How to Automate Oracle forms using Jcob library - oracleforms

Hi i am trying to automate oracle forms using jcob library.can any one tell me How to Automate Oracle forms using Jcob library

You probably ment Jacob library for using COM components from Java. You can use it, but you have to sign its jar with trusted certificate.
Or simply use oracle Webutil library. See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/howto-ole-090332.html

How to use Oracle database as web service provider with JSON?

I'm considering an option to use Oracle Database as web services provider and implement web service logic via PL/SQL stored procedures. I used to code stored procedures some time ago, though I'm not sure what direction should I go in order to use most up to date solutions:
I would like to use amazon cloud for oracle solution. After creating oracle instance, what else should be done in order to use it for serving as web server. I didn't find Amazon Cloud for Oracle Application Server or Glassfish. Also, I need to use JSON but it's unclear does Oracle have such support out of the box. Currently, I found the only option to use Soap 1.1 with Oracle XML DB
Should there be two DB instances for security issues: one node serving as data source and the other one serving as web service provider.
Would appreciate for any ideas and info :)
You might want to review the Oracle Rest Data Services Developer Guide
Amazon provides Oracle access in their product "RDS", but I've never tried it. However, I doubt that you'd be able to use the Oracle web listener directly.
JSON support is not included in Oracle AFAIK, but it should be easy to implement on your own.

Oracle Forms and Reports

I would like to know the future(as in my personal growth) of Oracle Forms and reports developer. And will learning this be helpful in learning any other technology.Thanks in Advance!
P.S:-I am a Fresher and I would like to know the advantage of learning Oracle Forms!!!Guidance Required
The latest versions of Oracle Forms are very good for fast input through a web application. Other web applications build in for example Oracle ADF, Apex, Asp, Php you can't give fast input. If you want to build applications for client server or just for a desktop you can use other programming languages like .net
The problem with Oracle Forms at the moment is that Oracle has mentioned that it won't be supported in the future. In the meanwhile they have come back to this and they still support it for the moment and in the near future. But they won't put much effort in supporting new features in the future.
So if you want a fancy application with lots of new gadgets and so on you are wrong by choosing Oracle Forms.

MVC 4 connect to MySQL

I've created an Internet application (MVC 4) in VS2012 and I'm trying to connect it to MySQL in a way so that I can have the OAuth functional.
I didn't manage to find anything helpful and I wonder if it's possible without some heavy workaround.
Check this article
Implementaion of SingleMemmbershipProvider in MVC 4 for MySql and supports OAuth additionally.
http://www.mattjcowan.com/funcoding/2012/11/10/simplemembershipprovider-in-mvc4-for-mysql-oracle-and-more-with-llblgen/
OAuth with MVC 4 template uses SimpleMembershipProvider Class which in turn uses MSSQL database. If you need to make it work for MySQL, then you need to override the methods in this class. You can do that as given at this link by Imran but according to me it is very heavy workaround to build your own overridden methods. Instead, drop the inbuilt OAUth and use custom one like sharpOAuth

How can I connect to the Shopify API via web service using SSIS 2K8?

We are working with Shopify to get a web solution implemented. I am looking into how to get data from Shopify using your web service API. We are going to be using SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) 2K8R2 to do this. Do you happen to have an example that shows how to connect SSIS to the Shopify API for us to use?
Thank you
I'm not aware of anyone using SSIS to connect to Shopify, so I don't know what that entails. However, Shopify's API is a standard RESTful interface, so I recommend researching how to talk to such services from SSIS.
As far as I know there are no specific examples of this. It is a pretty standard rest API so should be straight forward enough. If you can use c# then there is a library you can use. Other wise all you really need to be ably to do is make http requests.
Making webservice calls through an SSIS was never easy. I am not sure if this changed in 2K8R2. Your best bet is probably to create a web/windows/console application and connect to it. I have used the following .NET shopify wrapper with success:

Accessing mysql from Adobe flex/AIR

Is it possible to directly access MySql databases through an Adobe AIR/Flex
application?
If not, what is the next best alternative?
I'd have to disagree (though respectfully!) with Abdullah that building an ODBC client into AIR would "cause wierd problems and open up security issues" -- that's often how it's done (e.g., Java and .NET, both of whose runtimes package various ODBC clients) -- but both posters are right: the only way's coding some sort of a service interface into your AIR application (using Flex classes like WebService, HTTPService, and so on) and a complementary server-side interface (e.g., REST via PHP, which would then connect up with your MySQL database). For simple apps, it can be a bit of a pain, but for the moment, that's all we gots. :)
Best of luck!
I haven't tried yes but there are some projects to implement a native driver in AS3 to connect to mysql server. In the end it's just a socket connection and AIR applications are allowed to open socket.
Have a look at http://code.google.com/p/assql/
No, although AIR does have a local (client-side) SQLite database builtin. You don't really want your client apps to have direct access to the server-side database anyways, it can really cause weird problems and open security issues up. You can expose a MySQL database with web services however. This article has a really easy way of doing it.
I would not recommend accessing the database directly. I describe how I'd do it here.
IMHO, the best way to access any Database from a Flex APP (Air or Flash) is to create a webservice. After a few tryouts with PHP, i got into WSDL SOAP webservice build in C# and it´s a beauty! From C#, i got the PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL-SERVER or Oracle anytime. And using Flex Builder, you can import the WSDL so the objects and webmethod created on the WSDL side will be created for you, with events, listenerers and objects. Try. With C# or Java or any other language, the WSDL SOAP is a great alternative.
Actually, in AIR 2.0, Adobe added NativeProcess functionality. This allows the user to exchange data between applications via the command line's stdin/stdout. The drawback is that you must compile your application as an EXE, DMG, or RPM file as this functionality is not cross platform. MySQL works wonderfully via the command line so this could be a very good option for you. Here's some links on using the functionality.
