Generic Web Service Operation

I am trying to have a web service that accepts any operation from the client. The operation is unknown by the web service at the time of teh call. This is to put on a web servce front-end for a non-web service. I also want it to read a raw SOAP message instead of the schema sent, so I can just pass on the xml.
Any ideas? I am going to start researching if the SOAP Message handlers can accomplish this.

You can use javax.xml.ws.Provider interface provided by JAX-WS. Provider interface let you exchange xml documnent. However, client and provider need to know information they are going to process.
You can use WebLogic 10.0 which is JAX-WS compliant.

Web service operation ... with parameters {} cannot be found

Hi All,
I am accessing a web service of a web site using ColdFusion.Each time I am calling the web service I am getting the message "Web service operation ... with parameters {} cannot be found".The wsdl file showing the parameter as complex type .So I have passed value to the particular method using structure and xml type each time I gets that error message.I can not post here the wsdl for security reason.
When I am calling this Web service from .net it is working without any problem. .NET directly creating the objects of the parameter which the method is needed from the wsdl but I don't know whether it is possible in ColdFusion or not.Also I don't know whether the web service in .net or in other language.
Please suggest something.
Thanks
Upen

Thanks for your response.
Yes, I have passed all the arguments but it seems the web application is coded in .net and by googling I came to know that if the .net receives a complex type of object then it creates problem when we pass argument from coldfusion.(means type mismatch)
If you know about it please suggest .

Web service operation could not be found.

Would CF give this error if there was simply an error in the
cffunction code? The service is there and it looks fine. In fact,
most of the code comes from another cffunction in the same file,
but with more arguments and some additional code. I have cleared
the server cache several times.
It's driving me nuts. The error codes sometimes just don't
make any sense or are misleading. I hope future versions of CF deal
with this better.
Web service operation "RegisterFiles" with parameters
{groupID={185},folder={/},filename={MOV04684.MPG},userName={xxxx},userPassword={xxxx},fil eType={video}}
could not be found.

NealCrankshaw, in your case you definitaly need to use java
in order to create and use complex data types arguments with your
web service. Here are the steps to follow in nutshell
1. Use wsdl2java tool (CF_HOME/runtime/bin) tsupplying URL to
webservice WSDL to create java code.
2. Create java classes by compiling java code created in step
1
3. Create jar file(s) from classes in step 2
4. Put jar file in CF classpath or just copy it to
CF_HOME/lib directory
5. Using <cfscript> create required objects, arrays and
other arguments and supply them to web service method call.

Web Service Operation Timeout - How can this be done?

Good day.
We are running OC4J 10.1.3.3 in a standalone container. We are deploying stateless Web Services. I am wondering if there is a way for us to specify a timeout at the operation level from all clients? Right now, we are observing that some requests just never seem to timeout. For example, the web service operation is calling a 3rd party component that might take a while to complete, but we don't want to have our clients wait.
I realize that we can just have the client timeout, however, it does not affect the application server as the request seems to keep on going. I have had some requests being as old as 28 days. Is this handled by the global thread pool? I know we can do min / max etc, but what about a timeout of an active thread?
So, I am curious if anyone has tackled this before? I know we can code this into the request, however, this seems like something the container / service should be able to handle via a configuration.
Any insights / suggestions would be great. Is this a possibility?
Thanks,
BradW

Several ways to do this (I don't work enough in Motion to advise there), but in FCP...one way would be...
V1 - background visual
V2 - Rectangle Shape (from Shapes Generator/bottom right of viewer)
V3 - Primary keyed image (car in the video clip)
V4 - Same as V2 (only tweak the Rectangle settings)
V5 - Same as V3 (duplicated shot of car)
V6/V7 - V8/V9 repeat as needed for different layers...
Apply 'Composite Mode - Travel Matte/Luma) to each of the 'car' video layers.
Then offset each pair of car/rectangle layers as you wish to see them over time.
This approach will not give you drop shadow abilities. There are ways to make that happen, along with different approaches to the effect itself.
Play around...it's one of the best ways to learn FCP capabilites for editing/compositing.

How to Call web service operation by creating plain SOAP message in client?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
I have some questions about using web methods of a web service which i would be very gratfull if you could answer.
I should implement a web service that should receive a file with some other parameters from client and another web service which should receive some parameters and return a file.
I used a mechanism like the following one to handle the condition and it just works. But I have a problem, I need to create dynamic invocation and I must create soap message and send it to webservice (no IDE generated code)
What i need is one or two tips or a sample that shows how we can send and receive files by web services.
I want to know how we can create the SOAP message ourself and then send it to the web service endpoint and it call the web method and ....
Imagine the following web method, How i can invoke it by creating soap message myself and sending it to end point.
@WebMethod
public String saveFile(@WebParam(name = "fileName") String fileName, @WebParam(name = "fileContent") byte[] fileContent) {
// TODO implement operation
return "Something";
Another question is :
Does this mechanism that i used to transfer files is OK?
Is it optimized or there are some other ways to do this job.
I should say that i put one week on handlers to use soap attachments and i get no result.
So, Please let me know if you know or have some sample that show me how to do the above job.
Thanks.

