JNDI lookup from a Java stored proc?

Anybody know if a JNDI lookup, or accessing an EJB from a Java stored procedure is possible? I looked through all the docs and it says it is possible but doesn't specify how. In the java class thats resolved through the stored proc, how are the server generated classes and interfaces made available? Normally setting the classpath for the client app that does the lookup accomplishes this, but what if its called through the stored proc?

check the rdbms platform's "javavm" folder for a "readme.txt" file ...
In section 3.16.9, it discusses how to do this ...

What I did to solve this problem was to
create a simple RMI remote object that
resides outside the database JVM and that
serves as a proxy EJB client for your java
stored procedure. The stored procedure can
invoke a method on the remote RMI object
which then looks up the EJBean's home
interface and invokes the relevant method on
the bean's remote interface, and relays any
return values back to the java stored
procedure.
Hope this helps,
Avi.

Java stored proc from proxy Java classes generated from a web service?

Hi gurus,
I have searched "Java Stored Procedure" on this forum but could not find what I am looking for, so I have to post again.
I need to use a web service and my client app is written in PowerBuilder 11 (Sybase), which claims that it will create a datawindow from a web service. Well, it turned out that PB can only handle simple stuff (it works with a very simple wsdl from the internet) but can't handle more complex ones that we need to use. So I am thinking about using Oracle JDeveloper(JDev) to create the web service proxy for the web service and then load it into Oracle as a Java stored procedure so that PowerBuilder can call the procedure. JDev succsfully generated the proxy and a few Java classes. My question is, do I need to load all the classes into the database? If yes, will the reference to the package work? For example, in a JDev generated class (the soap client class), it has package MyJdev.proxy; at the top. Or, will it work if I load all the classes included in package /MyJdev/proxy into the database?
Thank you very much for any help.

Can't execute OS-level command from java stored proc

I've written a couple simple java stored procs, the first of which writes an file and the second attempts a chown on it. I can write the file (which is written as the oracle user) just fine. I need to chown it, but can't. Here's the first proc:
public static String writefile()
String fileName = "/joetest/test.xml";
try {
File f = new File(fileName);
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(f);
PrintStream p = new PrintStream(out);
p.println("this is only a test");
p.close();
return "create file successful!!!";
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Exception occurred writing file:"+e;
Here's the proc I've been stuggling with:
public static String chown(String inString)
String[] command = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "/usr/bin/chown notjoe /joetest/test.xml"};
if (inString != null) {
command[2] = inString;
try {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
return "Ownership change success!! "+p;
} catch (Exception e) {
return "Ownership change failure?? err="+e;
The package is created with:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE JOE.THISISATEST AS
FUNCTION writefile
return VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE java
NAME 'thisisatest.writefile() return java.lang.String';
FUNCTION chown(Param1 VARCHAR2)
return VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE java
NAME 'thisisatest.chown(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
end;
And I've granted the following privileges:
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'java.io.FilePermission', '/joetest/test.xml', 'read, write, execute, delete');
end;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'java.io.FilePermission', '/usr/bin/chown', 'execute');
end;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
end;
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
end;
Here's the error that I'm getting:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
Coincidentally, this is the same error that I used to get when I wrote the file without having been granted write privileges. Once I granted myself the proper 'write' permissions I could perform file IO just fine. Is there some runtime permission that I need to grant myself to run chown? I'm just guessing, as I can't find any permission like that in the java documentation. I have 'execute' permission on /usr/bin/chown and the oracle user can execute the command I'm attempting from the command line. ARRRRRGH.
I am at my wits end with this. I've tried what seems like a thousand different syntaxes for the OS command and ran it from many different directories. Anyone have any thoughts at all as to why this is happening? I'm just clutching at straws now...

Hmmmm. Granting 'execute' on '<<ALL FILES>>' to user JOE fixes this problem:
begin
dbms_java.grant_permission('JOE', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'execute');
end;
My security folks will not allow this when I port to production, but at least it is something.

Throwing exceptions from Java Stored Procs

Hi,
We'd like to be able to define our own exceptions from our Java Stored Procedures (i'm going to call them JSP's even thought that's not PC). I am aware that the manual says "When a Java stored procedure executes a SQL statement, any exception thrown is materialized to the procedure as a subclass of java.sql.SQLexception. That class has the methods getErrorCode() and getMessage(), which return the Oracle error code and message, respectively."
Does this mean that we can't really extend the SQLException class and define our own set of methods for handling exceptions in JSP's? Is there a work around for handling exceptions in JSP's? Since exception handling is such a powerful component of Java, I figure someone has addressed the limitations of the above paragraph.
Thanks,
Kristi

Unfortunately, right now GCC's standard C++ runtime library is NOT threadsafe. You can find documentation supporting this on the GCC website. Since you're running a multithreaded Java/JNI application, you'll certainly hit this shortcoming.
<p>
Supposedly, this will all be fixed in GCC 3.0.
<p>
In the meantime, if you're using SPARC, the only option you have is either using SC4.2 or Forte 6 Update 2 (this particular version is VERY important for several reasons).

Java Stored Proc and Oracle 8.0.6.20?

Hi,
I have a customer using Oracle 8.0.6 (on multi-platforms). We'll need to implement a pl/sql which needs to execute an external script.
My understanding is there are only 2 ways to achieve this: (a) use Java stored procedure, (b) use C/C++ library
Question 1: Is Java Stored Proc available in 8.0.6?
Question 2: Is there anywhere I can download Oracle 8.0.6 (Windows, or Tru64, Linux)?
- Will

java in the database was introduced from Oracle8i onwards. this version of Oracle does not support java virtual machine in the database.
You would need to use C/C++ external procedures.

