The Oracle NoSQL SDK for Java provides interfaces, documentation, and examples to help develop Java applications that connect to the Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service, Oracle NoSQL Database or to the Oracle NoSQL Cloud Simulator (which runs on a local machine). In order to run the Oracle NoSQL Cloud Simulator, a separate download is necessary from the Oracle NoSQL OTN download page. The Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service and Cloud Simulator are referred to as the "cloud service" while the Oracle NoSQL Database is referred to as "on-premise."
The API for all environments is the same, with the exception of some environment-specific classes and methods, mostly related to authentication and authorization. The API documentation clearly notes environment-specific information.
Java versions 8 and higher are supported.
The Oracle NoSQL SDK for Java can be included in a project in 2 ways:
This dependency can be used to include the SDK and its dependencies in your project. The version changes with each release.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.oracle.nosql.sdk</groupId>
<artifactId>nosqldriver</artifactId>
<version>5.4.15</version>
</dependency>You can download the Oracle NoSQL SDK for Java as an archive from GitHub. The archive contains the runtime library and its dependencies, examples, and API documentation.
See Oracle NoSQL SDK for Java javadoc for the latest API documentation.
General documentation about the Oracle NoSQL Database and the Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service can be found in these locations:
See CHANGELOG for changes in each release.
There are 3 environments, or services that can be used by the Oracle NoSQL SDK for Java:
The next sections describe how to connect to each and what information is required.
There are 3 ways to authorize an application using the Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service:
You will need an Oracle Cloud account and credentials to use this SDK. With this information, you'll set up a client configuration to tell your application how to find the cloud service, and how to properly authenticate. See Authentication to connect to Oracle NoSQL Database for details of credentials you will need to configure an application. This only needs to be done once for any user.
You should have the following information in hand:
You can supply your user credentials in 2 ways:
See the Quickstart example below for details on using a User Principal
Instance Principal is an IAM service feature that enables instances to be authorized actors (or principals) to perform actions on service resources. Each compute instance has its own identity, and it authenticates using the certificates that are added to it. See Calling Services from an instance for prerequisite steps to set up Instance Principal.
See the Quickstart example below for code details for using an Instance Principal.
Resource Principal is an IAM service feature that enables the resources to be authorized actors (or principals) to perform actions on service resources. You may use Resource Principal when calling Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service from other Oracle Cloud service resource such as Functions. See Accessing Other Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Resources from Running Functions for how to set up Resource Principal.
See the Quickstart example below for code details for using a Resource Principal.
The on-premises configuration requires a running instance of Oracle NoSQL Database. In addition a running proxy service is required. See Oracle NoSQL Database Downloads for downloads, and see Information about the proxy for proxy configuration information.
On-premise authorization requires use of StoreAccessTokenProvider See the Quickstart example below for code details for connecting on-premise.
When you develop an application, you may wish to start with Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Simulator.
The Cloud Simulator simulates the cloud service and lets you write and test applications locally without accessing the Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service. You may run the Cloud Simulator on localhost.
See the Quickstart example below for code details for connecting to the Cloud Simulator. Authorization for the Cloud Simulator is a simple no-op class implemented directly in the Quickstart example.
Addional logging can be enabled using a java properties file. For full details, see "Logging in the SDK" at https://oracle.github.io/nosql-java-sdk/oracle/nosql/driver/package-summary.html
The following is a quick start tutorial to run a simple program in all supported environments. It requires access to the Oracle NoSQL Database Cloud Service, a running on-premises Oracle NoSQL Database instance, or a running Oracle NoSQL Cloud Simulator instance. As a standalone program it will run most easily using a download version of the Oracle NoSQL SDK for Java.
