I have just spent an hour or so working on getting a sample scheduleReport web service working with parameter values. There are a lot of examples out there but none I have found have the parameters being set. Our doc is a little light on details on how to set them up :) In lieu of that, here's this!

        // Set the parameter values for the report. In this example we have        // 'dept' and 'emp' parameters. We could easily query the params dynamically        //Handle 'dept' parameter        ParamNameValue deptParamNameVal = new ParamNameValue();        deptParamNameVal= new ParamNameValue();        deptParamNameVal.setName("dept");
        // Create the string array to hold the parameter value(s)        ArrayOfXsdString deptVal = new ArrayOfXsdString();        // For individual values or multiples, add values to the 
        // string array e.g. 10,20,30        deptVal.getItem().add("10");        deptVal.getItem().add("20");        deptVal.getItem().add("30");         // Asterisk used for a null value ie 'All'        //deptVal.getItem().add("*");

        // add the array to the parameter object
        deptParamNameVal.setValues(deptVal);        //Handle 'emp' parameter        ParamNameValue empParamNameVal = new ParamNameValue();        empParamNameVal= new ParamNameValue();        empParamNameVal.setName("emp");        ArrayOfXsdString empVal = new ArrayOfXsdString();        // For individual values or multiples, add values to the string array         // empVal.getItem().add("Jennifer Whalen");        // empVal.getItem().add("Michael Hartstein");        // Asterisk used for a null value ie 'All'        empVal.getItem().add("*");        empParamNameVal.setValues(empVal);        // add parameter values to parameter array                ArrayOfParamNameValue paramArr = new ArrayOfParamNameValue();        paramArr.getItem().add(deptParamNameVal);        paramArr.getItem().add(empParamNameVal);        //Now add array to values obj        ParamNameValues pVals = new ParamNameValues();        pVals.setListOfParamNameValues(paramArr);

 The pVals object can then be added to the report request object.

        req.setParameterNameValues(pVals);

Hopefully, you can extrapolate to your code. JDev application available here, unzip and open the application.

In my previous post I talked about how to use SQL Monitor to monitor parallel statements. The part of that post which talks about In-Memory Parallel Execution triggered some questions and I want to provide more information on that in a separate post here.

In-Memory Database? In-Memory Parallel Execution? In-Memory Everywhere

Back in the 11.2 days when there was no Oracle Database In-Memory Option (DBIM) there was no confusion about in-memory because there was only one way to use the database memory for parallel execution and that was In-Memory Parallel Execution (IMPX, also known as IMPQ). Starting with 12.1.0.2 DBIM boosted the performance and also the confusion about the term in-memory parallel execution.

I will not go into the details of how these two features work in this post but let us look at the plan note from the previous post and try to understand what it shows about these.

As we see there are two notes about in-memory, Px In Memory Imc and Px In Memory. Let us look at what these two mean.

Px In Memory

This plan note is only related to IMPX and not related to DBIM. It shows whether the statement uses IMPX or not. If you see yes here it means some or all of the tables in the query are accessed through the buffer cache rather than doing direct reads from disk. IMPX looks at the table sizes and the buffer cache size and decides whether to read the blocks into the buffer cache or not. Once the blocks are in the buffer cache subsequent parallel statements can read the data from there rather than going to the disk. In the case of RAC, IMPX makes sure that PX servers are allocated on the nodes where table blocks reside, as a result of this cache fusion is not used to transfer blocks between nodes which in turn makes performance better.

This plan note in SQL Monitor maps to the note parallel scans affinitized for buffer cache in the DBMS_XPLAN output. Here is an example showing IMPX will be used.

The first access to the CUSTOMERS table will read the data from the disk to the buffer cache, subsequent accesses to this table will read data from the buffer cache. The term affinitized here means that specific blocks are assigned to specific nodes and PX servers on those nodes will read the data through the buffer cache.

You will see this note if IMPX is used independent of whether you are on a single-instance database or a RAC database.

So, if you see the note parallel scans affinitized for buffer cache in the DBMS_XPLAN output you will see Px In Memory=yes in SQL Monitor.

Px In Memory Imc

This plan note is only related to DBIM and not related to IMPX. IMC here means In-Memory Columnar which indicates DBIM. The IMC store provides metadata that shows which part of an in-memory table is in which node's memory in a RAC database. Parallel Execution uses this information to allocate PX servers on those nodes so that they can read the data from the IMC store without going to disk. The plan note Px In Memory Imc shows whether the statement accesses an in-memory table and whether PX servers are affinitized to RAC nodes. This does not indicate if DBIM is used or not, that is indicated by the operations in the plan like TABLE ACCESS INMEMORY FULL.

This note maps to the note parallel scans affinitized for inmemory in the DBMS_XPLAN output. Here is an example showing in-memory affinity is used.

In a single-instance database you will not see this note because any PX server can read the data from the single node's IMC store and there is no concept of affinity of PX servers to nodes.

So, if you see the note parallel scans affinitized for inmemory in the DBMS_XPLAN output you will see Px In Memory Imc=yes in SQL Monitor.

One or The Other?

It is possible to have parallel statements using both IMPX and DBIM. If your statement accesses both in-memory tables and tables determined to be read via the buffer cache you can see both notes in the plan output.

In this example, CUSTOMERS table is an in-memory table and since this is a RAC database PX servers are affinitized to nodes. CUSTOMERSPART table is not an in-memory table but Parallel Execution decided to read it through the buffer cache.

There is a lot of information about how DBIM works in the In-Memory blog, I will talk about how IMPX works in a future post. In the meantime please comment here if you have any questions related to it.

I think it's a little tricky but SQL Developer 4.1 has a new way of setting SSH.

SQL Developer 4.1 Release Notes

SSH Tunnel Navigator to define Local and Remote Port Forwards

I think this is a more generic way of setting up SSH than before.
Now with "Remote Port Forwards", you login to remote DB with SQLDev interface
and send Oracle*Net protocol data or HTTP or SMTP data back to your PC, in my case, Windows7.

I think one interesting use case for this is "database link" between  2 separate networks.
For example, your OracleDB on IaaS/PaaS public cloud to another DB on your corporate data center.

I tested this 2 intranet subnets where only SSH protocol is allowed.
Firstly, I have 2 SSH host setup.

I want to create database link from M6 to Exadata. So I create "Remote Port Forward" on M6.

... and I plumb it to "Local Port Forward" to Exadata. Please notice that Port#1523 was used in both.

Now on M6, I can create database link like:

SQL>create database link SQLDev_TMP
   connect to scott identified by tiger
   using 'localhost:1522/orcl.exadata.mydomain';

I didn't go into detail because I don't think this 'database link' is supported. But this is useful for occasionally sending
small amount of data between DBs.

As some of you know the JavaOne 2015 CFP is now closed. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of those that submitted their thoughtful topics and all those who considered submitting. The outstanding quality of submissions is a testament to your passion for the Java community and it is a great start on the road to keeping JavaOne a true success. In terms of the Java EE track we now have all the raw material we need to construct a strong selection. In the next few weeks we will be working hard with the review committee to carefully sort through all the submissions we have at hand.

I want to remind you now not to be discouraged if you don't get the response you are hoping for. You should remember that you are competing against some of the best and brightest of Java at a global scale - especially so in the Java EE track. As much as we would like for things to be perfect in the end all of this is also based on all too fallible human judgement applied through a fairly intricate process designed with checks, balances and fairness in mind. If your session does not get accepted this year, you should definitely consider honing your submissions and trying again next year. If you are indeed selected I hope you see it as the testament to your abilities and good fortune it truly is. Either way, I hope you will consider coming to JavaOne to experience the incredible talent, energy and intellect in the air.

The Java EE Track Content Committee
I also want to take this opportunity to introduce you to the real decision makers in the track - the content selection committee members. Although I and my co-track lead Lance Andersen clearly do make decisions, I like to think of ourselves as mere coordinators of a very strongly democratic open collaborative team. The folks in the committee by far play the most important role in help shaping the track. They really deserve to be commended as most of them are community folks that contribute many hours of their time to help advance JavaOne. Below are the profiles of these good folks. If you have any questions on your submissions you should feel free to reach out to any one of them or us. In the next few weeks, I plan to publish interviews with some of these folks through the Aquarium blog.

Mit dem Solaris 11.2 Support Repository Update 10.5 (MOS Doc ID 2010909.1) ist jetzt für Solaris das OpenStack Juno Release verfügbar, das nicht nur einer ganze Reihe neuer Funktionalitäten enthält, sondern auch deutlich runder läuft als das Havana Release. Jetzt ist es auch möglich vom Horizon-Dashboard aus die Konsole eines Nova-Clienten (aka einer Solaris-Zone) über einen Browser-basierten VNC-Clienten aufzurufen - ein Feature, das in der Havana-Implementierung auf Solaris noch fehlte. Für diejenigen, die den Upgrade einer Havana-Umgebung auf Solaris planen, gibt es eine detailierte Anleitung. OpenStack-Upgrades gelten ja ganz allgemein als Herausforderung.

