__NOTOC__ 

== EclipseLink DBWS Service based on a PL/SQL Stored Procedure with complex PL/SQL arguments  ==

The use-case for this example is the creation of a Web service that exposes a PL/SQL Stored Procedure that uses complex PL/SQL types as an <tt>IN</tt>, <tt>OUT</tt> or <tt>IN OUT</tt> argument.

The following stored procedure will be used for this example:
<source lang="plsql" enclose="div">
PROCEDURE P1(OLDREC IN ARECORD, FOO IN VARCHAR2, AREC OUT ARECORD) IS
  BEGIN
    AREC.T1 := ... some processing based upon OLDREC
    AREC.T2 := ... and FOO
    AREC.T3 := ...
  END P1;
</source> 

Type <code>ARECORD</code> is defined in PL/SQL Package <code>SOMEPACKAGE</code> as follows:
<source lang="plsql" enclose="div">
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE SOMEPACKAGE AS
  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
  );
  PROCEDURE P1(OLDREC IN ARECORD, FOO IN VARCHAR2, AREC OUT ARECORD);
END SOMEPACKAGE;
</source> 

Because PL/SQL record and collection types cannot be transported over JDBC, an anonymous block of PL/SQL code will be generated that contains functions that convert to/from JDBC and PL/SQL types.  In order for this to work, each PL/SQL record or collection type that will be an <tt>IN</tt>, <tt>IN OUT</tt>, <tt>OUT</tt> or <tt>RETURN</tt> argument (or any PL/SQL record/collection type nested within these) will need to have an equivalent JDBC type - the name of the type is expected to be in the form <code><package name>_<type name></code>.  In this example, the following JDBC types are required:

<source lang="plsql" enclose="div">
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SOMEPACKAGE_TBL1 AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(111)

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SOMEPACKAGE_TBL2 AS TABLE OF NUMBER

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE SOMEPACKAGE_ARECORD AS OBJECT (
  T1 SOMEPACKAGE_TBL1,
  T2 SOMEPACKAGE_TBL2,
  T3 BOOLEAN
)
</source> 

The <tt>DBWSBuilder</tt> utility requires a DBWS configuration file as input. Note that the return type will be <code>SOMEPACKAGE_ARECORD</code>; this is a complex type in the generated EclipseLink DBWS schema (below), which in this case is constructed based on the contents of the package <code>SOMEPACKAGE</code>.
<source lang="xml" enclose="div">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dbws-builder xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <properties>
    <property name="projectName">testPLSQLProcedure</property>
    ... database properties
  </properties>
  <plsql-procedure
    name="plsqlprocedure"
    catalogPattern="SOMEPACKAGE"
    procedurePattern="P1"
  />
</dbws-builder>
</source>
<source lang="text">
prompt > dbwsbuilder.cmd -builderFile dbws-builder.xml -stageDir output_directory -packageAs wls testPLSQLProcedure.war
</source> 

where 

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

The generated <tt>'''eclipselink-dbws-schema.xsd'''</tt> file follows:
