===How to Create EclipseLink DBWS Services Using the <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt> utility===
+
<b>Note: A basic overview of EclipseLink Database Web Services (DBWS) can be found</b> [[EclipseLink/FAQ/WhatIsDBWS|here]]
You can use the EclipseLink DBWS design-time tool <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt> to create deployment files. <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt> is a Java application that processes the operations described in an [[EclipseLink dbws-builder.xml File (ELUG)#eclipselink-dbws-builder.xml|EclipseLink DBWS builder XML file]] to produce all the required deployment artifacts.
+
 
+
Be sure to set the following environment variables in the <tt><ECLIPSELINK_HOME>\utils\dbws\setenv.cmd</tt> (or <tt>setenv.sh</tt> file) before invoking <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt>:
+
*$JAVA_HOME
+
*$DRIVER_CLASSPATH
+
There are script files provided for invoking <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt>. They are located in <tt><ECLIPSELINK_HOME>\utils\dbws</tt>. The scripts are '''dbwsbuilder.cmd''' for Windows usage and '''dbwsbuilder.sh''' for other operating systems.
+
<source lang="text">
+
DBWSBuilder usage - [] indicates optional argument:
+
prompt > dbwsbuilder.cmd -builderFile {path_to_builder.xml} -stageDir {path_to_stageDir} -packageAs[:archive_flag] {packager} [additional args]
+
Available packagers:
+
  -packageAs:[default=archive] javase [jarFilename]
+
  -packageAs:[default=archive] wls [warFilename]
+
</source>
+
 
+
Using <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt>, you can generate an EclipseLink DBWS service from the following sources:
+
*an existing relational database table;
+
*one or more SQL <tt>SELECT</tt> statements;
+
*a stored procedure.
+
 
+
====Using the <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt> utility to create an EclipseLink DBWS Service from a Database Table====
+
Create an EclipseLink DBWS builder XML File with a <tt>&lt;table&gt;</tt> <b>query operation</b>:
+
<span id="Example 9-1"></span>
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+
<dbws-builder xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
+
  <properties>
+
    <property name="projectName">table_test</property>
+
    ... database properties ...
+
  </properties>
+
  <table
+
    schemaPattern="%"
+
    tableNamePattern="dbws_crud"
+
  />
+
</dbws-builder>
+
</source>
+
For more information, see the basic example [[EclipseLink/Examples/DBWS/DBWSBasicTable| Creating EclipseLink DBWS Service based on Database Table]].
+
 
+
====Using the <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt> utility to create an EclipseLink DBWS Service from a SQL statement====
+
Create an EclipseLink DBWS builder XML File with a <tt>&lt;sql&gt;</tt> <b>query operation</b>:
+
<span id="Example 9-2"></span>
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+
<dbws-builder xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
+
  <properties>
+
    <property name="projectName">sql_test</property>
+
    ... database properties ...
+
  </properties>
+
  <sql name="employeeInfo" simpleXMLFormatTag="employee-info" xmlTag="aggregate-counts">
+
    <text>
+
      <![CDATA[select count(*) as "COUNT", max(SAL) as "MAX-Salary" from EMP]]>
+
    </text>
+
  </sql>
+
</dbws-builder>
+
</source>
+
=====Parameter Binding=====
+
The SQL <tt>SELECT</tt> statement for a <tt>&lt;sql&gt;</tt> operation may have parameters that must be bound to a datatype from the <b><tt>eclipselink-dbws-schema.xsd</tt></b>, or to any of the basic XSD datatypes. The SQL <tt>SELECT</tt> string uses JDBC-style '?' markers to indicate the position of the argument. The <tt>&lt;sql&gt;</tt> operation uses nested <tt>&lt;binding&gt;</tt> elements to match the datatype to the parameters. The order in which <tt>&lt;binding&gt;</tt> elements are defined must match the order of '?' markers in the SQL string:
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+
<dbws-builder xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
+
  <properties>
+
    <property name="projectName">sql_binding_test</property>
+
    ... database properties ...
+
  </properties>
+
  <sql name="findEmpByName" isCollection="true" isSimpleXMLFormat="true"> 
+
    <text>
+
      <![CDATA[select * from EMP where EMPNO = ? and LAST_NAME = ?]]>
+
    </text>
+
    <binding name="EMPNO" type="xsd:int"/>
+
    <binding name="LAST_NAME" type="xsd:string"/>
+
  </sql>
+
</dbws-builder>
+
</source>
+
The argument named <tt>"EMPNO"</tt> is bound to an integer type while the argument named <tt>"LAST_NAME"</tt> is bound to a string type.
+
<br />
+
For more information, see the basic example [[EclipseLink/Examples/DBWS/DBWSBasicSQL|Creating EclipseLink DBWS Service based on Results Sets from custom SQL <code>SELECT</code> statements]].
+
 
