The Oracle Database Programming using Java and Web services book is out

This book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1555583296 shows how to build pragmatic applications using the combination of PL/SQL, Java in the database, JDBC, SQLJ, JPublisher, and Web services. It is intented for database developers, DBA, data architects, Java developers and Web services assemblers.
My blog http://db360.blogspot.com/ and the free/sample chapter http://www.oracle.com/technology/books/pdfs/mensah_ch1.pdf will give you a feel of the content.
Enjoy, Kuassi

Hi Kuassi,
Thanks for letting us know that your book is available. I have been following one of your articles about "Virtualize Your Oracle Database with Web Services". More specifically "The Database as Web Services Consumer". I think that this is an area that has in the past been under estimated as to the potential benefits.
I am currently trying to develop a solution that consumes several interfaces with a couple of them being published web services, so an ideal solution. I have then spent the last three weeks having to read up about the architecture of Java in the database, Jpublisher and make sense of how it all works together.
I have got very close to getting one of the web services to work but failed due to using 10gR2 where all the java & libraries has moved to version 1.5. The solution is to load the jdk1.4.2 and configure jpublisher to use this. So far so good except this is not available on some platforms, Windows - 64 bit (not itanium).
The configuration is proving very challenging but will hopefully reap rewards.
(Thought I would give you some background to my experience).
Anyway my question to you is having looked at Jdeveloper it appears to do almost anything except consume services into the database, also with Java now being at version 1.5 outside the database for 10gR2 and supporting 1.4 inside, do you see some alignment of these in future database releases?
Finally off to buy your book now as no doubt there is a huge amount more to learn.
Kind Regards

How can I open a program using Java and then perform certain tasks with it?

For example, and this is just an example, I want to write a Java program that opens MS Paint and then manipulates that program. This can be useful to automate certain tasks.
My question is whether this can be done writing Java code and if so how? If not possible, would I need to use a scripting language instead?

write a Java program that opens MS Paint and then
manipulates that program. This can be useful to
automate certain tasks."manipulates" is a too wide term. Let me narrow down:
1. If you want to open (run) the program and then shut (kill) it down it is possible and fairly trivial to do in java. Look up Runtime and Process classes in java.lang package
2. If you want to open the program and edit some image/document in the opened program. It is very difficult in java. May be possible... using some Java/COM bridge, assuming your native program is COM/Active-x compliant. Note: these things go beyond the boundary of JVM and needs to interact with host OS and involves shared memory, ipc and all "low level" stuffs.
If you want to be able to play around with these COM/Activex apps- choose .NET instead :-)
3) You can open the program from java and pass it some command line arg as in (1) above and then the program will load that document/image at startup automatically. You may then edit the doc/image thru that program itself. However, Java is not doing anything for you here, other than just starting off your native mspaint.exe ot notepad.exe.

Create Lead with Oracle BPEL process using Siebel CRMOD web service

I'm trying to create a lead in the siebel OD (hosted) with a oracle BPEL process and using the siebel web service (2.0). In my bpel process I've been able to
1. Login to OD and get a session id
2. create the partner link using Siebel OD (version 2.0) wsdl for Lead
3. Assign the session id to the partner link
4. Assign the inputs (lastname, firstname, leadowner, viewMode=Personal, lovLanguageMode=LDC) to lead
5. Call the leadInsert operation on the partner link
However, when I deploy and execute the bpel process it breaks after calling the leadInsert with the following error message:

Hi,
We are also using BPEL to send data out to SIEBEL CRMOD.
I've created a proxy that deals with authentication and session management.
All you have to do is to deploy the proxy as a war file and refrence it as the end-point of your partner link.
Code is here:

Database locking using JSP and Oracle database

Dear All
I am reading about how to do database locking in general and i want to implement these mechanisms using JSP pages and oracle database, but i have the following questions:-
1.If i write a “select for update” quesry in the JSP page will it locks the record ? or it will not lock the record because the connection between the JSP pages and the server will be stateless in most online systems?
2.If i write all my jave code in transaction , something like this:-
• Begin transaction
• Commit or
• Rollback
Then should i be worried about the locking issues or the database manger will handle the locking mechanisms to insure data integrity(and what the default mechanism (if any) that the oracle database manger use to do the locking)?
3. If the answer for question 2 is no, then how can i handle the optimistic and the pentemistic locking using JSP pages?
BR

One way to solve this issue is as follows:
* You add a new column to each database table called 'version' which is of int type.
* Each time you alter any field in a record, you increament the version number.
* When you read a record and display it, you store the version number in your code
* when you go to update the record, you write your sql something like this:
update person set firstName=? where personId=? and version=?
Where the version is whatever you stored locally. If someone altered the record in the database while your
end user was looking at it, the version numbers will not match and the sql statement will
return zero as the number of records it altered. If its zero, inform the end user someone altered the record
while he was looking at it and weather or not he wants to proceed.
The chances of two people altering the same record in a table while both are logged in and viewing the same set of data is small so such collisions will be few.
You only need transactions if you are updating more than one record at a time (in the same table or multiple tables).
You dont need it for reading records if you use a single sql statement to read (for example: to join multiple tables).
In general, you get a (pooled) connection, use it, and close it as quickly as possible in a try/catch/finally block. You dont hold onto it for the duration of the user's session. A book on JDBC should help clarify this.

