Performance issue on Java Stored Procedure

I have converted the Stored Procedures into JSP with SQLJ. I
loaded the classes (not the source) onto Oracle 8i Database and
published within tbe stored packages. What I found out was the
performance is about 12 times on average slower than the PL/SQL
stored packages when I made calls to JSP. I am not surprise JSP
is slower than PL/SQL but can we improve by tunning the Java
codings or VM within the 8i database?

all user written java code in the 8i rdbms is currently running
as bytecode in the jvm.
a future release will provide a component called "Native Compiler
[NCOMP]" so it should run considerably faster then.

Performance problem with java stored procedure

hi,
i developped a java class, then I stored it in Oracle 8.1.7.
This class contains several import of other classes stored in the database.
It works, but the execution perfomances are disappointing. It's very long. I guess, that's because of the great number of classes to load that are necessary for my class execution.
I tried to increase the size of the java pool (I parameter 70 Mo in the java_pool_size parameter of the init.ora), but the performance is not much better.
Has anyone an idea to increase the performance of this execution of my class ?
In particular, is there a way to keep permanently in memory the java objects used by my class ?
Thanks in advance

before running Java, the database session needs to be Java enabled; this might be the reason why it is taking so long. If this is the case, you should see an improvement in subsequent calls, once a database session is Java enabled, other users can benefit from it.

I have some performance issue with java stored procedure. Hope some one will be able to help me out. I'm using java stored procedures in my application and basically these procedures are used to do some validation and form the XML message of the database tables. I have noticed that when I call the PL/SQL wrapper function, it is taking time to load the java class and once the class is loaded the execution is faster. Most of the time is spent for loading the class rather than executing the function. if I reduce the class load time, I can improve the performance drastically. Do any one of you know how to reduce the class load time. The following are the platform and oracle version.

URGENT: Java stored procedure on oracle 92 database is not working

Hi,
I am having an issue regarding java stored procedures. I have created a java class that uses the bouncycastleprovider ( bcprov-jdk13-141.jar ) to encrypt strings. I tested against the version of the java virtual machine that comes bundled with oracle and it works perfectly. I then used JDeveloper to load the class on the database with the resolve, noverify and order flags checked and it shows no errors but when I try to execute the stored procedure it throws the following exception:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError:
java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot set up certs for trusted CAs: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: US_export_policy.jar
at javax.crypto.SunJCE_b.<clinit>(DashoA6275)
at javax.crypto.Cipher.a(DashoA6275)
at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA6275)
at RijndaelEnhanced.encrypt(RijndaelEnhanced.java:57)
at RijndaelEnhanced.encrypt(RijndaelEnhanced.java:73)
I loaded jce1_2_2.jar, sunjce_provider.jar, bcprov-jdk13-141.jar. Also replaced the US_export_policy.jar, local_policy.jar with the unrestrictive version. I add the security provider dinamically with a call to Security.insertProviderAt(new org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider(), 2);
I also did a select on the user_objects table and all the classes are in VALID status.
When I run my application using the java virtual machine that is located under C:\Oracle\oracli9i\jdk\jre\bin directory it works fine but when I try to execute on the database it won't work. I found a bug that was if the jce1_2_1.jar file existed in the C:\Oracle\oracli9i\jdk\jre\lib\ext directory ( even if it's extension is renamed ) it won't work because the certification file had expired but I don't know if this has anything to do with this error.
Am I missing something?
Please I need an urgent solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. Actually I have seen that post before creating this thread. I thought that I could make use of java mail to work around this problem. I created a java class that succesfully sends mail to SSL host. I tried to call this java class from pl-sql through java stored procedure. That did not work
So, is this not supported in Oracle ? Please note that I have tested this in both 9i and 11g , in both the versions I got the error. You can refer to the code in the above post.

Java stored procedures performance ....

