Dynamic forms and Web Services?

So what we are trying to do is get a dynamic form's information into a database.  On the form itself we have several fields wrapped in a subform that is set to repeat.  It is bound to an element from a web service, which allows the form to grow based on the number of rows returned.  We needed to do this because depending on the selection of departments, there could be a different number of rows returned each time.  This works out fine.  The form grows to display different options, based on the selection.
What we're having problems with is writing the changes made back to the database.  We have a web service that is bound to the subform that contains the fields, and also bound to the fields themselves, but we're only able to write the information from the last node, i.e if there were six options that were displayed, and you made changes to all six, only the changes to the last one would be written to the database.  Is there something special that needs to be done on the form side?
Any help is much appreciated.

Yes ...you set up the web service to recieve one parameter .....then you create a multiline field (make it invisible so the user cannot see it). Then use this command to populate the field with the form data:
fieldname.rawValue = xfa.datasets.data.saveXML("pretty");
Now bind this field to the web service input and call it.

  • Dynamic Credentials and Web Service Data Controls

    I've followed Steve Muench's post on using Dynamic Credentials (14.     Dynamic JDBC Credentials for Model 1 and Model 2 [10.1.3.2] 2006, Upd: 17-MAY-2007), which works fine with the ADF BC part of the project. However, the project also contains Data Controls created from web services. I'm getting the following exception. Why are the web services being effected by the credentials and how can I fix it?

  • Adobe forms with Web Service - nothing happens when clicking button.

    Hi,
    I am trying to develop adobe forms with web service. The web service
    WSDL location is :- [http://www.webservicex.net/uklocation.asmx?wsdl]
    I have created a new dataconnection with the above URL, drag & drop fields & button onto the form & save the form.
    when I open the PDF on my local machine, enter the post code and push button, nothing happens. no error/warning message.
    I also downloaded a web service example PDF from [http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/tips/index.html]
    This form also has button to execute a web service but again nothing happens?
    Any clues why this is happening? I turned off my firewall thinking it might be blocking but no joy
    I am using Adobe Life cycle Designer 8 & Adobe reader 8.
    Thanks,

    Hi Pankaj,
    While you are creating Webservice from Java file, select the Aunthenticationtype as SimpleSOAP instead of Basic SOAP (Bydefault BasicSOAP is selected, Change it to SimpleSOAP).
    There are some steps after you create a Webservice.
    First Download WSDL on your Local Machine from WAS.
    After that when you open the zip file you get 3 WSDL's.
    There we need to combine the 3 wsdl's and make it into one wsdl after you do this process.
    Incorporate the WSDL in your interactive form and drag and drop the button onto the form.
    Please don't try to edit any of the method because it will not work if you try to change any feature.
    If you want to write Javascript for that method write it in "enter" method, script type:Javascript.
    If you have any queries you can ping.

  • Help with Radio Group and Web Service

    Hi,
         I created a Radio Group with Dynamic Entry List (Web Service).  It seems my list keeps coming back empty.  I am on SP10. 
         When I deploy I get warnings that "Entry List is missing output fields mapping.  I think this is a warning only because I don't have my form connected to any other components.  I just want to see the radio group populated. I don't think this is the cause. 
    I see references out there to this "Dynamic List" not working until SP12?  Can anyone add some insight to what is wrong?  unsupported until later?
    Thanks!

    I created a new model and the new model works fine.  Something must be cached.

  • Dynamically invoking a web service.

    How can i dynamically invoke a web service using jax-ws proxy?

    We will need more information on your use case.
    Typically, a JAX-WS proxy refers to the Java Proxy object that implements the interface for your port. If this is what you have then you could dynamically invoke it using reflection.
    However, if you really want to do dynamic invocation then you should look at the Dispatch interface. You can get a Dispatch instance from your Service object and use this to issue raw requests using SOAPMessage or streams. This will require that your application have expertise in generating SOAP requests from the WSDL of the target endpoint, but this is what is typically done in enterprise service bus type products.
    If that's not your use case, let us know.

  • Apex and web services

    Hello everyone,
    I've started looking into SOAP and web services, and have used Tyler Muth's tutorial to email and FTP BI publisher reports using APEX.
    I was wondering if it is possible to create an on-screen report (i.e. an interactive report) using a web service?
    I've managed to return values to form fields using web services...I was always under the impression, from before I looked at web services, that creating an on-screen report using data from a web service was one of the main things you could do....
    Please could someone let me know if this is possible, and roughly how you'd go about doing it?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Robin,
    I think I have implemented the same thing which you are trying to do
    The followinf is the response of a web service from BI Publisher. You can check the response using the statement