Hi
From NW04s SP8 you can create webservice systems from within VC , and you will have the option of adding a user and password to authenticate. You can find it at Tools>>Define web service system. You will see a check box url requires user and password.
If for some reason you can not do it in VC then you should create the system in the portal and fill out the usermapping screens.

Web Service operation not in SOAP request

Hi There,
I have a problem with the SOAP receiver adapter.
I have created an external definition and uploaded a wsdl file. Several messages have been created out of the file.
In my mapping I fill the message structure from the wsdl file. When I send the message to the Web Service I get an error back.
The reason for this error seam to be a missing tag under the SOAP:Body element. Because when I create a SOAP request with the XMLSPY, it looks like this:
<SOAP:Body>
<m:setVendor xmlns:m="http://..." ...>
<ns8:v xmlns:ns8="http://...">
But in the message from the XI adapter the <m:setVendor..> tag is missing:
<SOAP:Body>
<ns8:v xmlns:ns8="http://...">
This m: tag seems to be the operation of the web service.
Has anybody an Idea how to solve this?
Is the error in the SOAP adapter or in the message definition?
By the way, can I display the complete SOAP message that has been sent out from the adapter with any XI tool (including SOAP header)?
BR,
Jürgen

Jurgen
I have exactly the same problem in a RFC -> RFC Adapter -> XI -> SOAP Adapter -> Web Service scenario.
What we see is that the external vendor wants the SOAP to be in "documet-literal wrapped" whereas XI is returning is as "document literal".
**I don't want to change the original wsdl file because it was provided by our business partner and a modification could cause problems when release update.
But I have build a workaround with an XSL stylesheet as a second mapping step in my Interface Mapping. The stylesheet adds the missing operation tag into the XML message.**
Even in our case we dont want to change wsdl, the operation & soap body are going as two parts we want the soap body in operation,i think this can be achieved by xsl stylesheet,Can u please brief us about xsl stylesheet as a second mapping step in interface maping.I dint work on xsl before......
Advance thanx for ur help

now I need to populate these values thrugh Operation binding in my managed bean class. I have also dragged these parameters and operation on my jsf page to get hold of those in my managed bean context. I am having following code in my managed bean to set these parameters.
BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
OperationBinding storeDocumentBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("StoreDocument");
storeDocumentBinding.getParamsMap().put("docFileType", filetype);
storeDocumentBinding.getParamsMap().put("Content", filecontents);
storeDocumentBinding.getParamsMap().put("indexType", filecontents);
storeDocumentBinding.getParamsMap().put("indexValue", filecontents);
storeDocumentBinding.getParamsMap().put("indexType", filecontents);
storeDocumentBinding.getParamsMap().put("indexValue", filecontents);
storeDocumentBinding.execute();
Here I am facing some issues:
1. The operation is not picking values put from ParamMap(). It is taking values as empty (as in my .jspx page form, I have made it hidden though). It takes value from my jspx page form, which is blank.
2. when I am manually entering values in the .jspx page form, for <indexValue> and <indexType> tags, it is taking only one value (last one) for creating the request.
3. the storeDocument() function is a SOAP based service. How can I check for SOAP response after operationBinding.execute(). I checked for response after execution, it sends an object as result. How to get a SOAP response from it.
I need to fetch few values from the SOAP response and display it on screen.
Please help me out. I am noob in ADF.
regards,
Rajan

Hi Puthanampatti,
I followed the link and did exactly as mentioned. Here is my code
public String downloadDocument(FacesContext context, OutputStream out) throws IOException {
BindingContext bctx = BindingContext.getCurrent();
BindingContainer bindings = bctx.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
OperationBinding retrieveDocumentBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("RetrieveDocument");
DCIteratorBinding attachmentsIterator = (DCIteratorBinding)bindings.get("AttachmentsIterator");
String documentId = attachmentsIterator.getCurrentRow().getAttribute("Seq").toString();
System.out.println(customSoapProvider.getRequest()); // getting null here
AttributeBinding docFileTypeVal = (AttributeBinding)bindings.getControlBinding("docId");
docFileTypeVal.setInputValue(522117);
Object result = retrieveDocumentBinding.execute();
System.out.println(customSoapProvider.getResponse()); //getting null here
but I am getting a null response in the last line.
what am I missing here.

Web Service Operation Returning null

Hi All,
I have a web service proxy generated from WSDL. Which is generated fine.
Once i started using the operations in the Client program. the call to the webservice is successful but the return type(This is a complex type, referring to different elements and xsds) is null.
Please help !!!!
This is the code snippet of my client code
confService = new ConferenceService();
ConferencePortType confPortType = conferenceService.getConferencePort();
// Add your code to call the desired methods.
GetConferenceRequest getCReq = new GetConferenceRequest();
getCReq.setConferenceRecordNumber(20707);
System.out.println("getConfReq == "+getCReq.getConferenceRecordNumber());
ConferenceBODType conf = conferencePortType.getConference(getCReq);
if (conf != null && conf.getConference() != null)
//conf.getConference() is null
System.out.println("Get Conference Id -- "
+conf.getConference().getConferenceHeader().getConferenceRecNum());
//gc = gc.transformConference(conf);
else
System.out.println("ConferenceBODType is null");
I am getting ConferenceBODType is null because of the second condition in the if statement
Please suggest, what can be the problem.
Thanks,
Sri

