Download The Free Trial Version Of OrindaBuild 6.0
OrindaBuild enables you to create Web Services for your existing Oracle database with minimal effort. OrindaBuild is integrated with Eclipse and works for both PL/SQL and SQL. Unlike other products OrindaBuild is designed specifically for Oracle and works with real world PL/SQL that involves records and arrays.
There is a Macromedia Flash presentation that shows how OrindaBuild Works.
Why Use OrindaBuild to create PL/SQL web services?
Creating database web services is non-trivial.
The glue code that sits between your database and your web service engine will represent the bulk of your web service conversation effort. Not only that, it will need to be maintained as long as the underlying database exists. Creating this code may require more work than it took to create the database it uses.
OrindaBuild generates this code for you with minimal effort
Simply sticking a Java Data Access Object layer on top of Oracle does not give you web services.
Most existing systems will have business logic that is expressed with SQL statements. In such cases having access to the database schema is not enough - outside knowledge on how the data should be interpreted is required to turn the raw data stored in potentially hundreds of tables into valid business information.
OrindaBuild writes Java to run your key SQL statements as web services
Most existing systems will use PL/SQL, which is not always Java-friendly. PL/SQL offers huge advantages to developers, provided they can access it easily.
But PL/SQL makes extensive use of records and arrays as parameters and these can be hard to access using Java. Many PL/SQL procedures were never designed with JDBC in mind, and as a result the code to call the procedure can be both complicated and verbose
OrindaBuild is better at creating Java services for your PL/SQL than any other alternative
OrindaBuild™ can be run by itself or as a Plugin for PL/SQL Developer 7.0
