Oracle Database Express Edition 2 Day Plus Java Developer Guide??

Question

I posted in the JDeveloper forum, as well as sending email via your feedback link found on the tutorial but I am a little disappointed by this:
The Oracle® Database Express Edition 2 Day Plus Java Developer Guide has some errors in it.
in Windows, I simply chose, start
-> programs -> Oracle Database Express Edition -> Go To Database Home Page -> click documentation from the link -> and run the Oracle® Database Express Edition 2 Day Plus Java Developer Guide tutorial.
the problem is there are mistake(s) in the tutorial, for example: section 4-19 is this:
"The complete code for the method should now be as follows:
public boolean authenticateUser(String userid, String password,
HttpSession session) throws SQLException { "
it needs to be this:
public boolean authenticateUser(String jdbcURL, String userid, String password,
HttpSession session) throws SQLException {
Also:
there is no mention that :
the port and SID must also be passed in the
ds.setURL(jdbcUrl) found in the authenticateUser() method, or an exception is thrown. This differs from value of the jdbcUrl string found in the getDBConnection() , which makes it hard to figure out
The tutorial is great even if it doesn't work out of the box, but I am disappointed that errata or completed code for this project is not available, especially when you explicitely point to it via the steps mentioned above.
Thanks,
Patrick

Answer 1

The tutorial seems to be using the old JDeveloper 10.1.2.
If you are aiming to learn JDeveloper then just use the tutorials linked from the JDeveloper home page.
