Calling SharePoint Web Services from PL/SQL

We are trying to call SharePoint Web Services with UTL_DBWS or UTL_HTTP. We are able to call some test web services, but when it comes to using SharePoint services, we keep getting 401 errors..even when we use set_authorization.
Has anyone been able to use UTL_DBWS or UTL_HTTP to call SharePoint web services? If so, can you point us in the right direction?
Thanks

AB,
I didn't realize you cannot attach documents to your post. You will have to provide me with an email address that I can send the documents to. They are a little rough (ie not commented etc) but they do illustrate the point. The basic idea is to build up the payload of the soap envelope using pl/sql. Meaning as I loop through the cursor I use each record in the cursor to build an xml string. This string of xml becomes the payload of the soap message. This could also be done using xml functionality provided by the db meaning xmlelement, xmlforest etc. The issue I ran into was the size of the message. That is why I elected to build the xml message by string concatenation as I moved through the cursor.

Calling a Web Service from PL/SQL Procedure

How can you call a web service from a pl/sql package , also is it valid to call a web service from pl/sql according to Fusion Standards..

Hi,
On way we can call a web service is to pass the Web Service URL to UTL_HTTP package:
Sample Web Service URL
===================
lv_url :=
'http://67.97.189.151:8888/plsqlsample/dbfunc?invoke=placeOrder'
|| '&'
|| 'param0=1'

Error while calling .svc web service from pl/sql using utl_dbws

Hello Folks,
I am calling a .svc web service from pl/sql using utl_dbws and encountering the following error
javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: The message with Action '' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. This may be because of either a contract mismatch (mismatched Actions between sender and receiver) or a binding/security mismatch between the sender and the receiver. Check that sender and receiver have the same contract and the same binding (including security requirements, e.g. Message, Transport, None).
Can you help me find what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Are you expecting us to guess at the message you received when you got the 28868?
I guess: "the wallet is closed."
If I guessed correctly then open it.
ALTER SYSTEM SET ENCRYPTION WALLET OPEN IDENTIFIED BY "<your_wallet_password_here>";If I didn't guess correctly then you need to provide all of the information you neglected in your original post.
Start with the version number.

Errors calling oracle web service from pl/sql

Oracle application server version 10.1.2.2.0
Jdeveloper version 10.1.2.1.0
I have published a function of an oracle database package as a web service using jdeveloper by creating a connection to my database and right clicking on the package and selecting publish as a web service. I accepted all the defaults and deployed the web service to my application server also using jdeveloper. I have been able to invoke the web service from the url which was generated.
I now want to invoke this web service from another pl/sql procedure in the same database as the function I've published as a web service using the utl_dbws facility but get the following error

Hi,
On way we can call a web service is to pass the Web Service URL to UTL_HTTP package:
Sample Web Service URL
===================
lv_url :=

SELECT UTL_HTTP.request (lv_url)

Calling web services from PL/SQL

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to call a web services from PL/SQL.
I believe we have a PL/SQL API that allows you to consume external web services.
I was looking for other possible options too to consume web Service from PL/SQL.
Can any one suggest the other possible options , and which option is best to consume web service.
Thanks
AB

AB,
I didn't realize you cannot attach documents to your post. You will have to provide me with an email address that I can send the documents to. They are a little rough (ie not commented etc) but they do illustrate the point. The basic idea is to build up the payload of the soap envelope using pl/sql. Meaning as I loop through the cursor I use each record in the cursor to build an xml string. This string of xml becomes the payload of the soap message. This could also be done using xml functionality provided by the db meaning xmlelement, xmlforest etc. The issue I ran into was the size of the message. That is why I elected to build the xml message by string concatenation as I moved through the cursor.

