PL/SQL Packages Metadata in XML

How can I generate an XML file describing packages metadata (packages/procedures/parameters) ?
My goal is to develop an utility that would generate some DB access code (in the way OO4O does). And I'm going to use XML/XSLT for it.

I forgot to mention I was developing agains 8i. I've written OraOLEDB + JavaScript solution that met my needs.
Thank you anyway.

Passing / parsing XML String IN / OUT from PL / SQL package

Hello, People !
I am wondering where can I find exact info (with code sample) about following :
We use Oracle 8.1.6 and 8.1.7. I need to pass an XML String (could be from VARCHAR2 to CLOB) from VB 6.0 to PL/SQL package. Then I need to use built in PL/SQL XML parser to parse given string (could be large hierarchy of nodes)
and the return some kind of cursor thru I can loop and insert data into
different db Tables. (The return value may have complex parent/child data relationship - so I am not sure If this should be a cursor)
I looked online many site for related info - can't find what I am looking
for - seems like should be a common question.
Thanx a lot !

How to call a PL/SQL procedure from a xml Data Template

We have a requirement in which we need to call a pl/sql package.(dot)procedure from a Data Template of XML Publisher.
we have registered a Data Template & a RTF Template in the XML Publisher Responsibility in the Oracle 11.5.10 instance(Front End).
In the Data Query part of the Data Template , we have to get the data from a Custom View.
This view needs to be populated by a PL/SQL procedure.And this procedure needs to be called from this Data Template only.
Can anybody suggest the solution.
Thanks,
Sachin

Call the procecure in the After Parameter Form trigger, which can be scripted in the Data Template.
BTW, there is a specialized XML Publisher forum:

The -dataSource parameter in assemble a web service from a PL/SQL package

When I use Web Service Assembler to assemble a Web Service from a PL/SQL package, I need to specify the dataSource parameter, e.g.:
java -jar wsa.jar -plsqlAssemble -sql pkgname -dataSource jdbc/MyDS -dbConnection ... -dbUser scott/tiger ....
The dataSource also needs to be pre-configured in the data-sources.xml in OC4J.
I am wondering why dataSource is needed here because the database connection information is already specified on the commandline ( dbConnection and dbUser).
If I have to specify dataSource, how do I configure data-sources.xml dynamically at run-time (e.g., adding entries)?
Thanks,
Jim

The -dataSource parameter specifies the data-sources.xml entry used at runtime. The database connection info is only for design time use. Typically you make sure data-sources.xml contains an entry with jndi-location of the same name you specifies for -dataSource. To configure data-sources.xml at runtime, it is out of the scope of web services. Please refer to OC4J admin guide. You can probably modify the data-sources.xml file and force OC4J to reconfigure based on the new data-sources.xml file.

Hi,
there are a lot of option to make plsql web services .
First you can stay with jdev 10.1.3
Use the xmldb servlets
use jdev 11g tp4 to create plsql ws and upgrade to jdev 11g production
And I think in the next release of jdev it will be back , there are more options which disappeared like the adf bc sdo ws or jmx datacontrol etc.
thanks Edwin

Creating Web services using JDeveloper for Pl/SQL package having ref cursor

Hi,
I am trying to create web services for PL/SQL package in JDeveloper. When I am trying to create this web service, the functions in the package which is returning referential cursor or record cursor are not visible. When I highlight the function and click "Why Not?", it displays the message "The following types used by the program unit do not have an XML schema mapping and/or serializer Specified: REF CURSOR". Could you please let me know, how I can create this web service?
I am getting similar error when I am trying to create web service for a package with overloaded functions also.
Thanks,

Ok so I played around with this some more. I created the same process in bpel using oracle bpel designer and here are the results.
1. Against 10g database running a synch process data is retutned without error.
2. Against 9i database running an asynch process data is retutned without error.
3. Against 9i database running a synch process data is retutned with error.
I'm definilty missing something.

Using the DBMS_XDBRESOURCE PL/SQL package

Does anyone know how to use the functions in the DBMS_XDBRESOURCE package? I've tried to use the GETCREATIONDATE function but no luck. I usually get a "PLS-00221: 'GETCREATIONDATE' is not a procedure or is undefined"
The 11g PL/SQL packages and type reference describes it as such:
Given an XDBResource, this function returns its creation date.
Syntax:
DBMS_XDBRESEROUCE.GETCREATIONDATE (
res IN XDBResource)
RETURN TIMESTAMP;
Notice the misspelling, which is confusing enough. However, I have no idea how to make an XDBResource object. I've tried the path to the resource as well as the RAW resource ID.
I'm doing this in SQL*Plus, and just want to see if I get the same timestamp that I would see when I browse the object in the XML Repository.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, that works. I remember reading this in the developer's guide, but forgot about it when I did a describe on resource_view and I didn't see any date elements.
Since you mentioned events, and since I will be using them to perform some action, what are the best events to use when a new file is added or an existing one is updated? I haven't digested all the information in the events chapter, but Post-Create and Post-Update are obvious, but I want to make sure it's a valid XML file before anything is triggered.