Für diejenigen, die sich damit auseinandersetzen wie man eine OpenStack-Umgebung mit mehreren Knoten hoch verfügbar machen kann, gibt es ein neues White Paper: Providing High Availability to the OpenStack Cloud Controller on Oracle Solaros with Oracle Solaris Cluster. Ganz praktisch ist die kleine Anleitung von Jim Kremer in seinem Blog zum Aufsetzen von Swift Services: Solaris Swift All in One.

Anlässlich des OpenStack Summits diese Woche in Vancouver gab es einige Ankündigungen, insbesondere die einer Zusammenarbeit mit Mirantis im Hinblick auf die Nutzung von Oracle Multitenant, Solaris und OpenStack für Database as a Service (DBaaS) insbesondere in Private Cloud Umgebungen über das noch recht neue OpenStack Murano Projekt (Oracle Pressemitteilung Oracle Collaborates with Mirantis to Bring Database as a Service Powered by Oracle Multitenant to OpenStack-Based Private Clouds, Blog Oracle Database Helps to Premiere New OpenStack Community App Catalog). Die Vorträge des OpenStack Summit sind übrigens alle in Form von Videos verfügbar - auch der Vortrag des Solaris-Engineering Chefs Markus Flierl: Making OpenStack Secure and Compliant for the Enterprise.

In Deutschland plant die DOAG einen OpenStack Day am 24. September in Stuttgart. Die genaue Agenda ist zwar noch offen, den Termin sollte man sich aber schon mal vormerken. Und für alle, die über eigene Erfahrungen berichten wollen, gibt es den Call for Presentations zur großen DOAG Konferenz 2015 im November in Nürnberg , der noch bis zum 15. Juni läuft.

El 21 de abril, Google anunció un cambio sísmico en su algoritmo de búsqueda móvil que va a cambiar el orden de cómo se clasifican los sitios web (páginas individuales) a través de la búsqueda móvil. Los sitios web que no están adaptados a los móviles (mobile friendly) puntuarán menos y aparecerán más abajo a pesar de que aparezcan en puestos altos en el ranking de bíusqueda de  páginas completas o en el de búsqueda móvil en los viejos tiempos. Esto cambia las reglas del juego; especialmente para las webs que han dedicado tiempo en optimizar el ranking de resultados de motores de búsqueda en Internet (SEO) y fueron cosechando los beneficios en el móvil.

Imagen exportada de aquí

El nuevo cambio de algoritmo de Google es un paso adelante en la mejora de la experiencia de búsqueda de los 3.65 mil millones de usuarios que acceden a Internet desde sus dispositivos inalámbricos. Ni que decir tiene, dado que ya hemos pasado oficialmente el "momento móviles", que este es un cambio en la dirección correcta. Para las empresas y los editores que han tomado las medidas necesarias en la construcción de sus webs que responden al dispositivo o han construido una versión móvil de su web por separado - se encontrarán con una gran ventaja cuando Google accione el interruptor. Ahora tendrán que competir contra las mejores palabras clave en móviles etc.

No dejes que tus páginas web desaparezcan de las búsquedas en dispositivos móviles.

Para otros, como los profesionales de recursos humanos, esto no es tan bueno. Por ejemplo, si eres uno de los principalescontratistas de defensa probablemente generará un alto volumen de visitas en los resultados de búsquedas  para perfiles de ingeniero, con lo cual es probable que salga en un ranking alto en las  búsquedas de trabajo para ingenieros que no se hacen desde móviles. Después del cambio tu ranking caerá dramáticamente en las búsquedas desde móviles. La buena noticia es que el cambio parece tener algún tiempo de retraso, lo que significa que si tu web de empleo está pendiente de optimización para móviles, la caída drástica en el número de visitantes a tu web no ocurrirá por el momento. Éste es el camino a seguir:

Revisa que tu web de empleo es ”mobile friendly”

Puedes realizar una comprobación rápida con la prueba de dispositivos móvil de Google o con  herramientas para webmasters. Una vez que rediseñe y publique sus páginas para móviles, Google volverá a procesar el contenido de su web para que sea optimizado para búsquedas móviles.

Toma medidas proactivas para habilitar la aplicación através del móvil.