New to Web Services - need to call a HTTPS web service from PL/SQL

I am new to Web Services and need to call HTTPS web service from PL/SQL program. I am using 10g Database.
I have been reading there are 2 options -
1. UTL_HTTP - with this package its possible to call HTTPS web services
2. UTL_DBWS
Questions -
1. Is it possible to call a HTTPS web service using UTL_DBWS ? I have not been able to find any information on it.
2. Can someone point me to UTL_HTTP and UTL_DBWS examples calling a HTTPS web service ?
3. The HTTPS web service that I need to call needs username/password to connect - how will I incorporate this in the pl/sql code ?
Appreciate the help.
Cheers,
newWebServicesUser

Hi,
1. UTL_DBWS not work for https from what I understand
2. Here is a sample example:
[http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/ConsumingWebServices9i.php#]
Be careful, you must change http/1.0 IN 1.1 inside package SOAP_API.
Here is an example for a prime number where the SOAP message is already construct:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure test_ws_2
IS
http_req utl_http.req;
http_resp utl_http.resp;
request_env varchar2(32767);
response_env varchar2(32767);
begin
-- Set proxy details if no direct net connection.
UTL_HTTP.set_proxy('http://<USER>:<PASS>@10.0.2.21:8070', NULL);
UTL_HTTP.set_persistent_conn_support(TRUE);
request_env:='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">'||
'<SOAP-ENV:Body><GetPrimeNumbers xmlns="http://microsoft.com/webservices/" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">'||
'<max xsi:type="xsd:int">10</max>'||
'</GetPrimeNumbers></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>';
dbms_output.put_line('Length of Request:' || length(request_env));
dbms_output.put_line ('Request: ' || request_env);
http_req := utl_http.begin_request('http://www50.brinkster.com/vbfacileinpt/np.asmx','POST', utl_http.HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'Content-Type', 'text/xml; charset=utf-8');
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'Content-Length', length(request_env));
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'SOAPAction', '"http://microsoft.com/webservices/GetPrimeNumbers"');
utl_http.write_text(http_req, request_env);
dbms_output.put_line('');
http_resp := utl_http.get_response(http_req);
dbms_output.put_line('Response Received');
dbms_output.put_line('--------------------------');
dbms_output.put_line ( 'Status code: ' || http_resp.status_code );
dbms_output.put_line ( 'Reason phrase: ' || http_resp.reason_phrase );
utl_http.read_text(http_resp, response_env);
dbms_output.put_line('Response: ');
dbms_output.put_line(response_env);
utl_http.end_response(http_resp);
end test_ws_2;
Otherwice for testing url, i recommand you to use that function: Re: Error using UTL_HTTP over HTTPS
it's a verry helpful function when you have an error.
wrote:
When testing using UTL_HTTP, you MUST ensure that you open a new session after importing the SSL certificates into your Wallet,
as I've learned (the hard way) that existing sessions point to the wallet contents that were present when the session was opened.
If you don't realise/know this, it can cause a lot of additional frustration during testing, when you keep getting the ORA-29024 exception AFTER
you've imported the SSL certificates................. ;) 3. i think you can use that after the begin_request but not sure :
UTL_HTTP.set_authentication(r => http_req,
username => ,
password => ,
scheme => ,
for_proxy => );

Create an SAP Web Service Consumer (calling External Sharepoint Web Service from ABAP)

hi all,
i am trying to
Create an SAP Web Service Consumer (calling sharepoint Web Service from ABAP) using blog given on following link
Create an SAP Web Service Consumer (calling External Web Service from ABAP)
but when i am using my url at the end of step 3, i am getting error as follows:
i dont want to use local file option. Can anyone help me in this??
thanks in advance
regards,
SDS

Hi SDS,
you recieved a http 404 error when trying to access the Sharepoint Web service. Http 404 indicates that the resource is not reachable (cf. HTTP 404 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). There could be different reasons for that. I'd suggest rubble checking the URL of the Web service first. Try to access it from a browser on you desktop. If the URL is correc. Most likely the SAP system is not able to connect to the URL. This could, for example, be due to some firewall restrictions. You should ask a SAP Basis colleague if they are able to access the URL of the Web service from the server on which the SAP system is running.

Any help would be greatly received

I had the same problem this morning. You need to add a line to the HTTP header to declare a value for SOAPAction.
You can set this as an empty string, but for some reason it is required.
Try adding this among your header declarations:
utl_http.set_header(req, 'SOAPAction', '');
