How to get return code or parameters from PL/SQL in my shell script ?

My shell script must check the result of PL/SQL's running, and decide what to do in the next step.

I think you put the problem the wrong way.
You should try to do as much as possible through your SQL scripts, and, if you need to make OS calls, you may do that using host(command_string).
If you need to transfer parameters from other programs to your FORMS (PL/SQL), then you have to see user_exit.
Some other means would be to have your PL/SQL write to certain OS files that the shell script may read, but that doesn't seem like good practice to me.

How to get return code of compiling a package

Hi,
i want to compile a package and if it was not succesfull to write the error_message from "show errors" into a file.
thx
Wolle

the problem with compiling individual packages is that you might inadvertently invalidate others. you should also programmatically check package dependencies too so you dont break any accidentally.
if you're only compiling package bodies, this shouldn't be an issue, but if youre also compiling specs, this is something you should keep an eye on.
i wrote an application that uploads new packages i commit in cvs to our database and then recompiles them. it then reports whether or not compilation was successful. this helps eliminate alot of user error when people manually recompile packages in HA environments. however, i recompile the entire schema when i do this (this is not something run very often). i can get away with this at my shop because the schema is very small, but this might not be a practical solution for everyone.
this is how i check for dependencies:
FROM public_dependency pd, user_objects uo
WHERE referenced_object_id IN (select object_id from user_objects where object_name= UPPER(?))
AND uo.object_id = pd.object_id
this is useful for saving a snapshot of current package (in case of reversion):
SELECT TEXT FROM USER_SOURCE WHERE NAME = ?
this is how you can recompile the schema:
DBMS_UTILITY.COMPILE_SCHEMA(?, TRUE, TRUE);
i do a check for invalid objects in the schema before i even start (And exit with error if any are found) :
SELECT OBJECT_NAME, STATUS
FROM USER_OBJECTS
WHERE (OBJECT_TYPE='PACKAGE' OR OBJECT_TYPE='PACKAGE BODY')
AND STATUS <> 'VALID'
Hope this info helps.

How to get return value from Java runtime.getRuntime.exec?

I'm running shell commands from an Oracle db (11gr2) on aix.
But, I would like to get a return value from a shell comand... like you get with "echo $?"
I use a code like
CREATE OR REPLACE JAVA SOURCE NAMED common."Host" AS
import java.io.*;
public class Host {
public static int executeCommand(String command) {
    int retval=0;
    try {
        String[] finalCommand;

Hi,
Have your tried pr.exitValue() ?
I think you also need a finally block that destroys the subprocess

How to get the Portal Page name from PLSQL?

Can anyone tell me how to get the portal page name from my dynamic page using plsql?
Apparently you can get the page id and work it out from there, but my calls to get the page id are not returning any values anyway.
My code for attempting to get the page id is below.
<oracle>
declare
v_pageid varchar2(30);
begin
v_pageid := wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('_pageid', '/pls/portal30');
htp.print('Page is '|| v_pageid);
end;
</oracle>
Ideally I'd actually just like to get the page name. Is there a straightforward way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Sarah

