and examples already posted.

Problems with java stored procedure.

I have a java stored procedure that uses a package called RmiJdbc
which allows calling remote JDBC data sources from any java capable
machine.
I've loaded the RmiJdbc classes into oracle via the loadjava
command and everything seems to come up valid.
The stored procedure does a Class.forName() to get the driver
registered, than attempts to connect to the remote RMI driver.
The particular line it dies on is this (see the error below):
c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:rmi:" + rmiHost + "/" + url);
A mangled version of this (minus the Oracle specific stuff) works
from the command line correctly. Can somebody point me in a
direction to figure out what's going on here?
THanks,
Eric

Deploy package with Java Stored Procedure without JDeveloper

I have a set of Java Stored Procedures deployed as a package on a Oracle 8i server. Everything works fine in my development environment, and now I would like to deploy the same package in the customers runtime environment. Both environments are running Oracle 8i rel 2 on NT.
Is there a simple way to use the JDeveloper .prf deployment profile without installing JDeveloper in the customers environment?
If not, can I the get the .jar files and .sql scripts from JDeveloper to create the call specs and package bodys?
I guess JDeveloper must have this information, and my idea was then to write a script using loadjava and SQL*Plus.
Regards,
Tom Bjerre

you would not be able to take just the deployment profile and run it outside JDeveloper.
You would be able to create archive of all java classes in the package using Deployment Wizard in JDeveloper.
Then you can load the jar file using the utilities in 8i.
JDeveloper does generate the SQL for CALL specs etc ., at the deployment time and it is printed in MEssage Viewer along with other information.
Hope that info is useful for you

APEX fails with Java stored procedure that creates a JDBC connection

Hello!
We are facing a strange problem since we have upgraded from Oracle 10g and Apache to Oracle 11g with Embedded Gateway.
Here is what we do:
** APEXX calls a PL/SQL package function "OPEN_CONNECTION" that wraps a Java stored procedure called "openConnection".*
FILE_READER_REMOTE_API.openConnection(user, password, host, port, service);
** The Java stored procedures "openConnection" opens a JDBC connection to an other database:*
public class FileReaderRemote {
private static Connection conn = null;
private static DefaultContext remoteContext = null;
public static void openConnection(String user, String password, String host, String port, String service) throws SQLException {
// Load the Oracle JDBC driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();
props.put ("user", user);
props.put ("password", password);
//props.put ("database", "//" + host + ":" + port + "/" + service);
props.put ("database", host + ":" + port + ":" + service);
props.put("v$session.program", "FileReaderRemote2");
// Connect to the database
remoteContext = Oracle.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:", props);
This procedure used to work fine before the upgrade, but now we see the following:
* It still works when called directly from TOAD or SQL*Plus, even under the user ANONYMOUS.
* When called from APEX and the target database is Oracle 11g, it still works.
* When called from APEX and the target database is Oracle 10g, it takes several minutes and we receive this error:
*"Socket read timed out"*
We have tested the following workaround:
We have created a database link to our own database and called the stored procedure through that database link.
FILE_READER_REMOTE_API.openConnection*@loopback*(user, password, host, port, service);
This works, but is not really an option.
I hope some one of you can explain this strange behaviour to me.
Best regards,
Matthias

You wrote
"Java stored procedures -- by definition - are stored in the 8i rdbms. !!"
From the Oracle8i Java Stored Procedures Developer's Guide
Release 8.1.5
A64686-01
"If you create Java class files on the client side, you can use loadjava to upload them into the RDBMS. Alternatively, you can upload Java source files and let the Aurora JVM compile them. In most cases, it is best to compile and debug programs on the client side, then upload the class files for final testing within the RDBMS"
This means that you can create shared classes that are used on both the client and server side. The source does not need to reside within the server (according to their documentation). Please also note the following from the Oracle8i JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference Release 8.1.5 A64685-01 for using the getConnection() method on the server:
"If you connect to the database with the DriverManager.getConnection() method, then use the connect string jdbc:oracle:kprb:. For example:
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:kprb:");
Note that you could include a user name and password in the string, but because you are connecting from the server, they would be ignored."
So if you're coding a shared class that is to run on both the client and server side, you might do something like this:
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection(
System.getProperty("oracle.server.version") == null
? "jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1521:ORCL"
: "jdbc:oracle:kprb:"),
"youruserid","yourpassword");
As stated earlier, the userid and password are supposedly ignored for server connections retrieved in this manner. I haven't tried this yet, but it is documented by Oracle.

