Making Web Service calls from a Form in the WorkSpace

I am getting conflicting information about this, so I hope someone here could clarify it. TIA.
This is what I want to do:
after a form is displayed/launched in the WorkSpace,
when the user Tabs out of a field (Exit event) on the form,
I want to make a Web Service call from the form,
get the result from the WebService,
and use the Result to populate another field on the form.
I know for certain that this works if I Reader-Extend the form,
and I set the JavaScript at the Exit event (to execute WebService call)
as "Run At Client".
The question is:
can I make the WebService calls without Reader-Extending the form???
I have been told that, yes you can,
but *only if* you let the JavaScript "Run At Server".
I tried that, but it caused the Reader to crash.
Some other people told me,
no you can not,
even if you "Run At Server", the form still needs to be Reader-Extended,
when using it in the WorkSpace environment.
So, what is the truth? can someon tell me?
Can I make WebServers calls from the Server-side at all?
Do I really need to Reader-Extend the form even if calling it from server side?
What exactly is it SUPPOSED to work?
thanks

yes, thank you both. I got the fix from Adobe Tech Support last week. It's working.
The fix I got included a rather complex looking "Submit Service" though. Makes me wonder how a regular user would know that he needs to write such a Submit Service?? and even if he knows that he needs a special Submit Service, would he know how to write it??? I found no documentation for this type of things either.
Shouldn't this solution be published somewhere in Adobe's website? Dev Lab perhaps?

Occasional SOAP errors when making web service calls from C#

We have a C# application making web service calls to RFCs (non-NCO, SAP 4.7, WAS 6.40) and occasionally getting the following error:
The 'SOAP-ENV:Envelope' start tag on line '1' does not match the end tag of 'SOAP-ENV:Envel'. Line 1, position 34560.
This error happens randomly and can occur, not occur, and occur again for the exact same call (same data, same web service call). I anticipate that we might have a missing configuration on one of our application servers, but don't know where to tell BASIS to look. Any ideas or other help would be appreciated.

That's going to be difficult. The random nature of the error makes it impossible to reproduce (so far) in our Development and Test environments. Since the error is coming from the SAP side, I believe I would need a sniffer on each production application server in order to try to catch this and that would result in some very large log files. Is there any log file or other SAP transaction that might already be capturing these failures?

Web Service call from adobe form

Hello,
I developed the form in SFP, I created a webservice and tested the web service with a third party tool, this works fine. I added a new dataconnection and imported the wsdl file. I linked the request parameter to a from field and the returns parameters to a form field, added a button with "execute" , with run at server option. I didn't check the Re-merge Form data check-box. When generating the form everything go's well, when I open the form in the reader and fill in the request parameter and push the button i still get the message :
"can not post data to."
I'm using Adobe Reader 7.09 and Life Cycle Designer 7.1. On a SAP ECC 6.0 SP08 system.
Additionaly I looking for example script for binding the request node to a field value ? Or a examples of searching a node table with a value, like a check table within the form. I'm really looking for more scripting examples because I'm a real ABAP-guy.
I hope some one got some extra information for me to solve this problem.
Thanx in advance.
Jasper

Hi Jasper,
You may refer the Adobe ddevelopment center for the docs related to the execute property of the button to trigger a web service.
<i>Alternatively, if you do not want to create a button to execute a call to a Web Service, you can do it via Script.
Assuming your Data Connection is named LeasePayment
For JavaScript:
xfa.connectionSet.LeasePayment.execute(0);
For Form Calc:
$connectionSet.LeasePayment.execute(0);
execute(0) indicates no data merging
execute(1) indicates all the data in the data DOM will be remerged.</i> - Adobe doc.
hope this will help.
Thanks andRegards,
Anto.

Configuring SSL to make a HTTPS web Service call from XI

Hi All,
We are making a <b>https web service call</b> using soap adapter from XI. Looking at the various posts and SAP help links, we are configuring SSL for the same.
The procedure given in SAP help has been followed to configure SSL but with no luck. If someone had done this could you please give a <b>step by step procedure</b> to configure SSL, we might have missed out on something.
Also are there are <b>any other settings apart from SSL</b> to be done to make a https web service call using soap adapter from XI.

It would probably help if you could post what code you've got and explain which function(s) it's complaining about, as I doubt people will want to guess.