+
====Using the <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt> utility to create an EclipseLink DBWS Service from a Stored Procedure====
+
Create an EclipseLink DBWS builder XML File with a <tt>&lt;procedure&gt;</tt> <b>query operation</b>:
+
<span id="Example 9-3"></span>
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+
<dbws-builder xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
+
  <properties>
+
    <property name="projectName">procedure_test</property>
+
    ... database properties ...
+
    </properties>
+
  <procedure
+
    returnType="empType"
+
    catalogPattern="SOME_PKG"
+
    schemaPattern="SCOTT"
+
    procedurePattern="GetEmployeeByEMPNO_DEPTNO"/>
+
  </procedure>
+
</dbws-builder>
+
</source>
+
For more information, see the basic example [[EclipseLink/Examples/DBWS/DBWSBasicStoredProcedure|Creating EclipseLink DBWS Service based on Stored Procedure]].
+
 
+
===How to Customize an EclipseLink DBWS Service===
+
There are a number use-cases that require an EclipseLink DBWS Service to be customized. The use-cases can be sub-divided into
+
* simple - changing an &lt;element-tag&gt; to an "attribute"
+
* intermediate - customizing the EclipseLink ORM or OXM Projects
+
* advanced - hand-generating all required deployment artifacts
+
 
+
====Simple EclipseLink DBWS Customization====
+
See the example [[EclipseLink/Examples/DBWS/DBWSIntermediateAttribute|Changing an &lt;element-tag&gt; to an "attribute"]]
+
 
+
====Intermediate EclipseLink DBWS Customization====
+
The primary reason to use an EclipseLink SessionCustomizer is to enable programmatic access to the EclipseLink API. Using this API, one can retrieve the ORM or OXM descriptors from the session, and from these descriptors add, change or delete mappings. Other examples might be to
+
turn off the session cache or change the transation isolation level of the database connection:
+
 
+
Implement a <code><b>org.eclipse.persistence.config.SessionCustomizer</b></code>:
+
<source lang="java5">
+
package some.java.package;
+
 
+
import org.eclipse.persistence.config.SessionCustomizer;
+
import org.eclipse.persistence.sessions.Session;
+
import org.eclipse.persistence.sessions.DatabaseLogin;
+
 
+
public class MySessionCustomizer implements SessionCustomizer {
+
 
+
  public MySessionCustomizer() {
+
  }
+
 
+
  public void customize(Sesssion session) {
+
    DatabaseLogin login = (DatabaseLogin)session.getDatasourceLogin();
+
    login.setTransactionIsolation(DatabaseLogin.TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED);
+
  }
+
}
+
</source>
+
In the <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt> builder XML file, specify if the customization applies to the ORM Project or the OXM Project:
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+
<dbws-builder xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
+
  <properties>
+
    <property name="projectName">customize_test</property>
+
    ...
+
    <property name="orSessionCustomizerClassName">some.java.package.MyORSessionCustomizer</property>
+
</source>
+
or
+
<source lang="xml">
+
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+
<dbws-builder xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
+
  <properties>
+
    <property name="projectName">customize_test</property>
+
    ...
+
    <property name="oxSessionCustomizerClassName">some.java.package.MyOXSessionCustomizer</property>
+
</source>
+
For more details, please see the [[Introduction to EclipseLink Sessions (ELUG)#Session_Customization|Session Customization section]] in the User Guide.
+
 
+
====Advanced EclipseLink DBWS Customization====
+
You can customize an EclipseLink DBWS service by creating your own '''project.xml''' and '''sessions.xml''' files.
+
Using your preferred tool you can map your objects to your relational database in an EclipseLink relational project, map your objects to your XML schema in an EclipseLink XMl project, and create an EclipseLink sessions.xml file that references both projects.
+
In this way, you can control all aspects of the relational and XML mapping. This approach is best when you want to customize most or all details. See the advanced example [[EclipseLink/Examples/DBWS/ExistingMappingFiles|Creating EclipseLink DBWS Service based upon existing ORM and OXM Projects]].
+
 
+
=== DBWSBuilder API ===
+
The EclipseLink DBWS design-time utility, <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt>, is a Java application that generates EclipseLink DBWS files and assembles them into deployable archives. One can also set the <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt>’s properties, add table or procedure definitions and SQL operations programmatically through <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt>’s API.
