Creating an Array of a Complex Object Type

hi,
We have 5 different variables of a complex type(defined by an xsd).
We want to put the values from these 5 objects into a single array variable of the same complex type.
Is there any function in bpel to do this? Can we specify an element with a certain number of nodes (Array length)..
do let us know of any possible alternatives or solutions...
Looking forward to some replies on this one...
Thanks,
Vinod

Hi Vinod,
consider this.
<element name="Message">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="someElement" type="xsd:string/>
<element name="someOtherElement" type="xsd:string/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
<element name="MessageArray">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="Messages" type="Message" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
<variable name="Var1" type="client:Message"/>
<variable name="Var2" type="client:Message"/>
<variable name="Var3" type="client:Message"/>
<variable name="VarArray" type="client:MessageArray"/>

Creating PL/SQL web services from object types

Hello
Jdeveloper, pl/sql web-services working successfully with object types.If we want to send the web-services to the client, do we need to send the entire folder that is created in the web-services folder of the external oc4j..?
Creating the client process:
we are using the wsdl file that is generated in the web-services and adding to the partner link to Invoke the operations of web-services. Is there any other way to invoke the webservices?Could any one please suggest me?
Thanking you
Malathi

Hello
Accessing the pl/sql webservices from the application server:
I have created pl/sql webservice using the nested tables. This will insert the object data into database tables.after deplying the webservice into external oc4j, when I test the webservice locally with url: http://localmachine:8888/PL_SQL_WS-Nest_Obj_Webservice-context-root/ObjWebserviceSoapHttpPort
The above web-services working and I am able to insert into the database tables.
Same when I want to access through the application server, I have changed the wsdl file soap address as
<soap:address location="http://10.91.20.7:8888/PL_SQL_WS-Nest_Obj_Webservice-context-root/ObjWebserviceSoapHttpPort"/>
When I access this url, I am able to give the input data
http://10.91.20.7:8888/PL_SQL_WS-Nest_Obj_Webservice-context-root/ObjWebserviceSoapHttpPort
but the out from the web-service is:

How to set an array element in an object type of array??

Hi,
I have set attribute as follow:
Color[] colors;
Color[] colors = new Color[20];
colors[0] = "Red";
colors[1] = "blue";I can't compile this code. It said:
"Incompatible type -found java.lang.String but expected Colors
Could you tell me how to set an array elements when the array type is an object?

in your case, the array shouldn't be Color[] but String[] since you re intending to put strings into it
by the way, you could also use a hashmap to map a string to a color:
HashMap<String, Color> hm = new HashMap<String, Color>();
hm.put("Red", Color.RED);
hm.put("Blue", Color.BLUE);
etc.

Physical service to invoke Oracle stored procedure taking an object type

Hello,
I have some stored procedures in Oracle that take a complex object type as parameters. Can I invoke these directly from ODSI? If so, how do I create the physical service for this?
Example:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE "CCSUSERDV"."TEST_TYPE" as object (
name varchar2(80),
text varchar2(1000),
some_other number
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE CCSUSERDV.TEST
as
function joinText(inVal in TEST_TYPE) return varchar2;
end;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY CCSUSERDV.TEST
AS
FUNCTION joinText(inVal in TEST_TYPE) return varchar2 AS
BEGIN
if (inVal.text is not null) then
return inVal.name || '-' || inVal.text;
else
return inVal.name || ':' || inVal.some_other;
end if;
END;
END;
I Want to be able to call TEST.joinText from OSDI. I know I could create a separate function that takes all the attributes of my object, but it would be considerably more convenient to implement in terms of the object instead, because there are several functions that take the same set of about 20 fields as a request.
Thank you!!
Jeff

(1) Your best bet is to create a wrapper stored procedure that takes simple arguments and constructs the object, then calls your stored procedure with the object. You call the wrapper stored procedure from ODSI. JPublisher can create wrapper stored procedures for you.
(2) If it is impossible for you to create a wrapper stored procedure in the database, you can create a physical data service from the existing stored procedure. You will notice that the function in the physical data service will have simple arguments (not the object), and if you try to execute it, it will fail. It's up to you to write an anonymous pl/sql block that wraps the existing stored procedure (basically what you would have had to write for (1)), and edit the metadata in the physical ds - where it has the name of the stored procedure, replace the name with your anonymous PL/SQL block.
Below is what the CREATE_BATCH stored procedure from Oracle Process Manufacturing would look like. (it also has CURSOR args - so it is uglier than just Objects). It also demonstrates that you need to do a conversion of boolean args.