Few clarifications -
1. wwpro_api_parameters cannot be used to get default portal
page parameters such as '_pageid', '_dad', '_schema' etc.,
2. Page information can be obtained through any components which
are available in that particular page. For example, in case of
dynamic page, we need to publish it as a portlet and add it to the
page. This process creates necessary packages in the DB, but we
will not have access to the portlet methods.
So, I would prefer creating a simple DB provider & portlet and access
page title from its show method as follows -
//Declare local variable l_page_id, l_page_title as varchar2
select page_id into l_page_id from wwpob_portlet_instance$ where
portlet_id = p_portlet_record.portlet_id and
provider_id = p_portlet_record.provider_id;
select name into l_page_title from wwpob_page$ where id=l_page_id;
More information on DB provider can be found at
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/articles/understanding.database.providers.html
Secondly, usage of wwpro_api_parameters.get_value method is
incorrect. This method expects two arguments -
<ul>
<li><b>p_name : </b> The name of the parameter to be returned.</li>
<li><b>p_reference_path : </b> An unique identifier for a portlet instance on the current page.</li>
</ul>
p_reference_path would be something like 99_SNOOP_PORTLET_76535103 and not some type of path as its name suggests.
The following code fragment fetches all parameters available
for a portlet.
Note : Copy this code into 'show' method of your portlet.
//Declare l_names, l_values as owa.vc_arr
* Retreive all of the names of parameters for this portlet
l_names := wwpro_api_parameters.get_names(
p_reference_path=>p_portlet_record.reference_path);
* Retreive all of the values of parameters for this portlet
l_values := wwpro_api_parameters.get_values(p_names=>l_names,
p_reference_path=>p_portlet_record.reference_path);
//Loop through these arrays to get parameter information
htp.p('<center><table BORDER COLS=2 WIDTH="90%" >');
htp.p('<tr ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>');
htp.tableData(wwui_api_portlet.portlet_heading('Name',1));
htp.tableData(wwui_api_portlet.portlet_heading('Value',1));
htp.tableRowClose;
if l_names.count = 0 then
htp.p('<tr ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>');
htp.p('<td COLSPAN="2">'
||wwui_api_portlet.portlet_text(
'No portlet parameters were passed on the URL.',1)
||'</td>');
htp.tableRowClose;
else
for i in 1..l_names.count loop
htp.p('<tr ALIGN=LEFT VALIGN=TOP>');
htp.tableData(l_names(i));
htp.tableData(l_values(i));
htp.tableRowClose;
end loop;
end if;
htp.p('</table></center>');
Hope it helps...

How to get password as string back from encrypted password byte array.

Hi All,
I am storing encrypted password and enc key in the database.(Code included encryptPassword method for encryption and validatePassword method for validating of password). Problem is that for some reason i need to show user's password to the user as a string as he/she entered. But i am not able to convert the encrypted password from D/B to original String.
Tell me if any body know how to get the string password back from the encrypted password byte array after seeing my existing encryption code.
//********* Code
private Vector encryptPassword(byte[] arrPwd)
try
// parameter arrPwd is the password as entered by the user and to be encrypted.
byte[] encPwd = null;

SecureRandom random = SecureRandom.getInstance("SHA1PRNG", "SUN");
keyGen.initialize(1024, random);
KeyPair pair = keyGen.generateKeyPair();
PrivateKey priv = pair.getPrivate();
PublicKey pub = pair.getPublic();
/* Create a Signature object and initialize it with the private key */
Signature dsa = Signature.getInstance("SHA1withDSA", "SUN");
dsa.initSign(priv);
/* Update and sign the data */
dsa.update(arrPwd, 0, 12);
/* Now that all the data to be signed has been read in, generate a signature for it */

Tell me if any body know how to get the string
password back from the encrypted password byte array
after seeing my existing encryption code.It is impossible to retrieve the original text out of a signature.
You should read up on some encryption basics in order to understand the difference between signing and encrypting. Then you can find examples of how to encrypt something here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/security/jce/JCERefGuide.html.
Actually there is one class specifically for keeping keys secure, KeyStore http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/security/KeyStore.html

Hi,
What is the status of those concurrent requests (Completed with Warning or with Error)?
1) Do we need to delete any temporary files from server related to printer.Usually, you do not need to delete any files manually, temp files will be created by the application, and there should no issues with the files permissions (unless you have some other instance running on the same node with different applmgr user). However, you can safely clean (.t and .tmp) files as per the following documents.
Note: 435437.1 - Most Common Solutions to FRM-41839 and .tmp Files Not Being Deleted
Note: 145487.1 - Files Types .t and .temp and .tmp, are Saving Under /var/tmp
Note: 162232.1 - Why Does Oracle Forms Create .TMP Files Which Fill Up The Filesystem e.g. /tmp ?
I would also suggest you search Metalink for APP-FND-00500 and you will get many hits, go through the documents and see if it helps.