I am currently evaluating the use of Java stored procedures, but
have so far found the performance to be incredibly poor. If I
write a simple piece of SQL to insert 1 row to a 2 column table
via a standalone JDBC application, the average elapsed time over
5 runs is approx 24 milliseconds. If I move the same piece of
code to a Java stored procedure, the elapsed time increases (on
average) to 28 seconds ! Surely this shouldn't be the case; I
had expected the performance to increase rather than plummet as
is the case. The DBA team cannot find anything amiss in the
database, & we are basically scratching our heads as to what the
problem is. Is there something fundamental that needs to be done
the database for a Java implementation ??
ANY IDEAS ANYONE ???????
nb: database ver 8.1.5, running on Solaris 5.7

Paul.

Try running long queries. In 8.1.6, we are concentrating more
on increasing the performance of JDBC driver inside the server.

Issue with Oracle.sql.NUMBER in Java Stored Procedure

When we try to make a call to the Oracle.sql.NUMBER(String) inside a java stored procedure and pass values from '01' to '09', it throws java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 3
We use Oracle 9.2.0.6 - JServer Release 9.2.0.6.0.
It works fine for other values. Please find below the code used for simulating the issue outside the application. Thanks.
create or replace and compile java source named testNumber as
import oracle.sql.NUMBER;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class TestNumber
       public static String convertNumber(String parm) {
                 NUMBER nTest;
                 try {
                         nTest = new NUMBER(parm);
                         return "TRUE";
                 }catch (SQLException sqle) {
                         return "FALSE";
create or replace function test_number (p_str in varchar2) return varchar2 as
language Java name 'TestNumber.convertNumber(java.lang.String) return
java.lang.String';
select test_number('05') from dual; - Throws exception ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 3
select test_number('5') from dual; - Works fine
select test_number('010') from dual; - Works fine

Siva,
I'm only guessing, but it could be an Oracle bug, in which case I suggest checking with Oracle Support.
(You do have a support contract, don't you? ;-)
Did you try compiling and running your java class "TestNumber" outside the database?
Class "oracle.sql.NUMBER" should be in Oracle's JDBC driver, I believe.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Issue with XSL transformation in Java Stored Procedure

Hi,
Am having issue applying XSL transformation in Java Stored procedure. I have loaded the java class as well as .XSL files through loadjava uility and their status in DB is VALID.
Below is the code in the java stored procedure:
public static String tranform(String strInputXML ){
URL url = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource(first.xsl);
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream (strInputXML.getBytes("UTF-8")));
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
StreamSource stylesource = new StreamSource(url.openStream());
Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(stylesource);
When I run this procedure, am getting following errors:
{color:#ff0000}*ERROR: 'No such file or directory'*
FATAL ERROR: 'Could not compile stylesheet'{color}
My first.xsl file has reference to other excel file (Ex: <xsl:include href="second.xsl"/>) which seems to be causing this error. When I remove the reference, procedure is working fine.
Pls let me know how to resolve this and read the .XSL file with references.
Thanks,

Java Stored Procedure calling HTTP Servlet in Weblogic

I am currently working on an e-commerce application for a brick-n-mortar electronics store. The store currently has an Oracle database that contains all of the products the store sells. The e-commerce site will have a separate Oracle database. Both database are Oracle 9i release 2 databases. The e-commerce site will be using BEA's Weblogic as its application server. I need to move data from the store db into the e-commerce db. The actual moving of the data is not the issue. The issue comes from needing to call several methods on a Stateless Session EJB, loaded on the Weblogic server, to perform backend processing. I wanted to make a JNDI call from a Java Stored Procedure but with Release 2, this option is no longer supported. The release notes (http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/htdocs/9idb2_java.html) indicated that the JVM now supports calling out to Servlets using HTTP Client from a Java Stored Procedure.
Has anyone done this? Is there any sample code available?
Thanks for any help.

