Update and Run the olscreate.sql Script

1.

Locate the following files:

- src/sql/olslocut.dmp
- src/sql/olscreate.sql

Edit olscreate.sql. Enter the following commands:

cd $CLIENT_HOME/src/sql
gedit olscreate.sql

 

2.

In the olscreate.sql file, change several occurrences of "connect user/password" to specify a desired username and password. For this tutorial, change the system and mdsys password to oracle.

Note: For Presentation Service and Route Service the insert(...) and assign_acl(...) statements need to be updated to point to the correct Route Server, and MapViewer URLs. If you have access to an Oracle Location Service, you can set up and access these URLs and then run the OpenLS SQL demos for the Presentation service and Route Service demos. Oracle Location Service will provide capability to process Routing and Mapping requests.

For more details about Oracle Route Server, refer to the chapter on Routing Engine in the Oracle Spatial Developer's Guide. For more details about Oracle MapViewer, click the following link:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/mapviewer/index.html

If you don't have access to Oracle Location Service, you cannot run the OpenLS SQL demos for Presentation Service and Route Service. So you need not make any changes to the insert into and assign_acl statements mentioned below.

But you can still run the OpenLS SQL demos for Directory service, and Geocoding service.

Change the following:

Server URL definitions in statements that INSERT INTO the mdsys.OpenLSServices table:

For Location Utility Service and Directory Service, you can keep the URL as http:localhost.

For Presentation Service and Route Service, the URL should point to the correct Route Server and MapViewer URLs. Therefore, change it only if you have access to Oracle Location Service.

In dbms_network_acl_admin.drop_acl('xxx.xml'), you can leave it as is for this tutorial.

Change the URL in access control list (ACL) definitions (the assign_acl statement)) to the URLs you chose in the INSERT INTO statements for the Presentation Service and Route Service. Change this only if you have access to Oracle Location Service.

 

3.

In SQL*Plus, run the olscreate.sql script.

sqlplus / as sysdba
@olscreate.sql

The screenshot shows only a part of the output.

Quit SQL*Plus.

Update the test.java File

1.

In the $CLIENT_DIR/src/oracle/spatial/ws/svrproxy/Test.java file, do the following:

Change the URL (localhost, port) in:

myPort.setEndpoint("http://localhost:8888/SpatialWS-SpatialWS-context-root/SpatialWSSoapHttpPort");

Note: For the tutorial, you may keep it as "localhost:8888".

Edit occurrences of the following to specify an appropriate username and password:

myPort.setUsername(user);
myPort.setPassword("welcome");

Because you have already created users SpatialWsUser0 ... SpatialWsUser3, you might not need to make any changes. Also, note that some of the tests perform loops, for performance measurements.

Run the OpenLS SQL Demos

For OpenLS, there is a SQL interface as well as a SOAP interface (which has already been demonstrated in the previous steps).

The input files are olsloc_01.sql, olsdir_02.sql, olsdir_03.sql, and so on until olsdir_11.sql, olsmap_02.sql, olsmap_03.sql, and olsroute_01.sql. The input files are included in the wsclient.jar file and can be accessed from the $CLIENT_HOME/src/data folder. The outputs can be generated as the corresponding log files (olsloc_01.log, olsdir_02.log, olsdir_03.log, and so on until olsdir_11.log, olsmap_02.log, olsmap_03.log, and olsroute_01.log) by executing SQL*Plus from $CLIENT_HOME/src/data.

The input/output file contents as per the OpenLS request types are described below:

To generate olsloc_01.log and olsmap_02.log files, perform the following:

1.

Enter the following commands:

cd $CLIENT_HOME/src/data
sqlplus mdsys/oracle

spool olsloc_01.log
@olsloc_01.sql
spool off

As mentioned in the table above, olsloc_01.sql is an example that requests from Geocode two addresses in San Francisco. You can view the spooled output log file, olsloc_01.log, from the $CLIENT_HOME/src/data directory. The screenshot shows only a part of the output.

2.

Similarly, you can run olsmap_02.sql, which is an example of the PortrayMapRequest request type. You can run this only if you have access to Oracle Location Service and you provided its URL in the olscreate.sql script.

The screenshot shows the content of the olsmap_02.log file.

Similarly, you can run all the other input SQL files such as olsroute_01.sql (only if you have access to Oracle Location Service), or olsdir_03.sql files and generate the corresponding output files.

 

3.

Stop the OC4J server. Enter the following commands:

cd <Jdev directory>\bin
./oc4j -shutdown -port 23791 -password admin