Thanks in advance.
Before learning about LabVIEW, learn about images. An Image (in LabVIEW) is a "representation of an image", that is, the wire itself doesn't really have a "value", but "points to" a collection of data that can be "imaged" (i.e. looked at as through it were a picture), "manipulated" (for example, extracting a color plane, basically getting the "red channel", an image looking as through it were viewed through a red filter), and possibly returning arrays of numbers representing the intensity of the light at a certain position in the picture.

How to get the default selection color from JTable

Hi, there,
I have a question for how to get the default selection color from JTable. I am currently implementing the customized table cell renderer, but I do want to set the selection color in the table exactly the same of default table cell renderer. The JTable.getSelectionBackgroup() did not works for me, it returned dark blue which made the text in the table unreadable. Anyone know how to get the window's default selection color?
Thanks,
-Jenny

The windows default selection color is dark blue. Try selecting any text on this page. The difference is that the text gets changed to a white font so you can actually see the text.
If you don't like the default colors that Java uses then use the UIManager to change the defaults. The following program shows all the properties controlled by the UIManager:

Any of the properties can be changed for the entire application by using:
UIManager.put( "propertyName", value );

How to get InputStream of uploaded file from request?

The situation:
Client is uploading xml file to server.
<form METHOD=POST ENCTYPE = "multipart/form-data" action="SendFile" accept="text/xml">
<input type="file" name="SentFile" />
<input type="submit" value="go"/>
</form>Then I need to parse data from file.
I want to use method javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse(InputStream is)
But, how to get InputStream of uploaded file from request?

You cannot get the InputStream of the uploaded file directly. The InputStream you can obtain from request.getInputStream() contains a lot of other data as well as the uploaded file. You will have to parse the data in the InputStream to find the data that belongs to the file.
A short cut is to use the HTTP Multipart File Upload available from www.jenkov.com. It simplifies file upload and makes it easy to obtain an InputStream for only the uploaded file. It also handles upload of multiple files. It is free, open source, Apache license, so if it doesn't fit your needs, you can always read the code and see how it works. Then write your own upload servlet.

How do you return back one record from a NamingEnumeration

how do you return back one record from a For Loop issue
Posted: Jan 4, 2007 9:13 AM Reply
I have the following piece of code and i want to be able to just return one item...
that is return e.next(); but this line doesnt work for below what is wrong
if (attrs == null) {
System.out.println("No attributes");
} else {
/* Print each attribute */
for (NamingEnumeration ae = attrs.getAll();
ae.hasMore();) {
Attribute attr = (Attribute)ae.next();
System.out.println("attribute: " + attr);
/* print each value */
for (NamingEnumeration e = attr.getAll();
e.hasMore();){
System.out.println("value:- " + e.next()));
return e.next();
}

At the end of the loop, the NamingEnumeration has no more elements. You need to call getAll() again.
By the way, please use code tags (above the posting box). You've been here long enough to know that (judging by your registration date).

How to get names of method parameters ?

How to get names of method parameters (Not only their type and value) is it only possible during debugging ??
for example void myFunction(int a,int b)
I need the "a" , and the "b" The issiue is about the java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler ,
and its method invoke(Object proxy,
Method method,
Object[] args)
throws Throwable
I Have the parameter objects themself and their types using method.getParameters() , this is fine ,, but i need the names of the parameters !!!

If the class file was compiled without debug information included then it is impossible to get the original parameter names, as used in the source code.
However, If the class file does include debug information, then the method names are hidden deep within the class file. You'd need to parse the class file yourself. Check out a copy of the Java VM Specification for a detailed format of the java class file format.
It's not a trivial task to parse the java class file, and the VM spec isn't easy reading. You'd nearly be writing a class file disassembler.