Help with use of Java Stored Procedures to invoke Java Code within Applicat

Good afternoon everyone
Our development team is looking for some assistance/validation of a design strategy we are deploying for a client. Let me first layout the environment and then the design issue at hand:
Business User Workstation component: Oracle SQL*Developer 1.5.x
Reporting Tool: Actuate e.Spreadsheet A10
Application Web UI: J2EE application developed with Eclipse
Application Scripting: Application has a scripting component whereby business users can write Oracle PL/SQL to perform many of the functions that are available in the Web UI, but can be batched up or repeated several times.
Application Server WebLogic 9.2.3 (client constraint)
Database Serve: Oracle 11g, Release 11.1.0.7
Lots of other stuff included but irrelevant for this conversation.
Here's the scenario in question:
1.     Through the scripting solution, the application user must use PL/SQL to invoke functionality within the Web UI. All PL/SQL that the application user creates does not contain any SQL. Instead our security model mandates that “pre-defined” routines will perform all of the SQL operations against the database; the application user simply invokes the stored procedures of functions to perform activities in the database.
2.     There is a component of the scripting application that facilitates the creation of reports. In our application, we are using Actuate’s e.Spreadsheet Engine to create the report and format the report based on a template. The template is provided as input, as well as other data items, into Actuate for processing. The net result is the report is created by the Actuate e.Spreadsheet engine in pdf format and then sent back to the user for distribution to other users in the company.
3.     The Actuate e.Spreadsheet engine consists of one or more JAR files within the Application Server framework. The Web UI utilizes these JAR files as well to perform report generation and data manipulation activities. In the case of the reporting functionality, the pdf report that is generated by Actuate is returned into either the Web UI or into the scripting component for persistence in the database. The mechanism exists to create multi-step jobs that can create multiple reports in one run.
4.     So to facilitate the above, we are creating one or more Java Stored Procedures that will mediate the communication between the PL/SQL the user’s create and the Java components that are required for business processing. PL/SQL will invoke one or more Java Stored Procedures. Then the Java Stored Procedures invoke Actuate e.Spreadsheet, generate the report, saves the report in the database and returns control back to the invoking procedure.
So the question is: Is this a viable and correct use of Oracle Java Stored Procedures. What are the advantages/disadvantages of doing so? Any security issues or potholes that you can think of? Tuning issues for the JVMs? Any white papers that you can think of?
For any Oracle employees that respond, material such as Oracle Whitepapers, etc. would be great.
I can be contacted at (313) 227-4350 or at [email protected]
Thanks in advance.

So are you planning on loading the entire e.Spreadsheet engine into the database server's JVM?
If so, I would expect that to work, but I expect that you'd have some performance issues. I'd expect that the process of building these PDFs is going to be relatively expensive. Tuning the database server's JVM tends to be rather more challenging than tuning JVM's in an app server.
If not, I'm not sure how the Java stored procedure would invoke the e.Spreadsheet engine on the application server. It is possible to use Oracle AQ to send a JMS message, but I don't think you can use the standard J2EE JMS APIs-- I think you'd have to use Oracle's AQ interface.

Transactional file output from a Java Stored Procedure invoked by trigger.

I need to write information to a file from a Java Stored
Procedure which is called from an insert trigger. This works OK
except for the condition when a rollback is performed - the file
is updated anyway.
I need the Java Stored Procedure file output to be part of the
transaction - performed on commit and skipped on rollback. Is
there any way the Java Stored Procedure can be aware of the
state of the transaction?

i am Still facing the following problem:
if i pass a parameter like :
rm -f /test/menu.ksh
then the required output is that the menu.ksh file gets deleted.
but when i pass this command:
./test/menu.ksh
It is supposed to execute the specified script but it does not.
I have tried multiple things like giving chmod 777 rights to the following file and changing the command to /test/menu.ksh but nothing happens
Can you kindly tell me what can the problem be. Is there any execution rights issue: i am executing these scripts from pl sql developer.
You can find both the procedure and java method which is being called below

Calling JPA from a Java Stored Procedure

Is it possible to call JPA from a java stored procedure? If so, does anyone have example? How do you setup the persistence.xml?
How does the peformance compare with straight JDBC in a java stored procedure?
Thanks for any help!
Johnny

