The goal of EclipseLink DBWS is to enable simple and efficient access to relational database artifacts via a Web Service, extending EclipseLink's core capabilities while leveraging existing components (ORM, OXM).
+
 
+
EclipseLink DBWS has two parts: a design-time tooling component and a runtime provider component that takes a service descriptor (along with related deployment artifacts) and realizes it as a JAX-WS 2.0 Web Service. The runtime provider uses EclipseLink to bridge between the database and the XML SOAP Messages used by Web service clients.
+
 
+
An EclipseLink DBWS service may be comprised of any number of '''operations''' of which there are 4 types:
+
# Insert - inserts into the database persistent entities described by an XML document.
+
# Update - updates database persistent entities described by an XML document.
+
# Delete - removes from the database persistent entities described by an XML document.
+
# Query - retrieves from the database persistent entities described by an XML document. <br>Selection criteria for Query operations can be specified by:
+
#* custom <tt>SQL SELECT</tt> statement
+
#* Stored Procedure invocation
+
#* EclipseLink Named Query (which can use the complete range of EclipseLink ORM Expressions Framework API)
+
 
+
The XML documents used by operations conform to an XML Schema Definition <tt>.xsd</tt> document auto-generated by the design-time tooling. Alternatively, if no <tt>.xsd</tt> is available, a pre-defined simple XML format (SXF) can be used.

EclipseLink Database Web Services (DBWS)

Description

For the current version, see: Developing Persistence Architectures Using EclipseLink Database Web Services, Release 2.4

For EclispeLink DBWS Overview, see http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/documentation/2.4/dbws/overview.htm

Design Documentation

Who uses this feature?

Anyone who wishes to expose a database artifact as a Web Service.

Why do they use it?

EclipseLink DBWS provides a simple light-weight metadata model that requires no Java programming, yet is highly extensible.

What technologies apply?

EclipseLink ORM, OXM, XRM, JAX-WS

Using the EclipseLink DBWS design-time tools requires JDK 1.6 (or higher).
