How to add "Prepare Data" from a web service to the form

Hello,
Can any one please advise on how to add the "Prepare Data" process from the existing web service and have the form to pre-populate the data from this "Prepare Data" process instead of using schema xsd. I heard that this is an alternative or may be a better way to pre-populate data in ES2/ES3 to avoiding creating a data source in Form Designer. I try to find a sample on Adobe site but could not find one, most of them are using schema.
Any guidance or URL to the sample would be helpful.
Thanks,
HD

How to retrieve data from a web service

Hi
i am at very beginner level about web services.
I am searching for a simple example of retrieving data from a web services, but cant find.
How can i get xml data from a web service. i dont need to develop the web service it is already ready, i just need how could i fetch data from it.
Can somebody point out or give an example?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
just create a skeleton for the Web Service. In JDeveloper, create a new project and then use the "NEW" context menu option.
Navigate to "Business Tier" --> Web Services and select "Web Service Proxy"
In teh following, provide the WSDL reference to create the Java proxy. This gives you accss to the WS without having to parse the XML yourself

Converting string data from a web service respons into XML structure of XI

Hi,
We receive a string structure from a web service.
The string structure has an xml type format, that is all the tags and its content are in one line .
The WSDL file of the webservice defines its response structure as a string type.
How do i convert this string into proper XML structure (predefined by me in Integration repository).
OR how do i make XI understand this string as an XML structure for further processing.
Later i have to map this XML message type into IDoc.

Hi Himani,
Please find the code for ur requirement -
String need to parse -<response_webservice><from_date>20080101</from_date><to_date>20080202</to_date></response_webservice>
Below mentioned code will convert it to -<MT_DATA><FROMDATE>20080202</FROMDATE><TODATE>20080101</TODATE></MT_DATA>
Create a Message type and map it like this using java mapping ( no need to use Graphical mapping).
Use MT_DATA as source and map it to your target structure .

How to access HTTP Header from within Web service?

Hello,
Is there a way to access HTTP header variables like CONTENT_TYPE, CONTENT_LENGTH from within Web Logic web service.
I was able to get the HTTP header variable from within Apache AXIS services by calling context.getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETREQUEST
How can i do this from weblogic web service.
I need this to verify the client SSL_CLIENT_DN
In access I can get the header as follows.
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) context
.getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETREQUEST);
clientID = req.getHeader("SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_Email");
Thanks

Get xml data from a web service into Forms?

Hello folks! I am reading active directory info from a web service into forms via imported java classes. I can read from functions that return strings just fine, but I have to get the output from getGroupUsers which returns an XmlDataDocument. How do I read this in and parse it in Forms?
I will be grateful if y'all could point me to an example.
Thank you,
Gary
P.S. Here is a snippet of how I get the full name by passing an ID:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(100);
BEGIN
jo := ADSoapClient.new;
rv := ADSoapClient.getUserName(jo, 'user_ID');
:block3.fullname := rv;

Hello,
Since you are already dealing with server-side JAVA, I would suggest you create a method that would do the parsing server-side and what your PL/SQL will be dealing with is just the return string.
Here is a method I use to read an XML file (actually, it is an Oracle Reports file converted to XML) and from the string version, I will do search, replace and other things.
So, from getGroupUsers which returns an XmlDataDocument, you can adapt this method to get your data server-side and let the form module read the output data.
<blockquote>
private String processFileXml(String fileName, int iFile) throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXException,
IOException, XPathExpressionException{
try{
DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
domFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(new File(fileName));
DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(inputStream);
StringWriter stw = new StringWriter();
Transformer serializer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
serializer.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(stw));
return stw.toString();
catch (Exception e){
System.err.println(e);
System.exit(0);
return "OK";

Let me know if this is of nay help.
Thanks.