Hi Johnny:
Basically you can run any JDK 1.5 framework inside your Oracle 11g JVM, I have experience integrating Lucene IR library as a new [Domain Index for Oracle 11g/10g|http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddgw7sjp_54fgj9kg] .
I am not familiar with JPA internals but my advice is howto handle the connection inside the OJVM and the configuration files.
Some time ago I took a look to SpringFramework integration and I found that writing a new ApplicationContext class which handles the loading of beans.xml from XMLDB repository instead a file should be enough to work.
Another important point is the life cycle of the [Oracle internal JVM|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/java.112/e10588/chtwo.htm#BABHGJFI]. Unlike an standard JVM the OJVM is created once you first connect from the middle tier at OCI level and remains in execution during the connection pool existence.
I mean, if you connect using a JDBC pool the JVM will remains running across multiple soft open/close connections of your middle tier application. This is good because you can read your persistence.xml file using a Singleton class and this expensive operation will be re-used by multiple open/close operation done from the middle tier.
I suggest you do a simple Proof of Concept with a Hello World application and check if it works.
Remember that any security issues will be notified to the .trc files, security issues are related to the strong security layer configured by default inside the OJVM, for example you can not read any files from the OS file system without an specific grant, you need another grant to access to the class loader and so on, but you can simply grant this specific needs to a database role and then grant this role to the user which connect to the OJVM.
Another important point is related to the [End-of-Call Optimization|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/java.112/e10588/chtwo.htm#BABIFAAI] this can be useful if you want to perform some clean up in your Singleton class at the level of per-statement execution.
Best regards, Marcelo

ORA-04030: out of process memory when using Java Stored Procedures

Hello,
I have a problem using Java Stored Procedures in Oracle 10g.
My Java application performs http posts to a webservice and the response is parsed in order to populate some DB tables.
There is a scheduled job which calls the Java Stored Procedure every x minutes.
No matter of the 'x minutes' values - after about 160 - 200 calls I get this error:
ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 1048620 bytes (joxp heap,f:OldSpace)
ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 2097196 bytes (joxp heap,f:OldSpace)
The job stops just while is posting the http request. The weird thing is that almost each time the first http post request I get this error:

4. I checked the http connection to be closed each time, and this is done.
5. I checked the oracle statement and connection to be closed each time and this is done
6. The JVM error (logged in .trc files of Oracle) is:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Can be a problem with JVM threading under Oracle ?

The server prcess failed to allocate more memory for large objects ( in Oldspace).
If you Google ORA-04030, you will see several recommendations to work around this.
The Java VM in the database already has HttpClient, i don't know why you are loading the Apache HttpClient but this might not be the surce of the problem.

Speed test: PL/SQL vs. Java Stored Procedures

I performed tests on these two procedures:
===========================================
// Create a Statement
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement (ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
// Query the table
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("select SIFOB, SIFRA_GU from sezko");
while (rset.next ()) {
salary = rset.getInt(1);
rset.updateInt (1, salary + 1);
salary = rset.getInt(2);
rset.updateInt (2, salary + 1);
rset.updateRow();
} // while
conn.commit();
// Close the RseultSet
rset.close();
// Close the Statement
stmt.close();
===========================================
procedure updateTable is
cursor c_updateTable is select rowid, SIFOB, SIFRA_GU from sezko;
begin
for r_updateTable in c_updateTable loop
update sezko set SIFOB = SIFOB + 1, SIFRA_GU = SIFRA_GU + 1 where rowid = r_updateTable.rowid;
end loop;
commit;
end;
===========================================
First procedure is written in Java (as Java Stored procedure) and second is PL/SQL.
Java is about 10x slower than PL/SQL code.
Can you explain bad performance results?
thank you
Matic & Ales

Hi,
I suppose the problem is not with the connection object,but with make connection to the database for every executeupdate or executeupdaterow called .Similarly for fetching the data from the database you
can use the fetch size technique.Please check the 8.1.6 Java Developers guide for using this.
Update Batching(For Batch updates and commits)
Fetch Size(For Batch fetching)

