0 Introduction In my previous blog I’ve explained what a Canonical Data Model (CDM) is and why you should use it. This blog is about how to do this. I will share my experiences on how to create and use a CDM. I gained these experiences at several projects, small ones, […]
0 0 This blog is about XML namespace standards. Primary for using them in a Canonical Data Model (CDM), but also interesting for anyone who has to define XML data by creating XML Schema files (XSD). This blogpost is the second part of a trilogy about my experiences in using and developing […]
0 0 Introduction This blogpost is part III, the last part of a trilogy on how to create and use a Canonical Data Model (CDM). The first blogpost contains part I in which I share my experiences in developing a CDM and provide you with lots of standards and guidelines for creating […]
2 0 Introduction The last few years I’ve been working in several SOA related projects, small projects as well as quite large projects. Almost all of these projects use a Canonical Data Model (CDM). In this post I will explain what a CDM is and point out what the benefits are of […]
2 0 There are situations where I have to create an XPath expression that performs something like if-then-else logic (similar to a CASE or DECODE expression in SQL or a ternary operator in Java or JavaScript). Unfortunately, XPath 1.0 – a version still widely found – does not support the XPath 2.0 […]
0 0 Introduction Reading files using SOA Suite is very easy as the file-adapter is a powerfull adapter. However, processing of large files is less trivial. You don’t want to read the huge file into memory and then process it. Preferable you process it in smaller chunks. Chunking the file using the […]

0 0 XMLIndex support for Hash Partitioning is now also supported in Oracle 12c. In Oracle 11 there was already support for RANGE and LIST partitioning, but not yet for HASH partitioning. Some examples for the later two:
0 0 New in Oracle 12c and one of the big new features in XMLDB is the XQuery Full Text functionality and, as mentioned in the post about XQuery Update, is the official W3C standard to handle unstructured pieces of XML content. The XQuery Full Text and XQuery Full Text Index extends […]
0 0 New, new…? No, not really new, XQuery Update (W3C standard/draft 2011) was already implemented in 11.2.0.3.0, but is now officially also announced. Besides the XQuery Full Text support (XQFT for short, W3C standard/draft 2011), this is one of the big new features in Oracle 12c. With this update XQuery functionality, […]
0 0 A small enhancement, but what a golden nugget! At least that’s what I think. 😉 It is now possible in Oracle 12c to export data via a view. I my realm, Oracle XMLDB, that can be an interesting feature to export stored XML content in a relational format and import […]
0 0 Is this one of my highlights? No not really, but it is a remarkable one. Oracle XMLDB functionality is now mandatory and can not be uninstalled. As mentioned in the new feature section of the Oracle XMLDB Developers Guide for Oracle 12c: Oracle XML DB is now a mandatory component […]

Dit jaar belooft het symposium een garantstelling voor inhoudelijk hoogstaande presentaties en discussies, want naast presentaties van Tom Kyte, Cary Millsap, Maria Colgan en Steven Feuerstein over performance, worden er ook onderwerpen […]
0 0 Vorig jaar heb ik behoorlijk wat vragen gekregen over of er een tool was, een methodiek, om BAG data van het Nederlandse Kadaster in een Oracle database te krijgen voor allerlei doeleinden. Basisregistraties Adressen en Gebouwen (BAG) data wordt onder andere uitgeleverd door het Kadaster in XML bestanden waarin alle […]
0 0 Als sluitstuk van de jaarlijkse Oracle OpenWorld conferentie brengt AMIS een whitepaper uit. Een handzaam document waarin het volledige verhaal van Oracle OpenWorld 2012 is gebundeld. Een team van AMIS was tijdens de conferentie in oktober nadrukkelijk aanwezig; als sponsor, deelnemer, netwerker en spreker – en als aandachtig luisteraar en […]
0 0 Just finished my Birds of a Feather XMLDB panel session in the Marriott Hotel and now looking back on a event full day. It all started of with a Keynote session with among others Mark Hurd. the most interesting bit, in my honest opinion, was the announcement of more details […]
0 0 I posted, as (my) tradition dictates, the Oracle agenda overview of XMLDB sessions during Oracle Open World 2012. I already signed up for the HOL10055 session but yesterday I also got a quick peek of it’s contents this year. And yes, I can promise you, it is a must go, […]
0 0 On a recent project, I ran into a problem with an XML document, that had to be enclosed within another XML document, generated from a database query. The problem I ran into was the character encoding of the XMLElement function, which eventually was worked around with UPDATEXML. In this blog […]
