JAX-RPC and non-primitive data types

Hello all!
I am using JWSDP v1.3 and i have a problem using non-primitive data types as return types for my operations.
Consider the helloservice example of the JWSDP1.3 tutorial. Now suppose that instead of having the simple operation sayHello() that returns a String, we execute a query on a database, get some ResultSetMetaData and we want these Metadata to be the return type of our operation. I.e. have the operation
public ResultSetMetaData sayHello()
instead of the
public String sayHello()
of the tutorial.
When trying to build the service i get the following error which is normal, because ResultSetMetaData is not a supported JAX-RPC type.
run-wscompile: [echo] Running wscompile: [echo] C:\jwsdp\apache-ant\../jaxrpc/bin/wscompile.bat -define -d build - nd build -classpath build config-interface.xml -model build/model. gz [exec] error: invalid type for JAX-RPC structure: java.sql.ResultSetMetaData [exec] Result: 1
Is there any way to define an operation like this? Can i specify somehow ResultSetMetaData as a supported-type?
I hope someone can give me some advice on it, because i have lost one evening trying to figure it out myself :)
Regards,
Kostas

Primitive v/s Non-primitive data type

Hi,
I am new to java. What is the difference between primitive and non-primitive data type?

hi Anand,
there are hundred thousands of object in the Data Dictionary, so 15 won't harm much On the other hand, if you build up an ALV list based on this table, than it is good that you have these texts there with translations, etc.
hope this helps

JAX-RPC And Non-Java Web Service

Hi,
This is a total shot in the dark. I'm attempting to consume an RPC web service developed in Delphi. I've created a JAX-RPC client in NetBeans from the published WSDL, attached below. I've created calls to several of the procedures available. What's bizarre, at least to me, is that half of them work fine and half of them don't. In all cases where they don't I'm getting a returns SOAP envelope indicated an access violation, attached below. There are no errors in any of the server logs and the developer assures me that the procedures do, in fact, work from his client (also developed conveniently enough in Delphi).
I'm willing to take him at face value for the moment and assume that the problem is in my client implementation, although I have no idea where it would lie. The only difference I've been able to gather between the features which work and those that don't is the size of the return package...it would most likely be much larger than the ones that don't work.
The service is an ISAPI dll running under IIS on Windows Server 2003. Any clues or guidance anyone would be willing to provide would be most welcome. On to the files:
There wasn't enough room to post the entire thing so I've included one working (CheckStock) and non-working (GetLibTrace) function.

Correction from above...".it would most likely be much larger than the ones that don't work" should have been "it would most likely be much larger IN THE ONES THAT DON'T WORK". Sorry.

JAX-RPC 9.0.4 --- Data Types Supported

Hi,
does any body know is java.util.List is a supported Datatype on OC4j 9.0.4.2 for JAX-RPC.
Cheers
Gaurav

Gaurav,
Not sure which version of JAX-RPC you are intended to run on top of 9.0.4.2 ?
In any way, if you want your service to work with the majority of the clients, you need to focus on the XML types; not the java types.
To my knowledge, the List will be mapped to a proprietary type, at best, which make it harder to re-use.
All the best,
Eric

Runtime conversion of a string value to a primitive data type in java

can anyone of you give me an idea to convert a string value to a primitive data type during run time...i have the value and the type to which it has to be converted as String values...do you have any idea ,...pls share

String recvalvalue = inputval;
                String recvartype = inputtype;
               if (recvartype.equals("int")){
               value0 = Integer.parseInt(recvalvalue);
         else
         if (recvartype.equals("double")){
                value1 = Double.parseDouble(recvalvalue);
         else
         if(recvartype.equals("float")){
          value2 = Float.parseFloat(recvalvalue);
         else
         if(recvartype.equals("Boolean")){
          value3 = Boolean.parseBoolean(recvalvalue);
         else
         if(recvartype.equals("char")){
           value4 = (char)recvalvalue.charAt(0);
        else
        if(recvartype.equals("String")){
          value5 = recvalvalue;
         else
         if(recvartype.equals("byte")){
           value6 = Byte.parseByte(recvalvalue);
              //listA.add(6, value6);
              //     listA.g = value6;
         else
          if(recvartype.equals("long")){
           value7 = Long.parseLong(recvalvalue);
         else
          if(recvartype.equals("short")){
          value8 = Short.parseShort(recvalvalue);
         } yes i can do this but the resultant value has to be assigned to a variable of a specific type which is here recvartype .....it has to be done dynamically automatically..if we know what type of data is that we can convert and assign to the type but we donot know when we run the program as the program will be supllied by someone and has to be executed

Creation of new primitive data types

Is it possible to create primitive data types? Or perhaps there's another solution...
I have a need to work with signed integers represented by more than 128 bits, and would prefer to define such variables as primitive types and be able to use them as such. I have no problem creating "toString()" and friends for convert binary to decimal.
Thanks in advance.

