Oracle Toplink Version issue

Oracle Toplink Version
Hi all,
Can i know which version of toplink is stable?
currently i am using toplink v9.0.3 for our project.i found in the same forum that there is a bug(#2662726) in v9.0.3 related to improper setting of target foreign key and a suggestion to use v9.0.3.2 where bug had been fixed.
I am unable to find v9.0.3.2 download in oracle site.I found only the latest versions 9.0.4(10g product).I tried to install toplink 10g which is just an extraction of zip file,but i end up with the error "Windows cannot find '-Xmx128m' file" when i tried to start workbench.cmd
I found somewhere that there is a work-around for that bug - just reversing the feild names of addTargetForeignKeyFeildName() method.
I don't want to take risk.
please suggest me correct stable versions and place of downloads of both App.server and toplink
our Oracle Application server version is 9.0.3. if i am going to use the latest version of toplink,can it solve the issue mentioned above and also can it be compatible with app server version.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Karthick.

Hi doug,
Thanks for ur immediate response.
I had installed the latest patchset 9.0.3.6 and tried to generate project java source using workbench.
now the foreign key mapping problem is O.K. but i am having problems in the generated persistent classes code.
I am having certain feilds in a table in Oracle Database of type Number of size varying from 1 - 6. I used workbench to generate code for that table. In that i found that all attributes which has direct to feild mapping to a Number datatype in Database is of type Double(irrespective of size even for Number(1)).
I think it is a huge memory wastage having Double where an Integer or other types will do.
I would be very grateful if u help me in this regards.

Using oracle.toplink.sessions.Connector issues

Hi,
Since we are integrating with others,should use database connections from other app's connection pool.I use one class to implement oracle.toplink.sessions.Connector,in connect method,get connection from other app's connection pool.It works well.But I want to free connection to connection pool when one API is finished.How can I do this?I checked there is no such API.please help

The issue is with your select method.
When you read against the session in TopLink you are reading the object directly from the shared object cache. These objects must be treated as read-only, if you modify them you are modifying what TopLink considers to be the committed state of the object, so when you register it and update it, TopLink does not detect any changes and does not make any updates as you already changed the original cached version of the object. If you wish to modify an object you first need to register or read it through a UnitOfWork, or clone/serialize the object yourself if you wish to edit detached objects and then merge them back.
Example: (if you used a unit of work in your select it would clone the object)
public Employees select(int Employee) {
Session session = server.acquireClientSession();
UnitOfWork uow = session.acquireUnitOfWork();
return read(uow, Employee);
Note, that if you then modified the object locally in the same transaction/unit of work, you would just be able to call commit on that same unit of work, and not require an update method.