0 0 I was asked by Jože Senegačnik, if I would be would be interested in doing a Masterclass/Seminar in Slovenia and, yes of course, I really liked the idea. So after having a quick look in my agenda, regarding my free time, we started to set things up. This 2 day […]
0 0 In my previous post I described how to create a Report (CDBooklet) with JasperReport in Java. Follow this link to take a look at the post ‘Using Java to create a report with the JasperReport java API’ For this new post I created a webservice wrapper around this reporting functionality […]
0 0 In this blog I will describe how to create a Report with JasperReport in Java. For this purpose I have used the Communitie edition of iReport. This edition contains besides JasperReport also iReport. iReport is a report designer for JasperReport. You can download it from http://jasperforge.org/projects/ireport After installation I started […]
0 0 In a previous post I’ve explained the Schematron standard, how it works and how to use it. In the Oracle SOA Suite you can ‘Validate Semantic’ on the input (request) of a routing rule in a Mediator component by selecting a Schematron file. This is the Schemtron xml file in […]
0 0 People who have attended the UKOUG presentation this year where Mark Drake, Sr. Product Manager XML Technologies / XMLDB, Oracle HQ, and I demonstrated the first principles of the XDB Repository, might have been impressed with its (GEO/KML Spatial, Image EXIF info) capabilities combined with Google Earth. This post will […]
0 0 Last Thuesday, Mark Drake, Senior Product Manager and I, delivered a good presentation during UKOUG in Birmingham about how to use your database, via XMLDB functionality, as a file server. The presentation demonstrated as well how you could extent the “standaard” file server (aka your database) functionality with features like, […]
0 0 This presentation will hopefully convince database developers that types in the Oracle Database are worth their salt – and more. With the recent improvements in 11gR2, the pieces are available to complete the puzzle of structured and modern programming with a touch of OO and more importantly to create a […]
0 0 UKOUG 2011 is nearby and one of the coolest things in Oracle 11g and onwards is, IMHO, a functionality called XDB Repository Events. Most of you probably know that based on XMLDB functionality in the database, the database also can be used in a File server kind of way by […]
0 0 Last day of Oracle Open World and I am currently attending the last presentations. The first presentation, “Oracle XMLDB: A noSQL Approach to Managing all your Unstructured Data”, deals with the no-SQL approach and using Oracle XML DB in the context of using it with “Big Data”, that is unstructured […]
0 0 I just made use of the very cool OTN Virtual Developer Day Database site. In this environment you can follow OTN Developer Day sessions, for example, at home, while making use of all the material available on that site plus the downloadable Virtualbox OTN Developer Day Appliance. Despite you can […]
0 0 Lately, we have been introducing Selenium based testing for many our ADF Faces based web applications. Or rather, our testers created the tests for the web pages using Selenium. And did so quite successfully. However, certain test scripts seemed to fall apart after having been run only a few times. […]
0 0 In a previous blog Lucas used JSoup to collect data from a web page. In this post I’ll show a declarative way to screen scrape data with the help of Google Documents. The following webpage http://www.databaseolympics.com/games/gamesyear.htm?g=26 contains the olympic data I would like to import Open a new Google spreadsheet […]
0 0 While preparing for the new SOA for Java Professionals training program at AMIS, I was recently working on a section discussing XQuery and more specifically the ability to use XQuery from Java as an alternative to JAXB binding to POJOs on the one hand and DOM based XPath searches on […]
0 0 In this blog I will show you how you can call a webservice programmatically in Java without using a webservice library like JAX-WS or Apache Axis. Normally you would use of course a webservice library, but in some cases this can be useful and quick; for example when you have […]
0 0 As a followup to my recent article on how to Produce and XML document based on data in a POJO structure using JAXB (https://technology.amis.nl/blog/12499/creating-an-xml-document-based-on-my-pojo-domain-model-how-will-jaxb-help-me) I will describe in this article how to go the reverse route: how to take any XML document and process it into a Java Object graph. […]
0 0 The challenge is a common one. We have got data in a domain model, based on POJOs. And we need to marshall that data into an XML document. Note that the exact structure of that document is not so important – we will probably translate is somewhere anyway. At this […]
