Get Oracle Instant Client working on Mac. Then get it working with Ruby!

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/oracle/instantclient_10_2"
export SQLPATH="/usr/local/oracle/instantclient_10_2"
export TNS_ADMIN="/usr/local/oracle/network/admin"
export NLS_LANG="AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8"

SERVICE_NAME is the same thing as SID?

ORA11 =
 (DESCRIPTION = 
   (ADDRESS_LIST =
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
   )
 (CONNECT_DATA =
   (SERVICE_NAME = ORA11)
 )
)

Another example

connection_label =
 (DESCRIPTION = 
   (ADDRESS_LIST =
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = server.name.org)(PORT = 1521))
   )
 (CONNECT_DATA =
   (SERVICE_NAME = service.name)
 )
)

You need a username/password to get access to these, but it's no big deal.

It might also be handy to have Oracle JDBC drivers around as well.

Bash - Manipulating Strings - Substring Extraction

http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/string-manipulation.html

Extracts $length characters of substring from $string at $position.

${string:position:length}

echo ${stringZ:0}                            # abcABC123ABCabc
echo ${stringZ:1}                            # bcABC123ABCabc
echo ${stringZ:7}                            # 23ABCabc

echo ${stringZ:7:3}                          # 23A
                                             # Three characters of substring.

Apache CXF -- FAQ

http://cxf.apache.org/faq.html#FAQ-HowcanIturnonschemavalidationforjaxwsendpoint%3F

It appears there is a configuration setting that can be used to have Apache CXF handle validation. It also appears that this will not be a turn-key solution for me. Something is not quite right as it seems CXF doesn't have access to the XSD files, even though they are included in the class path.