Query caching issue with Toplink version 10.1.3.5.0

We are in the process of upgrading the toplink version from 9.0.4.7 to 10.1.3.5.0
We are finding an odd issue with insert statements generated for an aggregate collection mapping with addTargetForeignKeyFieldName.
We have a Table Ticket and Table Task with Table Activity as a child for both.
Table Ticket
Ticket_Key (PK)
Table B
Task_Key (PK)
Table C
Activity_Key (PK)
Task_Key (FK)
Ticket_Key(FK)
Notes
Version
Here are the mappings from
Ticket Project
AggregateCollectionMapping activitiesMapping = new AggregateCollectionMapping();
        activitiesMapping.setAttributeName("activities");
        activitiesMapping.setReferenceClass(com.common.Activity.class);
        activitiesMapping.dontUseIndirection();
activitiesMapping.privateOwnedRelationship();
        activitiesMapping.useCollectionClass(java.util.ArrayList.class);
        activitiesMapping.addTargetForeignKeyFieldName("ACTIVITY.TICKET_KEY", "TICKET.TICKET_KEY");
activitiesMapping.useBatchReading();
        descriptor.addMapping(activitiesMapping);
Task Project:
AggregateCollectionMapping activitiesMapping = new AggregateCollectionMapping();
        activitiesMapping.setAttributeName("activities");
        activitiesMapping.setReferenceClass(com.common.Activity.class);
        activitiesMapping.dontUseIndirection();
activitiesMapping.privateOwnedRelationship();
        activitiesMapping.useCollectionClass(java.util.ArrayList.class);
        activitiesMapping.addTargetForeignKeyFieldName("ACTIVITY.TASK_KEY", "TASK.TASK_KEY");
activitiesMapping.useBatchReading();
        descriptor.addMapping(activitiesMapping);
The tickets and tasks with activities gets inserted in the same transaction.
Here are the queries that what we get from the toplink version 9.x
2013-10-29 10:30:50,582 - SELECT SEQ_ACTIVITY.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL
2013-10-29 10:30:50,582 - INSERT INTO ACTIVITY (TASK_KEY, VERSION, NOTES, ACTIVITY_KEY) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)
2013-10-29 10:30:50,582 - bind => [2900830, 0, Create Task, 8590870]
2013-10-29 10:30:50,926 - INSERT INTO ACTIVITY (TICKET_KEY, VERSION, NOTES, ACTIVITY_KEY) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)
2013-10-29 10:30:50,926 - bind => [326450, 1, Created Ticket, 8590860]
Here are the queries generated from toplink version 10.x
2013-10-26 23:31:10,426   SELECT SEQ_ACTIVITY.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL
2013-10-26 23:31:10,430   INSERT INTO ACTIVITY (TASK_KEY, ACTIVITY_KEY,NOTES, VERSION) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)
2013-10-26 23:31:10,430   bind => [2900690, 8590500, Create Task, 0]
2013-10-26 23:31:10,509 INSERT INTO ACTIVITY (TASK_KEY, ACTIVITY_KEY, NOTES, VERSION) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)
2013-10-26 23:31:10,510   bind => [null, 8590490, Created Ticket, 1]
It appears like the new version of the toplink caching the prepared statements and it is not recognizing the targetForeignKeyFieldName mapping of the Ticket Project.
Any help in resolving this issue is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi James,
1)Yes it supports IE 8 .Please review the below link for certification details on browers :-
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/as-certification-r2-101202-095871.html#BAJGCBEA
     Note: Oracle Application Server supports only those browsers.
2)Forms only support Windows 7 32 bit only.
    Please refer to the note:1292919.1 "Certification of Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2) on Windows 7 (32-bit)"
3)Could you provide more information of JVM because when you install 10gR2 it has JDK and JRE present in it.

Prakash.

Oracle TopLink Object-to-XML - issue JAXBException: Provider not found...

Env:
OS:XP
Java dev env: JDev 10.1.2 production
Toplink Workbench - 10g Developer Preview 3 (10.1.3.0) build 041116
I am attempting to use the toplink object to xml functionality through carefully following the tutorial titled Oracle TopLink Object-to-XML on OTN (link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/preview/10.1.3dp3/howto/ox/index.htm)
The first 11 steps are nice and clear and very easy to follow. However, when I hit 12 I run into problems. I believe I have done all I am required to do.
My demo test code falls over on the attempting to create the JAXB context:
JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance("examples.ox.model");
The exception I get is:
javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: Provider oracle.toplink.ox.jaxb.JAXBContextFactory not found
- with linked exception:
[java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.toplink.ox.jaxb.JAXBContextFactory ]
The code is capable of loading the jaxb.properties file, and has toplink.jar in the classpath. I am able to create a is located JAXBContextFactory prior to calling the new instance logic, illustrating that the class is in the classpath.
Using google I have seen it mentioned that the newInstance call could be making use of a different JVM to the Application (https://jaxb.dev.java.net/faq/#classloader) hence may not be able to pick up the JAXBContextFactory class. I have attempted to follow their advice of passing in a class loader - but this makes no difference.
I.E. JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance("examples.ox.model", this.getClass().getClassLoader());
Does anyone recognise this issue and have a solution.
Here is my code:
try
File file = new File("D:\\Toplink\\demo\\Customer-data.xml");
JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance("examples.ox.model);
Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
Customer customer = (Customer) unmarshaller.unmarshal(file);
System.out.println(" customer.getFirstName() : "+customer.getFirstName());
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Error: "+ e.toString());
As mentioned earlier it falls over on JAXBContext.newInstance("examples.ox.model);
cheers
Nick

Hi Blaise,
thanks for your response.
My session.xml file is located:
D:\Toplink\demo\classes\session.xml
And contains:

My classpath references only jars downloaded with the links on the How To tutorial titled Oracle TopLink Object-to-XML on OTN (link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/preview/10.1.3dp3/howto/ox/index.htm)
This is the JDev output indicating the classpath and error:

Any more suggestions?
In the meantime I will go through the information on the link that you have sent and see if I can get anyfurther.