Shay,
The link worked. I generated Java Web Service from my WSDL, and tested using the HTTP analyzer
But for get Operation method on the WSDL, I could not see anything in the response object, but the same operation i could see the output in soapUIPro.
Can you give me some more guildelines to debug...
Thanks,

Web Service Operation returns null values

I got a Flash program that uses a Web Service. I linked the actionscript to the Flex Files to get my connection to work. I got it to work fine, but the problem is with sending it parameters. This only works on functions without parameters. But when I try to pass parameters, it returns null. I also tried using the argruments function, but that caused it to return error. What do I do to make it work? Here is my code below:
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import mx.rpc.soap.*;
import mx.rpc.events.*;
import mx.rpc.AbstractOperation;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.utils.Timer;

var loginOperation: AbstractOperation;
var nickname:String;

var gameName:String = "CRAZ";
//loginTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, SetupWebService);

IP Filtering of web service operations

Our customer has a very specific security requirement. They want to restrict access to web service (on a operations level) based on IP Address Filtering. Besides the question whether this is wise or not (IP Spoofing ?!?) we are researching whether this can be done easily in OSB 10.3
You can do Connection Filter on a weblogic server level. As I understand this is application server wide So this is not usable for use.
The only thing we can think of is doing it inside the service implementation itself. There you can extract the client-address from the inbound ($inbound/ctx:transport/ctx:request/http:client-address). We can check this IP address against a list of addresses we store in a custom list (some database or other store).
Has anybody any other ideas? Is there a more elegant, less proprietary way to solve this? I already though of using access based control (XACML) but our customer does not want this (or cannot do it?!?). They cannot or will not put any identity inside the messages (usernames etc.)
Regards
Frank

Hi Damorgan,
Can we use sys_context to get the ipaddr of web users? I was under the impression that sys_context will be giving ipaddr of web server and not the user desktop ipaddr from where he is connecting to webserver via for eg IE.

Help - Web Service Operation-level (rather than end-point level) policies

Hi Guys,
According to the documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/apirefs.1111/e13952/taskhelp/webservices/ConfigureWSPolicyFile.html
you can associate a policy at the end-point level, or the operation level.
I'm wondering if the service implements policy at the operation level, what is required from a client perspective to set SecurityPolicyFeature just for a specific operation?
Or, does one have to continually keep requesting a new port with the appropriate feature for each operation?
e.g.
// operation without policy
StockMarketPortType port = service.getStockMarketPortTypePort();
Integer stockprice = port.getStockPrice("ORCL");
// if ORCL stock price looks good ... :)
// operation with SAML policy
SecurityPolicyFeature securityFeatures[] =
new SecurityPolicyFeature("oracle/wss11_saml_token_with_message_protection_client_policy")
port = service.getStockMarketPortTypePort(securityFeatures);
boolean result = port.sellStock("ORCL", 500);
thanks
Matt.

Matt,
As Bethune mentioned, the WSS implementation that is part of WebLogic does support operation and message-level policy attachments, but Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) does not. The SecurityPolicyFeature you reference in your sample is from OWSM. Do you mind sharing any more details about your use case (and specifically why you would have different policy for different operations) that I could share with OWSM?
In the meantime, your workaround is a good one (different port instances).
Thanks,
Ryan

Web Service Operations

Hi,
Is it possible to get list of operations from an wsdl file through Web service client? with out using wsdl2java tool?
Thanks.

Hello Bala,
I have tried using many WSDL files. Even the WSDL file stated in the blog by Kai /people/community.user/blog/2006/10/27/create-new-argo-object-with-the-argo-web-service-wizard could not show the service methods for me.
I also tried this wsdl file as well.
http://www.ignyte.com/webservices/ignyte.whatsshowing.webservice/moviefunctions.asmx?wsdl
And offcourse, my intension is to try Amazon or ebay webservices and get the search results which I still could not get any service methods displayed
Thanking you.

Error building Application Service because of Web Service operator

Hi Guys,
I have a CAF Project and I want to import a standard Web Service from a SAP Java System.
I can import the Web Service, but I can't generate it. The error is, that two operations, called getProperty and setProperty, are in reserved Namespace.
Because it is an SAP Web Service I can't change the names of these operations.
Has anyone an idea how I could resolve this problem?

Hello Madhav,
You have to maintain your 'business transaction profile' (SPRO->CRM->IC Web->Business Transaction->Define bus. trans. prof.) in the customizing and assign that profile to your IC WebClient profile (the one you assigned in the org. model)
In the business transaction profile you must make sure that at least one transaction type (e.g. ZSRV) is assigned as 'Dependent business transaction' and that entry is flagged as 'Service'.
Also make sure that that transaction type (ZSRV) has leading business transaction category 'Service process' (BUS2000116).
This should solve your problem!
Kind regards,
Joost