Creating WS from a pl/sql package (return ref_cursor) on a 9i database

Howdy,
I can create and deploy a ws built from pl/sql package on a 9i database that returns a ref_cursor. When I test it via my app server it throws the following:

If I run a similar ws built on a 10g database there is no error. What am I missing?
Jdeveloper: 10.1.3.3
9i Database: 9.2.0.6
10g Database: 10.2.0.2.0
Oracle AS Control: 10.1.3.1.0

EclipseLink-Redeploying a DBWS WS on PL/SQL package after changing return

Issue concerning: EclipseLink 2.4.1 (DBWS) on WebLogic
Hi,
I've created a DBWS webservice based on a Oracle (10g) PL/SQL package, by using EclipseLink DBWS builder. The PL/SQL function exposed as a webservice call has a Object type return type, e.g.:
create or replace type eclipse_type as
object
num number
create or replace package test_eclipselink_pkg as
function test return eclipse_type;
end;
As I understand it, EclipseLink-DBWS translates this Oracle object type to an Java type when calling the PL/SQL function over JDBC and translates the Java object to XML to be encapsulated in a SOAP message.
The problem is that when changing the specification of the return type (e.g. changing the name of the field num to nmb in the Oracle type eclipse_type) of the Oracle PL/SQL function, regenerating the webservice (WAR-file) with DBWS builder and redeploying it on WebLogic 10.3.6, calling the webservice results in a java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException.
Restarting the WebLogic server (or the appropriate managed server) resolves the problem, what shouldn't be a problem in a development environment, but is not always possible in a production environment.
The problem seems to be that redeploying the webservice doesn't result in the XR Operations/Queries being recreated and as a result the old result type definition is used.
Has anybody a solution for this problem?
Kind regards,
Jan

Hi,
I checked the logging while redeploying the WAR file. This part of the output seems to indicate, as you suggested, that the EcliipseLink session is not correctly logged of (InstanceAlreadyExistsException):

What I cannot see, is: who is responsible for this logout? This must be clear so I know I have to log a bug for WebLogic or for EclipseLink.
Anyone a suggestion how to determine this?

How to call at PL/SQL package?

Hi,
How to call a PL/SQL package from withing a VORowImpl?
Also what packages need to be imported for this?
Thanks,
AD

Hi,
Thanks for the replies friends.
I understand this is not a good practice to call a pl/sql package. I tried as per the OAF standards.
My requirement is to display the GL String in a region of type table. This is in iExpense and the region is (ReviewBusinessCCardTblRN.xml) i.e. the Review page in the Expense report creation steps.
The data in this region is not coming directly from one VO. There are two VOs involved in it.
1> BusinessCCardLinesForReviewVO
2> ReceiptBasedLinesVO (This is the actual source of data and it contains a SQL statement)
The "BusinessCCardLinesForReviewVORowImpl" calls methods in "ReceiptBasedLinesVORowImpl" to get all the data.
So, my approach was to
1> Extend "ReceiptBasedLinesVO" and add an attribute for the GL String in the SQL statement.
2> Write a method in the "ReceiptBasedLinesVOExRowImpl" to fetch the GL String.
3> Extend BusinessCCardLinesForReviewVO and add an attribute for the GL String.
4> In the extended VO's (BusinessCCardLinesForReviewVOExRowImpl) row impl, call "ReceiptBasedLinesVOExRowImpl" GL String method.
5> Then use "BusinessCCardLinesForReviewVO" GL string attribute to display in the region.
Is there anything wrong with this approach?
But, this does not seem to be working.
Steps 3, 4, 5 are working as I tested with hard coded values in "BusinessCCardLinesForReviewVOExRowImpl".
But when I call method in "ReceiptBasedLinesVOExRowImpl" to get the GL String, it does not working. No error returned. The page displays all the values as it was displaying in the standard functionality.
As this is an urgent requirement, I thought of writting a PL/SQL function which would take CCID from "BusinessCCardLinesForReviewVO" and return the GL String.
And call this PL/SQL funtion in "BusinessCCardLinesForReviewVOExRowImpl".
Please help me on this.
Srini: Could you please give the exact syntax for calling the PL/SQL stored function in VORowImpl.
Thanks,
AD

