eclipselink-dbws.xml File

The eclipselink-dbws.xml file is used only with EclipseLink database Web services (see Considering EclipseLink Database Web Service Architecture). The EclipseLink runtime uses the properties (see eclipselink-dbws.xml File Elements) set in this file to determine such things as service name, generated sessions.xml file name, and query definitions for a EclipseLink database Web service, as eclipselink-dbws.xml File shows.

eclipselink-dbws.xml File Elements

Element Description Required Default

name

The name of the EclipseLink database Web service.

Yes-set by the DBWSBuilder property projectName. For more information, see DBWSBuilder and #eclipselink-dbws-builder.xml.

None

sessions-file

The name of EclipseLink sessions.xml file to be used.

No

If not present, then eclipselink-dbws-sessions.xml will be used.

Any of the following four operation elements:

  • insert
  • update
  • delete
  • query

One or more service operations.

Yes

None

eclipselink-dbws.xml File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dbws xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

    </query>
</dbws>

XSD File Format

The eclipselink-dbws.xml file XSD is eclipselink-dbws_1_1_0.xsd and it is located in the <ECLIPSELINK_HOME>\xsds directory.

See EclipseLink/XSDs for more information.

eclipselink-dbws-schema.xsd

The eclipselink-dbws-schema.xsd file is used only with EclipseLink database Web services (see Considering EclipseLink Database Web Service Architecture). A EclipseLink database Web service automatically generates this file from your database table metadata and uses it to derive element tag names and types.

An XML schema .xsd file is generated using the following two rules:

  1. table name: translate any characters not supported by XML, then convert to lower case (to_lowercase), and then add suffix Type. This will result in a top-level complex element type in the .xsd file.
  2. column name: translate characters, and then convert to lower case (to_lowercase). This will result in an element tag name. Note: This includes all columns, with BLOB columns being automatically mapped to xsd:base64Binary and, optionally, included in-line to the XML document, or handled as binary attachments (swaRef-style).

This table shows metadata from a typical database, and Corresponding eclipselink-dbws-schema.xsd shows the corresponding eclipselink-dbws-schema.xsd file that the EclipseLink database Web service generates from it.

Typical Database Metadata

OWNER TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_TYPE DATA_LENGTH DATA_PRECISION DATA_SCALE NULLABLE

SCOTT EMP ENAME VARCHAR2 10 (null) (null) Y

eclipselink-dbws-builder.xml

The eclipselink-dbws-builder.xml file is used only with EclipseLink database Web services (see Considering EclipseLink Database Web Service Architecture). The EclipseLink database Web service command-line tool DBWSBuilder processes the elements described in this file to produce the requisite EclipseLink database Web services files (see eclipselink-dbws.xml File|eclipselink-dbws.xml File and eclipselink-dbws-schema.xsd).

The EclipseLink runtime uses the builder properties (see eclipselink-dbws-builder.xml File Elements (DBWSBuilder Properties) set in this file to determine such things as database connection URL, user name, password, session customizer class, and so forth, for a EclipseLink database Web service, as eclipselink-dbws-build.xml File shows.

What You May Need to Know About Builder Operations

The following are the builder operations:

  • procedure-You use this operation to specify a stored procedure.
  • table-You use this operation to specify a database table.
  • sql-You use to this operation to specify an SQL statement.

The following tables describe attributes of builder operations that eclipselink-dbws-build.xml File uses. This table lists attributes common to all three builder operations.

Common Attributes of Builder Operations

Attribute Description Default

name

Name of the operation.

None

isCollection

Specifies whether or not the procedure returns multiple results. The following are valid values:
  • true - the operation returns more than a single row.
  • false - the operation returns a single row.

false

isSimpleXMLFormat

Specifies whether or not the procedure returns information in the Simple XML Format (SXF). The following are valid values:

  • true - the operation returns information in the Simple XML Format.
  • false - the operation returns information in the Simple XML Format.

For more information, see Unstructured Data.

false

simpleXMLFormatTag

The name of the root-level Simple XML Format element-tag. For more information, see Unstructured Data.

<simple-xml-format>

xmlTag

The name of the grouping XML element-tag for rows. For more information, see Unstructured Data.

binaryAttachment

Specifies whether or not the operation returns binary data as a SOAP attachment. The following are valid values:

  • true - the operation returns binary data as a SOAP attachment.
  • false - the operation does not return binary data as a SOAP attachment.

false

returnType

Specifies a return type when the operation's return type cannot be deduced from database metadata. Valid values are any type that the eclipselink-dbws-schema.xsd file defines. For more information, see eclipselink-dbws-schema.xsd.

Note: This attribute is optional.
