Create XSD from XML instance document – new JDeveloper 11gR1 feature
While looking into the XML functionality in JDeveloper 11g, I came across a feature that was added in the 11.1.1.1.0 release – July 2009: [Create] XML Schema from XML Document. Functionality previously found in commercial products such as XMLSpy, that enables us to make a head start with the development of XML Schema Definitions by using an existing XML Document as starting point.
In this article, I will very briefly demonstrate what this functionality allows us to do. And what its current limitations are.
In short: we can indicate an XML document and have an XSD created that derives its element, type and attribute definitions from the actual XML content in that document. Most XML documents do not represent the entire set of restrictions and freedom that the XSD will describe, so the generated XSD is only a starting point – but a very useful one all the same.
At this moment, the XML source document has to exist on the file system (we cannot feed the tool with a URL). The created XSD document does not work well with multiple namespaces – as well will see in this example. The tool does not create named (complexTypes) – only (nested) elements. It does create, when so requested, More >
Book Review: Processing XML Documents with Oracle JDeveloper 11g by Deepak Vohra
A few months ago I came across a relatively new book: Processing XML Documents with Oracle JDeveloper 11g by Deepak Vohra (370 pages, Packt Publishing, ISBN 978-1-847196-66-8, February 2009).
It is an interesting mix of topics, all having to do with XML and most directly related to JDeveloper. The topcis and chapters do not at all times seem logically bundled together (for example design time and run time seem to be somewhat strangely intermingled in the book) but they provide a lot of useful information to any developer working on applications that involve XML in some way (and which one does not today) using JDeveloper as an IDE or Oracle XDK 11g..
And JDeveloper 11g’s XML capabilities may not be entirely on par with single issue IDEs such as XMLSpy, it certainly does a very good job at many frequent and less frequent XML tasks. This book does a good job at showing the various XML specific features of JDeveloper – although it also fails to mention one or two. It contains many examples of writing Java code to process XML in some way, primarily using XDK 11g; those examples are not always really specifically related to JDeveloper 11g, as the code uses standard libraries that can More >
Logging in JDeveloper 11g / WebLogic Server
When developing an application it makes sense to add logging to this application. The Apache Commons Logging is a way to implement logging to your application independent of the eventually used implementation. While adding log messages to a Fusion Web Application (ADF) and running this application with JDeveloper the logging is not displayed in the application log window. This is not what expected en certainly undesirable. (more…)
Rapid development of Rich JSF Web applications on top of EJB/JPA persistence (JSF on Rails – Demo 1)
Here you will find the first demo from my Devoxx 2008 presentation. It shows how you can rapidly create a rich web application based on Java Server Faces and EJB/JPA persistency using JDeveloper 11g and the ADF 11g framework. The presentation included below shows the steps one by one to create a rich web application. The JDeveloper 11g application can be downloaded as well. The end result looks something like:
it includes such features as: master detail tables with synchronization; column sort; run time column manipulation: resize, reposition and hide/show; popup with detailed context data; data driven, synchronized chart; accordion for better page real estate usage.
EJB Dependency Injection of Session Bean Facade in JSF 1.2 on WebLogic 10.3 (JSF with JPA)
As I was preparing for my Devoxx presentation next Monday, I decided to look at the somewhat harder way of integrating a JPA based business tier into a JavaServer Faces web tier. The easy way – when using the ADF 11g framework in JDeveloper 11g is creating a Data Control for the Session Facade Bean. The Web Application can create data bindings for entities, entity collections and operations exposed in the Session Facade Bean that completely hide the injection or lookup details from the web tier developer. It’s the ADF responsibility to find the session bean and manage references to it.
However, if you do not use ADF, you need to establish the link between the Web Application and the JPA Business Service yourself.
The JEE 5 way of achieving this consists of a few simple steps – on top of the JPA entity definitions: (more…)
Extending the RestLet application with support for POST/PUT to create and update Resources
In a previous post – First Steps with RestLet 1.1RC2 in JDeveloper 11g – restful services 101 – I introduced RestLet and how to use it for creating very simple RestFul services in JDeveloper 11g. This contribution takes things a little further: the things and thing service discussed in the prior article only support read only operations: GET requests. In this article, we will add the ability to create and update things.
Since creation is done based on simple HTTP request of type POST, all we need for a Thing Create Client is a static HTML page with form that posts to the /things url of our RestFul service. The post request should contain the properties of the new thing we want to have created. It is up to the RestFul service to handle the post request. More specifically: the ThingsResource class will take on the Post request sent to the /things service and try to create a new thing based on it. (more…)
