Newbie question on how to return java objects from java stored procedures

Hi,
As you may guess, i'm new to this.
I have a stored procedure that does some calculations and creates a list of java objects as the result of the query.
How would I return the list from the database to the client application?
Would I have to create an Oracle type that maps to the java object?
Please help.
Jag

Hi Jag,
Your question is very vague (to me). Perhaps you could post what you have done so far? Have you tried looking through the Sample Code page of the Technet Web site, or tried searching the Ask tom Web site, or MetaLink?
Good Luck,
Avi.

How to return custJava Object from Java Stored Function/Procedure to Java Application

I WILL PAY $100 FOR SOLUTION.
Oracle JDBC documentation gives step by step on how to return Oracle Type Object to Java Application. No question here.
But is it possible to create Java Stored Function [getMyClass() ] which returns CUSTOM Java based object [MyClass] to Java application like:
//java stored function
class Foo
public static MyClass getMyClass()
return new MyClass();
//java class I want to return to Java
class MyClass
public String getGreetings(String name)
return "Hello " + name;
I tried to do it using intermittent Oracle
Type Object and OracleConnection map to make binding between Java->Oracle->Java. I could
not get throgh meaningless run time ORA Errors. Any kind of help would be greatly
appreciated. If you know the answer please
post it or e-mail [email protected]
null

You don't say which version of the database you are on. There's an interesting looking article on OTN on handling CLOBs in JDBC in 10g. It may well be useful for earlier versions too (but no guarantees).

How do I return two values from a stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" within SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi,
How do I return two values from a
stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" please? Each of these two values need to be populated into an SSIS variable for later processing, e.g. StartDate and EndDate.
Thinking about stored procedure output parameters for example. Is there anything special I need to bear in mind to ensure that the SSIS variables are populated with the updated stored procedure output parameter values?
Something like ?
CREATE PROCEDURE [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate]
@intPeriod INT,
@strPeriod_Length NVARCHAR(1),
@dtStart NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT,
@dtEnd NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT
AS
then within the SSIS component; -
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

Below execute statement should work along the parameter mapping which you have provided. Also try specifying the parameter size property as default.
Exec [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate] ?,?,? output, ? output
Add a script task to check ssis variables values using,
Msgbox(Dts.Variables("User::strExtractStartDate").Value)
Do not forget to add the property "readOnlyVariables" as strExtractStartDate variable to check for only one variable.

Returning a table from a stored procedure

hi, i need to return a table from a stored procedure and show it, and come to this, but a don't know hoy to run it, so i don't know if it is right, can anyone help me?
uTable out objects_uptime%rowtype
as
begin
select * into uTable from objects_uptime;
end;

well, i finally discovered how to do the trick
this is the code for the function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION FN_GET_RECORDS RETURN UPTIME PIPELINED IS
CURSOR cUptime is select * from objects_uptime;
p refcur.refcur_t;
temp p%ROWTYPE;
temp2 OUPTIME := OUPTIME(null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null);
BEGIN
OPEN cUptime;
LOOP
FETCH cUptime into temp;
temp2.OBJ_NAME := temp.OBJ_NAME;
temp2.IP := temp.IP;
temp2.STATUS := temp.STATUS;
temp2.DOE := temp.DOE;
temp2.ENABLED := temp.ENABLED;
temp2.COMMENT00000 := temp.COMMENT00000;
temp2.USERID := temp.USERID;
temp2.OBJECTID := temp.OBJECTID;
temp2.MNTID := temp.MNTID;
pipe row(temp2);
EXIT WHEN cUptime%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END FN_GET_RECORDS;
and this for the auxiliar package, object and table:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE REFCUR
as
TYPE refcur_t IS REF CURSOR RETURN objects_uptime%ROWTYPE;
end REFCUR;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE OUPTIME AS OBJECT ( "OBJ_NAME"
VARCHAR2(255), "IP" VARCHAR2(20), "STATUS" VARCHAR2(10),
"DOE" DATE, "ENABLED" NUMBER(10, 1), "COMMENT00000"
VARCHAR2(1000), "USERID" VARCHAR2(50), "OBJECTID" NUMBER(10,
1), "MNTID" NUMBER(10, 1) )
CREATE TYPE TUPTIME AS
TABLE OF OUPTIME
i call it this way:
select * from table(FN_GET_RECORDS ())
if anyone knows how to do the same in a shorter manner, tell me please.
thanks to everybody for the help.