Retrieving spatial and non spatial data in one query

Hello. I am having slight difficulties using JDBC to retrieve both spatial and non spatial data in the same query. The following is code from a sample program of mine that retrives spatial data from spatial tables.
(In spatialquery geom is a geometry column and city is simply the name of the city):
try
Geometry geom = null;
String database = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + m_host + ":" + m_port + ":" + m_sid;
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
con = (OracleConnection)DriverManager.getConnection(database, sUsername, sPassword);
GeometryAdapter sdoAdapter =
OraSpatialManager.getGeometryAdapter("SDO", "8.1.7", STRUCT.class, null, null, con);
String spatialquery = "SELECT a1.geom, a1.city \n" +
"FROM cities a1";
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
OracleResultSet rs = (OracleResultSet) stmt.executeQuery(spatialquery);
int i = 0;
int noOfFeatures = 2;
while (rs.next())
for(i = 1; i <= noOfFeatures; i++)
STRUCT dbObject = (STRUCT)rs.getObject(i);
try
geom = sdoAdapter.importGeometry(dbObject);
catch(GeometryInputTypeNotSupportedException e)
System.out.println("Input Type not supported");
catch(InvalidGeometryException e)
System.out.println("Invalid geometry");
System.out.println(geom);
}//end while loop
This retrieves the sptial data fine, however when I attempt to retreive the non-spatial data I keep getting a "ClassCastException" error. I understand it is something to do with "STRUCT dbObject = (STRUCT)rs.getObject(i);" line. Can anyone tell me how to retrieve both spatial and non-spatial data in the one query using JDBC. I have tried nearly everything at this stage. Cheers joe

Should Java introduce new primitive data types??

In Java SE 5.0, many character- related methods (especially in the class Character) handle code points by using int type, i.e. return (code point) type is int, or receive (code point) int as parameter. This leads several problems. First, the variable used for storing returned result should be carefully stated, otherwise confusion may arise. Second, the parameters of method should be carefully ordered, otherwise conflict of method signature may meet.
By those reasons, I suggest that Java should introduce new primitive data types for handling characters, they are:
1. wchar
this type states the variable stores 32-bit UNSIGNED integer, and it could be used to store either the code point, or the UTF-16 code of a character.
2. ascii
this type states the variable stores 8-bit UNSIGNED integer, and it could be used to store the code point of a elemental (ascii) character.

short char, no. Nononono.
No.
wchar, I think I'd pref to see Java version 2 come
out, and that be wchar by default, but that is not
going to happen.
I don't see a great need for it at this time.http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4504839
Though I do not think that Java developer would like to change too much program code for using proposed (unsigned) primitive data types, I still believe that Java developer will eventually introduce these types, because it is not efficient to pretend signed integer to unsigned integer, and the success of a programming language is determined by how it can meet the programmers' need.

Primitive data types as a sequence of bytes

Does anyone have any experience of converting between primitive data types and sequences (i.e. arrays) of bytes? In particular I want to transmit primitive data types over a socket connection by writing a sequence of bytes.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. My personal favourite class for this is java.nio.ByteBuffer though you can also do it with java.io.DataInputStream/DataOutputStream and that might work better with sockets. ByteBuffer is particularly useful with pre-specified formats since you can specify big/little endian storage.

JAX-RPC and Parameter Interfaces

I am designing the Web Service interface for our project using JAX-RPC, and have enjoyed the ease with which I can create Web Service deployments and WSDL documents.
However, some of the developers on my team have chosen to create their Data Transfer Objects as a pair of Interface and Implementation classes. This works okay in scenario where the WS caller is "pulling" data from my service. However, it doesn't work in the scenario where the caller is "pushing" data to the service because JAX-RPC can't make the connection between the interface and implementation classes used in my service interface.
For example, suppose there are four classes in the project: MyService, MyServiceImpl, Foo, and FooImpl. The MyService class uses Foo in it's method signatures. How does JAX-RPC know to instantiate an instance of FooImpl for incoming requests?
public class MyServiceImpl implements MyService {
// not ok
public void doStuff (Foo arg) { ... }
// ok
public Foo giveMeStuff () { ... }
It would be nice if JAX-RPC provided annotations that facilitated making connections between interfaces and implementation classes used in service inputs and outputs. For example:
@WebServiceInterface {
Implementation=FooImpl
public Foo {
Any thoughts? Thanks,

Jax-rpc and soap

I have implemented a web service using jax-rpc and soap however i am unsure how to go about validating my soap package with my own schema before using the web service. How do i use my own schema to validate this, i think it may be with the wsdl file but i am not sure. At present the wsdl file points to a non existing .xsd file which the soap envelope uses, what i need i to replace this with my own schema, or is there a better way to do this than using jax-rpc and soap?
cheers
Andy

I am in the same situation as you are. Got any solution? please let me know.
Appreciate your valuable reply

Setting precision to primitive data types

How can I set precisions to the primitive data types, viz, double and float??
I'm writing a program in which I've declared a double variable as follows :
double d=12.00
System.out.println(d);
The output is 12.0 but I want it to be 12.00
How can it be done??

