GetProcedureColumns and package names

Hi,
I am trying to get the types of the stored procedure parameters using DatabaseMetaData.getProcedureColumns()
However the procedure for which I am interested in getting the parameter types is inside a package.
DatabaseMetaData.getProcedureColumns() returns only details of those procedures that are stand alone and not part of any package.
My question is how do I invoke DatabaseMetaData.getProcedureColumns() so that it returns details of those stored procedures that are part of a oracle package ???
Thanks a million.
-ST

anyone figure this one out ??
i want to get all the procedure or function under all the packages as well.

Testing class and package name legality

Hi all. Does the API provide a way of testing if a given class and package name is correct? I have to model a UML diagram tool. Right now, I'm doing it like this:
     public boolean canHaveAsNameStrict(String name){
          return(!name.startsWith("([0-9])+") && name.matches("([a-zA-Z_0-9])+"));
     }for a package, but this may be incmoplete etc. Also, are the brackets ([...]) and the + sign delimeters or part of the match? (I copied this code from an exercise solution, in which they were not mandatory to the solution)

Beware - the JLS allows non-ASCII class and package names. You can have a class named "�owyn", for instance.
class CheckPackage {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String pat = "([A-Za-z_$][A-Za-z0-9_$]*\\.)*[A-Za-z_$][A-Za-z0-9_$]*";
        System.out.println (args[0].matches (pat));
}

Class name and package name clashing

When i have a class and a package with the same name, I cannot access classes in the package. For example I have 3 classes and 1 package as below
- Test.java
- PackageName.java
+ PackageName // this is a directory
- MyClass.java
Below are the codes of .java files
Test.java
=======
public class Test { PackageName.MyClass a = new PackageName.MyClass ();}
PackageName.java
===============
public class PackageName{ }
MyClass.java
==========
package PackageName; public class MyClass { }
I can compile PackageName.java and MyClass.java but not Test.java. It says
cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class MyClass
location: class PackageName
PackageName.MyClass a = new PackageName.MyClass ();
But if I remove the PackageName.java, I can compile Test.java perfectly. I think when I use PackageName.MyClass, java thinks that I try to access an inner class MyClass of PackageName class, and that does not exists. Is there any way to solve this ambiguation, other than making the package name and class name different? Thank you very much.

This works fine: just add an import to Test.java.
import PackageName.MyClass;
public class Test
    public static void main(String [] args)
        MyClass a = new MyClass();
public class PackageName {}
package PackageName;
public class MyClass {}It's a pretty wacky, useless example, but it works.
Plus I thought inner classes would have a dollar sign in their .class file names. When I compile this:
public class OuterClass
    public static void main(String [] args)
        OuterClass outer = new OuterClass();
        System.out.println(outer);
    public String toString() { return "I'm an OuterClass"; }
    class InnerClass
        public String toString() { return "I'm an InnerClass"; }
}I see two .class files: OuterClass.class and OuterClass$InnerClass.class
Why make up examples like this? It's hard enough writing code, and it's easy to disambiguate for the compiler.

Bug: "WEB-INF", "web-inf" and package names

I'm using JSPs with Struts, and as recommended in the Struts Toystore Example all of my JSPs are below the WEB-INF directory. If I compile my JSPs I get the following warnings (hundreds of them):
Warning: package name web2d_inf._jsp._gui._documents._document does not match source file name W:\root\output\Gui\View\classes\.jsps\_WEB_2d_INF\_jsp\_gui\_documents\_document\_Preview.java
How can I get rid of this warnings, without disabling warnings completely? I'm using JDeveloper 9.0.3.2
Thanks

Hello;
It looks like this bug may pop back up?
I am using 10g Pre on LINUX and get the error:
Project:/home/a/jdevhome/mywork/ir2/ViewController/ViewController.jpr
/home/a/jdevhome/mywork/ir2/ViewController/public_html/WEB-INF/untitled1.jsp
Error:/home/a/jdevhome/mywork/ir2/ViewController/public_html/web-inf/untitled1.jsp (No such file or directory)
It looks like web-inf is getting set to lower case somewhere.
I know Linux is not the release for the 10g pre, this is just in case the bug is going to 'pop' up again in the final version
Thanks

Class and package names

I'm novice in Java, but not novice in programming. So, it is not a problem to understand and to write simple samples, but it is still hard to create a good package structure and give good names for classes.
For example now, I started writing simple standalone application, which will be run by cron and will communicate with 2 webservices. I will receive data(reports) from one webservice, and will send this data to another one. From the very beggining, I have a poblem about structure of roject and naming. Is it ok, to make only one class, with name for example ReportApp? Or better create one class for communicating with first service, another - with second, and main class will call methods of this classes? Also package name... I think it is good, when from package you see, that i is service, or xml.util etc. How can I show in package name that it is batch standalone application? Can somebody explain what names for classes and packages he'll use for such task, please.

