External Java Class and Oracle Workflow 2.6.3

Hi,
There is a requirement wherein I have to call an external Java class to fetch a string value from an external source and use that in the Oracle Workflow Notifications.
After reading the Workflow documentation, I understand that Java classes can be called only for standalone version of the Workflow Builder (2.6.3). As the
requirement is for an e-business suite implementation (11.5.10), I was wondering if there is a way to acheive this. Can an external Java class be called from within
Oracle Workflow?
I would really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks,
Praveen

Hi,
If you write a wrapper to the java class in PL/SQL, then you can invoke that class from a PL/SQL activity conforming to the standard PL/SQL signature.

I want to call External Java class from the PL/SQL

Hi,
I am using Oracle Apps R11i (11.5.7), I wanted to call external Java class from the PL/SQL. This external Java class is residing in another application server.
How do I do this.
I know one way. Develop C routine in Oracle Apps to call external java class and call this C routine from the PL/SQL.
Is there any simple method available? or any other method?
Thanks in advance.

First of all, this is a Java application you're talking about, right (i.e. it has a main() function)? It's not just a class that you're trying to instantiate is it? If it's an application, you obviously have to start a new virtual machine to run it (rather than using the virtual machine built into the database like stored java). I'm a little leary of your mention of an "application server" as this would more commonly mean that a virtual machine is already over there running with access to this class. In which case, you'd typically interface with SOAP or some other RPC API.
All that aside, as long as you have physical disc access (through NFS or whatever) to the class file, you could use a java wrapper class with a system call to do this. In fact, there is a thread in just the last day or so on this very forum that has the code to do just that (see " Invoking OS Commands from PL/SQL"). However, it's worth noting that the virtual machine will be running on the database server in this case and not the application server.

I want to access that BEA instance variable inside of a external java class

Hi,
This is N.pradeep. I am a java programmer, and I am new to BEA AquaLogic BPM studio5.7. I have a question regarding how to retrieve an instance variable of BEA Aqua Logic to an external Java Program. i.e. I want to access that BEA instance variable inside of a external java class, and vice versa.

You can use PAPI or PAPI-WS for accessing BPM instance variable from a Java code, thougt I am not sure how the reverse will be done. Assuming that you are aware aof PAPI-WS and have created the necessary stubs out of the PAPI-WS WSDL using Axis, you can access instance variables using the API's or operations defined therein.

Run a java class in Oracle db to connect to Sybase

Hi All, I'm looking for a way to connect to Sybase database at no-license-cost (meaning Oracle Gateway or similar 3rd party products), first coming idea was JDBC, I know I can run a java class in Oracle, the simple idea is to write a java class which connects to Sybase via JDBC thin driver and return the resultset of given query in a java class, the resultset will be presented in Oracle Apex framework. Does anyone know if this can be done or not, and how? Any howto articles are welcomed.
Henry

Henry:
To connect to Sysbase or MsSQL Server you could use jTDS open source driver.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtds/
upload above driver (jar file) using loadjava, and grants the port connection using dbms_java.grant_permission procedure.
Because jTDS is pure java driver (mode 4) is possible to use directly inside the RDBMS.
Best regards, Marcelo.
PD: Latest jtds driver is compiled against 1.6 sources, but oldest version will work with 1.5 for 11g.

PHP and Oracle Workflow

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to use PHP and Oracle Workflow together? I means use PHP to generate user-interface and PHP-OCI8 API to call WFEngine PL/SQL code?

All of the public documented Workflow Engine PL/SQL APIs and Java APIs enable customers to build their own screens based on workflow, such as building your own specialized worklist.

Java class in oracle forms

Hello experts,
I am new in oracle forms.I am using oracle forms 11g with weblogic 10.3.5 at windows 7.Someone please clear me that the injection of java programing in oracle forms is through BEANS item only or I can use it(java class) as a part of my oracle forms.I mean I have a Java class.Could I use this java class inside my oracle forms without using Beans Item.
Thank You
regards
aaaditya

In forms you can use java in two different ways
1. On the client-side. Using java-beans you can extend the client-functionality of forms. The code will run on the client-computer in the context of the applet.
2. On the server-side. Using the java-importer you can build a PL/SQL-wrapper around a java-class and so use the java-code in your forms-PL/SQL
What is your reuqirement?

