EclipseLink/Examples/DBWS/DBWSBasicStoredProcedure

EclipseLink DBWS Service based on Stored Procedure

Given a procedure name, a Web Service is automatically generated that exposes the Stored Procedure(s) operation(s).

Note: From the metadata for a Stored Procedure, it is not possible to determine the structure of the returned data. Therefore, a simplified 'pseudo-rowset' schema is used.

XSD for Simple XML Format

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <xsd:schema
 xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
 >
 <xsd:complexType name="sxfType">
   <xsd:sequence>
     <xsd:any minOccurs="0"/>
   </xsd:sequence>
 </xsd:complexType>
 <xsd:element name="simple-xml-format" type="sxfType"/>
 </xsd:schema>

The EclipseLink DBWS runtime produces an XML document-fragment that is simple and 'human-readable'; however, the document is 'dumb' as it cannot be validated against any XML schema (elements underneath <srvc:result> are not namespace-qualified).

Element tag names are direct copies of table's column names