How to use generated code from "Import Web Services" with Cairngorm Framework

I recently downloaded Flex Builder 3 beta 2 and tried out the
wizard that lets you import web services. The code that is
auto-generated makes if fairly straight forward to consume web
services using the object types defined in the WSDL. No longer does
the developer need to decode the XML payload! The only problem I am
having is how does you integrate the auto- generated code with the
Cairngorm framework? This seems like a huge question for anyone who
might want to leverage Cairngorm and the auto-generated proxy code
in the same project (like me).
Here are the problems that I see so far.
1) How do you configure the generated service class to work
with the Cairngorm service locator? The service constructor only
accepts a “LCDS destination string” which implies that
you must use Lifecycle data services. Unfortunately, the project I
am trying to retrofit currently uses a WebService and does not use
data services. All I really need to do is change the endpoint URL
(ie from local to a development server). This issue is noted in the
bug https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-8456. What I think is
needed is a way to set the endpointURI in the Services.mxml file.
2) Even if I come up with a hack around #1, I do not receive
a callback to my IResponder even though I register it immediately
after the method call. I can register and listener function within
my business delegate and receive the callback, but my Command
object, which implements IResponder, does not receive the call back
even though it is registered. From what I read in the ASDocs it
should but it doesn’t for me!
These are the issues I have observed in 3 hours of messing
with this. I hope this makes sense. I would love to integrate
auto-generated web service proxies into Cairngorm but I don’t
see a straight forward way without re-architecting Cairngorm. Has
any one else run across this issue? If so, do you have any insights
on how to proceed? Any help is appreciated.

Since I posted this question, I have abandoned the notion of
auto-generated web services and embraced the good old FDS concept
where the RemoteObject meta-tag does all the conversion work for
me. We are now using the Granite DS package and it is working well
for us. I would love to consume web services, but it just isn't
worth the hassle when all you have to do with Granite (and FDS) is
cast your return objects to the proper object type.
BTW, since this posting, I have investigated competing Flex
app frameworks. After my research, I checked out the PureMVC
framework. Wow!! Cairngorm always left me with an uneasy feeling
and I guess I am not alone. Apparently, Cliff Hall felt the same
way. That is why he started the project. I like his approach alot
more than Cairngorm especially since it includes notifications
which allow me to broadcast my own app level events independent
from the AS Event framework. Check out PureMVC. For what it is
worth, it has my humble endorsement. Cliff was even gracious enough
to acknowledge the other Adobe Consulting guys for their work. Good
for you Cliff, I respect that. Check out a better way at

How can I plott data from a text file in the same way as a media player using the pointer slide to go back and fort in my file?

I would like to plott data from a text file in the same way as a media player does from a video file. I’m not sure how to create the pointer slide function. The vi could look something like the attached jpg.
Please, can some one help me?

Plotting from a text file like a media player example.jpg ‏61 KB

HI Martin,
i am not realy sure what you want!?!?
i think you want to display only a part of the values you read from XYZ
so what you can do:
write all the values in an array.
the size of the array is the max. value of the slide bar
now you can select a part of the array (e.g. values from 100 to 200) and display this with a graph
the other option is to use the history function of the graphes

How to access application state from stateless web service?

I have a beginner J2EE question. After reading through J2EE tutorial, I still don't know how to create an application that would run on J2EE server, and which would have a web service interface to other world, and which would have several threads running, which would connect to other enterprise applications via TCP? Because if I understand it correctly, web service requires a stateless session bean, which means that it can't access any stateleful session bean (except always create one and remove it instantly). So there seems to be no way to store application state and have running threads.
I'm asking this because .NET seems to have a very simple Application dictionary, which can save all application objects, including threads, and it is very easy to access this Application state from a stateless web service. Isn't there any similar functionality in J2EE? And if not, how it should be done in Java world then?
I guess that the Connector architecture could be the solution, but it is not documented in the tutorial.

There's nothing in the J2EE spec that says that you have to use Web Services. Web Services by definition are stateless.
If your requirements are that you have to use a session bean along with a Web Service, then the architecture needs to be rethought, because it doesn't seem to me that Web Services are what you want.
That said, you can use a hybrid. You can expose some of the functionality of your application as Web Services while the remaining is implemented in a classic J2EE type framework that is stateful.
I would also think that you could store your application state via entity beans. You could save and load them when the web service is accessed. An entity bean doesn't require a database... just some form of persistence (could be an XML file for instance).
You need to decide which components of J2EE make sense when and where.