Calling PL/SQL function from external Java class

I was wondering if I was able to call a pl/sql function from an external java class? If so, would you be able to tell me briefly on how to go about it. I know I can call java methods that are internally stored in the db from pl/sql, but I was hoping I could call pl/sql from external java. Thanks,
Kelly

Ok, I made the changes, but I'm now getting the following error:
Error code = 1403
Error message = ORA-01403: no data found
ORA-06512: at "IOBOARD.GETSTATUS", line 6
ORA-06512: at line 1
The ora-01403 I don't understand because there is data for the name Kelly.Brace.
ora-06512 error: at string line string.
Here's what the code looks like after I made the changes:
String sql = "{?=call ioboard.GetStatus(?)}";
      // create a Statement object
      myStatement = myConnection.prepareCall( sql );
      myStatement.setString( 1, "Kelly.Brace" );
      myStatement.registerOutParameter(2, java.sql.Types.LONGVARCHAR );
      // create a ResultSet object, and populate it with the
      // result of a SELECT statement
      ResultSet myResultSet = myStatement.executeQuery();
      // retrieve the row from the ResultSet using the
      // next() method
      myResultSet.next();
      // retrieve the user from the row in the ResultSet using the
      // getString() method
      String status = myResultSet.getString(1);
      System.out.println("Hello Kelly, your status is: " + status);
      // close this ResultSet object using the close() method
      myResultSet.close();Here's what the function looks like:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GetStatus( user_name in varchar2)
RETURN VARCHAR2
is
v_status varchar2(10);
BEGIN
select iob_location into v_status
from ioboard.iob_user
where iob_username = user_name;
RETURN( v_status);
END;This works perfectly in the SQL Window:
select iob_location
from ioboard.iob_user
where iob_username = 'Kelly.Brace';

Pass table rowtype between java class and PL/SQL package

I am a complete newbie when it comes to java itself but I've been asked to investigate the possibility of passing a rowtype datatype from a PL/SQL package to a java class and vice versa.
I have heard of oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor as an option but this appears to address only SQL types that are defined outside of a package.
I'm talking about using, say, SCOTT.EMP%rowtype instead of a user-defined type. I'm thinking that a java array could be defined from the definition of a table in the database but I don't know what class would be appropriate.
Could someone provide a simple proof-of-concept example that shows how you could use a java array to pass data to a package that is expecting a table rowtype variable and conversely a java class that reads the rowtype returned into a java array?
Would oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDatabaseMetaData be a way of doing this?
Thanks!

Kuassi:
 
Not at all. I didn't feel like you misled me at all. I'm grateful for your help. I think that maybe I failed to describe my problem adequately in the first place.
 
Perhaps I've also gotten stuck on the term ref cursor.
 At any rate, the people I'm gathering information for have further refined their requirement. We want to take a collection of data and send it to a procedure. It doesn't have to be a "ref cursor" or "%rowtype" per se, but something that is maintainable and workable from both ends.
 
For example, to use the old SCOTT/TIGER paradigm, let's suppose we have a website where you can indicate which employees work for a given department. The website allows us to fill in information for multiple employees at once. We want to use a servlet that gathers all the employees data and sends it on through to a PL/SQL package so that the data is validated and committed in the database. 
Perhaps the java servlet should handle the multiple employee records as an array? If so, how can a PL/SQL procedure be made to recognize that construct? 
I can accept that java cannot create a "ref cursor" type to send information to a package, but might this be possible via some other implementation?
 
Hopefully this is a little more clear. If not, please let me know and I'll try to inject more details as to what we are trying to accomplish.
 
Once again, thanks for your persistent replies and help.

Problem with Java 5 and Oracle 10g JDBC driver

Hi All,
Currently we upgrade our web application to Java 5 and Oracle 10.2 JDBC driver. And we encountered a bug, when the user entered the information through UI and data didn't store into database (Oracle 9i). The problem is that this bug is not happend so often maybe once a day and this did not happen before we upgraded to Java 5 and Oracle 10.2 JDBC driver. Does anyone encounter the same problem ? Is this Java 5 problem or Oracle JDBC driver problem ?
Thanks,

sounds like a database problem...
Are you using a driver version that's supported for your database engine?
What else did you change? We once ran into a major bug in our application that had for 5 years been masked by performance problems in our hardware and infrastructure.
Once those were resolved the bug showed itself and caused tens of thousands of records to be erroneously inserted into our database every day.
It's certainly NOT a problem with your JVM (if it's a decent one, like the Sun implementation).
So it's either your database, your driver, your network (dropping packets???), or your application.
The upgrade may just have exposed something that was already there.