Java stored proc status

hello.
What would trigger the change of "STATUS" from valid to invalid
for a java stored procedure (status of the PROCEDURE, not the
java class/source)?
E.g.
- loaded a java source/class
- published it with CREATE PROCEDURE ...
- the procedure inserts a row into some table X
- select* from user_objects where object_type = 'PROCEDURE'; shows that
the proc is valid
- call the proc, fine
- delete a column from the table X
- select* from user_objects where object_type = 'PROCEDURE'; shows that
the proc is still VALID
- call the proc, the call actually completed without error! (but the new row didn't get inserted into the table)
When the schema of a table that a java stored proc refers
to changes, will the java stored proc automatically marked
as "INVALID"? If not, when will this status changed from
VALID to INVALID?
Thanks.
Min

Min:
A java stored procedure is marked as VALID or INVALID depending on whether Oracle had any problems loading the class file into the database. Since you had no problems loading the class file it will always be valid.
Now, after you deleted the column in the table I would assume that the java stored procedure would have a problem when it tried to do an insert and it would throw an exception. Your java stored procedure is VALID, it just isn't executing properly and is more than likely throwing an exception.
Sometimes an exception thrown from a jsp is written to a log file instead of to the console. I suspect that this is the case in your situation. You think that the call to the jsp executed with no errors, but I bet it didn't. You will probably find the errors somewhere in the oracle\ora90\admin\mydatabase directory. Look at the latest .trc file. (Note: the path I gave to the .trc files may be different depending on what version of oracle you are using).

How to pass a refcursor to a java stored proc

Hi all,
Please forgive me as I am new to Java and JDeveloper....
I want to pass a refcursor to a java stored proc. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
dayneo

Hi,
As Avi has indicated, you can map ref cursor to java.sql.ResultSet
here are Call Specs and a code snippet from chapter 3 in my book.
procedure rcproc(rc OUT EmpCurTyp)
as language java
name 'refcur.refcurproc(java.sql.ResultSet[])';
function rcfunc return EmpCurTyp
as language java
name 'refcur.refcurfunc() returns java.sql.ResultSet';
* Function returning a REF CURSOR
public static ResultSet refcurfunc () throws SQLException
Connection conn = null;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:kprb:");
((OracleConnection)conn).setCreateStatementAsRefCursor(true);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
((OracleStatement)stmt).setRowPrefetch(1);
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select * from EMP order by empno");
// fetch one row
if (rset.next())
System.out.println("Ename = " + rset.getString(2));
return rset;

How to publish a Java Stored proc....

Hi,

public class EmployeeStruct
public int EmployeeNum;
public String EmployeeName;
public String Designation;
and
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public class InsertData
public static InsertEmployee(EmployeeStruct eps) throws SQLException
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:default:connection:");
String sql = "INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE_TABLE VALUES (?, ?, ?)";
try
PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
pstmt.setInt(1, eps.EmployeeNum);
pstmt.setString(2, eps.EmployeeName);
pstmt.setString(3, eps.Designation);
pstmt.executeUpdate();
pstmt.close();
catch (SQLException e)
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
My question is how do I publish the InsertData proc. I tried :
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_data (e EMPLOYEESTRUCT) AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'INSERTDATA(EmployeeStruct)';
but this gives me PLS-00201, identifier EmployeeStruct must be declared.
COULD SOMEONE HELP ME/ SHOW ME HOW ?
I wish to call the java stored proc from an external java program.

You can't pass Java classes to Java Stored Procedures via the PL/SQL wrapper. You'll have to write your wrapper to take the int as a NUMBER and the two Strings separately as VARCHAR2s, e.g.:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_data
EmployeeNum IN NUMBER,
EmployeeName IN VARCHAR2,
Designation IN VARCHAR2
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'InsertData.InsertEmployee(int, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)';

Using an existing connection in a Java Stored Proc

Hi,
I have to invoke a Java stored procedure from a PL/SQL stored proc. In the Java stored proc I open a database connection & execute some SQLs. To do this can I use the same connection that is used to invoke the PL/SQL stored proc. In other words can we use the existing PL/SQL connection within a Java stored proc that is being called by the former PL/SQL instead of creating a new connection?
Thanks in advance.
Sunitha

Ok I understood how to get the default connection from http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_faq.htm#05_01
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:default:connection");However, I find that the Java stored proc is running slower in Oracle VM than invoking it from a command line Java program using thick driver from a remote machine.
Thanks anyway.

Do Java Stored Proc support GUI

Calling Java stored procedure from database Trigger
I tried three things individually in Java Stored proc after
trigger is fired:
1. Do SQL statement (Insert into ... )
2. Execute a command to open notepad screen.
3. Open a new Frame and display it.
These three are simple testing, Item 1 works fine, however,
Item 2 and 3 never works.
IS JAVA STORED PROC CAN ONLY DO SQL TYPES OF WORK (INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE) ?
The errors I have for Items 2 and 3 are like:
1. When loading java: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
oracle.aurora.awt.UnsupportedOperation:GUI not supported.
2. When triger is fired: class SCOTT.DBTrigger could not be resolved.
Thanks for help !!

As far as I know java stored procedures can't use any GUI classes. Only unvisible actions!

I loaded the oracle xmlparser.jar into ORACLE8i db sucessfully (used -resolve option). Then I loaded my .class file with -verbose and -resolve option and I did not get any erros. I created function which return string. When I ran the function, I did not get any value bacmk.
Can I use System.out.println in java programs in ORACLE8i. If I can where can I see the output when the program runs? I not waht other mehtods I can use to debug the program running in ORACLE8i JVM.

Hi Srini,
This is just a suggestion, but try entering the following commands (in your SQL*Plus session) before executing your stored procedure:
set serveroutput on size 1000000
exec dbms_java.set_output(1000000)Hope this helps.
Good Luck,
Avi.