Printing issue in Commercial Invoice Report for Oracle Reports Version 6i

Hello All,
I am working on modifying rdf for Commercial Invoice i.e. WSHRDINV.rdf for Oracle Apps Version 11.0.3 to display Customer Part and Customer PO as the seeded report do not print Customer Po and Customer Part in its output. I am done with the modification too but I am getting a minor issue regarding Printing the Customer Po and Customer Part. As per the requirement i need to switch the places of Customer Po and Customer Part. But when I switch its places and when only Customer PO is available against a Order Number, the Customer PO is getting printed in place of Customer Part. I tried changing its properties too. But still getting printed in place of Customer Part.
Here, Customer Part is under different group and Customer PO is under different group. And Customer Part repeating frame comes under Customer PO repeating Frame.
Can anyone please suggest why Customer PO is getting printed in place of Customer Item when only Customer PO is against a Order Number and not Customer Part.
Thank You

Hi Gregor
i am using the Developer 9.0.4 and i too have the same problem. i have seen your posting and made the required changes as required. but here my page sizes differs in my case
i have mainly 3 sizes
1. Width = 8" (77)
Height = 6 " (36)
2. Width = 9" (84)
Height = 8 " (48)
3. Width = 11" (90)
Height = 6 " (36)
i have used the dflt file and created the replica of those with the required sizes. i have no problem as such with the width of the print. But height of the paper size is not taken as required. its by default taking the paper size as width = 9" (80) and height = 12" (72)
Can u let me know how to get the desired output of mine.

Sources for package oracle.toplink.internal.expressions in version 10.1.3.5

Hi there,
I just downloaded file toplink_101350.zip from Oracle and in folder \toplink\jlib it has a file called toplink-src.zip. When I look at jar file toplink.jar it contains much more packages like oracle.toplink.internal.expressions that in the source file.
Now where can I get the full oracle toplink source?
Thanks.

Joao

Hi,
the web appears to be full of such error messages and some point to the use of named native query vs. named query. So here are some options for you to try
1. Create a test project in 11g using the same tables and compare the generated code with yours to see a difference
2. Get a 10.1.3.5 project that you haven't migrated and pass it on to customer support for them to have a try on this.
+"If this is not resolved, we can not chose Jdeveloper as a future IDE at the company..."+ Actually it doesn't appear to be a JDeveloper issue but a TopLink / EclipseLink issue. Abandoning JDeveloper is like shooting the messenger. Just so you know.

Toplink Version with Bug# 3617882 (SESSION NULL IN EXCEPTIONHANDLER)'s fix?

We're using Toplink v9.0.4.2 and are experiencing the same issue detailed in Bug# 3617882 on Metalink. According to this bug's status, it has been fixed in v9.0.4.4 (around July 2004 timeframe). I downloaded Toplink v9.0.4.5 installer from Oracle web site (http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/904topsoft.html). But jars installed with that one are exactly the same as the ones we currently have in 9.0.4.2.
Where can I find the right Toplink Version that has this bug's fix? Please reply.
Thanks in advance,
-Manjula

Hello Manjula,
I would try getting the latest 9.0.4 TopLink patchset, which is 9.0.4.8 available from Metalink under patch# 4499114 .
When you ran the TopLink 10g installer, did you run with the jars it installed? If so, what was the version number it printed off in the logs? I have checked that the toplink.jar file installed is TopLink version 9.0.4.5, so I'm not sure what you mean when you say the jars are the same.
Best Regards,
Chris

Is the stack the same? There must be at least one thread that has the lock and is waiting on another resource to have a deadlock, could you include its stack.
What type of sequencing are you using, table or native (sequence object)?
Are you using JTA, and have you set a non-JTA read connection pool?
If you are using table sequencing and JTA, what could be occuring is a database deadlock on the sequence table. Some solution would be:
- Use native sequencing (sequence objects).
- Specify a sequence connection pool on your TopLink ServerSession using a non-JTA datasource or TopLink direct-JDBC connection pool.
You may also want to try using the TopLink 11g preview, it may not encounter the issue.