El momento es ahora ya que Google no esperará a que se optimize la experiencia de los candidatos en los dispositivos móviles. El lugar que ocupan tus ofertas de trabajo en los listados de búsqueda de empleo son clave para tu empresa y si el proceso de aplicación del candidato en tu empresa es exclusivamente desde un ordenador entonces es probable que pueda perder un volumen significativo de potenciales candidatos. Una aplicación o sistema que te permita crear y publicar anuncios que estén optimizados tanto para móvil como para redes sociales reducirá el tiempo invertido en reaccionar a nuevos cambios de Google. Echa un vistazo a las soluciones de Oracle y descubre cómo te pueden ayudar.

Mantén contenidos relevantes para motores de búsqueda web

Mantén tu contenido actual y adaptado a tus candidatos. Contacta con expertos en motores de búsqueda en tu organización para desarrollar una estrategia de contenidos optimizados para las búsquedas en Internet. Pueden ayudarte a optimizar tu contenido respecto a términos relevantes de palabras clave, enlaces, etiquetas de título, etc., para lograr un mejor posicionamiento en el ranking de las oportunidades profesionales que ofrece la búsqueda. Esto no va a solucionar tu problema de dispositivos móviles, pero ayudará a mantener / mejorar las visitasde escritorio en elínterin.

Traffic Director 11.1.1.9 is now available for Exalogic and SuperCluster. Oracle Engineered Systems customers can now uptake Traffic Director 11.1.1.9 either as a new installation or simply installing on top of an existing Traffic Director 11.1.1.x release.

In addition to addressing several critical bug fixes, this service pack release also delivers the following key features:

1. Modern security protocols such as TLS /1.2 - relevant for every deployment. 

2. Native support for OEL 6.x and Solaris 11.2 platform.

3. Configure OTD to serve a HTML page - within the load balancer - during your application patching window !  Without this capability, several customers had to provision a web server - such as OHS - to address this use case.

4. Key UI refinements - View Origin server (WebLogic) online/offline status within the UI, Simplicity while viewing Load Balancer log files etc. 

5. Better deployment story for SuperCluster / Exalogic (Solaris) - High Availability Support on IB interfaces (even within Zones) on Solaris 11.2. This capability now allows customers to provision OTD in a HA fashion even within a Solaris Container.

For additional information, please refer to the Traffic Director OTN page

Introduced in Weblogic 12.1.2, dynamic clusters is a great feature to scale your private cloud.
Dynamic clusters provides you easy scaling of Weblogic clusters by adding and removing managed server instances on demand. They contain one or more dynamic servers. These dynamic servers are based on a single servertemplate that guarantees that every member of the cluster is exactly the same.

Creating Dynamic Clusters

Let's take a look at some of the possibilities as we create a dynamic cluster.

I have created a virtualbox environment.
This environment consists of four VM's with the following specs.

• 2 vCPU's
• 4 Gb memory
• 50 Gb disk

• Oracle Linux 6.6
• Java 1.7.0_75
• Weblogic 12.1.3.0.2

I created a simple domain called demo_domain with only an AdminServer and four machines.
After unpacking the domain to the four servers, the nodemanagers where started and are reachable by the AdminServer.

Now let go through the process of creating a dynamic cluster.
Open the Weblogic Console and navigate to Environment -> Clusters
Lock and Edit the domain in the Change Center. Read the complete article here.

If you search in Oracle Enterprise Repository for web services related to managing Sales Accounts (also known as Customers) then you'll find that several are returned.

• Sales Account Resource Service - related to the resources associate with the account.
  
• Sales Account Service - for a given party record, manage it as a sales account.
  
• Sales Party - manage the party usage for a given party

Whilst these are available for use, exactly which to use for creating net-new customer records is not very clear. Angelo Santagata's blog has an example (from some time ago) however you'll notice it requires some familiarization with the underlying Trading Community Architecture (TCA) data model and the construction of a hierarchy of related components that make up the completed customer record (party, party-usage, location, address etc). In addition using the services above also involves obtaining and passing internal ID values (like PartyID) through the sequence of service calls. For many cases this is more work than is required.

Starting in Release 9 there was a set of web services which greatly simplifies the creation of Sales Accounts (Customers), Addresses, Contacts, Households, and the Relationships between them. These are listed in OER with titles beginning "Sales Cloud ..." as shown below.

In this article we will look at the Sales Cloud Account Service, however each service in this group have similar operations, interfaces, attributes, and characteristics. The service WSDL's for all of these can be found below, and they each include the following operations (just replace Account with the object name): createAccount, updateAccount, deleteAccount, mergeAccount (which combines update and insert), findAccount, and processAccount (used for bulkloading).

