Consuming Java Web Service with complex return types

Hi,
I'm consuming a Java Web Service and the return I get in
ColdFusion is a typed Java Object (with custom Java classes like
com.company.project.JavaClass ...)
Within this object I don't get direct accessible properties
as when I'm consuming ColdFusion Web Services, instead I get a
getPROPERTYNAME and setPROPERTYNAME method for each property.
How can I handle this? I don't want to call this methods for
each property (and there are nested objects with arrays of custom
classes below, which would really make this complicated).
What's the best way to cope up with this?
Thanks a lot,
Fritz

The web service is actually the function, not the cfc and you
didn't show a function.
My own opinion is that since webservices by definition should
be available to any calling app (cold fusion, .net, flash, etc),
whatever gets returned from the method should be as universally
recognizable as possible. This generally means text, numbers,
boolean, or xml.

EJB3 Creating Web Services with Complex Return Types

Hi
Not sure if this is the right place, but hoping someone can help!
I have an entity bean that has a collection (list<Address>) of sub-entities. I have then created a session bean to retrieve the Business and populate it's children.
I then expose this as a web service and although it works and I get appropriate XML out, the WSDL of the deployed service is not as I would like.
For example:
The return type is
<complextype name="Business">
<sequence>
<element name="id" type="int"/>
<element name="addresses" type="ns1:list"/>
</sequence>
</complextype>
<complextype name="Address">
<sequence>
<element name="id" type="int"/>
<element name="addresses1" type="string"/>
<element name="addresses2" type="string"/>
<element name="addresses3" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complextype>
ns1:list is included as a separate schema as a complex extension of the base "collection"
So, even though the Address type is there it is not referenced from Business.
So, when I'm calling the Web Service from BPEL or ESB, I have not got the ability to map adequately back from the response.
I have tried a whole bunch of ways of getting this to work, but so far to no avail...
Has anyone seen this before, or can I somehow override the mapping from the Entity to the WSDL?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Thanks. We are using a Java Proxy to consume the web service as we need to use JAX-WS handlers. We created data control from the service stub that was created by the proxy. Our issue is with the response XML which comes as a complex type. Also, the data control is understanding the complex type and is creating the structure right. The problem is when we drag that control on a JSF page. No data is displayed. We think that we are not traversing the complex object properly which is creating the issue.
I understand that you answer related to the input is applicable to output as well. We can change the structure by flattening it but we thought that in 11G there is some new features where we can use the complex types out of the box without any change. Is that true? Also, any luck in finding the documents (broken links) on your blog page?

Publish ColdFusion Web Service with Complex Return Type

Hi,
I am working on a project to publish couple ColdFusion
webservices. The cosumer of those webservices is a Java
application.
One of my webservice need return an object. Here are demo
codes:
The returned ojbect is AddressRespond
AddressRespond.cfc:
<cfcomponent>
<cfproperty name="addresses" type="Address[]" />
<cfproperty name="myLearnException" type="MyException"
/>
</cfcomponent>
Address.cfc:
<cfcomponent>
<cfproperty name="city" type="string" />
<cfproperty name="state" type="string" />
</cfcomponent>
MyException.cfc:
<cfcomponent>
<cfproperty name="code" type="string" />
<cfproperty name="reason" type="string" />
</cfcomponent>
If the webservice "cosumer" is a ColdFusion application,
there is no any problems. But the Java application doesn't
understand the type of addresses in the WSDL file which is
gernerated by ColdFusion:
<complexType name="Address">
<sequence>
<element name="city" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="state" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
<complexType name="MyException">
<sequence>
<element name="code" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
<element name="reason" nillable="true"
type="xsd:string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
<complexType name="AddressRespond">
<sequence>
<element name="addresses" nillable="true"
type="tns1:ArrayOf_xsd_anyType"/>
<element name="MyException" nillable="true"
type="impl:MyException"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
Could anybody give me any idea on how to resolve this
problem?
Thanks!