Report based on Object Types

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 9i & Developer 6i on Windows platform in client/server environment. I created a report based on an Object Type defined in the Database. I am facing two problems in that:
1. Its not picking up Date columns properly. When I run the report, I receive error: "REP-0612: Invalid Date Mask.
ORA-01801: date format is too long for internal buffer.".
When I checked, I noticed that all the date columns in my Data Model, which are coming from Object Type are of Width 9 only. I want to ask how is it so, & how can I sort it out. I have not specified any format model for dates neither in Object Type nor in Report anywhere.
2. Another thing is, after reopening the report, in the report builder, i mean closing & then opening the .rdf file, when I try to run the report, I receive following error: "REP-0499: Column 'Column_Name' selected by the query is incompatible with report defination". This column is one of the columns/attributes of the object type on which my report is based. Though, nothing has been changed in the object type or any other database object, it gives this error, everytime, I try to run the report, after closing it(after proper saving) & opening it again. Can anyone help me by telling, why is it happening like this.
Thanks in Advance,
Inderjeet Singh

Thanks for the quick reply InoL,
I'm not familiar with breakOrder, however when I review the code behind the report, I see nothing but:
breakOrder="none" in several lines. There is no other value other than "none" for this setting. Here's an excerpt:
"Group Name" breakOrder="none".
What exactly does breakOrder control and what other values are possible?
As far as pageProtect goes, there are two entries that show:
<generalLayout pageProtect="yes" verticalElasticity="variable"/>
Is it worth a shot to change both to "no" to see what happens?
Thanks,
Dave

Asset - Equipment Synchronization (Object type)

Hi Experts,
In our system, Asset-Equipment synchronization is activated. An equipment will be automatically created upon creation of an Asset.
Asset Class(Eg: 10006) is sync with Equipment category(eg : M) and equipment are created automatically. A set of Evaluation group 1(Eg: F001,F002, F003,F004,F005) are defined and Equipment Object types (Eg; F001, F002, F003) are defined for selected corresponding evaluation group 1 values
It is required to create equipment ONLY for those selected Object types (Eg; F001, F002, F003). Equipment should not be created for all.
Config allows to add one object type for Asset Class-Equipment category combination
How should i add more object types to same Asset Class-Equipment category combination?
i.e. :
Asset Class : 10006
Equipcategory: M
Object Type: F002
Asset Class : 10006
Equipcategory: M
Object Type: F003
Is it possible to do so...
Appreciate your guidance

Dear Sank
Standard Method: It is 1:1:1 assignment for Asset Class, Equipment Category and Object type.
Note that an asset class can be assigned at most to one combination of equipment category and object type. On the other hand, more than one asset class can assigned to the same combination.
However you can maintain Asset class and Equipment category assignment without any object type assignment so you would be able to create equipmetnts for all object types with specified equipment category.
User exits: AAPM0001 can be looked into to suit your requirement
Also look into SAP Note: 370884 - PM-AA 4.6C: Consulting on sync activation + corrections

CE7.1 SP3/SP4 Application service - complex return type

Hi all,
can anybody tell me how to create an operation with a complex return type (collection) within an application service.I can't find it in the documentation!
I would appreciate helpful answers.
BR,

Hi,
It isnt that tough ... following are the steps ..
Suppose you want to return a list of customers. First create a structure "Customer". Once that is done create another structure "CustomerList" ... now add "Customer" to it as the attribute. Set the cardinality of this "Customer" attribute as 0-n or 1-n ...
Thats it .. Hope this helps.

Displaying value of Object type

The static approach would be to add a DebugDump() method to the object type class - and code this method to display a "debug dump" (via DBMS_OUTPUT for example) of the current instantiated object. Of course, should the class change (new attributes added for example), this DebugDump() method has to be updated.
The dynamic method is more flexible - but requires a copy of the object to be created for the dynamic code to use and "dump".
As the static method is pretty straightforward, I'm only providing a basic example of the dynamic method.

Can we create an associative array of Object type Column

Hi All,
I have a scenario where there are many PLSQL Types passed as IN and OUT params in a procedure. Since the Java cannnot access these types, we've plannned to create Object types.
However the can we create one Object type as below:
create or replace type T_EMP_REC as object
emp_id number(8),
dept_id number(8),
emp_name varchar2(50),
Then now I want to create an array of T_EMP_REC.emp_id and others respectively. Is this possible.
The reason for doing this is, that we may get many emp_id, dept_id and emp_name for a condition and hence pass on the same to Java application.
Please share your thoughts to achieve for such scenario. Any pseudo or code logic is much helpful.