How to add two date format in web i report.

Hi Every One,
I have Fields like Start Date,New Date, Close Date, End date balance.
that Fields all are in date format like start date(05/05/14), New date(06/05/14),Close date(09/05/14)
But i need result (start date+new date)-close date=enddate balance .
How will achieve this requirement in web i please replay me.

Hi Stefen Jay,
For suppose, let us assume you have START DATE, NEW DATE and CLOSE DATE as mentioned below.
And please make sure that all START DATE, END DATE, NEW DATE are in same format.(MM/dd/yyyy)
Now first you need to add start date and new date. Create a variable
Start Date & New Date = RelativeDate([Start Date];DayNumberOfMonth([New Date])) // Gives 5/11/14 as result.
And now subtract Close Date from the above result using this formula.
End Date = RelativeDate([Start Date & New Date];-DayNumberOfMonth([Close Date])) //Gives 5/2/14 as result.
Find below screenshot for reference.

How to update data from a web service

Hi all,
I have a webservice that returns some data as e4x type. I
pull the data i need and put it into an object. I manipulate that
data, then I want to write it back with another webservice. I get
serialization errors when I call the update method. I must be doing
something wrong here. Can anyone help?
Webservice Methods:

removing them in an object called contactData.

Hi,
just create a skeleton for the Web Service. In JDeveloper, create a new project and then use the "NEW" context menu option.
Navigate to "Business Tier" --> Web Services and select "Web Service Proxy"
In teh following, provide the WSDL reference to create the Java proxy. This gives you accss to the WS without having to parse the XML yourself

XML data from a Web Service sometimes missing fields I need, any ideas on a trap?

I get reports from our ERP via a web service to SSRS. Just got asked to make a tweak in a report and find that the WebService only sends data that is needed for this transaction. My issue is our entire system is based around EACH item we make.
New Trading Partner got Case Price. We put two of our items together in a box for them is all that happened.
Need to identify package column that had "ea" hard coded.
When I get a cs item there are more elements that identify conversion factor UOM etc. They are only sent down for CASE items. How do I trap for a column not being there 99.98555% of the time?
_conv = conversion factor. I only receive it with a 2,4,6 in it whe4n the item is not an each.
=iif(Len(Fields!tcibd003_conv.Value) >0 , Fields!inh4470_qshp.Value / Fields!tcibd003_conv.Value , Fields!inh4470_qshp.Value )
How do I trap for this? I tried Fields!tcibd003_conv.IsMissing but that didn't seem to work as expected.
TIA

Hello,
Sorry, I cannot get your requirment and report design structure currently. Can you post the following information to us ? It is benefite us for further analysis.

How to bind list data to XML Web service request

How do I bind specific columns in a DataGrid to the Web
service request? I'm having trouble finding any documentation that
addresses that specific pattern, i.e. sending a complex list to the
server via a Flex Web service send() command. I'm fairly new to
Flex programming and don't know if what I want to do is possible.
Here what I've been able to do so far.
1. Using a Web service called a service on the server and
retrieved a complex list.
2. Poplulated a DataGrid with the result
3. The user has selected multiple rows from the DataGrid
using a checkbox column
4. The user pressed a button that calls a Web service send().
This Web service should only send data from only two columns and
only for those rows the user has checked.
5. I can loop over the DataGrid and find the selected rows
and put them in another ArrayCollection called 'selectedRows'.
The issue is that I don't know how to bind 'selectedRows' to
the Web service. Right now I'm reading up on "Working with XML" in
the Programming with ActionScript 3.0 chapter. But I'm just fishing
here. No bites yet.

Don't bind. Build the request object programatically, as you
are doing with your selectedRows AC, and send(myObject) that.