NullPointerException with Toplink version 9.0.4.4

Dear All,
We are using Toplink version 9.0.4.4 jar for one of our live application.
Ours is a Java application connected to Oracle DB with the above mentioned toplink jar in the application server.
Currently we are facing the following issue.
java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.toplink.mappings.DirectToFieldMapping.compareObjects(DirectToFieldMapping.java:154)
at oracle.toplink.mappings.DirectToFieldMapping.compareForChange(DirectToFieldMapping.java:136)
We are not facing this issue on all scenarios. But unable to figure our when this issue is triggered.
From one of the forum we saw that version 9.0.4.5 might solve this issue.
We tried replacing the jar but the result is not fruitful. We still have the issue.
On higher end this is how our Objects are mapped.
Database Side
==============
Employee - Primary Table
Employee Details - Secondary table with relation to Employee table.
          One to many relation with Employee
Java Side
===========
Employee.java
EmployeeDetails.java
Employee.java contains list of Employee Details.
Process Flow
==============
1. Read the Employee details from the Database. Employee Object is populated and the same is used to Display the details
in the application screen
2. User modified the Emplohyee details in the Screen
3. Build EmployeeAmendDTO from Employee Object along with the modified data from Screen using HTTPRequest object
4. Read the Employee Object again from the DB and register it for Update.
5. Logic has been written in Java to check EmployeeAmendDTO against Employee Object and populate Employee Object with
additional information from the EmployeeAmendDTO.
6. In this process the EmployeeDetails List within the Employee Object is also set.
     Code snippet from Employee Object
     EmployeeDetailsList.add(EmployeeDetails);
     EmployeeDetails.setEmployee(this);
7. Employee Object which is registed for update should update the records.
The code works very fine while we comment the EmployeeDetailsList.add(EmployeeDetails); code in java.
But this is very much required as we need to save the Employee Details as well.
Below is the relationship maintained for Employee and EmployeeDetails in Toplink.
In Employee the EmployeeDetails are set in one-to-many relations where Bidirectional Relationship is enabled. In the EmployeeDetails bidirectional relationship is not enabled for EmployeeHolder which is holder for the Employeeobject.
Note:- The application is in use since 2005 and we have just modified few code here and there to include new parametes to
the Employee and EmployeeDetails.

Hello,
9.0.4.x is rather old and I'd recommend trying a later version such as 10 or 11 if possible. I'd also recommend filing a support case as they will probably need to go through the old and new mappings and the details of how you are building Employee and EmployeeDetails objects from EmployeeAmendDTO, which would be difficult to look at through a forum post.
What will be needed is the full stack, the portion of the log that shows the app first reading in Employee and then trying to commit the changes with logging on finest (if possible). The error hopefully shows the mapings involved in the problem that may issolate which objects will need to be looked at.
Best Regards,
Chris

Anything fixed in Oracle TopLink 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) ?

Was there anything fixed in Oracle TopLink 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) ?
I don't see anything in release notes ( http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/toplink/doc/11110/relnotes/toplink-relnotes.html ) regarding fixes. Anybody know where I can get that info? We have run into a couple of issues in the previous 11g release (11.1.1.0.1) and want to know if those issues have been addressed in the new release.
Thanks!

The two major areas of work in 11gR1 (11.1.1.1.0) are enhancements to EclipseLink included with the its 1.1.1 release as well as enhancements around TopLink Grid (JPA-Coherence integration).
The EclipseLink 1.1.1 fixes are documented here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Release/1.1.1

Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version to fix a vulnerability

Hi, I don't know how to find a specific security patch to apply to my Oracle database version 11.2.0.2.0 (on windows server 2003 32 bits) to fix the following vulnerability:
Risk: High
Application: oracle_tnslsnr
Port: 1521
Protocol: tcp
Synopsis:
It is possible to register with a remote Oracle TNS listener.
Description:
The remote Oracle TNS listener allows service registration from a remote host. An attacker can exploit this issue to divert data from a
legitimate database server or client to an attacker-specified system.
Successful exploits will allow the attacker to manipulate database instances, potentially facilitating man-in-the-middle, sessionhijacking,
or denial of service attacks on a legitimate database server.
Solution:
Apply the work-around in Oracle's advisory.
Thank you for your help

that sounds like the "tns poison" vulnerability. CVE 2012-1675 - Oracle Security Alert CVE-2012-1675

Migration path from 10.1.3.3.0 to Oracle TopLink 11g: Technical Preview 2 ?

What is needed to migrate from 10.1.3.3.0 to Oracle TopLink 11g Preview 2?
Does using Java 5 and swapping the Jar files are enough?
Can I use as is all the configurations generated by TopLink Workbench 10.1.3.3.0?
What is working in 10.1.3.3.0 that is not yet or will not be working in Oracle TopLink 11g?