Apex, Web Services, and complex data types?

Hi all,
I was wondering if somebody could explain to me what sort of support apex has for using web services with complex data types, and how data returned like this could be interpreted and stored in the database.
Any help would be aprreciated.
Thankyou in advance

Hi can anyone help me with this?

Java web service with php SOAP client

Hi!
I have a Java web service with a procedure, which connects to a database:
public boolean connectDB(String driver,String host, String user, String password)
try {
Class.forName(driver);
connection =
DriverManager.getConnection
host
, user
, password
return true;
} catch (Exception v_exception) {
System.out.println("connectDB(): " + v_exception);
return false;
If I call it from a PHP client, it doesn't work but doesn't throw any exceptions on the server side.
The way I call it:
$client = new SoapClient
(<path>);
try
$conn=$client->connectDB();
catch (SoapFault $exception)
echo "\nexception: " .$exception;
On the client side, I have an exception, but it's not very detailed:
exception: Object id #2
I had a simple function, too, which returns a string:
public String getTestString()
return "test";
and if I call it from PHP, it's working...
What may be the problem?

Neither the simple "setter" methods work.. :(
The php client side:
$string="aladar";
$client->setSample($string);
$return = $client->getSample();
The server side:
public String sample;
public String getSample() {
return sample;
public void setSample(String a_sample) {
sample = a_sample;
Any ideas?

Web service with complex java type

Hi,
I create a web service method with String o with Array of Strings without problem. Now I nedd to create a ws that return a table, so I create a class like this:
public class User {
     private String Name;
     private String.Surname;
     public void setName(String setName){
          Name= setName;
     public void setSurname(String setSurname){
          Surname=setSurname;
In my ws class I use this object:
public User[] getUser(String a){
          User[] user = new User[10];
          for (int i=0;i<10;i++){
               User<i>.setName("aaa");
               User<i>.setSurname("bbb");
          return user;
When in WebService Perspective I try to create my ws in wizard mode I see method getUser but I can't check it
Where is error?
Thanks

HI Andrea,
    I think with present netweaver developer studio , we can create Web services with end points as simple data types in java and the array of that simple data types.
    not sure whether it support our own custom developed classes as end points.
     just go through these links.

How to create web services with complex objects as parameters

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place, but...
I'm using Netbeans 5.5 and trying to learn web services.
Creating a simple web service with simple parameters like strings and integers is nice and easy. I'm now trying to take the next step, and create a web service with a more complex schema as a parameter.
I've tried two approaches, and hit dead ends on both:
(1) Define my complex schema as an xsd file, and then create a WSDL file. Creating the schema and saving it in my EFB project works fine; when I try to create a new WSDL file, the IDE gives me a button to import external schemas - which is where the problem is: the Browse simply won't find my newly created schema file.
(2) Define a Java class (in this case, it's a fairly simple example containing a single ArrayList), and then use the IDE to generate a web service from Java. The IDE does this fine, but I now have no idea how to consume or test the web service - I don't know where to look for the WSDL that has presumably been generated, and I'm also a bit iffy over what answers to give the WSDL creator about port names etc.
Ideally, I'd prefer to get approach 1 to work - can someone point me in the direction of a sensible tutorial for these things?
(Happy to carry on using Netbeans 5.5 or to revert to Sun Studio Enterprise, which I was playing with before.)
All help appreciated, Thanks

Web Service with Complex Results and Flex

I have created a Enterprise Java Bean that has one "test" method that returns a String[]. I have compiled, deployed and registered this bean in Sun's Application Server 8.1. I am using NetBeans 5.0 to develop this project.
I try to load this web service into Flex and I get a fault thrown: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert []@29e5d06 to XMLList. I have set the returnType in Flex as "e4X.". Do I need to do this in my webservice.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi;
I used Fiddler to monitor the process, and it showed the request sent thru web service worked and returned a value, but in my .Net application the return captured as NULL. Could you please look into the code above and the result from Filddler and see if
you can help.
thank you.

