Three cheers to Christian.
All of Christian's activity on the RPC servers has prompted me to re-
engage my efforts at creating an Oracle-based PL/SQL RPC server. This
has been dormant in the back of my mind for many months now, and I'm
finally ready to step up my qooxdoo efforts, both on the client side and
the server side. When I last mentioned this desire for an Oracle PL/SQL
RPC server back in the summer, I didn't hear from anyone else interested
in an Oracle PL/SQL RPC server implementation, but I mention it again
just in case there's someone new on the team that will also have an
interest in this area.
For those interested in the technical details, Oracle provides its own
code environment based on the Oracle PL/SQL language. PL/SQL is a
seamless combination of procedural and SQL commands and functions that
can be run directly inside of the Oracle database instance or in a
separate application server layer. Web access to this code is provided
through an Oracle-supplied Apache module called modplsql, which creates
a direct bridge between the Apache web server environment and the Oracle
code environment based on each request's URL path. Because the code
resides within the database instance, it is extremely fast and
efficient. Any SQL statements included within the developed PL/SQL code
operate through the native SQL layer of the database and receive all of
the optimization benefits of the Oracle database design and
implementation. Code modularity is easily implemented through separate
code packages, as code packages can interact with each other through the
interface specification for each code package. I've been developing
Oracle PL/SQL web applications for almost ten years now, but I really
need to take advantages of the benefits of the Qooxdoo client in this
work. I need an Oracle backend to achieve this goal.
I've started my planning work on an Oracle backend and should now begin
to make progress on building an RPC implementation. All of the recent
discussions on RPC features will definitely have an impact on my design
and implementation. I need to add extensions to Oracle for parsing and
generating JSON data structures, and I found an open source package
named PLJSON in Sourceforge for adding JSON capability to the Oracle
PL/SQL environment. Once I get PLJSON installed and working in the
Oracle environment, I'll begin the work on the RPC server itself. The
RpcExample and RpcConsole contributions will be extremely useful during
this development effort.
If any other Oracle developers know of anything that might be helpful,
please share your thoughts and ideas.
Thanks,
Gene