You have to use a BigDecimal:
        BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(12);
        bd = bd.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
        System.out.println(bd);

JAVA primitive data types - Signed/ unsigned etc.

1. Are the following data types signed or unsigned in JAVA?
byte, short, int, long, float, double
2. I have tried using "Integer" in place of "int" and the program runs perfectly. Why is this so when "Integer" is not a reserved word in JAVA?
Thanks.

And to answer your first question, byte, short, int, long, float and double are all signed.
As a part of the core of the language, Sun developed a series of 'collections' classes; Vector, ArrayList, etc. All of these classes, in the days before generics, were able to store instances of the Object class or anything that derived from it. Therefore, to store an int, a float or a double value into one of these collections classes, it was necessary to wrap it up in an instance of one of those classes that derived from Number. These are the wrapper classes that the previous poster alluded to. Typically, the wrapper class has a similar name to the primitive data type but with a capital latter; int - Integer, double - Double, etc.

Transferring primitive data types via UDP other than a String

Hi ALL,
I am new to Socket programming in UDP.
I need to implement a FTP client-server application.
Now the packet that I need to transfer using UDP as a DatagramPacket consists of multiple primitive data types, (3short types and 1 byte array of size 265.)
How do I do that?
All the samples and examples I managed to find on the Internet illustrated the problem of transferring a String type converted to getBytes and the byteArray is transferred.
However, in my case i need to pass this structure..(3fields) to the other side. If I convert the 4 fields to a single concatenated string there's this problem of finding out where each of the four fields begin and where do they end.
Please suggest and help...
thanks..
: )

Just create a class that represents your structure and convert-it to a byte array that can be sended over a DatagramSocket.
Try this sample code :
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class DP
    /** Creates a new instance of DP */
    public DP ()
     * @param args the command line arguments
    public static void main (String[] args)
        try
            System.out.println ("Starting server ...");
            DatagramServerThread server = new DatagramServerThread ("Datagram server");
            server.start ();
            System.out.println ("Creating your object ...");
            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream (); // Creating byte array output stream ..
            ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream (baos);// Creating a object output stream that writes to byte array output stream..
            YourStructure newObject = new YourStructure (); // creating your data structure..
            newObject.setShortField1 ((short)12);// setting values ...
            newObject.setShortField2 ((short)45);
            newObject.setShortField3 ((short)4);
            newObject.setArray (new byte [256]);
            oos.writeObject (newObject); // write your structure to object output stream...
            byte data_to_be_sent[] = baos.toByteArray (); // retrieving equivalent byte array...
            // send data...
            DatagramSocket s = new DatagramSocket ();
            System.out.println ("Sending ...");
            DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket (data_to_be_sent, data_to_be_sent.length);
            packet.setAddress (InetAddress.getByName ("localhost"));
            packet.setPort (8888);
            s.send (packet);
        catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace ();

How to invoke a class at run-time for primitive data types?

Hi,
I am trying to invoke classes at run-time.
I am using Class.forName("className") for that where the "className" is also obtained at run-time .
The problem I am getting is when the "className" is "int" or "char" etc. the call to Class.forName("int") etc. fails giving ClassNotFound error. It works fine for "className" is "java.lang.String" or "java.lang.Integer" etc.
How can I correct this?
thanks in advance-

Hi,
Thanks all for the valuable inputs.
I have created a hashtable of primitive data types in the form of "int" as key and "Integer.TYPE" as the object in that element of the hashtable.
Now there is another problem I am facing and that is of 'Casting at run-time'.
Problem is there when the Database type is 'NUMBER' which returns me a "java.lang.BigDecimal" when I do a ResultSet.getObject("XXX") for that whereas the method in the javabean expects an "int" type.
This causes "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch"
So I want to cast it at runtime. How can I do it?
Here is the code I am trying (which generates the above exception)
public static void setBeanField(Class pCls,Object pObj,String pMethodName ,Object pColumnValue,Class
pColumnTypeClass){
try{
if(pColumnValue!=null){
Class[] paramTypes = new Class[]{pColumnTypeClass};
Object[] args = new Object[]{pColumnValue};
Method meth = pCls.getMethod(pMethodName,paramTypes);
meth.invoke(pObj,args);
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Exception in TestInrospection.setBeanField " + e);
thanks in advance-
kg
