I am working through all of the technical aspects of integrating NetFoundry into the application layer of an Oracle Apex application. This means inserting the NetFoundry code into ORDS using the C SDK. I need help with the structure and calling this package to marshall the packets from the NetFoundry edge router into the Oracle Listener.

For instance, say I find a package that has 90% of the code, how do I compile it, install it, configure it and call it from an edge router so that the traffic is directed into the ORDS service?

Is there a reason you want to use Ziti C SDK? With ORDS our Java SDK might be a better fit.

Check it out here: [GitHub - openziti/ziti-sdk-jvm: Ziti SDK for JVM](https://github.com/openziti/ziti-sdk-jvm)  
There are examples that show how to use to _host_ a REST application with springboot

Good question. As I understand, a C package can be called natively from within PL/SQL.

I don’t know about Java… though… that is a good link and will investigate further.

I mostly only have a vague idea of what I am doing… but with enough digging around I am sure I can find a way forward.

Thanks for the details… very useful.