How to convert an array collection instance to a complex object for interaction with webservice

Hi there,
I have a stubborn problem that I am trying to work out the best way to solve the problem. I am interacting with a WebService via HTTPService calling a method called find(String name) and this returns me a List of ComplexObjects that contain general string and int params and also lists of other Complex Objects. Now using the code:
ArrayCollection newOriginalResultsArray = new ArrayCollection(event.result as Array)
flex converts my complex objects results to an arraycollection so that I can use it in datagrids etc. Now up until this part is all good. My problem is when getting a single instance from the results list, updating it by moving data around in a new datagrid for example - I want to interact with the webservice again to do an create/update. This is where I am having problems - because these webservice methods require the complex object as a parameter - I am struggling to understand how I can convert the array collection instance back to my complex object without iterating over it and casting it back (maybe this is the only way - but I am hoping not).
I am hoping that there is a simple solution that I am missing and that there is some smart cookie out there that could provide me with an answer - or at least somewhere to start looking. I guess if I have no other alternative - maybe I need to get the people who built the service to change it to accept an array - and let them do the conversion.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bert,
According to my knowledge you can use describeType(Object) method which will return an XML... That XML will contain Properties and values just iterate through the XML and create a new Object..   Probably u can use this method...
public function getObject(reqObj:Object,obj:Object,instanceName:String,name:String=null,index:int=-1):Obj ect
            if(!reqObj)
                reqObj = new Object();
            var classInfo:XML = describeType(obj);
            var className:String = instanceName;
            if(name!=null)
                className=name+"."+className;
            if(index!=-1)
                className=className+"["+index+"]";
            for each (var v:XML in classInfo..accessor)
                var attributeName:String=v.@name;
                var value:* = obj[attributeName]
                var type:String = v.@type;
                if(!value)
                    reqObj[className+"."+attributeName] = value;

Invoking stored procedure that returns array(oracle object type) as output

Hi,
We have stored procedures which returns arrays(oracle type) as an output, can anyone shed some light on how to map those arrays using JPA annotations? I tried using jdbcTypeName but i was getting wrong type or argument error, your help is very much appreciated. Below is the code snippet.
JPA Class:
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.sql.Array;
import java.util.List;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import org.eclipse.persistence.annotations.Direction;
import org.eclipse.persistence.annotations.NamedStoredProcedureQuery;
import org.eclipse.persistence.annotations.StoredProcedureParameter;
* The persistent class for the MessagePublish database table.
@Entity
@NamedStoredProcedureQuery(name="GetTeamMembersDetails",
     procedureName="team_emp_maintenance_pkg.get_user_team_roles",
     resultClass=TeamMembersDetails.class,
     returnsResultSet=true,
     parameters={
     @StoredProcedureParameter(queryParameter="userId",name="I_USER_ID",direction=Direction.IN,type=Long.class),
     @StoredProcedureParameter(queryParameter="employeeId",name="I_EMPLOYEEID",direction=Direction.IN,type=Long.class),
     @StoredProcedureParameter(queryParameter="TEAMMEMBERSDETAILSOT",name="O_TEAM_ROLES",direction=Direction.OUT,jdbcTypeName="OBJ_TEAM_ROLES"),
     @StoredProcedureParameter(queryParameter="debugMode",name="I_DEBUGMODE",direction=Direction.IN,type=Long.class)
public class TeamMembersDetails implements Serializable {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Id
     private long userId;
     private List<TeamMembersDetailsOT> teamMembersDetailsOT;
     public void setTeamMembersDetailsOT(List<TeamMembersDetailsOT> teamMembersDetailsOT) {
          this.teamMembersDetailsOT = teamMembersDetailsOT;
     public List<TeamMembersDetailsOT> getTeamMembersDetailsOT() {
          return teamMembersDetailsOT;
Procedure
PROCEDURE get_user_team_roles (
i_user_id IN ue_user.user_id%TYPE
, o_team_roles OUT OBJ_TEAM_ROLES_ARRAY
, i_debugmode IN NUMBER :=0)
AS
OBJ_TEAM_ROLES_ARRAY contains create or replace TYPE OBJ_TEAM_ROLES_ARRAY AS TABLE OF OBJ_TEAM_ROLES;
TeamMembersDetailsOT contains the same attributes defined in the OBJ_TEAM_ROLES.

