Web Services N Buzz words

WebService:

  • A service that is available to access across internet or intranet.
  • Provides communication between different applications built on different platforms.

Why Webservices?
  • To avoid reinventing the wheel by exposing existing functionalities built on any platform to be exposed to consumers on internet or developers within same network.
  • Webservices are loosely coupled they can updated without disturbing other modules in application.
  • Ease of integration for applications built across enterprise.


Web Service Jargon:

  • WSDL (Web Service Description Language)
  1. Interface that describes the implementation details of web service.
  2. A contract between producer and consumer for exchanging data.
  3. Written in standard XML format.
  4. WSDL consists information about function names, arguments, return types and End point to be used.
  • SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
  1. Protocol to exchange structured information in XML format.
  • UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration)
  1. Lookup or directory service for web services.
  2. Web services are published here to make them available to consumer.
  • SEI ( Service Endpoint Interface)
  1. An interface class to service endpoint  that defines methods to be exposed as a Web service.
  2. SEI can be generated depending on the technology to be used in your application.

ProtocolException : Invalid HTTP method: PATCH Cause: Above exception happens because of the HttpURLConnection used by default in Spring Boot RestTemplate which is provided by the standard JDK HTTP library.

RADUS#4 - Caching the response in REST API's

  Caching in spring boot app: Caching can be used to provide a performance boost to your application users by avoiding the business logic processing involved again and again, load on your DB, requests to external systems if the users request data that's not changed frequently Different types of caching: We'll be focusing more on in-memory caching in this post i listed other options available to have an idea. In-memory caching You'll have a key-value data stores that stores the response of the request after it is served for the first time There are multiple systems like Redis, Memcached that do this distributed caching very well By default Spring provides concurrent hashmap as default cache, but you can override CacheManager to register external cache providers. Database caching Web server caching Dependencies needed: Maven < dependency > < groupId > org . springframework . boot </ groupId > < artifactId > spring - boot - starter - cache ...

Set BIND VARIABLE and EXECUTE QUERY programmatically in ADF

A very common scenario in ADF is to set a bind variable and execute query programmatically within AMImpl/ VOImpl classes. Here's a simple way to do this: To set bind variable for all rowsets:       ViewObjectImpl someVO = this.getSomeViewObject();       VariableValueManager vMngr = someVO.ensureVariableManager();        vMngr.setVariableValue("DefinedBindVariable",value);        someVO,executeQuery(); To set bind variable for default rowset:          ViewObjectImpl someVO = this.getSomeViewObject();          someVO.setNamedWhereClauseParam("DefinedBindVariable",value);          someVO,executeQuery();
