Calling PL/SQL Procedure and Function in Oracle ADF

Hi all,
Migrating Oracle forms applications to ADF the one of the biggest issue is what to do with you existing PL/SQL code.
As we all aware that ADF is JEE technology based and it cannot directly interact with PL/SQL as we used to do in
Oracle forms application.
The simplest solution is to migrate your existing code to the database and use that PL/SQL as exposed web-service
in our ADF application and today i will show you the example of it.
Where should the business logic code resides?
Its a million dollar question and my views that It depends on application to application. If we analyze that this code
can work inside database so we should move it to database and if the logic depends on some UI interaction (e.g
looping over the rows etc etc) then it should be the combination of both.
Mr.Tom Kyte (asktom.oracle.com) shared his experience in one of his presentations about migrating business logic
code to database and i agreed with him in some context.
Migrating business logic code to database is better choice as we can manage our code centralized and also you
never know what will happen in next 5 to 10 years technology changing quickly today Java, ADF is HOT tomorrow
who knows :) so logic stored in database will save us from major re-writing the same code again.
In this example:
- We will use Oracle default HR Schema.
- We will create a stored package in PL/SQL which will insert some data into table.
- We will create a stored function which will return the complete name of Employee i.e First_name||' '||Last_name.
- We will add a code in our Application ModuleImpl Class and expose all methods to client interface.
- Integrate those methods on JSF page.
I assumed that you are already setup a project with at least Application Module (AM)
Create PL/SQL Package Procedure and function:
Note: for sake of understanding i am keeping things simple

--Table to wok with Procedure.
?
create table logger
(log_time timestamp)
tablespace users;
-- Procedure
http://www.baigzeeshan.com/2010/05/calling-plsql-procedure-and-function-in.html
create or replace procedure insert_into_logger as
pragma autonomous_transaction;
begin
insert into logger
values(systimestamp);
commit;
end insert_into_logger;
-- Function
?
1
2
3
4
5
create or replace function get_emp_fullname (empid in number) return varchar2

as
v_full_name varchar2(120);
begin
select first_name||' '||last_name
into v_full_name
from employees
where employee_id = empid;
9
10
11
12
13
14
return v_full_name;
exception
when no_data_found then
return null;
end get_emp_fullname;
Generate Java Class for Application Module

Double click the Application Module and click the Pencil Icon appearing with the Java classes.
- Check the first checkbox and Press OK
Double click the AppModuleImpl.java under your Application Module and add the following code note that this code is
based on my example if you function and procedure taking more argument you need to slightly change the code you
can check examples here
1
2
private static int VARCHAR2 = Types.VARCHAR;
3
protected Object callStoredFunction(int sqlReturnType, String stmt,

Object[] bindVars) {
4
5
CallableStatement st = null;
try {
7
8
9
// 1. Create a JDBC CallabledStatement

st =
getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement("begin ? := " + stmt +
";end;",
10
0);
11
// 2. Register the first bind variable for the return value
12
st.registerOutParameter(1, sqlReturnType);
13
if (bindVars != null) {
// 3. Loop over values for the bind variables passed in, if any
14
for (int z = 0; z < bindVars.length; z++) {
15
// 4. Set the value of user-supplied bind vars in the stmt
16
st.setObject(z + 2, bindVars[z]);
17
}
18
19
20
21
}
// 5. Set the value of user-supplied bind vars in the stmt
st.executeUpdate();
// 6. Return the value of the first bind variable
22
return st.getObject(1);
23
} catch (SQLException e) {
24
25
26
27
throw new JboException(e);

} finally {
if (st != null) {
try {
28
// 7. Close the statement
29
st.close();
30
} catch (SQLException e) {
31
32
33
34
}
}
35
- Add Method to call database functions
?
public String getEmpFullName(Number n) {
return (String)callStoredFunction(VARCHAR2, "get_emp_fullname(?)",

new Object[] { n });
3
4
public void logProcedure() {
2
3
getDBTransaction().executeCommand("begin insert_into_logger; end;");

}
- Right click and choose Make to compile the file.