  • EAI AND WEB SERVICES

    Hi,
    What is the difference between web services and EAI ?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Salient Differences between Traditional EAI Solutions and Web Services
    A few essential differences between traditional EAI solutions and Web Services are, as follows:
    Simple: There is no doubt that Web Services are much simpler to design, develop, maintain, and use as compared to a typical EAI solution which may involve distributed technology such as DCOM and CORBA. Once the framework of developing and using Web Services is ready, it will be relatively easy to automate new business processes spanning across multiple applications.
    Open Standards: Unlike proprietary EAI solutions, Web Services are based on open standards such as UDDI, SOAP, HTTP and this is probably the single most important factor that would lead to the wide adoption of Web Services. The fact that they are built on existing and ubiquitous protocols eliminates the need for companies to invest in supporting new network protocols.
    Flexible: Since EAI solutions may require point-to-point integration, changes made at one end have to be propagated to the other end, making them very rigid and time consuming in nature. Web Services based integration is quite flexible, as it is built on loose coupling between the application publishing the services and the application using those services.
    Cheap: EAI solutions, such as message brokers, are very expensive to implement. Web Services, in the future, may accomplish many of the same goals - cheaper and faster.
    Scope: EAI solutions, such as message brokers, integrate applications treating them as single entities, whereas Web Services allow companies to break down big applications into small independent logical units and build wrappers around them. For example, a company can write wrappers for different business components of an ERP application such as order management - purchase order acceptance, status of order, order confirmation, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
    Efficient: As mentioned in the previous point, Web Services allow applications to be broken down into smaller logical components, which makes the integration of applications easier as it is done on a granular basis. This makes Web Services solutions for EAI much more efficient than traditional EAI solutions.
    Dynamic: Web Services provide a dynamic approach to integration by offering dynamic interfaces, whereas traditional EAI solutions are pretty much static in nature.

  • XML and Web Service Data Source Missing in Crystal Reports for VS

    I would like to use a Web Service as the data source for a Crystal Report that will be running outside of my Visual Studio application.  So setting the data source to the web service in code is not possible.  My understanding is Crystal Reports has a connection (in the Database Expert under New Connection) named XML and Web Service.  Here you can select web service and enter the WSDL URL for the web service.  However it does not appear in the list for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio.  Does this connection type come with the Visual Studio version of Crystal Reports and if not is their a way to obtain it? 
    Thank you for your assistance.

    None of the bundled versions of CR have the driver. Reason is that the driver responsible for these connections requires the Java framework and I suspect MS would not be too pleased if we installed the Java framework. The stand alone versions, since they are not part of any bundle can and do install the Java framework and the driver. Note that even the latest release of CR - CRVS2010 does not have the driver as it essentially becomes a bundle or a VS2010 plug-in.
    So, the short of it is; you have to obtain a stand-alone version of CR. I'd recommend CR 2008 (12.x) as CRXI R2 will run out of support in June of this year.

  • Oracle Application server Forms and Report services 10.1.2.0.2 on Windows 2

    Hi,
    I am installing the Oracle Application server Forms and Report services 10.1.2.0.2 on Windows 2003 R2, but the problem is that setup is not running on this Windows 2003 R2 version.
    Any idea about this why it is not running.
    Regards,

    You asked this
    How can i find what is the latest version that i can upgrade this install to
    I told you where to find the last update, I checked that version yesterday, the last update is 10.1.2.3, my misstake was to put a 0 before the 3.
    You can go to Patches & update>Quick Links to: Latest Patchsets, Mini Packs and Maintenance Packs>Oracle Fussion Middle Ware> Look for you OS versión and CPU> No clic just put pointer over the links and you will see the last one.
    And finaly could look for the CPU of Jul and Apr that as requirement they ask for version 10.1.2.3 (as I say I checked yesterday)

  • Can't run wiki and web services at the same time?

    I'm a newbie with Lion Server, but I've been running several web sites successfully for about 6 months.  I'm up to Server 10.7.4.
    I've been trying ever since the first installation of Server to get the wiki service running.  I had absolutely no luck until I turned OFF the web service (always got the "URL does not exist" error when I tried to create a group wiki from inside the Server app).  With the web service off, it all starts up fine and I created my first wiki (woohoo).  Turning web service back on kills access to the wiki.  I don't find reference to this in any of the dicussions, and especially not in Apple's documentation.
    Are the Wiki and Web services mutually exclusive?  Or is there a way around this?
    I'm using Dyndns to provide me with sub-domains to use, and I've dedicated one of them to the wiki service.  Traffic comes in on port 8080, where my web sites are on port 80.
    Thanks for any pointers...

    LR supports tethering using a Canon DLL and EOS Utility probably also supports tethering or at least uses something from a similar Canon DLL.  You probably cannot have two different versions of that DLL loaded at the same time, so it makes sense there are problems.

  • Query on install Oracle AS Forms and Reports Services

    Hi All,
    I want to install 'Oracle Internet Application Server Products - Forms and Reports', I referenced the 'Forms and Reports Services Installation Guides 10g Release 2(10.1.2) for Windows B16392-02'.
    I install successfully up to Chapter 5.
    When I jump into Chapter 6 of the release (Configuring Forms and Reports Services to Use an Oracle Application Server Infrastructure), I followed the guideline but could not see my AS has any way to allow me to configure Oracle Identity Management/OracleAS Metadata Repository/Starting OPMN Services/Testing the Configuration.... Is it because my AS is just for Forms and Reports and not a full feature one? How I can test my AS is working?
    On the other hand, is it possible to migrate forms and reports from old version like Developer 2000 4.5 to 10g? Any reference or suggestion?
    And what I need to do more with the current AS in order to allow me to upload forms and reports to it? Please kindly advise.
    Best Regards
    AC

    Hi AC!
    There are two versions of Forms and Reports: one standalone and one as part of the Application Server. The second one will offer the Infrastructure. If you use the second one then you will have an Infrastructure after the installation.
    Seems to me that you do not have the complete AS but the standalone version.