A few things.
You are not using a JDBC Array type in your procedure, you are using a PLSQL TABLE type. An Array type would be a VARRAY in Oracle. EclipseLink supports both VARRAY and TABLE types, but TABLE types are more complex as Oracle JDBC does not support them, they must be wrapped in a corresponding VARRAY type. I assume your OBJ_TEAM_ROLES is also not an OBJECT TYPE but a PLSQL RECORD type, this has the same issue.
Your procedure does not return a result set, so "returnsResultSet=true" should be "returnsResultSet=false".
In general I would recommend you change your stored procedure to just return a select from a table using an OUT CURSOR, that is the easiest way to return data from an Oracle stored procedure.
If you must use the PLSQL types, then you will need to create wrapper VARRAY and OBJECT TYPEs. In EclipseLink you must use a PLSQLStoredProcedureCall to access these using the code API, there is not annotation support. Or you could create your own wrapper stored procedure that converts the PLSQL types to OBJECT TYPEs, and call the wrapper stored procedure.
To map to Oracle VARRAY and OBJECT TYPEs the JDBC Array and Struct types are used, these are supported using EclipseLink ObjectRelationalDataTypeDescriptor and mappings. These must be defined through the code API, as there is currently no annotation support.
I could not find any good examples or doc on this, your best source of example is the EclipseLink test cases in SVN,

Require help on Array of Nested tables and Oracle Object type

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I have some millions of records received from a flat file and the record is stored in Table as below:
Tablename: FILE_RECORD
Rows:
FILE_REG_ID = 1
RECORD_NBR = 1
PROCESSED_IND = U
RECORD= 00120130326006A
FILE_REG_ID = 1
RECORD_NBR = 2
PROCESSED_IND = U
RECORD= 00120130326003
1) I have to read these records at once and
a) Split the RECORD column to get various other data Eg: Fld1=001, Fld2=20130326, Fld3 = 003
b) send as an Array to Java.
2) Java will format this into XML and sent to other application.
3) The other application returns a response as Successful or Failure to Java in XML
4) Java will send RECORD_NBR and the corresponding response as Success or Failure back to PLSQL
5) PLSQL should match the RECORD_NBR and update the PROCESSED_IND = P.
I 'm able to achieve this using SQL Table type by creating a TYPE for Each of the fields (Flds) however the problem is Java cannot Access the parameters as the TYPE are of COLUMN Types
Eg: For RECORD_NBR
SUBTYPE t_record_nbr IS FILE_RECORD.T010_RECORD_NBR%TYPE;
Can you please let me know how I can achieve this to support Java, I know one way that is by creating an OBJECT TYPE and a TABLE of the OBJECT TYPE.
Eg: T_FILE_RECORD_REC IS OBJECT
FILE_REG_ID number(8), RECORD_NBR number (10), PROCESSED_IND varchar2(1), RECORD varchar(20)
Create type T_FILE_RECORD_TAB IS TABLE OF T_FILE_RECORD_REC
However I'm facing a problem to populate an Array of records, I know I'm missing something important. Hence please help.
It would be helpful to provide some guidelines and suggestions or Pseudo or a Code to achieve this. Rest all I can take up further.
Thanks in advance,

I know once way that is creating a OBJECT TYPE and a TABLE of OBJECT TYPE, howeve I feel I'm missing something to achieve this.You're right, you need SQL object types created at the database level. Java doesn't know about locally defined PL/SQL types
However you can do without all this by creating the XML directly in PL/SQL (steps 1+2) and passing the document to Java as XMLType or CLOB.
Are you processing the records one at a time?

How to create an array with Generic type?

Hi,
I need to create a typed array T[] from an object array Object[]. This is due to legacy code integration with older collections.
The method signature is simple:public static <T> T[] toTypedArray(Object[] objects)I tried using multiple implementations and go over them in the debugger. None of them create a typed collection as far as I can tell. The type is always Object[].
A simple implementation is just to cast the array and return, however this is not so safe.
What is interesting is that if I create ArrayList<String>, the debugger shows the type of the array in the list as String[].
If I create ArrayList<T>, the class contains Object[] and not T[].
I also triedT[] array = (T[]) Array.newInstance(T[].class.getComponentType(), objects.length);And a few other combinations. All work at runtime, create multiple compilation warnings, and none actually creates T[] array at runtime.
Maybe I am missing something, but Array.newInstace(...) is supposed to create a typed array, and I cannot see any clean way to pass Class<T> into it.T[].class.getComponentType()Returns something based on object and not on T, and T.class is not possible.
So is there anything really wrong here, or should I simply cast the array and live with the warnings?
Any help appreciated!