Go to again Application Module and below Java class and click Client Interface to Expose methods on Client
interface. Shuttle the methods to selected area and Click OK
- Open the JSF page and expand the data control

- Drag the logProcedure Method to the page and choose ADF button
- Drag the getEmpFullname function to the page and choose ADF parameter form (it is a function so we have to bind
the input and return values)
-Drag and drop the String (output parameter) as Output Text
- The page on design time look like this
- Right click and choose Run . Enter 100 in the Input Parameter and Press Get Employee Name Button.
- Press Test Log procedure button couple of times.
- Query the logger table as we can see the procedure inserting timestamp data
Call PL/SQL function in Backing Bean Using

Application Module Client Interface
Posted by: Manish Pandey March 13, 2014 in ADF Leave a comment 6251 Views
Today Im going to discuss about a very common use case of how to call pl/sql function in backing Bean as the
database connection object is not available in backing bean.
Heres step by step procedure to call pl/sql function in backing been using Client Interface.
Sample Code
1. Create ApplicationModuleImpl class.
2. Write following line of code to call database function (getAmtText is a pl/sql function which return enter no to Words
Format.)

1.
2.
3.
4.
public String getAmtText(String Amt)

{
String amttext="";
String sp = "{? = call (amt_text(?))}";

Connection conn = null;

CallableStatement proc = null;
try {
proc = getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement(sp,0);
proc.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.VARCHAR);
proc.setObject(2, Amt);
proc.executeQuery();
amttext= proc.getString(1);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e);
}
return amttext;
}
3. Add function to Client Interface.
4. Bind component on jspx page as MethodAction
5. Write follwing lines of code to excute ClientInterface Method action on Backing Bean.

ot1.setValue(amttext);
}
Result :
Create PL/SQL Function And Call It From Your ADF Application

In many situations you need to create PL/SQL function in your database and call it from your
application. This post will illustrate how to create PL/SQL function in your database and how to call this
function. The next example will be applied in HR Schema which we will create a PL function that take
an employee Id and return his name. Follow these steps:
1- Create new ADF Application assume Application name "UsingPLSQLFunction_Application".
2- Create new page assume its name "index.jspx".
3- Your Application should like this
4- Right-click in your model project -- > new -->

ADF Business Components --> Business Components From Tables. Then Press Ok.
5- Choose you database connection (assume HR

Schema).
6-Choose EMPLOYEES Table as an Entity. Then Choose Employees as Updatable view object. Then
press in finish button.
7- Open your database navigator then open your application connection then right-click on Function
then choose New Function.
8- Enter Function Name as
"GET_EMPLOYEE_NAME" then press ok.

this function :
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GET_EMPLOYEE_NAME (emp_id NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
emp_name VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
select FIRST_NAME into emp_name from employees
where EMPLOYEE_ID=emp_id;
RETURN emp_name;
END GET_EMPLOYEE_NAME;
9- Write
10 - Open your Application Module and
generate AppModuleImplfile.
and write this function
11- Open this file
imports:
import java.sql.CallableStatement;
import java.sql.SQLException;import java.sql.Types;
import oracle.jbo.JboException;
public String getEmployeeName(int empId){
CallableStatement cs=null;
try{
cs=getDBTransaction().createCallableStatement("begin ? := GET_EMPLOYEE_NAME(?); end;",0);
cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.VARCHAR);
cs.setInt(2, empId);
cs.executeUpdate();
return cs.getString(1);
}catch(SQLException e){
throw new JboException(e);
}
}
12- Open AppModule -- > java --> client Interface then shuttle this function.
13- From your Data Control drag your function in
the page then choose ADF Parameter Form.

14- Right-click in the generated button then choose "Create Method Binding For Action" then create a
manged bean.
15- The commandButton Method will be like this

public String cb1_action() {
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("getEmployeeName");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
System.out.println("Result= " + result); // result will be the output of PL function
if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
return null;
}
return null;
}
16- Save your Application then run index.jspx.
