Xslt 2.0 and RDBMS 9iR2

This might be a really daft question, but is it possible to use XSLT 2.0 from within PL/SQL in a 9.2 RDBMS?
Our upgrade to 10g RDBMS is coming ... but slowly!
Is it possibly to use the 10g XDK with a 9i database in the meantime?
Thanks,
Andy

There are two versions of Saxon (http://saxon.sourceforge.net/). Apparently the Open-Source version does have "to the letter" support for XSTL 2.0.
Saxon uses the Mozilla Public License so you're able to include Saxon in your own projects without having to make them open-source but if you're distributing a Saxon binary, e.g. if you're working for a services company that's creating a project for some customer, you'll have to include in the documentation (or even in the project's readme.txt) that your project uses an unmodified Saxon version and that Saxon's source code can be obtained at the website I already mentioned.
Either way, I'm not much into forcing my own opinions onto others but if you ask me paying a couple of thousand quids for a few licenses of a product like the commercial version of Saxon is well worth it. It probably won't make a dent in your project's budget and you'll be doing the Right Thing, which is to fund the development of great software :-)

PURPOSE
This article describes the "Enterprise Java Beans" (EJB), "Java Server Pages"
(JSP) and servlets Application Programming Interfaces (API) supported by the
Oracle products, Jdeveloper, Internet Application Server (IAS) and the Oracle
RDBMS release 2 and release 3, also known as Version 8.1.6 and 8.1.7,
respectively.

IAS
IAS is Oracle's next evolution of the web server and application server
product technology superceeding the Web Application Server (WAS) and Oracle
Application Server (OAS) product lines.
IAS SERVLET API JSP API EJB API EJE VERSION
VERSION VERSION VERSION VERSION SUPPORTED
9I(1.0.2) 2.2 1.1 1.1 817
8i(1.0.1-NT) 2.0 1.0 1.0 816
8i(1.0.0-UNIX) 2.0 1.0 1.0 816
The IAS product contains two Java Virtual Machines (JVM) within it's
architecture.
They are called :
1) APACHE JSERV servlet engine
2) ORACLE ENTERPRISE JAVA ENGINE (EJE)
APACHE JSERV servlet engine
The APACHE JSERV servlet engine is an EXISTING product licensed from the
apache group which supports the servlet api 2.0.ONLY.
The APACHE JSERV product does not support ANY JSP's unless the customer
installs a third party jsp engine.
The IAS 8i/9i which has the APACHE JSERV product embedded in it, comes with
Oracle's JSP engine (OJSP) already integrated into it. OJSP supports JSP's up
to the specific JSP engine version documented in the Oracle Universal
Installer (OUI) for the 8.1.7 RDBMS or the IAS products. It is also documented
in the product's release notes.
Oracle ENTERPRISE JAVA ENGINE (EJE)
The EJE formerly known as :
1) Oracle 8i Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
2) JSERVER component,
3) Aurora JVM
was originally releas ed in the RDBMS 8.1.5 database with jdk 1.1.6 based java
support.
The currently supported versions of the Oracle 8i RDBMS, versions 2 and 3,
also known as Version 8.1.6 and 8.1.7, respectively, provides a jdk 1.2.1
based java virtual machine support.
"EJE" Version 816
This EJE, found in rdbms 8.1.6 and IAS 8i, contains support for the ejb
api 1.0, corba, and java stored procedures.
"EJE" Version 817
This EJE, found in rdbms 8.1.7 and IAS 9i, contains support for the ejb,
corba, and java stored procedures as well as the Oracle Servlet Engine (OSE)
which provides support for the servlets 2.2 api and JSP 1.1 api.
Note :
EJB support in the "EJE" Version 817 has been upgraded to comply with the EJB
1.1 api specification which includes "entity beans" support.
What is the bottom line ??
1) Servlets deployed to the APACHE JSERV must comply with servlet api 2.0.
2) Servlets 2.1 or higher are only supported in EJE's OSE component found in
the rdbms 817 or ias 9i products. Servlets api 2.0 can also run in the OSE.