Using java class and variables declared in java file in jsp

hi everyone
i m trying to seperate business logic form web layer. i don't know i am doing in a right way or not.
i wanted to access my own java class and its variables in jsp.
for this i created java file like this
package ris;
import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class NewClass{
 public static void main(String args[]){
 Connection con = null;
 ResultSet rs=null;
 Statement smt=null;
 try{
 Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
 con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///net","root", "anthony111");
 smt=con.createStatement();
 rs= smt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM emp");
 while(rs.next()){
 String str = rs.getString("Name");
 }catch( Exception e){
 String msg="Exception:"+e.getMessage();
 }finally {
 try {
 if(con != null)
 con.close();
 } catch(SQLException e) {}
}next i created a jsp where i want to access String str defined in java class above.

Very bad approach
1) Think if your table contains more than one NAMEs then you will get only the last one with your code.
2) Your String is declared as local variable in the method.
3) You have not created any object of NewClass nor called the method in JSP page. Then who will call the method to run sql?
4) Your NewClass contains main method which will not work in web application, it's not standalone desktop application so remove main.
Better create an ArrayList and then call the method of NewClass and then store the data into ArrayList and return the ArrayList.
It should look like
{code:java}
package ris;
import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class NewClass{
 public static ArrayList getNames(){
 Connection con = null;
 ResultSet rs=null;
 Statement smt=null;
 ArrayList nameList = new ArrayList();
 try{
 Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
 con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:///net","root", "anthony111");
 smt=con.createStatement();
 rs= smt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM emp");
 while(rs.next()){
 nameList.add(rs.getString("Name"));
 return nameList;
 }catch( Exception e){
 String msg="Exception:"+e.getMessage();
 </code><code class="jive-code jive-java">return nameList;</code><code class="jive-code jive-java">
 }finally {
 try {
 if(con != null)
 con.close();
 } catch(SQLException e) {}
 </code><code>return nameList;</code>
<code class="jive-code jive-java"> }

Java classes and MySql Files

Hello,
There is a way to distribute the Mysql db files with yout java application without need to install Mysql in the computer, like in access, you just copy the .mdb file with your java class and create a conection to it.
Thank You

No. If you want to do that you should just use Access. mySQL files will not work without the mySQL server.

Difference b/w Java Class and Bean class

hi,
can anybody please tell me the clear difference between ordinary java class and java Bean class. i know that bean is also a java class but i donno the exact difference between the both.
can anybody please do help me in understanding the concept behind the bean class.
Thank u in advance.

While researching this question, I came across this answer by Kim Fowler. I think it explains it better than any other answer I have seen in the forum.
Many thanks Kim
Hi
Luckily in the java world the definition of components is a little
less severe than when using COM (I also have, and still occasionaly
do, worked in the COM world)
Firstly there are two definitions that need to be clarified and
separated: JavaBean and EnterpriseJavaBean (EJB)
EJB are the high end, enterprise level, support for distributed
component architectures. They are roughly equivalent to the use of MTS
components in the COM/ COM+ world. They can only run within an EJB
server and provide support, via the server, for functionality such as
object pooling, scalability, security, transactions etc. In order to
hook into this ability EJB have sets of interfaces that they are
required to support
JavaBeans are standard Java Classes that follow a set of rules:
a) Hava a public, no argument constructor
b) follow a naming patterns such that all accessor and modifier
functions begin with set/ get or is, e.g.
public void setAge( int x)
public int getAge()
The system can then use a mechanism known as 'reflection/
introspection' to determine the properties of a JavaBean, literally
interacting with the class file to find its method and constructor
signatures, in the example above the JavaBean would end with a single
property named 'age' and of type 'int' The system simply drops the
'set' 'get' or 'is' prefix, switches the first letter to lower case
and deduces the property type via the method definition.
Event support is handled in a similar manner, the system looks for
methods similar to
addFredListener(...)
addXXXListener
means the JavaBean supports Fred and XXX events, this information is
particularly useful for Visual builder tools
In addition there is the abiliity to define a "BeanInfo' class that
explicitly defines the above information giving the capability to hide
methods, change names etc. this can also be used in the case where you
cannot, for one reason or another, use the naming patterns.
Finally the JavaBean can optionally - though usually does - support
the Serializable interface to allow persistence of state.
As well as standard application programming, JavaBeans are regularly
used in the interaction between Servlets and JSP giving the java
developer the ability to ceate ojbect using standard java whilst the
JSP developer can potentially use JSP markup tags to interact in a
more property based mechanism. EJB are heaviliy used in Enterprise
application to allow the robust distribution of process