Descriptive names are nice....
For packages, a standard method is a domain name for your company or organization:
com.widgetsRus.service.
com.widgetsRus.ui.
com.widgetsRus.util.
As for class names, just descripe what the class is for. ReportServer, ReportClient, Report (interface), AbstractReport (implements Report), StatusReport (extends AbstractReport), etc...
As for creating a class for this and that, or separate classes, that's a design issue, but typically, it's easier to maintain things if they are kept in smaller classes with related functionality.

Installed Extensions and Package names

I've read through reams of documentation about installed extensions and have experimented with putting jars into %JRE%/lib/ext, etc. My question is - is it possible to put jars that contain classes with system package (java.*) names and use them?
This might sound like a strange thing to want to do, but I've been experimenting with the Long Term Persistence mechanism (http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/persistence2/) which comes as a jar with classes of the package 'java.beans'. To use this from the command line I have been using the -Xbootclasspath option to include the jar. However, I want to deploy my app through Java Web Start and cannot (as far as I know) use that as a JVM option.
My last hope is that I can install these jars as extensions on the client and see if I can pick up the classes there. Is this a security violation though - using system package names for extensions?
Cheers
AlanB
P.S. I could use JDK1.4 which has the persistence mechanism as standard but the app server I'm using has 'mucho grande' problems with clients using 1.4!

My last hope is that I can install these jars as
extensions on the client and see if I can pick up the
classes there. Is this a security violation though -
using system package names for extensions?Unfortunately, I do believe this is the case... the only classloader that is permitted to load java.* packages is the bootstrap loader.
There is one way to know for sure, though... ;-)

Conflit in class name and package name

I have a small doubt. If the class name and the package name are the same in a folder, is there will be any conflict between these while using it. That means suppose a folder named 'animator' contain a package 'a' and a class name 'a'. I got any error in the 'Eclipse' tool that "a collides with a package". Is this can be solved my any change of setting in Eclipse? If then where can i change.? Can anybody help me to solve this issue??

This works fine: just add an import to Test.java.
import PackageName.MyClass;
public class Test
    public static void main(String [] args)
        MyClass a = new MyClass();
public class PackageName {}
package PackageName;
public class MyClass {}It's a pretty wacky, useless example, but it works.
Plus I thought inner classes would have a dollar sign in their .class file names. When I compile this:
public class OuterClass
    public static void main(String [] args)
        OuterClass outer = new OuterClass();
        System.out.println(outer);
    public String toString() { return "I'm an OuterClass"; }
    class InnerClass
        public String toString() { return "I'm an InnerClass"; }
}I see two .class files: OuterClass.class and OuterClass$InnerClass.class

Class name and package names

I read a passage from some Java Book (sorry don't have the reference handy) that
"It is illegal for a package and a class to have the same name, so there can be no ambiguity."
Yet I have created a class named pkgclass within a package with the very same name.
i.e.
package pkgclass;
public class pkgclass {
This compiles just fine. Have I misinterpreted the statement from the book? What is it trying to say?
Thanks in advance.

Here's a quote from the Java language spec:
"The hierarchical naming structure for packages is intended to be convenient for organizing related packages in a conventional manner, but has no significance in itself other than the prohibition against a package having a subpackage with the same simple name as a top level type (�7.6) declared in that package."
So your book was not quite correct, or maybe you just misremembered it (clearly you are typing from memory there). It isn't illegal for a package to have the same name as a class, as in your example. But it is illegal for a package to contain a subpackage and a class with the same name.

Need Hex Encoder Class and Package Name

Hi,
I have a requirement in which I need to convert an xml (input) into a Hex format (output). I know that there is a class called as BASE64Encoder when you want to encode a data into base64Binary format and this one is present in the sun.misc.BASE64Encoder package. Now my question is do we have some class called as HexEncoder included under some standard package (like sun.misc.HexEncoder)?
Please provide pointers on how to solve this.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

How does he know ? (pacman and package names)

i take a package from pacman cache on box 1
i rename it from say xorg-1.4.0.pkg.tar.gz to xorg14-1.4.0.pkg.tar.gz
i pacman -U it on box 2
pacman on box 2 : upgrading xorg ###############33
how does he know its xorg and not xorg14 ? (there seem to be only the actual files of the application inside)
how do i rename the package so that pacman really understands its xorg14 and not xorg ?

several reasons
i hate ignorepkgs (and the trouble they can make if some dependency escapes out of what you ignorepkg'd)
i have multiple (varying between 5 - 9) boxes that run arch + 3 family / friends boxes with arch that i am the support guy for. when a bad or unexpected update was out (dhcpcd kde4 xorg lib/include/asm etc) it was bad for most or all of the boxes - so i want a solution for all at once
i install from scratch a lot (i naturally have skill of breaking my system to irrecoverable state and with the recent updates of arch its even more cause i swap hard drives). i prefer to have a custom mirror on my usb flash drive
i want to be able to give this mirror easily to others too - like that guy that made the kde 3 mirror

How to Get Package Name While Running

Hi
i want to load Package Name to Table.
So any idea about ODI Ref Function to get Package Name.

