SQLJ on Rdb ?

Question

My customer is planning to start development of J2EE applications to be deployed on VMS / Oracle-Rdb.
Question 1: when is planned the official release of native JDBC for Rdb ?
Question 2: is there any plan to have SQLJ for Rdb ?
Thanks,
Bernard

Answer 1

Let us know if the following is/is not the issue.
Note that the deploying the resulting .java file is not sufficient. If your SQLJ source contains SQL statements, it will also produce one or more resource (.ser) files.
For example:
Foo.sqlj might produce Foo.java and Foo_SJProfile0.ser
The .ser file contains a description of the SQL code that is to be executed and thus is absolutely essential. You can either deploy this as a resource, or convert it to a class file (with the SQLJ command line option -ser2class), or convert it to a .java file (with the command line "tool": java sqlj.runtime.profile.util.SerProfileToClass).
This gives you a plethora of choices for deploying SQLJ applications (e.g. with the loadjava tool):
(1) % loadjava <options> Foo.sqlj
(2) % sqlj Foo.sqlj
% loadjava <options> Foo.java Foo_SJProfile0.ser
(3) % sqlj -ser2class Foo.sqlj
% loadjava <options> Foo*.class
(4) % sqlj Foo.sqlj
% java sqlj.runtime.profile.util.SerProfileToClass Foo_SJProfile0.ser
% loadjava <options> Foo.java Foo_SJProfile0.java
One caveat: if you deploy with one of these methods you want to drop the sources/resources/classes you deployed before redeploying with a different method. Otherwise you encounter conflicts during deployment.
(One of these days we'll make life easier and eliminate the need for .ser's)
I'll defer to the JDeveloper folks for what/how you could reasonably accomplish this within the JDeveloper environment (what version are you using?).
