DBWS Road Map

Future

1. Support 'sparse' merge (bug280667) (requires core Foundation work)
   • Sparse merge requirements/Phase I Refactoring for DynamicEntity
2. Support complex PL/SQL arguments for Stored Functions (requires core Foundation work)
3. Support additional JAX-WS implementations (GlassfishV3/Metro, JBoss, Websphere 7, etc.)
4. align DBWS internal metadata with JPA/JAXB metadata (requires JPA/JAXB work)
   • Use 'orm.xml' and 'oxm.xml' for metadata
5. Support optional arguments for Stored Procedures (requires core Foundation work)
6. Validate SOAP message arguments (must be very efficient!)

2.1

• Validate SOAP message elements passed to DBWS Web service

2.0.1

• align DBWS internal implementation with new Dynamic Persistence features
• DBWSBuilder utility auto-detect Optimistic Lock field
• fix issue with JDBC metadata and overloaded Stored Functions
• Support MTOM attachments
• fix Web service faults: contain better server-side root cause information

1.2

• For OraclePlatform, support advanced PL/SQL datatypes (records, collections, mixture of the two) as arguments to Stored Procedures
  • need compatible JDBC 'shadow' types to align with PL/SQL types
• For OraclePlatform, support complex JDBC datatypes (objects, varrays, mixture of the two) as arguments to Stored Procedures
• Fix WSDL inline-schema to support above complex args
• Add support for SOAP 1.2
• Fix Delete operation (part of table-based CRUD): use only PK fields, not whole instance
• Use nillable="true" to represent database null
• DBWSBuilder utility to produce DDL for the compatible JDBC shadow types

1.1

• Deploy to JAX-WS 2.n complaint server (WebLogic 10)
• For OraclePlatform, support simple PL/SQL datatypes (PLSINTEGER, BOOLEAN, etc) as arguments to Stored Procedures
• Improve server-side exception handling

1.0

The focus is on providing capabilities based upon the 3 types of database artifacts:

1. table: CRUD lifecycle
2. Stored Procedure: specialized queries
3. Result set: returned from SQL SELECT queries
