Calling web service in Oracle Applicaitons...

Can I call a web service in Oracle Appications 11.5.10?
I created a simple form on my local machine and invoked the webservice in that form and it works perfectly. I used Oracle forms 9i and 6i for this purpose and both are working perfectly.
But when I created the same form on the UNIX server and imported the Java Class and placed that form in Oracle Applications and tried to invoke the web service it is not working.
I am using Forms 6i for creating the form in Oracle Applications.
Are there any other factors that I am neglecting?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.........

Oracle Applications have very specific rules on what you can do and not do with Forms so you need to ask this in the Applications Forums.

Calling web service in Oracle Applications...

Is there any way we can call web services in Oracle Applications?
I am using 11.5.10 verison of Oracle Applications.
Thanks in advance,
Sandra

Hey Ravi,
Thanks for your response. I am not well versed with Java. I am using Forms 6i to achieve this. I dont know what java code do I have to put in the custom directory.
The procedure I am following to call web sevice is as follows:
1. Using the webservice URL(.wsdl URL) I am creating the Java class (web service stub) in Jdeveloper.
2. Deploying this Java class into a JAR file.
3. Then I am placing this JAR file in a directory which was spcified in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CLASSPATH including the name of the JAR file.
4.Then I go to Forms 6i and say program --> Import Java Classes in my form, it gets the webservice java class and converts that java class into PLSQL packages.proc/func.
Can you please send me an example how you did this to my email?
My email ID is "[email protected]"

Calling web service from oracle forms 10g

Problem Description:
I'm following the steps as per the doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gr2/howto/webservicefromforms/ws_10_1_3_from_forms.html
to create a java stub to call external web service and then use java importer in oracle forms to call this web service from oracle forms.
WSDL for external web service used is http://gend:83/DesignService.svc?wsdl
The service was developed by us.
Calling the web service using JDeveloper works fine but when I complie in Oracle Forms it returns wrong number of types of arguments in call SENDHELLO.
The code from oracle form to call web service is as below:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
xo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(2000);
ex ora_java.jobject;
str varchar2(100);
BEGIN
jo := GendServiceClient.new;
rv := GendServiceClient.sendHello('Nora');
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
message(Exception_.toString(ex));
END;
Any help/ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My primary skill is PL/SQL but the only information I found on Oracle's site to call a web service from a 10g Form was creating a jar file and importing the java class. Since I don't want to ask our corporate IT to make changes on the UNIX box for the jar files I went a different route.
I use UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST to call a URL then load I load the data to a table as a CLOB since we have more than 4000 characters. Now I need to parse the XML and load it into a form. I have never done this so if there is a helpful site please let me know. I have looked at several sites but none do what I want.

Calling web service from oracle forms fails with ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR

Problem Description:
I'm following the steps as per the doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gr2/howto/webservicefromforms/ws_10_1_3_from_forms.html
to create a java stub to call external web service and then use java importer in oracle forms to call this web service from oracle forms.
WSDL for external web service used is http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConverter.asmx?wsdl
Calling the web service using JDeveloper works fine but from Oracle Forms returns ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR; Unable to call out to Java, Invalid object type for argument 1
The code from oracle form to call web service is as below:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
rv ora_java.jobject;
ex ora_java.jobject;
outString varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
jo:= CurrencyConvertorStub.new;
--This will get the exchange rate from US Dollars to UK Sterling.

Any help/ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, it is the message line - so basically this call fails => rv:= CurrencyConvertorStub.ConversionRate(jo,'CAD','USD'); and control goes in the exception block
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
Below is the code from java stub that was generated using JDeveloper by using web services stub/skeleton and associating the WSDL
public Double ConversionRate(String FromCurrency, String ToCurrency) throws Exception
URL endpointURL = new URL(endpoint);
Envelope requestEnv = new Envelope();
Body requestBody = new Body();
Vector requestBodyEntries = new Vector();
String wrappingName = "ConversionRate";
String targetNamespace = "http://www.webserviceX.NET/";

requestData.add(new Object[] {"FromCurrency", FromCurrency});
requestData.add(new Object[] {"ToCurrency", ToCurrency});

Hi,
could you please explain here the detailed steps (with code example if it's possible) to invoke a webservice from Oracle Applications?.. how did yo do it...?
I've read differents posts here and the 33097.1 metalink note (by the way, the first recommended link in this note is broken...), but there are lots of theorical concepts and no real examples to see how/from where invoke the WS
I'll have to call one webservice (I suppose the customer will give me the interface implementation)...but I've never did it with Applications so that's why I ask you for all the detailed steps...
I work with Forms 6i, Apps 11.5.10.2 and DB 9.2.0.7.
Thanks a lot.
Jose.

Well, you should first test if your webservice is reachable with a simple WS - Client or a Browser - Plugin, then verify the respones of the web service and after that you can take further investigations on your problem domain. The error - message refers to a line in your function, obviously, but I can't see which line and because there is more than one call to sys.utl_dbws I don't see at what point the script fails. NULL - Pointer - Execptions usually indicate that a method was invoked on a variable which should contain an object reference but is NULL.

Exception when calling web service from Oracle forms 10g

Hi All,
I am trying to integrate Oracle Forms 10g(V 10.1.2.0.2.) with Web Services.
There is a java class named 'authenticate' which is generated using Oracle JDeveloper.
This class is included in the forms application by using "Import Java Class" feature.
Forms built the following funtion based on that class:
-- Method: authenticate (Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
FUNCTION authenticate(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 VARCHAR2,
a1 VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
BEGIN
args := JNI.CREATE_ARG_LIST(2);
JNI.ADD_STRING_ARG(args, a0);
JNI.ADD_STRING_ARG(args, a1);
message('here1');
RETURN JNI.CALL_STRING_METHOD(FALSE, obj, 'mypackage/AuthenticatorWebServiceServiceStub',
'authenticate', '(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;', args);
message('here2');
END;
However when the above code is invoked it shows the message 'here1' on the form and then throws the following exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.ClassCastException
Please suggest me what's wrong with the code. I appreciate your time and help.
Thanks,
Scott.

