How to open external files in a Java stored procedure?

Hi y'all,
I'm trying to open an external text file from a Java stored procedure. The java sp has been successfully loaded, resolved, published, etc. in Oracle. I'm using the following statement to try to open the file (enclosed in a try/catch block):
BufferedReader fileObj = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("fileName.txt"));
I'm getting a file not found error. Where is Oracle looking (i.e., what directory)?
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Gary

Hi Gary,
you must use a "database directory", e.g:
SQL>create directory WORKING_DIR as '/home2/common/';
SQL> select * from all_directories;
OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME
DIRECTORY_PATH
SYS WORKING_DIR
/home2/common/

How to use signed classes/Jars in Java Stored Procedure?

I am using java encryption API in my java application that I want to deploy as java stored procedure. The API is kept in the signed jar files.
The Application is running in the MS-DOS environment but not in Oracle8i.
It gives me following error.

(Note: I have enabled the java output in SQL Plus editor otherwise it will give only the second part of error that starts from ERROR at line 1:)
please guide me how to solve this problem.

Salman,
If you do not get a reply on this forum, I recommend you post this question on the Oracle JVM discussion forum as well.
In addition, I would recommend checking the documentation for Oracle8i. The Oracle8i Java Developer's Guide, the Java Stored Procedures Guide, and the JDBC Developer's guide may have some information on this topic. You can get to this doc from the OTN Documentation page. Click on Oracle8i, then General Documentation, Release 2 (8.1.6), then scroll down to see the link for the Oracle8i Java Developer's documetation. All of the books mentioned above are available from that link.

ORA-29532 when trying to write to a file using a Java stored procedure

I have a Java stored procedure which gives me the following error when I run it:-
SQL> exec zipfile('c:\temp\test.txt');
BEGIN zipfile('c:\temp\test.txt'); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
java.security.AccessControlException: the Permission (java.io.FilePermission
c:\temp\test.txt.zip write) has not been granted to SCOTT. The PL/SQL to grant
this is dbms_java.grant_permission( 'SCOTT', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission',
'c:\temp\test.txt.zip', 'write' )
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.ZIPFILE", line 1
ORA-06512: at line 1
I have tried running the dbms_java command as recommended as sys and have performed the necessary commit afterwards, also I have ran dbms_java.grant_permission( 'SCOTT', 'java.io.FilePermission',
'*', 'write' )
But I still get the ORA-29532.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get around this ?

Are you getting ORA-29532 for the same file and the same permission ?

In other words, How to pass a Java Object from a Java stored procedure to a Java client ???
Hello,
I don't know to deal with a Vector object that has been generated from a stored procedure.
Should I create first in the JDBC client and pass it as argument to the procedure ?
Thanks in advance. Here is an extract ...
On the client side :
<<
Vector buffer = new Vector();
CallableStatement call =
con.prepareCall ("{call my_procedure_run (?, ?)}");
call.registerOutParameter(2, java.sql.Types.JAVA_OBJECT );
call.setString (1, "bla bla bla");
call.setObject (2, buffer);
call.execute ();
buffer = (Vector)call.getObject (2);
>On the Java stored procedure
<<
public class my_procedure
public static void Run(String input_value, Vector buffer)
// ??? Vector buffer = new Vector();
try
while ( true )
buffer.addElement(...) ;
catch(Exception ex) { }

How to output various file types from a stored procedure

Good morning, I would like to output to spreadsheet files like microsoft Excel, Lotus 123 or to a comma delimited text file from stored procedures. We run Oracle 8i and this report is accessed from an intranet site using stored procedures and the pl/sql web toolkit. The results would be more usefull in a spreadsheet format than web page(s). Can anyone give me a hint as to which process to follow to get the output. Thanks very much, Francois

Probably best to try the PL/SQL SQL forum:
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jsp?id=478021
Some quick and easy pointers:
* Take a look at the COM feature available from PL/SQL in 8i:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/win.920/a95499/toc.htm
* Just write the file out as comma delimited using UTL_FILE and give it a file name of .csv. Quick scan on google gives this example:

Loading jar files and calling java stored procedure

I am trying to load jai_core.jar, jai_codec.jar, mlibwrapper.jar and another class I created into my project schema. I am having problems with resolving all of the class using the "loadjava -resolve" command as well as using the "alter java class" command. The single class I authored is not in a valid state as well as the PL/SQL wrapper for the function I am calling.
My questions are:
1) Does the single class need to be in a valid state before the PL/SQL wrapper will compile and be in a valid state itself?
2) Are there any special tricks to this becuase the code I am using below doesn't seem to be working correctly?
3. Should I worry about "resolving/validating" all of the class from the jar file? I have read conflicting views on this topic.

We are using Oracle 9.2.0.8 and I have written the single class in 1.3.1.

I have found out that JAI is part of the Oracle 9 Release 2 but is part of the InterMedia package that is not installed. I would imagine that the JAI libraries mentioned above would be included in InterMedai. However, there are several dependencies on packages distributed in the Sun JDK but not the Oracle Runtime.

