Roll up! Roll up! Nothing new to see here! (Database Web Services)

 

Over the years I’ve written loads of stuff about consuming and publishing web services directly from the database. I’ve been doing quite a bit of this at work recently and I realised how difficult it is to find all the pieces, since they are spread across multiple articles, spanning multiple database versions. In an attempt to give a single point of entry I’ve written this very brief article.

It’s really more of a links page. 🙂

If you are new to the idea of using the database for web services, it might come as a surprise what you can do without having to turn to the dark side (middleware). 🙂

  1. Hi, Tim

    Great summary/collection – always a good idea with a “master” article for a “theme” 🙂

    For consuming both SOAP and REST web services, have you tried APEX_WEB_SERVICE api as alternative to the other methods?

    I’ve used UTL_HTTP, HttpUriType, UTL_DBWS and JPublisher for consuming, but it looks to me like those aren’t updated much now a days – future enhancements I think (just guessing) probably are more likely to happen in APEX_WEB_SERVICE package. (Which if you like can be used just for webservice consumption even if you don’t have or plan to make a single APEX application 😉

    (Shameless plug: My Kscope14 presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/KimBergHansen/oracle-36496025 – it is just on consuming, though, I have not yet had cause to try publishing web services 😉

    Thanks for your great articles – I’ve used a couple in the presentation as well…

    Regards
    Kim

  2. Kim: Funnily enough, I have an article on APEX_WEB_SERVICE in the works. When it’s complete it will be added to this article. 🙂

    Cheers