Calling web service via utl_dbws with unbounded return values

Hello, everyone.
I'm trying to use utl_dbws to call web service from Oracle DB 10 g.
WS has unbounded return value:
<xs:element maxOccurs='unbounded' minOccurs='0' name='return' type='xs:string'/>
I'm setting return paramter in web service call handler like this:
sys.UTL_DBWS.set_return_type(l_h_service_call, cs_qname_type_string);
and when I'm trying to call it from PL/SQL function I'm getting an error:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
deserialization error: XML reader error: unexpected character content: "s2"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_DBWS", line 388
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_DBWS", line 385
ORA-06512: at line 38
I've tried to return values by out parameters and got the same exception.
It looks like utl_dbws needs to know parameters count before calling.
Have anyone succeded in getting arrays from Web Service call?
This is a part of wsdl:
<xs:complexType name='getProcessList'>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs='0' name='nameMask' type='xs:string'/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name='getProcessListResponse'>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs='unbounded' minOccurs='0' name='return' type='xs:string'/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
Throught SoapUI I can produce such kind of request:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:proc="http://processmanager.argustelecom.ru/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<proc:getProcessList>
<processNameMask>*</processNameMask>
</proc:getProcessList>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
and get a response:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<env:Header/>
<env:Body>
<ns2:getProcessListResponse xmlns:ns2="http://processmanager.argustelecom.ru/">

Hi Tony
I'm not sure if you would have solved your problem by now, but with my recent experience with the utl_dbws package, for doc lits with complex data types, you have to call the service with an XML request, as opposed to passing the param array.
If you still need details, reply accordingly.

Without far greater details as to what you are doing, what you have installed, and what you have tried, not much can be offered. All that I can gather from the information you provided is that the server name you are trying to contact either is not responding or is invalid. If you have Forms installed on your local machine (for example using Developer Suite), try using localhost rather than the hostname. For example, http://localhost:port/forms/frmservlet?form=yourform

Calling web services

Hi,
How can I call web services from Oracle BI?
My web service has a method (GetEventList) which take some parameters and returns a list.
Can I call this web service method from a dashboard and then show it in there?
Thanks&Regards

Hi,
it`s a pity, that OBIEE does not offer a solution to directly send requests to external webservices and show their results within an answer. Before i tried OBI 11g, i hoped that there would be some improvements regarding that functionality in contrast to OBI 10g.
Workarounds:
1.) In Oracle BI Publisher you can directly call a webservice and get back its results within a report. You could then put that report onto a dashboard. (I do not know whether this is already possible in Oracle BI Publisher 10g
2.) OBI 11g Action Framework. You could put a link onto your dashboard, which calls a webservice. After the webservice sent a response, an information dialog is shown, which can be used to present some general info regarding the webservices' return values.
3.) Create an ASP.NET/JSP-File which calls your Webservice and presents its results in HTML. You could then embed this ASP/JSP-File via an IFrame into your dashboard.
4.) PL/SQL-Wrapper as mentioned before
Conclusion: Oracle should improve this functionality by allowing people to directly call Webservices from Answers.

Call a web services from oracle forms 10

I have to call a web services from oracle forms.
The version of the database is oracle 11gr2. the version of the forms is 10.1.2.0.2.
I allready did the proxy creation and the import class within forms.
I have 2 questions:
1.
I created the following procedure:
PROCEDURE call_WS IS
vobject1 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
vobject2 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
BEGIN
vobject1 := WSEvaluarReglaCondicionComerci.new();
vobject2 := WSEvaluarReglaCondicionComerci.listarValoresAtributoEvento(vobject1, 702, 2217, null, null, null);
END;
the function I calling:
FUNCTION listarValoresAtributoEvento(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a1 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a2 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a3 VARCHAR2,
a4 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT) RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
Note that the parameters is ORA_JAVA_JOBJECT and I need to send numbers. I understand that when I import the classes, because in the WS those parameters are defined as BigDecimal, Forms understand them as java object but when I compile it reports the error: "numero o tipo de argumento erroneo al llamar..." type error.
So the question is, how Cast the numbers to Java Object to send them.
I have read in a web page that one option is to change in the web service the type of the parameters but that is not an option.

The WS returns a super big XML as answer, so how I can parse the result into an Object type?...
The object structure is:
TYPE opciones_obj AS OBJECT
(strindice VARCHAR2 (4000),
nombrecompleto VARCHAR2 (4000),
nombre VARCHAR2 (4000),
strtipodato VARCHAR2 (4000),
codigoopcion NUMBER,
floatval FLOAT,
strtipo VARCHAR2 (4000),
strval VARCHAR2 (4000));
and the tags to extract is:
COLUMNS strindice VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strIndice"]/ns2:value',
nombrecompleto VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="nombreCompleto"]/ns2:value',
nombre VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="nombre"]/ns2:value',
strtipodato VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strTipoDato"]/ns2:value',
codigoopcion NUMBER
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="codigoOpcion"]/ns2:value',
floatval FLOAT
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="floatVal"]/ns2:value',
strtipo VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strTipo"]/ns2:value',
strval VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strVal"]/ns2:value') x;
xquery / xmltype aparently is not an option because the xml is too big.
I will appreciate your answers.
Thanks.