Creating Sales Accounts / Customers

The key thing to note here is that most of the operations, including createAccount, accept similar values as the user interface, with no need for prerequisite calls to get internal ID's. As such the services will use the data provided to create new records such as address locations, and where additional context association is needed the user credentials associated with the web service request are used, such as for the Customer Account Owner value field (OwnerPartyId).

As you can see from the sample createAccount request below, the data input is simple.

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soap:Body><ns1:createAccount

In testing this we made a few observations compared to other payload samples available. Please review these if you encounter any problems:

• SourceSystem and SourceSystemReferenceValue attributes are not required to have any specific value.
• IndustryCodeType and the associated IndustryCode attributes are related to the CUSTOMER_CATEGORY system lookup, however when included can throw an exception unless matching data is configured (as it's a read-only attribute). It is not a required field and as such in this example it was removed.
• CreatedByModule was set to SALES so it is inline with records created by the UI.
• One the request is processed the Sales Account is available in the UI for use, as there is no additional approval or processing.
• The default type is ZCA_CUSTOMER for creating customers, however you can use ZCA_PROSPECT to create prospects also.
  

Finding The Account Records

All of these services support the standardized findCriteria used throughout Sales Cloud, and hence again requires no internal Id values. As used in the example below it is recommended to include some filtering or a fetchSize limit to avoid performance problems, and to use the findAttribute element in your request so to return only the attributes values you need, as by default the response payload contains dozens of attributes for each record. 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:typ="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/crmCommon/salesParties/accountService/types/"
xmlns:typ1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/svc/types/"><soapenv:Header/><soapenv:Body><typ:findAccount><typ:findCriteria>   <typ1:fetchStart>0</typ1:fetchStart>   <typ1:fetchSize>-1</typ1:fetchSize>   <typ1:filter>    <typ1:group>    <typ1:conjunction>And</typ1:conjunction>    <typ1:upperCaseCompare/>    <typ1:item>     <typ1:conjunction>And</typ1:conjunction>      <typ1:upperCaseCompare>false</typ1:upperCaseCompare>      <typ1:attribute>CreationDate</typ1:attribute>      <typ1:operator>AFTER</typ1:operator>      <typ1:value>2015-05-01</typ1:value>    </typ1:item>    </typ1:group>   <typ1:nested/>    </typ1:filter>   <typ1:findAttribute>PartyUniqueName</typ1:findAttribute>  </typ:findCriteria>  <typ:findControl>    <typ1:retrieveAllTranslations>false</typ1:retrieveAllTranslations>  </typ:findControl></typ:findAccount></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>

If you are using Application Composer then you can use the SalesAccountVO to create/query these records or alternatively call the findAccount web service operation passing in the following equivalent map:

 def findCriteria = [filter: [ group: [ [ item: [ 
  [ attribute :'CreationDate', operator :'AFTER', value :[[item:'2015-05-01']] ], 
  ] ] ] ], findAttribute:[[item:'PartyUniqueName']]]
 def findControl = [ ] 
 def acts = adf.webServices.SimplifiedAccountService.findAccount(findCriteria, findControl)
 def actlist = acts[0].Value
 setAttribute('SelectedAccounts_c',actlist) 

Of course you'd want to manipulate the returned Array before using the setAttribute, and recommended ways of doing this will be covered in a separate article related to handling web service responses in Groovy.

Updating Records

To use the updateAccount service operation you will need the PartyId value for your Sales Account.

This is available from either the createAccount or findAccount response payloads.

Using this you can use this operation to change any of the attributes available in the Sales Cloud Account SDO.

Customer Contacts and Relationships

The Sales Cloud Contacts service allows you to create contact records.

Contacts have an underlying type, specifying if they can be sold-to directly (type ZCA_CUSTOMER), for use as a prospect (type ZCA_PROSPECT), or are a standard Business Contact (type ZCA_CONTACT). When you create a contact records via the web service this defaults to the ZCA_CONTACT type which is recommended for basic use. In this case the type element is not included in the request payload (see the whitepaper for a sample).

Once records are created use the Sales Cloud Relationships Service createRelationship operation to associate your Contact with a particular Account/Customer. You do the association by supplying either the PartyID or the PartyNumber attributes for your Account and Contact records. Both are returned in the related create response payloads and again are also available in the findAccount / findContact operations.

In the following example the ObjectPartyId is the Account and the SubjectPartyId is the Contact. The relationship type and code ensure that this is shown on the UI under the list of contacts for this supplier, and you can specify start and end dates to setup accurate data for your users.