Ok. May be you could keep information about generic type in the your class:
public class Util {
    public static <T> T[] toTypedArray(Class<T> cls, Object[] objects){
        int size = objects.length;
        T[] t = (T[]) java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(cls, size);
        System.arraycopy(objects, 0, t, 0, size);
        return t;
public class Sample<T> {
    Class<T> cls;
    T[] array;
    public Sample(Class<T> cls) {
        this.cls = cls;
    public void setArray(Object[] objects){
        array = Util.toTypedArray(cls, objects);
    public T[] getArray(){
        return array;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Object[] objects = new Object[] { new LinkedList(), new ArrayList()};
        Sample<List> myClass = new Sample<List>(List.class);
        myClass.setArray(objects);
        for(List elem: myClass.getArray()){
            System.out.println(elem.getClass().getName());
}

Get database result as a type of complex object

Hi,
I would like to make a query and send the results with web service to the client by a user defined object type. I send the servis and client code below. My query works fine but I got all array elements of my object equal to null. I could not understand the reason.
Could you look and help me to solve it please?
Server Code:
import com.sun.rowset.CachedRowSetImpl;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class deneme3 {
public datayeni hesapla(datayeni don){
int counter = 0;
CachedRowSetImpl crs=null;
SQLInterface iface = new SQLInterface();
if (!iface.execQuery("SELECT isim, soyisim, email, " +
"kart FROM musteri"))
System.exit(1);
// create CachedRowSet and output data to object data
try
crs = new CachedRowSetImpl();
crs = iface.getRowSet();
     if(crs != null)
     while (crs.next())
     counter++;
     int j = 1;
     int i = 0;
     don.setisim(i,crs.getString(j++)) ;
     System.out.println (don.getisim(i));
     don.setsoyisim(i,crs.getString(j++)) ;
     System.out.println (don.getsoyisim(i));
     don.setemail(i,crs.getString(j++)) ;
     System.out.println (don.getemail(i));
     don.setkart(i,crs.getString(j++)) ;
     System.out.println (don.getkart(i));
     i++;
} catch (SQLException se) {
     return don;

public void setsoyisim (int index,String soyisim)
     this.soyisim[index] = soyisim;
public void setemail (int index,String email)
     this.email[index] = email;
public void setkart (int index,String kart)
     this.kart[index] = kart;
//getter methods
public String getisim(int index)
     return this.isim[index];
public String getsoyisim(int index)
     return this.soyisim[index];
public String getemail(int index)
     return this.email[index];
public String getkart(int index)
     return this.kart[index];
Thank You!!!

I really wonder, how ur code got compiled ...
Try removing this four lines from ur clinet side code:
String ad[]=new String[10];
String soyad[]=new String[10];
String eposta[]=new String[10];
String card[]=new String[10];Now
your all get methods return String...but u are assigning that string to
array of strings like :
ad = obje_return.getisim(i);
soyad = obje_return.getsoyisim(i);
eposta = obje_return.getemail(i);
card = obje_return.getkart(i);instead write it like this:
String ad = obje_return.getisim(i);
String soyad = obje_return.getsoyisim(i);
String eposta = obje_return.getemail(i);
String card = obje_return.getkart(i);If above thing doesnt work ....
I am very sure problem is not with webservice..its between jumbling of string/int and arrays of respective...
because when u define new array of objects(in ur case: array of Strings), all newborn strings are initlialized to null.

How to create required object types manually ?

Hi all,
I got this XML schema entry:
<xs:element name="Chapters"
minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="1"
xdb:SQLName="CHAPTERS"
          xdb:SQLType="XDB_CHAPTERS_TYPE">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Chapter"
          xdb:SQLName="CHAPTER"
xdb:SQLCollType="XDB_CHAPTERS_COLLECTION"
               minOccurs="1"
               maxOccurs="unbounded"
               xdb:SQLType="XDB_CHAPTER_DETAILS_TYPE">
     <xs:complexType>
          <xs:simpleContent>
          <xs:extension base="xs:string">
          <xs:attribute name="No"
                    type="xs:positiveInteger"
                    xdb:SQLName="NO"/>
          </xs:extension>
          </xs:simpleContent>
     </xs:complexType>
     </xs:element>
     </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
which results in this entry in a XML file:
<Chapters>
<Chapter No="12">The Longest Time</Chapter>
</Chapters>
Question: How do I have to create the corresponding object type, which is required for XML schema registration ?
Any help is appreciated...
Regards Markus

Hi Markus
I don't know why you want to manually creates the types... anyway since it can by quite complex to write all CREATE TYPE statement for a real schema... here my suggestion:
1) activate a tracing with the following statement
ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '31098 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER'
2) register the schema with GENTYPES=>TRUE
3) in a trace file under UDUMP you find all the statements executed, therefore the CREATE TYPE as well
4) use these statement as basis for your scripts
