3 Oracle® Database: Programmatic Interfaces

This chapter describes the different language options and elements you must work with and issues to consider in preparing your Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing (AQ) application environment.

Note:

Java package oracle.AQ was deprecated in 10g Release 1 (10.1). Oracle recommends that you migrate existing Java AQ applications to Oracle JMS (or other Java APIs) and use Oracle JMS (or other Java APIs) to design your future Java AQ applications.

This chapter contains these topics:

Using PL/SQL to Access Oracle® Database

The PL/SQL packages DBMS_AQADM and DBMS_AQ support access to Oracle® Database administrative and operational functions using the native Oracle® Database interface. These functions include:

Available PL/SQL DBMS_AQADM and DBMS_AQ functions are listed in detail in Table 3-2 through Table 3-9.

Using OCI to Access Oracle® Database

OCI provides an interface to Oracle® Database functions using the native Oracle® Database interface.

An OCI client can perform the following actions:

In addition, OCI clients can receive asynchronous notifications for new messages in a queue using OCISubscriptionRegister.

See Also:

"OCI and Advanced Queuing" and "Publish-Subscribe Notification" in Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide for syntax details

Oracle Type Translator

For queues with user-defined payload types, the Oracle type translator must be used to generate the OCI/OCCI mapping for the Oracle type. The OCI client is responsible for freeing the memory of the Oracle® Database descriptors and the message payload.

Using OCCI to Access Oracle® Database

C++ applications can use OCCI, which has a set of Oracle® Database interfaces that enable messaging clients to access Oracle® Database. OCCI AQ supports all the operational functions required to send/receive and publish/subscribe messages in a message-enabled database. Synchronous and asynchronous message consumption is available, based on a message selection rule.

See Also:

"Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing" in Oracle C++ Call Interface Programmer's Guide

Using Visual Basic (OO4O) to Access Oracle® Database

Visual Basic (OO4O) supports access to Oracle® Database operational functions using the native Oracle® Database interface.

These functions include the following:

Note:

Because the database handles message propagation, OO4O does not differentiate between remote and local recipients. The same sequence of calls/steps are required to dequeue a message for local and remote recipients.

Using Oracle Java Message Service (OJMS) to Access Oracle® Database

Java Message Service (JMS) is a messaging standard defined by Sun Microsystems, Oracle, IBM, and other vendors. JMS is a set of interfaces and associated semantics that define how a JMS client accesses the facilities of an enterprise messaging product.

Oracle Java Message Service (OJMS) provides a Java API for Oracle® Database based on the JMS standard. OJMS supports the standard JMS interfaces and has extensions to support administrative operations and other features that are not a part of the standard.

Standard JMS features include:

Oracle JMS extensions include:

Accessing Standard and Oracle JMS Applications

Standard JMS interfaces are in the javax.jms package. Oracle JMS interfaces are in the oracle.jms package. You must have EXECUTE privilege on the DBMS_AQIN and DBMS_AQJMS packages to use the Oracle JMS interfaces. You can also acquire these rights through the AQ_USER_ROLE or the AQ_ADMINSTRATOR_ROLE. You also need the appropriate system and queue or topic privileges to send or receive messages.

Because Oracle JMS uses Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) to connect to the database, its applications can run outside the database using the JDBC OCI driver or JDBC thin driver.

Using JDBC OCI Driver or JDBC Thin Driver

To use JMS with clients running outside the database, you must include the appropriate JDBC driver, Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) jar files, and Oracle® Database jar files in your CLASSPATH.

For JDK 1.3.x and higher, include the following in the CLASSPATH:

$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes12.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/jlib/orail8n.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/jlib/jta.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/jlib/jndi.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/lib/xmlparserv2.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/xdb.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/aqapi13.jar 
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/jmscommon.jar

For JDK 1.2 include the following in the CLASSPATH:

$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes12.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/jlib/orail8n.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/jlib/jta.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/jlib/jndi.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/lib/xmlparserv2.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/xdb.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/aqapi12.jar
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/jmscommon.jar

Using Oracle Server Driver in JServer

If your application is running inside the JServer, then you should be able to access the Oracle JMS classes that have been automatically loaded when the JServer was installed. If these classes are not available, then you must load jmscommon.jar followed by aqapi.jar using the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/initjms SQL script.

Using Oracle® Database XML Servlet to Access Oracle® Database

You can use Oracle® Database XML servlet to access Oracle® Database over HTTP using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and an Oracle® Database XML message format called Internet Data Access Presentation (IDAP).

Using the Oracle® Database servlet, a client can perform the following actions:

See Also:

"Deploying the Oracle® Database XML Servlet" for more information on the Oracle® Database XML servlet

Comparing Oracle® Database Programmatic Interfaces

Available functions for the Oracle® Database programmatic interfaces are listed by use case in Table 3-2 through Table 3-9. Use cases are described in Chapter 8 through Chapter 10 and Chapter 12 through Chapter 15.

Oracle® Database Administrative Interfaces

Table 3-2 lists the equivalent Oracle® Database administrative functions for the PL/SQL and Java (JMS) programmatic interfaces.
