Network security with Oracle Database Cloud Service

Does the Oracle Database Cloud service support SSL? Or, any form of network encryption/authentication between a client and the service across the Internet?

Thank you Rick. I'm intending to use Oracle Database Cloud Service as a "Database-as-a-Service", however I have read that it is actually more of a "Platform-as-a-Service" offering.
What I would like to do is to interact with the Oracle Database Cloud Service via a local JDBC client. However, from further reading, it looks like the only way to interact with the Oracle Database Cloud Service from a non-Oracle-cloud-based client is via its RESTful web services (which, as you said, support SSL).
That is to say, I cannot simply connect to the Oracle Database Cloud Service from a local client just through JDBC alone. It looks like I would have to configure my client to make the relevant RESTful web service calls instead, and likewise configure my settings on the Oracle Database Cloud Service to make the necessary translations (from REST to SQL).
Just to finally clarify, is my above understanding correct?

GetConnection from Oracle Database Cloud Service

I created a table at the internal JCS instance, and tried to create a web service to insert the data into the table. It's a simple insert operation, so I prefer to coding it without JPA or ADF business component.
So far, the web service works, but it can't connect to database service.
Here is my code snippet of the web service method which deployed on JCS, and the jndi name is database,
        try {
            Context ctx = new InitialContext();
            DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("database");
            conn = ds.getConnection();
            String sql = "insert into bvrequest(user_id,activity) values(?,?)";
            pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
            pstmt.setString(1, userid);
            pstmt.setString(2, activity);
            pstmt.executeUpdate();
            return "OK";
The thrown exception is,
weblogic.jdbc.extensions.PoolLimitSQLException: weblogic.common.resourcepool.ResourceLimitException: No resources currently available in pool database to allocate to applications, please increase the size of the pool and retry..
Is it a correct way to use Database Cloud Service? Any suggestion/comment is welcome.

Hi Paula -
I think you need to ask this question in the Java Cloud Service forum. If you are trying to make a connection to a Database Cloud Service from Java outside the Oracle Public Cloud, you cannot do it with JDBC. You can only use RESTful Web Services from outside the Oracle Public Cloud to access the Oracle Database Cloud.
Hope this helps.

Is there a way to terminate Oracle Database Cloud Service - S5 service?

Hi All,
I'm having a very terrible situation here. I have been trying to terminate my database cloud service but nobody in Oracle sale team or support team are able to do it. I spoke to a guy from sales team and he forwarded my call to a guy in support team which he said he'll do it and gave me a reference number. A few weeks later I got an email from a billing department asking me to pay the amount that was due. I explained to him the situation and got no words back from him. Guess what! today I checked my bank account and found that Oracle has taken the payment from me!
I'm furiously angry with Oracle! It seems that there is no escape from the cloud service! the customer service is terrible and there seems no co-ordinations between different departments.
I really appreciate for your help as I dont who I should and can speak to.
Cheers,
Syaifuddin

Not good to hear.... I hope it has been resolved by now.
However, in case of such an event, which will not happen to often, you can always request your bank to block this until the situation has been resolved. In esscece this should not happen however I can imagine that in a very unlikely scenario this could happen.
Hope Iloon Wolff-Oracle has been able to resolve this for you.

I can see the cloud database has tables and data which I have deployed but when I access the application it seems it is not able to connect with cloud database.
I have followed below document and same sample application (HRSystem).

Database access from Oracle Java Cloud Service application

I have registered for Oracle Java Cloud Service for trial period. I want to deploy a Spring MVC 3.2 and Hibernate 4.0 web application.
I created a table in the Database Cloud. I am not sure how do I access the Database Cloud Service from my application.
Need your guidance/pointers/references that can help me establish connection from my application to the database.
Thanks,

Hi,
Use JPA - see the visitors example, it uses @PersistenceUnit injection with previously weaved .class entity files.
You can use application managed EMF's and EntityManagers with code like the following - which is not preferable to using @PersistenceContext injection on an @Stateless session EJB but...
          EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("JPAServletPU");
          EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
          EntityTransaction transaction = null;
          try {
               transaction = em.getTransaction();
               transaction.begin();
               Visitor entity = new Visitor();
               entity.setName(name);
               entity.setNum(num);
               em.persist(entity);
               transaction.commit();
               System.out.println("Committing: " + entity);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          } finally {
               em.close();
               emf.close();
Use a persistence.xml like the following
<persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="JPAServletPU" transaction-type="JTA">
<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
     
<jta-data-source>database</jta-data-source>
<class>com.vision.cloud.jpa.Visitor</class>
<exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>
<properties>
     <property name="eclipselink.target-database" value="Oracle10g" />
<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="create-tables"/>

</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>

Hi,
Could you try the following command ? Seems like some dependent Windows DLL is not being loaded..

This will output the reason why oraopc12.dll can't be loaded.

Configuring EMail in Database Cloud Service(Schema)

Hi
I am trying to use APEX_MAIL for emailing. Before using this, Where do I configure SMTP host , port ...etc in my Database Cloud Service.??
I tried log in to APEX console of my Database, Administration tab but I didn't find any place to setup this information.
I am using DB cloud Service associated with JCS-SAAS Extension (Trial version)
Thanks
Samrajyam

I don't think you need or even can change the configuration. You should be able to send and email with:
BEGIN
    l_id := APEX_MAIL.SEND(
        p_to        => '[email protected]',
        p_from      => '[email protected]',
        p_subj      => 'APEX_MAIL',
        p_body      => 'Some content',
        p_body_html => '<b>Some content</b>');
END;
For details of APEX_MAIL refer to the documentation.

Problem with Oracle database Express Edition (Linux)

I installed oracle-xe on my machine (ArchLinux x64), and all worked fine before a reboot. After it, I still can connnect to the db with sqlplus, but can't connect to apex (http://localhost:8080/apex/f?p=4950) and can't get a connection using ojdbc:
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection.
I tried to reinstall the db several times, but the result was always the same: all is ok only before rebooting. I'm a newer with Oracle database and can't find a solution. Could you give me some tip about it?

The problem was solved by changing permissions for log directory :
sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/lib/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/log

RFS[3985]: Possible network disconnect with primary database
There is no error in the primary database regarding this.
And after this no archive logs are being pushed to the standby database.
In V$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS view the column synchronizaion_status says CHECK NETWORK for dest_name LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2
Please advice.
Thanks.

Ashwani N.

Both messages look crystal clear to me.
Did you check the network?
If not, why not?

EJB on Oracle Java Cloud Service

Hi, I am new to the world of Java, EJB, Weblogic Server.
Steps that I have carried out -
1. I have implemented a HelloBean, HelloHome, HelloObject - objective is just to print "Hello" through one of the bean's biz method.
2. I created class files for the above 3 java programs.
3. I have created a JAR file of 3 javas programs, its' class, along with the required META-INF/ejb-jar.xml.
4. Now, when I tried to deploy this JAR file in Oracle Java Cloud service, I got errors stating that RemoteException is not allowed, EJBObject is not allowed. So, I changed everything to local removing RemoteException reference, changing EJBObject to EJBLocalObject.
Now, the questions -
a] Reference to point (4), why should I have it as LOCAL? Is it because the client is excepted to be in the same heap of the Cloud?
b] I deployed the JAR file in cloud, but when I checked the logs, it was looking for WAR file. I understand that WAR will have access points that will inturn use the JAR that I created.
c] Reference to point (5), how do I invoke the biz method now?
Thanks,
J

I get this below message when I try to follow the Application URL when I opt for "Test Application" of the above in Oracle Java Cloud Service.
Error 403--Forbidden
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable.
This is in reference to the last question raised above.