Consuming SAP web services with tables

I'm doing kind of feasibility study on consuming SAP web
services from CF.
So far so good, but I'm stuck dealing with tables
(import/export parameters in SAP world).
I know how to receive a table object from SAP functions:
* With Apache Axis v1.2: pass an empty CF structure as a
parameter
* With Apache Axis v1.4: pass an empty CF array as a
parameter
Then the parameter is filled with data (replaced with Java
object) and we can just parse the object accordingly.
My question here is whether or not we can pass a *table with
actual records*.
For example, I want to pass a table with multiple records to
update DB records under SAP.
I tried passing (1) CF array of structure and (2) Java
ArrayList with no chance.
The web service call itself completes without errors (no
method signature error), but the SAP function seems to see the
parameter as an empty table.
Anyone has been successful with this case?
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thanks Dan,
Unfortunately CF query object didn't work either.
Now I'm looking at the code generated by Flex Builder to see
how the classes are like ;-)
It's just an ArrayCollection of simple value objects
(representing a row).
So CF array of structure or Java ArrayList looks a reasonable
approach though they don't at all.

Consuming a Web Service with PasswordDigest Authentication in ABAP

Hello,
I need to consume a web service in ABAP from a non-SAP application. The web service uses wsse:UsernameToken with PasswordDigest in the SOAP Header for authentication. However, I havent seen any documentation for using Password Digest in ABAP.
Is it possible to use Password Digest in ABAP?
Thanks
Ajay

Consuming a web service with header

Hi
I am trying to consume a web service in BIP.
But the problem is that the authentication is in the header of the SOAP, it does not take the values provided in username/password field in complex type service.
(However i am able to see the methods in the body of the web service.)
hence i get an error "username not specified"
how do i pass the credentials in the header of the soap?
I am using BIP 10.1.3.4

This is the output at the oc4j when I try to execute:
After WSS soapMessage = <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://sche
mas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
*<soap:Header></soap:Header>*
<soap:Body xmlns:ns1="urn:XYZ_Request">
<ns1:OpGet>
<ns1:Request_ID>000000000000019</ns1:Request_ID>
</ns1:OpGet>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Notice that Header is null. I want to pass the authentication in the header.

Exporting to Microsoft Excel from a DataView Web Part consuming a Web Service with Parameters

In Sharepoint Designer, I've developed a page displaying a DataView Web Part which consumes an XML Web Service with three parameters. These parameters are passed in from a simple Form Web Part containing three input fields. I am able to provide default values for the web service so the dataview is initially populated, and when I enter in new parameters, the web service goes back, grabs the requested data and displays in the dataview nice and slick.
The problem I'm having is this: In Internet Explorer 7, when I right-click on the DataView Web Part and select Export to Microsoft Excel, Excel opens up, says "ExternalData_1: Getting Data..." and returns the data from the web service which applies to the default parameter values each and every time, regardless of whether I have changed the parameters on the web page, and contrary to what the DataView Web Part displays on the screen.
Has anyone else run into this, and is there a solution to the problem?
Best regards,
Mark Christie