How to return a object from a method in a java program to a C++ call (JNI )

Sir,
I am new to java and i have been assigned a task to be done using JNI.
My question is,
How can i return an object from a method in a java program to a call for the same method in a C++program using JNI.
Any help or suggesstions in this regard would be very useful.
Thanking you,
Anjan Kumar

Hello
I would like to suggest that JNI should be your last choice and not your first choice. JNI is hard to get right. Since the JNI code is executing in the same address space as the JVM, any problems (on either side) will take down the entire process. It dilutes the Write Once Run Anywhere (WORA) value proposition because you need to provide the JNI component for all hardware/OS platforms. If you can keep your legacy code(or whatever you feel you need to do in JNI) in a separate address space and communicate via some inter-process channel, you end up with a system that is more flexible, portable, and scalable.
Having said all that, head over to the Java Native Interface: Programmer's Guide and Specification web page:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/
Scroll down to the Download the example code in this book in ZIP or tar.gz formats. links and download the example source. Study and run the example sources. The jniexamples/chap5/MyNewString demo creates a java.lang.String object in native code and returns it to the Java Language program.

How to return a resultset in a stored procedure without using Cursor

Dear all,
I need to return a resultset in a stored procedure.
I know I can return a Cursor.
But because there are many complicate logics I need to carry out,
so I can finish all the logic in a SINGLE SQL select statement, so I think it can't
use Cursor as return value.
Does anybody know other approaches? Please help.
Thanks!

Some basic techniques that one can use in SQL. These are merely to illustrate (simplistically) different approaches.
> field3 = select count(*) from table2,table1 where table2.id = table1.id
This can be done via an analytical function (refer to the SQL Reference) or very simply, as an in-line select as follows:
SQL> select
2 o.object_name,
3 (select count(*) from user_objects u where u.object_type = o.object_type) as "ONE OF",
4 o.object_type
5 from user_objects o
6 where o.object_name = 'LISTFILES';
OBJECT_NAME ONE OF OBJECT_TYPE
LISTFILES 8 PROCEDURE
So LISTFILE is "one of 8" procedures. I would however rather so this via an analytic function as these are a lot more flexible. Note the WITH clause that allows "modularisation" of SQL - kind of like creating "sub-SQL results" in a single SQL statement:
SQL> with DATASET1 as(
2 select
3 object_name,
4 count(distinct object_name) over (partition by object_type) as TOTAL_TYPES,
5 object_type
6 from user_objects
7 ),
8 DATASET2 as(
9 select
10 name,
11 text as SOURCE_LINE,
12 line as LINE_NO,
13 count(line) over (partition by name) as TOTAL_LINES
14 from user_source
15 )
16 select
17 object_name,
18 '1 of '||total_types||' '||object_type as "TYPE",
19 source_line as "1st LINE",
20 total_lines as "TOTAL LINES"
21 from DATASET1 ds1,
22 DATASET2 ds2
23 where ds1.object_name = ds2.name
24 and ds1.object_name = 'LISTFILES'
25* and ds2.line_no = 1
SQL> /
OBJECT_NAME TYPE 1st LINE TOTAL LINES
LISTFILES 1 of 8 PROCEDURE procedure ListFiles( cDirectory in varchar2 ) 3
SQL>
SQL is quite powerful and analytical functions allows all kinds of aggregation processing per row, accessing the leading or lagging rows' data, etc.
You need to play around with this to get to grips with it and how to apply it.

Calling Java programs from Oracle Stored Procedure

Is it possible to call Java programs from Oracle stored procs? If possible Can this be used to exchange data from other applications? Is there a better method/feature in oracle for doing data exchange with other apps?

If what you mean by Oracle stored procedures is pl/sql then yes.
You can create a "wrapper" this way:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xmlXform
in_mapUrl IN VARCHAR2,
in_inputUrl IN VARCHAR2
RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE JAVA NAME
'com.yourcompany.xml2any.xform(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
RETURN java.lang.String';
Then load the java as:
loadjava -user youruser/youruserpasswd -resolve -verbose lib/xmlparserv2.jar classes/com/yourcompany/xform.class classes/com/yourcompany/xml2any.class
The java, given the correct permissions, can do anything java can do including communicate with outside applications.
Is this the "best" way... depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

How to get stylesheet object from JAVA RESOURCE stored in DB

Hi,
I stored a xslt file in the database and have a JAVA RESOURCE file now. How can i get a stylesheet object from this resource file?
I took the following class to get an impression how to get the contents of the resource but -although the name of the resource was spelled correctly- i got a file not found exception.
Whats wrong?
public class PrintRessource {
public static void print (String p_ressource){
try {
Class c = PrintRessource.class;
System.out.println(c.toString());
InputStream file = c.getResourceAsStream(p_ressource);
if (file == null)
throw new FileNotFoundException("XSLT file not in DB");
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int bytes_read;
while ((bytes_read = file.read(buffer)) != -1)
System.out.println(new String(buffer, 0 , buffer.length));
catch (Exception exp) {
System.out.println(exp);
Thanks

The code works as is. I just forgot to add the slash in front of the Resource file name.