Steve

If you have configured webutil without any problems then i presume you have configured jacob.jar file too for Client_ole2 to function properly you need to have jacob.jar and jacob.dll files.
There are so many topics in this forum for Client_Ole2. Just simply search. :)

For Java Stored procedures you'll need to use JDeveloper. For SQL Developer, there is a viewlet and a tutorial on this page:

Invoking a UNIX shell command from Java stored procedure

The program below is suppose do send an email using UNIX mailx program. It works correctly when I compile it in UNIX and invoke it from the command line by sending an email to the given address.
I need this program to run as a stored procedure, however. I deploy it as such and try to invoke it. It prints the results correctly to the standard output. It does not send any emails, however. One other difference in execution is that when invoked from the command line, the program takes about a minute to return. When invoked as a stored procedure in PL/SQL program or SQL*Plus anonymous block, it returns immediately.
Why would mailx invocation not work from a stored procedure? Are there other ways to invoke mailx from PL/SQL?
Thank you.
Michael
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
public class MailUtility
public static void main(String[] args)
System.out.println(mailx("Hey, there", "Hello", "oracle@solaris10ora", 1));
* Sends a message using UNIX mailx command.
* @param message message contents
* @param subject message subject
* @param addressee message addressee
* @param display if greater than 0, display the command
* @return OS process return code
public static int mailx(String message, String subject,
String addressee, int display)
System.out.println("In mailx()");
try
String command =
"echo \"" + message + "\" | mailx -r [email protected]" + " -s \"" + subject + "\" " + addressee;
if (display > 0)
System.out.println(command);
try
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/bin/bash");
BufferedWriter outCommand =
new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(process.getOutputStream()));
outCommand.write(command, 0, command.length());
outCommand.newLine();
outCommand.write("exit", 0, 4);
outCommand.newLine();
outCommand.flush();
process.waitFor();
outCommand.close();
return process.exitValue();
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
return -1;
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
return -1;

try adding the full explicit path to "mailx" in the command string that gets sent to Runtime. i would guess that the shell that gets spawned might not have a proper environment and thus mailx might not be found.

Using Java Resources with Java Stored Procedures

Hi folks,
Hope someone can help out with this one.
I have a java source file called PdfFormExtractor.sql. In that file I have a definition similar to.
CREATE OR REPLACE AND RESOLVE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "PdfFormExtractor" as
import com.adobe.pdf.FormDataFormat;
import com.adobe.pdf.FormType;
import com.adobe.pdf.PDFDocument;
import com.adobe.pdf.PDFFactory;
etc, etc.
};I have loaded a number of Java jar files into the DB with the following command:
   CALL loadjava -v -s -r -u db_user_name/db_password@SID -jarasresource name_of_jar_file.jarMy PdfFormExtractor class compiles with errors as it does not seem to detect the class files located in the jar files which located in the schema.
I have used the following query and determined that the JAR files are valid and present in the schema.
SELECT object_name, object_type, status, timestamp
FROM user_objects
WHERE (object_name NOT LIKE 'SYS_%'
         AND object_name NOT LIKE 'CREATE$%'
         AND object_name NOT LIKE 'JAVA$%'
         AND object_name NOT LIKE 'LOADLOB%')
   AND object_type LIKE 'JAVA %'
ORDER BY object_type, object_name;One solution appears to be to omit the "-jarasresource". This appears to cause loadjava to unpack the jar files. Unfortunately this means that you must drop any java objects from the same path as which they were created. Ideally I'd like to just load the java files and leave them as resources.
My question then is how do I get my source code to recognize that the files are in the schema. I thought this would be picked up when I do @PdfFormExtractor.sql from a sqlplus prompt (assuming the jars have been loaded and unpacked in the schema)
because I specified RESOLVE in the source definition
If anyone has any ideas they are most welcome as I've been stuck on this for the past couple of hours.

Transformation to WORD from XSLT with java stored procedure - PROBLEM

Hi all,
I'm building a java function for transformation of xml document through .xslt scheme to WORD. I use xalan.
Now, everything works fine if I run the java function on the client VM
But on the server where the classes needed for the transformation are loaded, it crashes with a strange exception
nulljava.lang.NullPointerException
Now I've located the problem, and it occurs in this line in the java code:
transformer.transform( new StreamSource(xmlFile), new StreamResult(osIzlez));
(where xmlFile is the source for the transformation, and the transformer is configured with the proper .xslt scheme, osIzlez points to a bytearraystream of a blob in the database where the .doc file is going to be generated and loaded)
I also found out that the NullPointerException occurs because the transformer is actually null on the server (although it's configured with the .xstl scheme and should not be null ! ), but on the client it's never null!
What could be the problem, does anyone have an IDEA?
Edited by: Daniel Kiprijanovski on 17.9.2009 03:07

OK, i found out that there's a reported bug about that exception on the java VM. I found a way arround it however.
Thanks,
Daniel K.

