Effective Use of the Oracle Database with Spring

In this talk we will look at some advanced features of the Oracle Database that most developers overlook. This includes the native XML data type, Advanced Queuing for messaging and transparent auditing of database changes.

During the presentation the features will be shown in live code and we will walk through three complete examples utilizing the discussed features.

One example will show how to use triggers and Advanced Queuing to monitor changes made to the database. Another example shows how we can persist domain objects as XML data using JAXB and Oracle's XMLType. A third example shows how we can create an audit trail in the database by propagating the web application principal information to the database and logging any changes made to database tables.

We will also discuss how the Advanced Pack for the Oracle Database can make these tasks a lot simpler, both in terms of development effort and for configuration.