Use OWB with java or web service

Instead of using Oracle warehouse builder GUI design and control center, may I use Java or Web services to access the functionality of warehouse builder.
where can I find these Java or web services API document.
Thanks

I think I can answser my own question by some investigation now. Javadoc is here:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B12155_01/index.html
but looks like this never been metioned. does it means code to Java API is not recommanded?
also, still not able to find any tutorial about using this APIs except javadoc

Problem in installing Oracle database 10.2.01 and SOA suite


Hi ALL,
I have the following two problems.
I get a windows error saying "oui.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvinience" whenever i try to install Oracle database 10.2.01.(problem 1)
However, i used the Oracle database from other system and installed SOA suite on my system. It was working fine until recently when it failed to start. I had only one option i.e. to deninstall the SOA suite.(i used the oracle deinstaller to deinstall the SOA suite) . When i tried to reinstall it again, i got a warning saying "DHCP configuration was detected on this host. The installer also detected that the local host name and the network hostname differ". When i ignored this warning and continued the installation, the set up falied to detect the Oracle database which i had used earlier(problem 2). Do I need to clear any logs or do i have any way to sort out these two problems. Please help. ?:|



i am trying to install the SOA SUite against locahost. I have installed the loop back adapter but facing the same problems that i used to face earlier.

How to use WebRowSet in Web Services

Hi,
I'm new on both Java and Web Services. Currently I am trying to use JDevelper 10g's Web Services Wizard to create a Web Service, which will be consumed by .Net clients.
I would like to know how to pass WebRowSet back to client. Since WebRowSet is not default data type the Wizard can handle, I wish anybody can tell me if this is feasible, if so, what steps I should do to accomplish this task.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, Eric,
Thank you for your quick reply.
The web service I am trying to develop is basically a generic Data Access Component to bridge between SQL server and a desktop .Net application. The application will have about 3000 users from WAN, therefore we want to have a server side component to handle connection pooling etc. Because of limitation of current servers, we are asked to develop a Java Web Service, instead of MS WS.
To make the component more reusable, I am thinking to have methods like this in the service:
RunQueryReturnRS(String Sql, WebRowSet, rs)
RunQueryReturnInt(String Sql, int NumRecdImpacted)
RunStoredProcedureReturnRS(â¦.)
RunStoredProcedureReturnInt(â¦.)
â¦â¦
You see, I would like to get whole resultset back to client, including both metadata and data in a format of generic resultset. When I paged through the Sunâs document, finding WebRowSet is claimed to be seariable, and ready for Web Service. I thought if I can use WebRowSet that will save me time to write new classes to hold resultset info and pass back to client.
Could you please tell me if it is a feasible approach?
Thank you.

Struts and web services

If you want to use Struts and web services, what approach do you take? If you want to use reliable messaging,
you need to have a web service client as well as the web service being called.
What is the recommended way to set this up?
Do you call a local web service from the action class and then have that web service do all of the business logic including calling remote web services?
I am just starting to look at this so I am probably not close but I would like some guidance on what, in general, is the correct approach.

The jars you are referring to are not SAP BusinessObject specifics jars: struts and JiBX. There are open source java framework. For more information about the struts refer to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Struts
for more information about jibx refer to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JiBX
Normally the core jars for a SAP BusinessObjects webservice SDK are:
The core jar files to use for Web Services Java SDK applications are:
dsws-bicatalog.jar
dsws-biplatform.jar
dsws-common.jar
dsws-publish.jar
dsws-queryservice.jar
dsws-reportengine.jar
dsws-saveservice.jar
dsws-session.jar
wilog.jar
And the jars you have mentioned are part of the
The dependent jar files to use for Web Services Java SDK applications are:
activation-1.1.jar
axiom-api-1.2.5.jar
axiom-impl-1.2.5.jar
axis2-kernel-1.3.jar
axis2-saaj-1.3.jar
axis2-xmlbeans-1.3.jar
backport-util-concurrent-2.2.jar
commons-codec-1.3.jar
commons-httpclient-3.0.1.jar
commons-logging-1.1.jar
log4j-1.2.14.jar
mail.jar
stax-api-1.0.1.jar
struts.jar
wsdl4j-1.6.2.jar
wstx-asl-3.2.1.jar
xbean-2.2.0.jar
XmlSchema-1.3.2.jar
In any cases it is recommended not to have duplicated jars in your deployment and also check if the version of the jars to use is supported by the version of the JDK used.
Thanks