Tool or mechanism to put the Oracle metadata into XML format

Hi,
Is there any tool or mechanism provided by Oracle to put the Oracle metadata into XML format?I mean metadata here represents Database objects like Tables, Columns, Schemas, stored procedures, Table spaces etc.
Regards,
Dayakar

From 9i and onwards, the dbms_metadata package will do this.
Either use the documentation or Morgan's library [http://www.psoug.org/reference] for further info

Is there any restriction using pl/sql packages depending on Oracle Version?

Hi everybody. Our company is using a mix of pl/sql packages to call web services and process xml inside stored procedures. We are using UTL_HTTP, UTL_DBWS and UTL_XML. Our client asks if there is any restriction using those packages on a Standard One licensed database? Does we need an upgrade p.e. enterprise edition to use those packages? I test all our development on a Express Edition, and there is no restriction. We run the same test on a Standard One and Enterprise Editions and the result was the same, no restrictions.
To use those packages does we need an upgrade to enterprise edition?
Xavier.

the packages that you mention are not restricted to a particular version.

How to generate WebServices for PL/SQL Packages

I have the following issue trying to generate WS for a selected set of operations within a PL/SQL package
If I use the option -sql PKG_TEST then I am getting all operations within a package.
I just want to expose a certain number of procedures ( e.g. PROC1 and PROC2 )
It works only if I specify
-sql PKG_TEST(PROC1)
when I use -sql PKG_TEST(PROC1, PROC2) it gives me errors.
I have Oracle JDeveloper (10.1.3.2) (Build 4066) .
I used wsa with an plsqlAssemble option
java -jar wsa.jar -plsqlAssemble
-appName myApp
-packageName myPckg
-sql PKG_TEST(PROC1)
-dataSource jdbc/ds
-dbConnection jdbc:oracle:thin:@zzzz:1521:mydb -dbUser user/passw
-style rpc
-use literal
Thanks,

Eric,
Thanks a lot for your help.
I was able to follow all of your recommendations
I was able to produce the single ear file for multiple PL/SQL packages .
Now I have the last step ( I hope :-) - WS-SECURITY
What is your recomendation for Security - specifically for WebServices for PL/SQL Packages ?
I would like to do the following:
CLIENT CODE:
* Create a XML element with user name, password, &
* datasource as child elements.
* Element will look like this:
* <credetials>
* <username>scott</username>
* <password>tiger</password>
* <datasource>jdbc/OracleCoreDS</datasource>
* </credentials>
Document doc = new XMLDocument();
Element elAdd = doc.createElement( "credentials");
Element elA = doc.createElement( "username");
Element elB = doc.createElement("password");
Element elC = doc.createElement("datasource");
elA.appendChild(doc.createTextNode("scott"));
elB.appendChild(doc.createTextNode("tiger"));
elC.appendChild(doc.createTextNode("jdbc/OracleCoreDS"));;
elAdd.appendChild(elA);
elAdd.appendChild(elB);
elAdd.appendChild(elC);
doc.appendChild(elAdd);
Element e = doc.getDocumentElement();
// Create an intance of the proxy
EmployeeProxy proxy = new EmployeeProxy();
// Create a Header objecy
Vector v = new Vector();
v.add (e);
Header hdr = new Header();
hdr.setHeaderEntries(v);
// Set the Header
proxy._setSOAPRequestHeaders(hdr);
SERVER CODE:
public void processHeaders(Header header)
throws java.io.IOException,
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XSLException
// Get all the Elements
Vector entries = header.getHeaderEntries();
Element e = (Element) entries.firstElement();
System.out.println("Element received from SOAP header is: " );
((XMLElement)e).print(System.out);
// Get independent nodes and retrieve node values.
Node userNode;
userNode = ((XMLNode)e).selectSingleNode("username");
userName = ((XMLElement)userNode).getText();
Node passwordNode;
passwordNode = ((XMLNode)e).selectSingleNode("password");
password = ((XMLElement)passwordNode).getText();
Node dsNode;
dsNode = ((XMLNode)e).selectSingleNode("datasource");
datasourceName = ((XMLElement)dsNode).getText();
System.out.println("User name is: " + userName);
System.out.println("Password is: " + password);
System.out.println("Datasource is: " + datasourceName);
How can this be done with the generated code using wsa tool ?
Any other suggestions ?
Thanks,
Michael