$ javac -cp <path-to-nosqldriver.jar> Quickstart.java$ java -cp .:<path-to-nosqldriver.jar> Quickstart -service cloud -endpoint us-ashburn-1Using a non-secure on-premises service on endpoint http://localhost:8090
$ java -cp .:<path-to-nosqldriver.jar> Quickstart -service onprem -endpoint http://localhost:8090Using a Cloud Simulator instance on endpoint http://localhost:8080
$ java -cp .:<path-to-nosqldriver.jar> Quickstart -service cloudsim -endpoint http://localhost:8080There is code in the example for using Instance Principal and Resource Principal authorization for the cloud service but it is not enabled via a command line option. There is an additional, optional argument to the command line that allows specification of a compartment to use, where the compartment is an OCID. This is required if using Instance Principal or Resource Principal authorization.

/**
* A simple quickstart program to demonstrate Oracle NoSQL Database.
* It does these things:
* - create a table
* - put a row
* - get a row
* - run a query using iterable/iterator
* - run a query using partial results
* - drop the table
*
* See the examples for more interesting operations. This quickstart is
* intended to illustrate connecting to a service and performing a few
* operations.
*
* This program can be run against:
* 1. the cloud service
* 2. the on-premises proxy and Oracle NoSQL Database instance, secure or
* not secure.
* 3. the cloud simulator (CloudSim)
*
* To run:
* java -cp .:../lib/nosqldriver.jar Quickstart \
* -service <cloud|onprem|cloudsim> -endpoint <endpoint-or-region> \
* [-compartment <ocid>]
*
* The endpoint and arguments vary with the environment.
*
* This quick start does not directly support a secure on-premise
* environment. See the examples for details on that environment.

}Several example programs are provided in the examples directory to illustrate the API. They can be found in the release download from GitHub or directly in GitHub NoSQL Examples. These examples can be run against the Oracle NoSQL Database, the NoSQL Database Cloud Service or an instance of the Oracle NoSQL Cloud Simulator. The code that differentiates among the configurations is in the file Common.java and can be examined to understand the differences.
Examples can be run directly from a clone of the GitHub Repository. Once the clone has been built (mvn compile) examples can be run in this manner
Run BasicTableExample using a cloud simulator instance on endpoint localhost:8080
$ mvn -pl examples exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=BasicTableExample \
-Dexec.args="http://localhost:8080"Run BasicTableExample using an on-premises instance on endpoint localhost:8090
$ mvn -pl examples exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=BasicTableExample \
-Dexec.args="http://localhost:8090 -useKVProxy"Run BasicTableExample using the cloud service on region us-ashburn-1
$ mvn -pl examples exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=BasicTableExample \
-Dexec.args="us-ashburn-1"Compile Examples:
$ cd examples
$ javac -cp ../lib/nosqldriver.jar *.javaThis requires Oracle Cloud credentials. Credentials can be provided directly in API or in a configuration file. The default configuration in examples/Common.java uses a configuration file in ~/.oci/config with the following contents:
[DEFAULT]
tenancy=<User OCID>
user=<Tenancy OCID>
fingerprint=<Public key fingerprint>
key_file=<PEM private key file>
pass_phrase=<Private key passphrase>Run the example using an Oracle Cloud region endpoint.
$ java -cp .:../lib/nosqldriver.jar BasicTableExample <region>
e.g.
$ java -cp .:../lib/nosqldriver.jar BasicTableExample us-ashburn-1The region argument will change depending on which region you use.
Running against the on-premises Oracle NoSQL Database on-premises requires a running instance of the database and running proxy service. See above.
Run against a not-secure proxy and store, with the proxy running on port 80:
$ java -cp .:../lib/nosqldriver.jar BasicTableExample http://localhost:80 -useKVProxyWhen using a secure proxy and store the proxy will generally run on port 443 and requires SSL configuration. In addition the store requires a valid user and password which must have been created via administrative procedures.
Assumptions for this command:
Run the command:
$ java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=123456 \
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=driver.trust -cp .:../lib/nosqldriver.jar \
BasicTableExample https://localhost:443 -useKVProxy -user driver \
-password Driver.User@01Run against the Oracle NoSQL Cloud Simulator using its default endpoint of localhost:8080, assuming that the Cloud Simulator has been started. If started on a different host or port adjust the endpoint accordingly.