Special Character XML Web Service call from Flex

Hi,
Let me first give a little background.
I have to query and return data in XML format. To do so, I have created a custom DSC component. In cases where XML has special characters, LC throws error saying that XML is not properly formed. To over come this issue I used CDATA tag at DSC component. Now LC works as it should and I returns correct result.
I have a web service call from Flex to get this XML result. Every time i trigger this web service I get an error message saying </document> tag is missing.
I understand in Flex, web service returned data is wrapped in CDATA tag, thats what i causing all this issue.
I am not sure, how to handle this situation, I am sure this is a common problem and there should be ways to work around it.
I would really appreciate if any one could point me in the right direction.
Thank you ..

Web service call from a ReadWriteBackingMap

We are thinking of making a web service call from a ReadWriteBackingMap
<cachestore-scheme>
<class-scheme>
<class-name>
We will extend ReadWriteBackingMap class and override load() method to make a call to a web service.
This cache will be read only data and will hold relatively static data like list of c
ountries.
We expect to use Spring framework/JDK 1.5/WS security to make this web service call. We hope to
have the jar/config files available in server classpath when we start coherence servers.
1. Do you see any issues with this approach?
2. Any best practices?
3. Server resources(memory etc) will be shared between the server java process and this call to
web services, getting the xml, parsing the data etc. Any issues with that?

Hi,
I would recommend implementing the web-service callout logic in a custom cachestore/cacheloader (see the CacheLoader.load() method) and configure your rwbm with your cachestore implementation.
While subclassing RWBM and overriding functionality can be done, the CacheLoader interface is the intended method designed to accomplish this kind of task. RWBM internal implementations may perform other internal bookkeeping and may vary over time.

Web Services call from SOA to BI Publisher

Hi,
I have never worked on this web service call from SOA to BI Publisher funcationality and I am strugulling to understand on how this woks.
My requirement is that SOA will call BI Publisher on a parameter basis eg( some id) to a report and BI publisher should pick that id and execute the report and place the PDF file (file name is combination of id and date) into specific location in the FTP server and in return BI Publisher should send the response to SOA defining the file name and location of the FTP server.
Can anyone please help on this. This is a big sore on my head.
Thanks in advance.

Apk

Thanks for your replies.
Actually I am working on Forms 6i version , so does same solution works on Forms 6i as well.
Also this application is for address search, so user provides for some key like PostCode etc and then call the Webservice and it will give you list of options.
Now user will choose and confirm one address.
Do all this interaction possible using UTL_HTTP?
After going through link provided , I need to implemented in following steps:-
1) Using JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0 Create a SOAP_REQUEST.
2)Create a wrapper program who calls Web Service.
3) Call this Wrapper Program from our form and PL/SQL Package.
Please let me know if this sounds OK.
Thanks a Ton,

Architecture/design for high volume web service calls from on Demand

Hi,
We have hundreds of end users (less than 600 users) that will be initiating web service calls from On Demand that will deal with both querying (stateful transaction) and inserting/updating data (stateless). Currently, we see a limitation on the number of stateless sessions (33) that can initiate web service calls. We are afraid this will lead to poor performance with the number of sessions that are allocated for stateless sessions.
Can someone provide any design or framework information that can be implemented for high volume web service calls from On Demand? We anticipate 35K+ web service calls that will be initiated from On Demand per hour.
Thanks.

Web Service (SOAP) From Oracle Forms

From the exaples of calling web services (soap) from pl/sql, it seems very poor and troublesome. I've seen a few articles with good points about why not to do this from pl/sql. So, I was hoping someone in the forums could share their opinions and approaches to using web services from forms based applications. I would ideally like to hear reasons people chose not to use pl/sql.

There are some examples of calling web services from forms on the Forms OTN page - works fine although I would encourage the use of the new JVM pooling features as this will aid scalability and performance.

Web-service call from Apache to Glassfish

I have written static HTML pages which run on Apache server and I give a web-service call which is present on Glassfish server.
I want to calculate the number of rows present in the selected Excel file. For this, I make a web-service call through Ajax; where I send a file object to it, which then, reads the file and returns the number of rows present in that file.
But, I could not make an Ajax POST for a file object.
For Example, I have an HTML form containing a file object (for which I have to calculate the number of rows). I have to send this form to the web-service for processing the file.
My form is like this:
<form id="myForm" action="http://www.mydomain.com:8080/myApp/jersey/myClass/calculateRows" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" accept-charset="utf-8" name="submitForm">
        input id ="workbook" name="workbook" type="hidden"/>
</form>
For this I used:
    $("#myForm").ajaxSubmit(function(noOfRows)
       alert(noOfRows);
In the web-service, I gave:
    @Path('myClass')
    public class myClass
      @POST
      @Path("calculateRows")
      public Response calculateNoOfRows(@Context HttpServletRequest request)
        int noOfRows = 0;
        String wbk = request.getParameter("workbook");
        for (Part part : request.getParts())
             if (!part.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("workbook"))
                  //code to calculate number of rows
                  noOfRows = 100;   (for example)
        ResponseBuilder builder = null;
        builder = Response.ok(String.valueOf(noOfRows));
        builder.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
        builder.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods","POST");
        builder.header("Allow-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin,Connection,Keep-Alive,Accept-Encoding,Accept-Charset,Accept,User-Agent,Host,X-Requested-With");
        return builder.build();
In the Firebug, the above given URL does not appear in the Console tab.
And, in the Net tab, I see like this:
    OPTIONS http://www.mydomain.com:8080/myApp/jersey/myClass/calculateRows
I am not able to resolve the problem. Can anyone help?

