EclipseLink/Examples/DBWS/DBWSComplexArgStoredFunction


EclipseLink DBWS Service based on Stored Function with complex PL/SQL arguments

The use-case for this example is the creation of a Web service that exposes a simple Stored Function containing complex PL/SQL arguments.

The following stored function will be used for this example:

DROP FUNCTION F1;
FUNCTION F1(OLDREC IN ARECORD, FOO IN VARCHAR2) RETURN ARECORD IS arec ARECORD;
  BEGIN
    arec.T1 := OLDREC.T1;
    arec.T2 := OLDREC.T2;
    arec.T3 := OLDREC.T3;
    RETURN arec;
  END F1;

Where type ARECORD is:

TYPE TBL1 IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(111) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
TYPE TBL2 IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
TYPE ARECORD IS RECORD (
  T1 TBL1,
  T2 TBL2,
  T3 BOOLEAN
);
The DBWSBuilder utility requires a DBWS configuration file as input.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dbws-builder xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <properties>
    <property name="projectName">testEcho</property>
    ... database properties
  </properties>
  <procedure
   name="testEcho"
   procedurePattern="TESTECHO"
   returnType="xsd:string"
 />
</dbws-builder>
prompt > dbwsbuilder.cmd -builderFile dbws-builder.xml -stageDir output_directory -packageAs wls testEcho.war

where

  • dbws-builder.xml is the DBWS builder XML file above
  • output_directory is the output directory for the generated files
  • -packageAs specifies the platform on which the web service will be deployed