Perfomance problem with java stored procedure

It works, but the execution perfomances are disappointing. It's very long. I guess, that's because of the great number of classes to load that are necessary for my class execution.

Hello again,
I read the documentation of 9i and found some hints about different TCP/IP socket handling of 9i and a standard JVM.
There are some parts that give hints but I couldn't find a sample code to show how to handle the differences.
Could anyone tell me how to handle the differences or give some links to sample code?

Help with use of Java Stored Procedures to invoke Java Code within Applicat

Good afternoon everyone
Our development team is looking for some assistance/validation of a design strategy we are deploying for a client. Let me first layout the environment and then the design issue at hand:
Business User Workstation component: Oracle SQL*Developer 1.5.x
Reporting Tool: Actuate e.Spreadsheet A10
Application Web UI: J2EE application developed with Eclipse
Application Scripting: Application has a scripting component whereby business users can write Oracle PL/SQL to perform many of the functions that are available in the Web UI, but can be batched up or repeated several times.
Application Server WebLogic 9.2.3 (client constraint)
Database Serve: Oracle 11g, Release 11.1.0.7
Lots of other stuff included but irrelevant for this conversation.
Here's the scenario in question:
1.     Through the scripting solution, the application user must use PL/SQL to invoke functionality within the Web UI. All PL/SQL that the application user creates does not contain any SQL. Instead our security model mandates that “pre-defined” routines will perform all of the SQL operations against the database; the application user simply invokes the stored procedures of functions to perform activities in the database.
2.     There is a component of the scripting application that facilitates the creation of reports. In our application, we are using Actuate’s e.Spreadsheet Engine to create the report and format the report based on a template. The template is provided as input, as well as other data items, into Actuate for processing. The net result is the report is created by the Actuate e.Spreadsheet engine in pdf format and then sent back to the user for distribution to other users in the company.
3.     The Actuate e.Spreadsheet engine consists of one or more JAR files within the Application Server framework. The Web UI utilizes these JAR files as well to perform report generation and data manipulation activities. In the case of the reporting functionality, the pdf report that is generated by Actuate is returned into either the Web UI or into the scripting component for persistence in the database. The mechanism exists to create multi-step jobs that can create multiple reports in one run.
4.     So to facilitate the above, we are creating one or more Java Stored Procedures that will mediate the communication between the PL/SQL the user’s create and the Java components that are required for business processing. PL/SQL will invoke one or more Java Stored Procedures. Then the Java Stored Procedures invoke Actuate e.Spreadsheet, generate the report, saves the report in the database and returns control back to the invoking procedure.
So the question is: Is this a viable and correct use of Oracle Java Stored Procedures. What are the advantages/disadvantages of doing so? Any security issues or potholes that you can think of? Tuning issues for the JVMs? Any white papers that you can think of?
For any Oracle employees that respond, material such as Oracle Whitepapers, etc. would be great.
I can be contacted at (313) 227-4350 or at [email protected]
Thanks in advance.

So are you planning on loading the entire e.Spreadsheet engine into the database server's JVM?
If so, I would expect that to work, but I expect that you'd have some performance issues. I'd expect that the process of building these PDFs is going to be relatively expensive. Tuning the database server's JVM tends to be rather more challenging than tuning JVM's in an app server.
If not, I'm not sure how the Java stored procedure would invoke the e.Spreadsheet engine on the application server. It is possible to use Oracle AQ to send a JMS message, but I don't think you can use the standard J2EE JMS APIs-- I think you'd have to use Oracle's AQ interface.

Is it possible to use iFS API within java stored procedure?

question:
is it possible to use the iFS API for file handling
within a java stored procedure (which is invoced by a trigger)?
is there an "elegant" workaround if it is not possible?
problem:
my java code using the iFS API works fine outside
the java stored procedure
but invoked via trigger as java stored procedure
it throws following exception:
IFS-20102: Unable to start service (IfsDefault)
i am using:
oracle 9.0.1
oracle internet file system 9.0.1.1.0
windows 2000

thanks for your help
i looked through the applications developers guide
the basics behind advanced queueing (as far as i understand) is:
program A inserts a message into the queue - and program B gets message from the queue and processes it
question 1:
but what is the difference between advanced queuing and a queue i create by myself
(simply with a database table) and let application B (which runs in a loop)
check if the queue is filled
or am i missing something important which makes advanced queuing more practicable for my problem?
question 2:
you wrote about advanced queuing support in iFS 9.0.3, but the newest version i found was iFS 9.0.2
did you reffer to the advanced queuing mechanism in general or to a spezial queuing feature in iFS 9.0.3?
thanks