If you open the project in the 11g preview it will automatically update the metadata and generate the deployment XML in the new format. Alternatively you should be able to open the 10.1.3.3 metadata in the 11g preview's runtime.
The biggest issue you may encounter in the upgrade besides replacing the libraries and ensuring you are using JDK5 is the removal of the code deprecated in previous releases.

Installing Oracle 9i (version 9.0.1) on RedHat Linux 7.2

Hi All,
I've been trying to install Oracle 9i version 9.0.1 on RedHat
Linux 7.2 with kernel 2.4.7-10. This RH 7.2 is running on my
Compaq Armada M700 laptop that has 800MHz CPU and 256MB of RAM.
I have 10GB of diskspace on this laptop.
Someone in this group posted a howto on how to install Oracle 9i
on RedHat Linux 7.2 but for some reasons, Oracle Universal Installer
still hangs at 74% of the installation. Here is what I did:
1) Install RH 7.2 on the laptop. I also make sure that make, ar,
ld, nm and C for unix got installed when I installed RH 7.2.
I also verify by using the command "which make", "which ar",
"which ld" and "which nm" and they are also in the /usr/bin
directory. I also make the /tmp partition to be 800MB and
the swap file to be 500MB,
2) Modify the /etc/hosts file. This part is easy. I can ping
both the hostname, FQDN and the IP address of the laptop from
both locally and remotely (tested with SSH connection),
3) Go to blackdown.org and download jdk118_v3
4) Uncompress and put it in the /usr/local/jdk118_v3 directory,
5) Make a softlink ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java
6) Download and install package:
rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
7) In /proc/sys/kernel/sem file, I modify the third column from 32 to 128,
8) Download and install package:
rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9.i386.rpm
9) Download Linux9i_Disk1.cpio, Linux9i_Disk2.cpio and Linux9i_Disk1.cpio
to my laptop hard-drive,
10)Run cpio -idmv < Linux9i_Disk1.cpio (for 2 and 3 well),
11)Create a user account "oracle". This "oracle" account belongs to
group "oracle". Furthermore, I also create a directory /oracle
and change the owner and group permission to account "oracle"
12)Start the installer ( as Oracle User ) by typing ./runinstaller
13)The installer will ask you to run a started script as root ,
you may open a shell and type su then open Nautilus (
if using Gnome or File manager as super user if using KDE )
and drag the noted file to the shell screen and press enter,
after it is ended continue with the installer (done),
14)It asked to supply JDK home directory then it is /usr/local/java (done)
15)Unix group Name ( to update Oracle software ) : (I leave blank here)
16)Oracle home is : /oracle/9.0.1
/oracle/orainventory
From what the poster said, it should work; however, it did NOT work
for me. I've tried and tried but no avail. I have plenty of disk
space so I don't think space is an issue here.
Please help.

3) Go to blackdown.org and download jdk118_v3
4) Uncompress and put it in the /usr/local/jdk118_v3 directory,
5) Make a softlink ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java
6) Download and install package:
rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
7) In /proc/sys/kernel/sem file, I modify the third column from 32 to 128,
8) Download and install package:
rpm -Uvh force nodeps binutils-2.11.90.0.8-9.i386.rpm
9) Download Linux9i_Disk1.cpio, Linux9i_Disk2.cpio and Linux9i_Disk1.cpio
to my laptop hard-drive,
10)Run cpio -idmv < Linux9i_Disk1.cpio (for 2 and 3 well),
11)Create a user account "oracle". This "oracle" account belongs to
group "oracle". Furthermore, I also create a directory /oracle
and change the owner and group permission to account "oracle"
12)Start the installer ( as Oracle User ) by typing ./runinstaller
13)The installer will ask you to run a started script as root ,
you may open a shell and type su then open Nautilus (
if using Gnome or File manager as super user if using KDE )
and drag the noted file to the shell screen and press enter,
after it is ended continue with the installer (done),
14)It asked to supply JDK home directory then it is /usr/local/java (done)
15)Unix group Name ( to update Oracle software ) : (I leave blank here)
16)Oracle home is : /oracle/9.0.1
/oracle/orainventory
From what the poster said, it should work; however, it did NOT work
for me. I've tried and tried but no avail. I have plenty of disk
space so I don't think space is an issue here.
Please help.

EclipseLink's home page is at,
http://www.eclipselink.org
You can download the latest milestone from there, and get access to the status and documentation on the Wiki.
The API is the same, but the package names are different. You can run the Package Renamer to migrate your code to the new packages (long time TopLink users should be familiar with this :) ).
