Java Stored Procedure calling HTTP Servlet in Weblogic

Question

I am currently working on an e-commerce application for a brick-n-mortar electronics store. The store currently has an Oracle database that contains all of the products the store sells. The e-commerce site will have a separate Oracle database. Both database are Oracle 9i release 2 databases. The e-commerce site will be using BEA's Weblogic as its application server. I need to move data from the store db into the e-commerce db. The actual moving of the data is not the issue. The issue comes from needing to call several methods on a Stateless Session EJB, loaded on the Weblogic server, to perform backend processing. I wanted to make a JNDI call from a Java Stored Procedure but with Release 2, this option is no longer supported. The release notes (http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/htdocs/9idb2_java.html) indicated that the JVM now supports calling out to Servlets using HTTP Client from a Java Stored Procedure.
Has anyone done this? Is there any sample code available?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for any help. Hi,
sorry we have not yet formally documented this but here is a code snippet

/* HttpCallout - simple test to callout to static pages from Java Stored
Procedures */
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import HTTPClient.HTTPConnection;
import HTTPClient.HTTPResponse;
import HTTPClient.AuthorizationInfo;
public class HttpCallout {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws InterruptedException {
HttpCallout t = new HttpCallout(argv);
t.run();
private String[] argv ;
HttpCallout(String[] argv) {
this.argv = argv;
void initSSL() {
public void run() {
try {
if ( argv.length == 0 ) {
System.out.println("HttpCallout " +
"protocol " +
"host " +
"port " +
"page ");
return;
// process arguments
int argc = 0;
String protocol = argv[argc++];
String host = argv[argc++];
int port = Integer.parseInt(argv[argc++]);
String page = argv[argc++];
// Debugging - don't set for now
// System.setProperty("HTTPClient.log.mask", "3");
// noop
initSSL();
// Grab HTTPConnection
HTTPConnection con = new HTTPConnection(protocol, host, port);
con.setTimeout(20000);
con.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
// Grab Response
HTTPResponse rsp = con.Get(page);
byte[] data = rsp.getData();
if ( data == null ) {
System.out.println("no data");
} else {
System.out.println("data length " + data.length);
System.out.println(new String(data));
catch ( Throwable ex ) {
ex.printStackTrace();