Java stored procedure vs. PL-SQL vs. external java program

Hi,
I'm using a stored procedure for running a query and a few consequent updates. Currently I'm using Java stored procedure for that, which was my choice for simplicity on one hand, and running with the DB on the other.
In my tests, strangely enough it came out that running as java stored procedure was 3-4 times slower than running as a java program outside the database. I don't know how to explain this, and I wonder if switching to PL/SQL will improve the performance of the code.
Any experiences? recommendations?
Thanks,
Dawg

In my tests, strangely enough it came out that running as java stored procedure was 3-4 times slower than running as a java program outside the database. I don't know how to explain this, and I wonder if switching to PL/SQL will improve the performance of the code.This isn't strange at all. See: Oracle's JVM (Aurora) is an independent Java Virtual Machine implementation, in accordance to specification. It implements all necessary parts of it (I think so). When you use an external JVM (I assume it's Sun's HotSpot JVM) you use completely different product. It is implemented in different way, it has many different code parts.
One of the biggest differences between Oracle's JVM and Sun's JVM is [Just-in-Time compiler|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation]. Oracle has implemented it only in the 11g version of database, i.e. 2 years ago, while Sun performed it back in 2000 and continues to improve it for the last 9 years. That would explain obvious differences between Java program inside and outside the DB: they are executed in absolutely different worlds. Diffs could be up to 10x times or more - that's not unusual.
If you are on 10g and want to compare performance of stored Java procedure vs external program, then you might use additional command-line instruction for external program to disable JIT:
-XintPS. I wouldn't use Java for your task - that's a total overkill. Use simple SP instead.

Executing batch file from Java stored procedure hang

Dears,
I'm using the following code to execute batch file from Java Stored procedure, which is working fine from Java IDE JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.
public static String runFile(String drive)
String result = "";
String content = "echo off\n" + "vol " + drive + ": | find /i \"Serial Number is\"";
try {
File directory = new File(drive + ":");
File file = File.createTempFile("bb1", ".bat", directory);
file.deleteOnExit();
FileWriter fw = new java.io.FileWriter(file);
fw.write(content);
fw.close();
// The next line is the command causing the problem
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c " + file.getPath());
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
result += line;
input.close();
file.delete();
result = result.substring( result.lastIndexOf( ' ' )).trim();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
result = e.getClass().getName() + " : " + e.getMessage();
return result;
The above code is used in getting the volume of a drive on windows, something like "80EC-C230"
I gave the SYSTEM schema the required privilege to execute the code.
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read ,write, execute, delete');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
GRANT JAVAUSERPRIV TO SYSTEM;
I have used the following to load the class in Oracle 9ir2 DB:
loadjava -u [system/******@orcl|mailto:system/******@orcl] -v -resolve C:\Server\src\net\dev\Util.java
CREATE FUNCTION A1(drive IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'net.dev.Util.a1(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
The problem that it hangs when I execute the call to the function (I have indicated the line causing the problem in a comment in the code).
I have seen similar problems on other forums, but no solution posted
[http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-jdeveloper-l/run-an-exe-file-using-oracle-database-trigger-1567662]
I have posted this in JDeveloper forum ([t-853821]) but suggested to post for forum in DB.
Can anyne help?

Dear Peter,
You are totally right, I got this as mistake copy paste. I'm just having a Java utility for running external files outside Oracle DB, this is the method runFile()
I'm passing it the content of script and names of file to be created on the fly and executed then deleted, sorry for the mistake in creating caller function.
The main point, how I claim that the line in code where creating external process is the problem. I have tried the code with commenting this line and it was working ok, I made this to make sure of the permission required that I need to give to the schema passing security permission problems.
The function script is running perfect if I'm executing vbs script outside Oracle using something like "cscript //NoLogo aaa1.vbs", but when I use the command line the call just never returns to me "cmd.exe /c bb1.bat".
where content of bb1.bat as follows:
echo off
vol C: | find /i "Serial Number is"
The above batch file just get the serial number of hard drive assigned when windows formatted HD.
Same code runs outside Oracle just fine, but inside Oracle doesn't return if I exectued the following:
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
Never returns
Thanks for tracing teh issue to that details ;) hope you coul help.