Hi Bullish35,
It's possible to provide single export button and export your 4 dataview webparts. Here's the modified code.
<Script Language="Javascript">
function isIE() // Function to Determine IE or Not
return /msie/i.test(navigator.userAgent) && !/opera/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
function exportToExcel() // Function to Export the Table Data to Excel.
var isIEBrowser = isIE();
if(isIEBrowser== false)
alert('Please use Internet Explorer for Excel Export Functionality.');
return false;
else
var strTableID1 = "detailsTable1", strTableID2 = "detailsTable2", strTableID3 = "detailsTable3", strTableID4 = "detailsTable4";
var objExcel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
var objWorkBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Add;
var objWorkSheet = objWorkBook.Worksheets(1);
var detailsTable = document.getElementById(strTableID1);
var intRowIndexGlobal= 0;
for (var intRowIndex=0;intRowIndex<detailsTable1.rows.length;intRowIndex++)
for (var intColumnIndex=0;intColumnIndex<detailsTable1.rows(intRowIndex).cells.length;intColumnIndex++)
if(intColumnIndex != 3)
objWorkSheet.Cells(intRowIndexGlobal+1,intColumnIndex+1) = detailsTable1.rows(intRowIndex).cells(intColumnIndex).innerText;
intRowIndexGlobal++;
for (var intRowIndex=0;intRowIndex<detailsTable2.rows.length;intRowIndex++)
for (var intColumnIndex=0;intColumnIndex<detailsTable2.rows(intRowIndex).cells.length;intColumnIndex++)
if(intColumnIndex != 3)
objWorkSheet.Cells(intRowIndexGlobal+1,intColumnIndex+1) = detailsTable2.rows(intRowIndex).cells(intColumnIndex).innerText;
intRowIndexGlobal++;
for (var intRowIndex=0;intRowIndex<detailsTable3.rows.length;intRowIndex++)
for (var intColumnIndex=0;intColumnIndex<detailsTable3.rows(intRowIndex).cells.length;intColumnIndex++)
if(intColumnIndex != 3)
objWorkSheet.Cells(intRowIndexGlobal+1,intColumnIndex+1) = detailsTable3.rows(intRowIndex).cells(intColumnIndex).innerText;
intRowIndexGlobal++;
for (var intRowIndex=0;intRowIndex<detailsTable4.rows.length;intRowIndex++)
for (var intColumnIndex=0;intColumnIndex<detailsTable4.rows(intRowIndex).cells.length;intColumnIndex++)
if(intColumnIndex != 3)
objWorkSheet.Cells(intRowIndexGlobal+1,intColumnIndex+1) = detailsTable4.rows(intRowIndex).cells(intColumnIndex).innerText;
intRowIndexGlobal++;
objExcel.Visible = true;
objExcel.UserControl = true;
</Script>
I haven't tested this. But it should work! :)Regards,

Consuming Domino web service with JAXB encounters Method Response element

I am able to consume a Domino R7 (Axis) web service with JAX-WS using Dispatch<SOAPMessage>. When I try using Dispatch<Object> however, JAXB throws an exception because it encounters an unexpected tag.
The XML from the web service looks like this:
<Envelope>
    <Body>
        <WebServiceMethodResponse>
            <WebServiceMethodReturn>
                The meaning of life
            </WebServiceMethodReturn>
        </WebServiceMethodResponse>
    </Body>
</Envelope>With Dispatch<SOAPMessage>, I can get to the meaning of life quickly using SOAPBody.getElementsByTagName( "WebServiceMethodReturn" ) but with Dispatch<Object>, it appears I must also create a class for the WebServiceMethodResponse element to make JAXB happy. I don't see this happening in other people's examples. Has the Return-element-within-Response-element design been eliminated in pure JAX-WS web services, or is this something that only IBM does?

In case anyone's search leads them here, I've posted the solution at:
*[http://www.pby.com/general.nsf/webarticles/dominowebservice01]*
It is an exhaustive article (not "Hello World"!) that goes through several versions of the web service and client - hopefully explaining all+ pieces of the puzzle:
~ web service code,
~ WSDLs
~ schema
~ thoroughly-documented clients that do and do not use JAXB
~ ... that use generated artifacts
~ ... that customize existing POJOs
~ the SOAP messages generated in each direction
~ the necessary JAXB annotations
~ explanations of how the code works
~ explanations of how namespaces affect the code
~ on and on and on...
My constant goal was to write an uncomplicated solution that uses as few artifacts (two) and annotations as possible. The end result is a small, fast JAX-WS 2.0 client that uses JAXB to invoke and consume a secured Domino 7 (1.4.2 JVM + AXIS) web service, using RPC/literal SOAP messages.
