In a previous article I presented a method for Consuming Web Services using a basic SOAP implementation. This article provides similar functionality, but this time using the UTL_DBWS
package, which is essentially a PL/SQL wrapper over JPublisher.
First, download the latest copy of the dbwsclient.jar file:
- Pre 10g: dbws-callout-utility.zip (10.1.2)
- 10g: dbws-callout-utility-10R2.zip (10.1.3.0)
- 10g, 11g & 12c latest: dbws-callout-utility-10131.zip (10.1.3.1)
Extract the jar file from the zip file into the "$ORACLE_HOME/sqlj/lib" directory.
The jar file can be loaded into the SYS schema for everyone to access, or into an individual schema that needs access to the web client. To make sure you avoid errors during the load, set the JAVA_POOL_SIZE
initialization parameter to at least 150M.
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 # Load into the SYS schema. export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH cd $ORACLE_HOME/sqlj/lib # 10gR2 loadjava -u sys/password -r -v -f -genmissing -s -grant public dbwsclientws.jar dbwsclientdb102.jar # 11g and 12c loadjava -u sys/password -r -v -f -genmissing -s -grant public dbwsclientws.jar dbwsclientdb11.jar # Load into an individual schema. export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH cd $ORACLE_HOME/sqlj/lib # 10gR2 loadjava -u scott/tiger -r -v -f -genmissing dbwsclientws.jar dbwsclientdb102.jar # 11g & 12c loadjava -u scott/tiger -r -v -f -genmissing dbwsclientws.jar dbwsclientdb11.jar
In Oracle 10g the UTL_DBWS
package is loaded by default. In Oracle 9i, 11g and 12c the package must be loaded using the specification and body provided in the zip file. The execute privilege should be granted on the ULT_DBWS
package to any users needing access to the functionality.
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/sqlj/lib $ sqlplus / as sysdba SQL> @utl_dbws_decl SQL> @utl_dbws_body SQL> CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM utl_dbws FOR sys.utl_dbws; SQL> GRANT EXECUTE ON sys.utl_dbws TO test;
The function below uses the UTL_DBWS
package to access a web services from PL/SQL. The URL of the WDSL file describing the web service is shown here (http://oracle-base.com/webservices/server.php?wsdl). The web service accepts two number parameters and returns the sum of those values.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION add_numbers (p_int_1 IN NUMBER, p_int_2 IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER AS l_service UTL_DBWS.service; l_call UTL_DBWS.call; l_wsdl_url VARCHAR2(32767); l_namespace VARCHAR2(32767); l_service_qname UTL_DBWS.qname; l_port_qname UTL_DBWS.qname; l_operation_qname UTL_DBWS.qname; l_xmltype_in SYS.XMLTYPE; l_xmltype_out SYS.XMLTYPE; l_return NUMBER; BEGIN l_wsdl_url := 'http://oracle-base.com/webservices/server.php?wsdl'; l_namespace := 'http://oracle-base.com/webservices/'; l_service_qname := UTL_DBWS.to_qname(l_namespace, 'Calculator'); l_port_qname := UTL_DBWS.to_qname(l_namespace, 'CalculatorPort'); l_operation_qname := UTL_DBWS.to_qname(l_namespace, 'ws_add'); l_service := UTL_DBWS.create_service ( wsdl_document_location => URIFACTORY.getURI(l_wsdl_url), service_name => l_service_qname); l_call := UTL_DBWS.create_call ( service_handle => l_service, port_name => l_port_qname, operation_name => l_operation_qname); l_xmltype_in := SYS.XMLTYPE('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ws_add xmlns="' || l_namespace || '"> <int1>' || p_int_1 || '</int1> <int2>' || p_int_2 || '</int2> </ws_add>'); l_xmltype_out := UTL_DBWS.invoke(call_Handle => l_call, request => l_xmltype_in); UTL_DBWS.release_call (call_handle => l_call); UTL_DBWS.release_service (service_handle => l_service); l_return := l_xmltype_out.extract('//return/text()').getNumberVal(); RETURN l_return; END; /
The output below shows the function in action.
SELECT add_numbers(1, 5) FROM dual; ADD_NUMBERS(1,5) ---------------- 6 SQL> SELECT add_numbers(10, 15) FROM dual; ADD_NUMBERS(10,15) ------------------ 25 SQL>