which jvm is used by jserv ?? EJE or a separate jdk ?
The Jserv servlet engine is running in a separate jdk JVM external to the EJE jvm which is embedded within the "database" component of ias and the RDBMS.
See the reference below for more details ...
if jserv only support old apis, why it is in oracle's products ?
i would assume that the oracle servlet engine was under development when ias 8i was released and became available in time for the ias 9i and rdbms 817 products.
looking back in history leads me to believe ias 8i was a migration path to get to ias 9i or rdbms 817.
Based upon the long history of new releases of every oracle product being upgraded with new features, it's reasonable to assume that these products will continue to evolve.
when I deploy a jsp how to deploy in the right servlet container ("EJE") ?
as documented in the reference below, you can deploy JSP's to either the apache jserv jvm or the EJE since the ORACLE JSP engine functionality is in both jvm's.
there are many posts where you can see that people have deploy in jserv and they have problems because they don't use the right container (servlet 2.0 instead of
servlet 2.2) http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum2/HTML/006349.html
when ias 8i came out this was clearly an issue since servlet support was at api 2.0, and the current servlet api was probably at 2.1.
oracle clearly made every effort to get ias 9i released quickly to supply a servlet 2.1 and 2.2 capable engine to resolve this issue.
since ias 9i and rdbms 8.1.7 are available this is no longer an issue.
The reference below explains the architecture and understanding it would eliminate a lot of "deploy to the wrong ias 9i component" issues.
so why jserv is bundled with oracle 8i/9ias since EJE support the right api version ?
if in ias 9i release , oracle had removed the jserv component without any advance warning, many customers would have been very upset since oracle makes every attempt to give advance notice before removal of functionality.

Help XSLT Data Mapper and Transformations

Hi guys,
I need help in oracle ESB (XSLT Data Mapper and Transformations). I need to use the XSLT Data Mapper and Transformations using Response XML to Request XML.
Thanks

The concept is the same as BPEL. Without going into too much detail have a look at the folowing tutorial.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28212/buildendtoend.htm#BEICEFJD
Near the bottom they show how to do transformations.

Can i have same ORACLE_BASE directory location for Grid and RDBMS home ?

Grid Version:11.2.0.3
OS : RHEL 5.8
Can I have same ORACLE_BASE location for Grid (CRS) and RDBMS software Homes ?

The OFA guideline for ORACLE_BASE is /u01/app/<owner>. If you are using the same owner for all software (let's call him "oracle") then a simple installation will have one base /u01/app/oracle. This base will be shared by all installations of Grid and RDBMS software. But, if you use two separate owners (let's call them grid and oracle) then you will have two separate ORACLE_BASE locations /u01/app/oracle and /u01/app/grid. I always use two separate owners, but I know many people who only use the oracle account and that is fine too.
Oracle allows every ORACLE_HOME to have a unique base. There is no requirement to install more than one ORACLE_HOME under a given ORACLE_BASE location. This is just an extension of what I said above, that the ORACLE_HOMEs for Grid and RDBMS can be stored under separate ORACLE_BASEs.
If you are using RAC then I strongly suggest you read chapter 1 of the Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide. Read section "Overview of Oracle Base and Oracle Home Directories". The rules for ORACLE_BASE are as I noted above, but the rules for ORACLE_HOME change: the Grid ORACLE_HOME is not to be a sub-directory of the Grid ORACLE_BASE as it is when not using RAC. So, with RAC your directory structure might look more like this:
su -
umask 0022
mkdir -p /u01/app/oraInventory
# Grid Base
mkdir -p /u01/app/grid
# Grid Home
mkdir -p /u01/app/12.1.0.1/grid
# Oracle Base
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# Oracle Home
mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.1/db_1
# Ownership for all of the above...
chown grid:oinstall /u01/app/grid
chown grid:oinstall /u01/app/oraInventory
chown grid:oinstall /u01/app/12.1.0.1
chown grid:oinstall /u01/app/12.1.0.1/db_1
chown oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
My examples show 12.1.0.1 but it's the same for 11.2.0.3.
There's no requirement to create the home directories prior to running the OUI. It can create them for you. I just shown these commands to help you understand the big picture.
The OUI will pop-up a warning if the Grid user's ORACLE_HOME is outside of his ORACLE_BASE as shown in the above mkdir commands, which is funny since it is the recommended setup in the Oracle RAC documentation. I submitted a bug report several years ago. To be consistent across all of my RAC and non-RAC servers I follow the more strict rules of RAC and use the mkdir commands shown above.

Diff bet DBMS and RDBMS

Hi Gurus,
Please tell me the difference between DBMS and RDBMS.
Thanks
Hari

The R means "relational". A relation is a mathematical construct that E.F.Codd first used as the basis for his model of database management in 1969.
The term "relational" has nothing to do with relationships or references between tables. Loosely speaking, a Relation (in RDBMS terms) is an N-dimensional data structure that is commonly pictured or represented as a "table".
An RDBMS is a database management system that implements the relational model. Oracle is not an RDBMS. Like all SQL DBMSs, Oracle borrows certain concepts and terminology from the relational model even though it departs from relational principles in some major respects. SQL DBMSs are sometimes informally described as RDBMSs, which has lead to some unfortunate misunderstandings about relational issues.
I can recommend Chris Date's book: Introduction to Database Systems as a great starting point for further reading about RDBMS.

Hy Moo,
My question: Does anyone know if we face a bug ore some configuration issues ?It seems to be some kind of problem in the disk group configuration. You can verify it querying compatibility and database_compatibility fields from v$asm_diskgroup view.
As You should know, there are ASM new features that requires COMPATIBLE.ASM and COMPATIBLE.RDBMS attributes of the ASM diskgroup be set to at least Oracle 11.1. ( Fast Disk Resync is one example of it), maybe You are facing a configuration issue, not hitting a bug.
Hope it helps,

JAAS, LDAP and RDBMS

Hi,
I need some help developing a SSO (Single Sign-On) service used by the system I'm currently developing. I've read several posts on this forum, but none of them addresses this scenario.
Yeah, I'm a true newbie to this technologies and have only read the tutorials about them, but now I need some help with "best practices", sample code, design. I would be most grateful!
Here's the scenario:
1. A user starts the system.
2. User have the choices of going remote or running locally.
3. If remote is choosen the current user should be validated against a LDAP service, reading some attributes telling us if she have access to remote database and what her read/write permissions are.
4. Database user name and database password is extracted from LDAP service and used in system to create a remote connection to the database.
Hope you guys understand! Password and usernames sent across the network have to be encrypted.
PS. I'm not using J2EE, but it would be nice to have a compliant solution :-)
So, what do you guys think?
Kind regards, Andreas

Hi Andreas,
to do a basic LDAP authentication you can try something like this:
    public java.lang.String ldapAuthentication() {
        Hashtable env = new Hashtable(11);
        env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
        env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://" + THE_LDAP_HOST + ":389/" + THE_LDAP_DOMAIN);
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
        String principal = (COMMON_NAME.equals("") ? USER_NAME : COMMON_NAME);
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, principal);
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, THE_PASSWORD);
        try {
            DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
            return LDAP_AUTH_OK;
        } catch (AuthenticationException e){
            return LDAP_AUTH_INVALIDCREDENTIALS;
        catch (NamingException e){
            return LDAP_AUTH_NAMINGEXCEPTION;
    }The capitalized words - except the constants in Conext - are the parameters you may change for your specific use.
To connect and Query the LDAP database you should "bind" to the LDAP server with a known username and password and query the Context you have created (ctx in the code above).
For your point #4 i think that you can't extract a password of any user from the LDAP database. It is encrypted.
Try to use kerberos authentication instead and use the ticket you obtain from the kerberos server to authenticate with the RDBMS.
Something about kerberos authentication may be found here

Syntax difference RdB SQL and RDBMS SQL

Hi folks,
I tried to find out, but still I couldn't find an answer. Maybe you'll know:
Is there is syntax difference between SQL statements for Oracle RdB and Oracle RDBMS?
The situation is, that we will migrate an application from VB6 to VB.NET. The VB6 version contains sql statements to an Oracle RdB database. The VB.NET version should query on a Oracle RDBMS (10g).
You help is more than welcome!

Shorter than Toon already put it, is not possible ;)

4) drag and drop TBC (Essbase), TBC_ASO (Essbase), and testdb (sql server) from physical layer to "Business Model and Mapping" layer
5) drag and drop table testdb.dbo.p_gen2_info to TBC_ASO (since it dosn't allow set linkage in "Business Model and Mapping" layer between different data source)
6) drag and drop TBC, TBC_ASO, testdb from "Business Model and Mapping" layer to Presentation Layer.