Calling a java object from a store procedure

I have written a translation object in java that takes a $en_var in and returns its path.
What I need to do is call that object from a PL/SQL store procedure. All the examples I have seen treat the store procedure as a wrapper around the java object.
But in my store procedure calling the object is only one part of the procedures role:
The store procedure code is :
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE WRITE_TO_FILE(in_file_name IN VARCHAR, in_en_var IN VARCHAR)
file_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
file_location VARCHAR2(50)
BEGIN
I need to be able to call the javaobject translation here
file_location = translation.translatePath(in_en_var)
file_handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(file_location, in_file_name, 'w');
dbms_output.put_line ('input file name opened file name' ||in_file_name ||'-->' ||in_file_location);
UTL_FILE.put_line(file_handle,'Hello Tony);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(file_handle);
END WRITE_TO_FILE;
I call the java class method translatePath with a string the en_var which returns the path as a string which is then passed as a parameter to UTL_FILE.FOPEN.
Thanks for any help
Tony

Empty strings when passing a Java object to a Stored Procedure

Hi,
I'm using the interface SQLData to pass Java objects to StoredProcedures. All the object's attributes 'arrive' to the Stored Procedure ok, except the strings, which are empty.
Here is my Oracle object:
TYPE OBJ_ASJFF_OBJ1 IS OBJECT (
ARG1 CHAR(3),
ARG2 NUMBER(4),
ARG3 CHAR(4),
ARG4 NUMBER(7),
ARG5 NUMBER(13,2),
ARG6 CHAR(1));
The nested table of that object:
TYPE TAB_ASJFF_OBJ1 AS TABLE OF OBJ_ASJFF_OBJ1;
The procedure declaration:
PROCEDURE Pup_Instaura_Processo (                              x_crCert IN TAB_ASJFF_OBJ1,
x_cResult OUT CHAR(4)
My SQLData implementation:
public void writeSQL(SQLOutput stream) throws SQLException {
               stream.writeString(getArg1());
               stream.writeInt(getArg2().intValue());
               stream.writeString(getArg3());
               stream.writeLong(getArg4().longValue());
               stream.writeBigDecimal(getArg5());
               stream.writeString(getArg6());
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance

How to get XML output from a stored procedure

I have a very simple question:
I would like to write a stored procedure (SP) that will return results in XML format (as a string). My tables in database are not of XML TYPE. But I need XML output.
ie, SP will run like a typical SP but the only difference will be its output in XML.
1) is it possible?
2) if possible, how?
Please, help

Calling Java Constructor from Oracle Stored Procedure

Hi all,
I have come across a situation where on insert into one Oracle database instance, a trigger will be fired which will call a procedure which in turn calls a Java constructor with 2 string arguments(The Java class is loaded into another instance of Oracle using Loadjava).
(Note: I don't want to call a static method from the Oracle procedure)
I have seen some examples where in using links, on insertion into a table another table of another instance can also be updated.
for ex: "INSERT INTO testuser.sal_audit@mainlink VALUES (?, ?, ?)" where "mainlink" is a DB link between the 2 instances.
Similarly is it possble to call the Java constructor loaded in another instance?
I have tried in this way. It's not working.
create or replace procedure pr_Cust_object(FeData varchar2,szDummy varchar2) as
LANGUAGE JAVA NAME
'CustomObject@mainLink(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)';
end pr_Cust_object;
Expecting help at the earliest--ASAP.
Thanks and Regards,
Narendra S K

I don't know how to do that, but I would be interested in knowing how long each insert/update/delete (which ever the trigger fires on) takes.
And the logic for rollbacks is probably really interesting.

How to return ResultSet object from Bean to JSP

I have a Java Bean, in it I have ResultSet Object in a method. Now I want to send this ResultSet Object to the JSP.

very good advice, otherwise you will spread your sql exception handling over way too many places. Keep it centered, so you can be sure to close your connection, statement, resultset again. Otherwise your database and web application might all of a sudden stop responding.
