Calling Oracle Stored Procedure from BC4J JSP App

Question

I am on an extremely tight deadline and am trying to get my JSP application to use an Oracle Stored Procedure. I need to take some input from the user and send these values as parameters. Has anyone worked with Stored Procedures in JDev3.1? Please reply with some sample code if possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
Someone posted a similar request the other day. Here is my response to them:
Basically, you need to create a custom method from your JSP's ViewObject, which calls the stored procedure. You can then call the ViewObject's custom method from the JSP client.
Here is how I have done it:
1. Choose the ViewObject that your JSP is based on and choose 'Edit' from the context menu.
2. On the Java tab of the ViewObject wizard, choose Generate Java File checkbox for the View Object Class and click the Finish button. A file is created under the ViewObject node in the Navigator named 'viewobjectImpl.java'.
3. Open the viewobjectImpl.java file in the code editor and create a method to call your stored procedure (see sample code below).
4. Compile the VOImpl.java file.
5. Choose the view object again, and choose Edit again from the context menu.
6. On the Client Methods tab, you should now see your method appear in the Available field. Select it and shuttle it to the Selected field.
7. Click Finish to leave the VO wizard, and rebuild your Business Components project.
8. In your JSP, call the custom method (see sample code below).
sample code for custom method calling a stored procedure from VOImpl.java file:
public int getTotalHits(String mon, String year) {
CallableStatement stmt = null;
int total;
// the call to the PL/SQL stored proc
String totalhits = "{? = call walkthru.total_hits(?,?)}";
// use the AM conxn 2 call storedproc
stmt = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement(totalhits, 1);
try
// Bind the Statement Parameters and //Execute this Statement
stmt.registerOutParameter(1,Types.INTEGER);
stmt.setString(2,mon); stmt.setString(3,year);
stmt.execute();
total = stmt.getInt(1);
catch (Exception ex)
throw new oracle.jbo.JboException(ex);
finally
try
stmt.close();
catch (Exception nex)
return total;
sample render code for calling custom method from JSP custom bean:
public void render() {
int totalhits;
try
Row[] rows;
// Retrieve all records by default, the qView variable is defined in the base class
qView.setRangeSize(-1);
qView.first();
rows = qView.getAllRowsInRange();
// instantiate a view object for our exported method
// and call the stored procedure to get the total
ViewObject vo = qView.getViewObject();
wtQueryView theView = (wtQueryView) vo;
totalhits = theView.getTotalHits(session.getValue("m").toString(),session.getValue("y").toString());
out.println(totalhits);
} catch(Exception ex)
throw new RuntimeException(ex.getMessage());
}