How to copy List item from one list to another using SPD workflow using HTTP call web service

Hi,
How to copy List item from one list to another using SPD workflow using HTTP call web service.
Both the Lists are in different Web applications.
Regards, Shreyas R S

Hi Shreyas,
From your post, it seems that you are using SharePoint 2013 workflow platform in SPD.
If that is the case, we can use Call HTTP web service action to get the item data, but we cannot use Call HTTP web service to create a new item in the list in another web application with these data.
As my test, we would get Unauthorized error when using Call HTTP web service action to create a new item in a list in another web application.
So I recommend to achieve this goal programmatically.

SSL certificates and Web Services Usage inside Oracle Database Questions!

We have implemented a specific business logic using PL/SQL for our client, so we open a file and process each line of this, doing something in the Database and also call a Web Services (Service1) using UTL_HTTP package. Service1 runs in a Windows 2008 Server in the DMZ as Database server.
Service1 is already working, and we can call the service from PL/SQL without troubles.
However, according with security client's policies they requires all Web services be consumed via https including Service1, so we must to follow the procedure established for Oracle in order to enable the calling of service1 via https from the Database.
Our client's DBA and IT Team are concerned about two subjects before to continue to follow the certificate installation:
     - SSL Certificates:
1- Can installed certificates in the Database put in risk the stability of the database?
          2- Can installed certificates in the Database generate performance issues?
          3- Can installed certificates reloading the Databases?
          2- Can installed certificates in the Database generate security issues?
     - Web services:
1- Can web services calling from the Database put in risk the stability of the database?
2- Can web services calling from the Database generate performance issues?
3- Can web services calling from the Database generate security issues in the DMZ?
Could you please give us any clues, about the possible negative impact related with the SSL certificates and Web Services Usage inside Oracle Database, if it’s the case this impact exists?.
Those are the links describing the procedure mentioned above.

Thiago:
You are correct in that there should be no problem interacting with a Web service that has an HTTPS endpoint as long as you create a wallet and specify it when you make your UTL_HTTP calls, like the PayPal example.
I am not aware of a PL/SQL utility to create a XMLDsig Standard message, but if you find some Java source out there that does it, you may be able to follow a technique I used for a similar use case:

Can i use "Oracle Database 12c: Performance Management and Tuning " training for getting certification on "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning 1Z0-054"

i have taken "Oracle Database 12c: Performance Management and Tuning new" training from oracle university. Now i would like to get certified on "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning 1Z0-054" exam. Is it possible ?

I essentially endorse and refer you to Matthews' and John's post above.
I would differ with slightly with Matthew because my guess is you would often be able to use like for like 12c training for an 11g certification ( I believe there are precedents). BEFORE ANYONE ASKS THE OTHER WAY DOESN'T HAPPEN.
.... but totally concur with Matthew you would ill advised to procede on that basis without one of:
- This being advertised as possible on the website : e.g. https://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=654&get_params=p_id:169 ... option 2 show courses.
- Confirmation from Brandye
- Confirmation from an Oracle Certification Support Web Ticket ( http://education.oracle.com/pls/eval-eddap-dcd/OU_SUPPORT_OCP.home?p_source=OCP )
... The more common (and in my opinion usually better) way would be get your 11g DBA OCP ( or higher first) and then take the 1z0-054. I am almost certain they will accept your 12c course for the 11g DBA OCP.
If you are choosing the route of not being a 11g (or 12c ) DBA OCP first but are on option 2 and relying on the course for certification then the issue is more in the balance and you are even more strongly advised to get confirmation before proceding (remember if the rules need to be changed for you only then any profit out of the exam is lost).
In general my understanding is Oracle would prefer to encourage people to train on the latest version of product that is available for training and will prefer to avoid restrictions which would cause you to train at a lower version. ( This is simply my guess at Oracle University Policy ... personal opinion only).
Having said all I have said I'd encourage you to go with the advice of the earlier two posts.

How to store image in the oracle database 10.2. using File Maker 10.

Hi.,
I want to store image, media file in the oracle database using File Maker as a front end.
I connect Oracle using odbc from file maker. There are table and in that table there a column "pict" of blob type. but this column is not showing in the file maker.
2. Here I can not change the data type of any column.
Now how to store images in the oracle table using odbc or any other tool.
Regards,
Shyam

I wrote an example for my students, you can find it here. It's using PHP as the front end but all you need to do is know how and leverage the stored procedures. All code is downloadable in zip files from the blog.