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><soap:Body><ns1:createRelationship 
 xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/crmCommon/salesParties/relationshipService/types/"><ns1:relationship

Addresses and Households

These two additional services emulate the structure and functionality of the Account Service mentioned above, and for Households contacts can be associated through the relationship as also described.

New addresses are created as part of the top level object creation services, however if you wish to create more then this is possible using the Address Service.

Hibernate ORM is an object/relational mapping framework for Java. Out-of-box, Hibernate supports two open source connection pools C3P0 and Proxool.

Universal Connection Pool (UCP) is Oracle’s feature-rich Java connection pool, replacing the Implicit Connection Cache (ICC), which has been de-supported in Oracle Database 12c. Besides standard connection pooling features, UCP has also been designed for scalability and high-availability during planned and unplanned database downtimes, with seamless support for Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), Active Data Guard (ADG) and Global Data Services (GDS).

This article illustrates a couple of options for using Oracle Universal Connection Pool (UCP) with Hibernate. The code samples are for demonstration purpose only.

Using UCP data source via JNDI lookup

If the target application can use JNDI to lookup a data source (for example, when using Tomcat), then users can specify a UCP data source for Hibernate to use, by using the Hibernate property "hibernate.connection.datasource". This can be done either declaratively in a Hibernate configuration file (XML or properties file), or programmatically on org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.

For example, after binding a UCP PoolDataSource in JNDI, users can specify in hibernate.cfg.xml:

All the UCP connection pool and data source configurations should be done on the PoolDataSource, before binding it in JNDI.

Using UCP data source with Spring framework

If the target application can use Spring along with Hibernate, then UCP data sources can be configured in Spring configuration XML files.

For example:

Implementing UCP as a Hibernate ConnectionProvider

If the target application is standalone and cannot use the two options above, Hibernate provides the ConnectionProvider interface to integrate with a third-party JDBC connection provider. Users need to implement this interface and then specify the implementation class to Hibernate.

The ConnectionProvider interface has changed with different Hibernate versions. As of Hibernate 4.x, the interface is org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.connections.spi.ConnectionProvider. We will use that version for illustration.

The following is an example implementation of ConnectionProvider that plugs in a UCP data source. It has been tested using Hibernate 4.3.8. Note that the Hibernate 4.x version of the interface no longer provides the configure(Properties hibernateProperties) method, so this example simply overrides the DriverManagerConnectionProviderImpl which provides a similar method. An alternative is for the interface implementation to load the configuration properties from its own properties file or explicitly from the hibernate.properties file.

With UCP ConnectionProvider implementation ready, application can declaratively specify the implementation class name using the Hibernate property "hibernate.connection.provider_class".

Below is an example hibernate.cfg.xml file including the UCP-specific configuration properties:

Conclusion

In this article, we illustrated three options for using UCP with Hibernate. In all three cases, UCP will function as the connection pool for Hibernate’s JDBC connections and intercept JDBC connection checkouts and checkins without additional application code changes. This allows applications to utilize UCP’s full pooling capabilities including all the scalability and high-availability features for Oracle RAC, ADG, and GDS.

This article illustrates the steps to use Oracle Universal Connection Pool (UCP) with the Spring framework, using a sample application built using the JDBC template.

• Assume there is a simple table EMP in the database with a single column “name” that is loaded with employee information (i.e., employee names).
• Consider the following example DAO class in the package “test”:
• The following is an example of the Row mapper implementation class for the EMP table:
• The following class is the example of a java class that uses the JDBC Template for implementing the business logic:
• The XML configuration file should specify UCP's oracle.ucp.jdbc.PoolDataSourceImpl as the data source class along with relevant connection pool properties, such as the initial-pool-size, max-pool-size, etc. For this sample, the XML configuration file is named "HelloAppConf.xml".
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd"><!-- Initialization for data source --><bean id="dataSource" class="oracle.ucp.jdbc.PoolDataSourceImpl"><property name="connectionFactoryClassName" value="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource"/><property name="URL" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@//host:port/service_name"/><property name="user" value="scott"/><property name="password" value="tiger"/><property name="maxPoolSize" value="10"/><property name="initialPoolSize" value="5"/></bean><!-- Definition for EmpJDBCTemplate bean --><bean id="EmpJDBCTemplate" class="test.EmpJDBCTemplate"><property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/></bean></beans>
• The main application code looks like the following. The application using the JDBC template will internally use the Universal Connection Pool (UCP) for connection check-outs and check-ins.