Open external files

I`ve been doing some research for a while, but haven`t found any solution for opening external files in my java app.
Short about my problem:
I`m giving users of the program the opportuninty to upload different kind of files. When a file is uploaded a label with the filename appears in the screen. When they click on the label I want my program to launch the correct program... Acrobat Reader for .PDF, Paint for jpg,gif.... aso.
I found something similar that launch the cmd.exe, but it isn`t a general solution that opens all kinds of files...
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=625707&messageID=3569795
As mentioned above I haven`t, so far, found a reliable solution for the problem, and I would have apprecated any kind of help.

Accessing files from Java Stored Procedures

I am trying to access a file from a Java Stored Procedure but get the exception: "no such file or directory". The path and filename as seen by the database JVM is "\\wgcaub01\a1500is\fabi\mmv\mmvtestdata.txt".
I have granted permissions to open the file using:
call dbms_java.grant_permission('MMV', 'java.io.FilePermission', '\\\\wgcaub01\\a1500is\\fabi\\mmv\\mmvtestdata.txt', 'read');
a) When I run the program as a Java class using a main method it works so the problem has to do with the Oracle JVM not finding the file.
b) The MMV user has permissions on the file after granting them using the above dbms_java.grant_permission command.
Can you tell me what am I missing? Is this a database configuration issue? Is there a problem with using a UNC path?
(I am using FileReader and BufferedReader.)

Vincent,
Not sure if this is the cause of your problem, but I had some Java code which read from/wrote to a file, and I needed to run the following (you can obviously change <<ALL FILES>> to something more restrictive):
declare
security_key number;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('DAN', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read,write,execute,delete', security_key);
dbms_java.grant_permission('DAN', 'java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', NULL, security_key);
dbms_java.grant_permission('DAN', 'java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', NULL, security_key);
end;
Note that the security_key won't be set if the grant didn't work.
Hope this helps,

Transactional file output from a Java Stored Procedure invoked by trigger.

I need to write information to a file from a Java Stored
Procedure which is called from an insert trigger. This works OK
except for the condition when a rollback is performed - the file
is updated anyway.
I need the Java Stored Procedure file output to be part of the
transaction - performed on commit and skipped on rollback. Is
there any way the Java Stored Procedure can be aware of the
state of the transaction?

i am Still facing the following problem:
if i pass a parameter like :
rm -f /test/menu.ksh
then the required output is that the menu.ksh file gets deleted.
but when i pass this command:
./test/menu.ksh
It is supposed to execute the specified script but it does not.
I have tried multiple things like giving chmod 777 rights to the following file and changing the command to /test/menu.ksh but nothing happens
Can you kindly tell me what can the problem be. Is there any execution rights issue: i am executing these scripts from pl sql developer.
You can find both the procedure and java method which is being called below
==========================================================================================
create or replace procedure TEST_DISPLAY(filename in varchar2, result out varchar2, error out varchar2) is

View Java Stored Procedures

Hello,
How can I find the names of Java stored procedures
created in the database and what are the published
stored procedures?
thanks
Ranganath Samudrala

Hi,
There are two meta catalogs "okJavaObj" and "okJavaMember" that can be used to get all sorts of information for Java classes and Java methods. Some SQL commands are as follows:
To see all Java classes stored in the database, type in the following select statement:
select "Schema", "Name" from "okJavaObj" ;
or you may want to create the following view:
drop public synonym all_javaobjects;
create or replace view all_javaobjects( Schema, Name, SuperClass, Type) as
(select "Schema", "Name", "SuperClass", "Type" from "okJavaObj");
grant select on all_javaobjects to public;
create public synonym all_javaobjects for system.all_javaobjects;
commit;
You may want to create the following view to see classnames and methods
drop public synonym all_methods;
create or replace view all_methods
(schema,classname, superclass, declaringclass, method_name, type, argcount, jnisignature) as
select a."Schema", a."Name" as ClassName, a."SuperClass",
b."DeclaringClass" , b."Name" as method_name , b."Type",
b."ArgCount", b."JNISign" as jnisignature
from "okJavaObj" a, "okJavaMember" b
where a.POL_REF = b."DefinedIn";
grant select on all_methods to public;
create public synonym all_methods for system.all_methods;
commit;

CLASSPATH configuration for jsp (java stored procedures)

Hi.
I have a very simple question for you people.
I don't know where to set up the CLASSPATH configuration on a HP-UX so that Aurora can see this include jar file and my java stored procedure can run correctly.
Thanks a lot.
Flavio Matiello

The way global variables could be created using java classes is by using static variables.The class variable values are stored in the JVM's memory
In Oracle8i Each session gets its own JVM & hence you cannot have a Java class variable which could
span across sessions.
Hope this helps

Open a file into a java app - HOW DO YOU DO IT!!

I have written an html/php editor - I want to set it up so that when you double click on a php file in windows it will open the file into my java ide.
I know this can be done - but how!!! There does not seem to be any info on the web about it - can anyone give me some pointers.
Thanks

Yeah - but the problem is: You can only set files to
open with a .exe file - if you go to the settings and
set the .php file to "open with" you have to select a
.exe file e.g. notepad.exe
However you can't create .exe files in java!!!! So how
do you do it?You have to spend $$$'s
However many /most converters don't work without the relevant updated JVM (but they are *.exe, kind of)
