Oracle User Type Mappings

[thisregistrationsucks]

I have inherited an application system where all of the business logic takes place in the database.  All of the application calls to the database interface with Functions and Stored Procedures and use Oracle User Data Types as both IN and OUT parameters.  I'm working on converting the front end to use Spring w/ Hibernate and I am extending the org.springframework.jdbc.object.StoredProcedure class to interact with the database.

If I define the datasource in the Spring configuration file I am able to call getConnection().setTypeMap(Map<String, Class<?>> on the datasource and everything works fine.

However I would like to configure the datasource in JBoss and use a JNDI lookup to get a connection from the pool.  When I do this, the .setTypeMap(Map<String, Class<?>> method no longer seems to work.  I keep getting the exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.sql.STRUCT cannot be cast to ............

I tried editing the standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml file and adding the mappings there but that did not work.

So how can I set the Type Map for the JBoss DataSource?

JBoss 5.1

Spring 3.0

Hibernate 3.3

JDK 6

Thanks

Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller?  Bueller?

The object I am getting back from the JNDI call is a org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.jdk5.WrappedconnectionJDK5 object.  It looks like it supports the setTypeMap(Map<String, Object>) method but it doesn't seem to be working.

I really need to get this problem solved so I welcome any and all helpful suggestions.

Thanks.

Please post the entire exception stacktrace and the relevant code.

I'm not completely sure what the issue is, but if you trying to get the real connection to the DB, then you'll first have to call getUnderlyingConnection() on that object, something like this http://community.jboss.org/message/225667#225667

By the way, the type-mapping come into picture only for EJB2.x Container Managed Persistence.

Sorry for the bad formatting, I'm not used to this forum interface.  Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Try:

Connection c = dataSource.getConnection();
org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.WrappedConnection wc = (WrappedConnection) c;
wc.getUnderlyingConnection().setTypeMap(MyMappings.TYPE_MAP);

[thisregistrationsucks]

I gave that a try and got this exception:

[jaikiran]

It works fine for me. Are you sure, you used the right code? What does the following print:

     DataSource ds = (DataSource) new InitialContext().lookup("java:DefaultDS"); // replace this with your datasource deployed in JBoss
      con = ds.getConnection(); 
      System.out.println("Connection is " + con); 
      org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.WrappedConnection wc = (WrappedConnection) con; 
      Connection uc = wc.getUnderlyingConnection(); 
      System.out.println("Underlying Connection is " + uc);

[thisregistrationsucks]

I implemented this code:

DataSource ds = (DataSource)

new InitialContext().lookup("jdbc/MyDS"); // replace this with your datasource deployed in JBoss

Connection con = ds.getConnection();

System.out.println("Connection is " + con.getClass().getName());

org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.WrappedConnection wc = (WrappedConnection) con;

Connection uc = wc.getUnderlyingConnection();

System.out.println("Underlying Connection is " + uc);

And I get this error:

13:48:50,276 INFO [STDOUT] Connection is $Proxy339

Looks like you are using the datasource configured through Spring beans. I'm not sure how Spring works, but it looks like it creates a proxy to the original datasource. Why not remove that spring configuration and just use the *-ds.xml?

[thisregistrationsucks]

I'm pretty sure:

new InitialContext().lookup("jdbc/MyDS");

gets the data source from the JNDI context as defined in JBoss in the myDS-ds.xml file.

To get the Spiring data source bean I use:

org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext.getBean("dataSource");

Ultimately I need the Spring configuration because I am defining a whole pile of StoredProcedure beans that need the dataSource as a constructor argument.

Hi Bob,

I have to do exactly the same that you in my company, I have to access stored procedures returning oracle user data types and I'm going to use Spring as well

I didn' know that I could extend StoredProcedure class to achieve that, please could you give me a clue about how to begin subclassing it?

I suppose yo have written the execute method, haven't you?

Some help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

David

[thisregistrationsucks]

The Spring documentation is a good place to start:

http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/htmlsingle/spring-framework-reference.html#jdbc-StoredProcedure

[davijim]

Thanks Bob,

I´ll do some tests and if I get the same error you are getting and I'm able to solve it I´ll let you know
