Using the DB adapter to update a database table

In this recipe, we will configure an outbound DB adapter, so that it can be used to update data in one or more tables. The adapter will be invoked from a business service, which can be generated using Eclipse OE:

The business service implements a WSDL-based interface. The WSDL and XSD being used for that interface are generated by the DB adapter and are dependent on the database tables and their columns.

In this recipe, we will show how to wrap that business service with a proxy service using its own WSDL and XSD. By that we use a contract-first approach and have full control over the interface we offer to our consumers.

For the configuration of the DB adapter, we will use JDeveloper and then switch to Eclipse to implement the proxy service wrapping the inbound DB adapter.

Getting ready

For this recipe, we will use the database tables created with the OSB Cookbook standard environment. Make sure that the connection factory is set up in the database...