Hi Nagarjuna,
You can get package name by doing following steps, as per my knowledge, scenario name and package name both are same in ODI (while creating scenario for package).
by the time you can retrieve scenario name as package name using below select query with selecting Work Repository schema in ODI variable
QUERY:
select SESS_NAME
from <%=snpRef.getObjectName("L","SNP_SESSION","D")%>
where SESS_NO = <%=snpRef.getSession("SESS_NO")%>
Steps:
1) create a project variable as Get_Package_Name and Data type as Alphanumeric, in Refreshing tab, type above select query and select work repository schema in schema (eg: create WorkRep logical schema in topology manager)
2) Add Get_Package_Name variable with refresh in package (before interface step)
3) Generate Scenario for package with same package name with version 001
When you execute the scenario you can retrieve the package name in Get_Package_Name odi variaable
Hope this may helps you

How to find proc/func name from package name and line number?

Hi,
We are using the pl/sql call stack dump (dbms_utility.format_call_stack) for some debugging purposes. But in the case of a package body execution, the dump does not return the name of the procedure/function that is being executed, but only the name of the package and the line number being executed. So, we have a requirement wherein we need to extract the type and name of a package subunit from the package name and line number.
e.g.
From the information package 'A', line number 739
we should be able to deduce that line 739 is a part of *'function A.f'*
Does the oracle database provide any native mechanism (PL/SQL packages or otherwise) to support such functionality? If it does not, how can we achieve the desired result?
Thanks in advance,
Shashank

The approach we are currently planning to take up is this :
1. Write PL/SQL code to parse the entire source (user_source) and build a database table with a structure like this :
PACKAGE_NAME | UNIT_TYPE | UNIT_NAME | START_LINE | END_LINE
=============================================
A | PROCEDURE | P1 | 20 | 345
A | FUNCTION | F1 | 347 | 629
etc..
2. Start PL/SQL package execution.
3. Keep dumping call stack snapshots whenever a custom debug procedure is called.
4. Dump the package name and line number to a log file.
5. Using the package name and line number, query the table built in step 1 and build the final report which shows the control flow in a readable form.
What we want is to get rid of step 5 and by some means get the logic to extract the unit type and name in step 4 itself.
Keep them coming..
Thanks and regards,
Shashank

Extracting package and procedure name in code

In my exception processing I need to log the package and procedure name that got the exception. How do I obtain these two names without manually coding the names?
Thanks in anticipiation

A better option is to get the package name and the line numberA still better option is to utilize pl/scope (when you are in 11g (not sure about 10g)):
SQL> alter session set plscope_settings='identifiers:all'
Session altered.
SQL> set serverout on
SQL> create or replace package pkg
as
   procedure p1;
   procedure p2;
end pkg;
Package created.
SQL> create or replace package body pkg
as
   procedure get_scope (obj varchar2, line int)
   as
   begin
      for c in (select rpad (lpad (' ', 2 * (level - 1)) || name, 20, '.') || ' ' || rpad (type, 20) || rpad (usage, 20) identifier_usage_contexts
                from user_identifiers t
                where level != 1
                start with line = get_scope.line and object_name = obj
                connect by usage_id = prior usage_context_id)
      loop
         dbms_output.put_line (c.identifier_usage_contexts);
      end loop;
   end get_scope;
   procedure p1
   as
   begin
      null;
   end p1;
   procedure p2
   as
   begin
      get_scope ($$plsql_unit, $$plsql_line);
   end p2;
end pkg;
Package body created.
SQL> exec pkg.p2
P2................ PROCEDURE           DEFINITION
    PKG............. PACKAGE             DEFINITION
    PKG............. PACKAGE             DECLARATION
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

How to know database name and schema name by providing package name?

Hi,
Could someonw will help me to get database name and schema name by providing package name ?
I have used the query : select * from all_objects where object_name='Package_name'; but it simply returns schema name where as i need DB name and username.
--Prajakta

but it simply returns schema name where as i need DB name and username.
i want to retrive the DB name for package name
Based on your questions, I wonder if you are used to working in SQL Server? (The server, database, and schema are part of the 4-part name of an object, independent of any user.)
In SQL Server, schema and username are two separate physical concepts. "Schema" is purely logical in Oracle: a user which owns objects is often called a "schema".
In Oracle, "database" is roughly equivalent to the SQL Server concept "server" (what you log in to). It is not part of the naming path to a specific object (unless there is a database link involved, but there is no indication that's what you have here). In Oracle you connect to an Instance (or Service) and people often call this the "database", but there is a fine semantic distinction there (separate topic).
Once connected in Oracle, you fully-qualify an object by only a 2-part owner and object name (possibly 3-part if a database link is involved user.object@link).
12c added another wrinkle to all of this, but I'll assume this question was more basic than that, because you likely would have mentioned if this was a 12c question.