Asynchronous web service call from Redwood

Hi Everyone,
Build version M33.104.
We have a scenario where we have to call an asynchronous web service.
From the documentation i understand that the Redwood job will be in status Running until the web service completes.
How does the call back work from the web service to Redwood? How does Redwood know the asynchronous web service job completed?
From the documentation, the per-requisite is:
callback to UpdateJob1 web service at ServerAddress with JobId and FinalStatus as Out parameters
Should i create two out parameters for the web service job definition in Redwood? one JobId and another FinalStatus?
How do i get the URL to UpdateJob1 web-service, so that i can make my web service, call it, to update the Redwood job that called it?
thanks
Nanda

Hi HP,
I included the following snippet in job source:
//Set completion strategy to external
jcsJobContext.setCompletionStrategy(CompletionStrategyType.External);
I get the following error when compiled:
JCS-102183: Compile failed for Job Definition SOAP_GlobalWeatherSoap_GetCitiesByCountry (Latest Version): SOAP_GlobalWeatherSoap_GetCitiesByCountry.java:user code 24:40:cannot find symbol symbol : variable CompletionStrategyType location: class com.redwood.scheduler.custom.SOAP_GlobalWeatherSoap_GetCitiesByCountry jcsJobContext.setCompletionStrategy(CompletionStrategyType.External);
I am not able to find any information from the API documentation on the method setCompletionStrategy, so I'm not able to figure what type of variable am i passing, so that i can initialize it. Please shed some light on it.
Also there is no path called Scripting > Built-In Web Services
I have only Scripting>Published Web Services
Thanks

Web Service call from VB Macros & web service for logging in

Hi All,
Is it possible to call a SAP web services from a Visual Basic macro?
1) If yes, how to do so?
2) Is there a standard web service through which we can login to an R/3 system?
3) Once we are logged in can we call other web services?
Thanks in advance!!
Regards,
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
ad 1) It is possible. In this Excel to SAP R/3 I posted some examples on how to call webservices from within Office 2003 applications.
The posts are very detailed, I just didn't create a blog since feedback to scripting languages blogs is so low that I didn't find it worth to carefully author a blog.
ad 2) Web service calls are stateless so you have to authenticate each time you call a service. Either by single sign on mechanisms or by simply hardcoding the credentials.
hope it helps,

Web service call from PDF

Hi All,
I need your help as i got an assignment where i suppose to call web service from PDF.
I do have Adobe live cycle server environment along with me.
I have created an sample orchestration in workbench where it does the some calculation and i use it as web service in PDF.
I have followed the below procedure to call web service in pdf using designer
1. Go to file
2. Click on the new data connection
3. then WSDL url
and complete the rest of procedure.
When i click on the invoke button web service get call it prompt me for username and password and pdf works fine
I dont want my web service to pop up any username and password when i click invoke button so i should embbed some certificates in pdf i guess.
How do i achieve it?
Guys do reply thanks in advance....

Few more question related to web service call
1. Is it free Adobe reader will not call a web service?
        Answer: If you are using Adobe Reader, you need to apply Usage Rights (through Reader Extensions) to invoke any web service.
2. If i am trying for third party web service which may be having username and password then how do i call web service from reader without prompting username and pwd?
     Answer: With a little tweak, you can do this if you know the username and password for the external web service.
Create a LC process and invoke the external web service from it. In the WebService activity, you can mention the required username and password.
Now, invoke the LC process through SOAP from your PDF. This option will work without prompting the user with Login dialog.
Please note that if you don't set appropriate permission to invoke the LC process, it will still show you up a dialog to authenticate in order to invoke the LC process.
3. Is there any javascript available to call web service which required credentials?
      Answer: Yes, you can write JavaScript to invoke the web service with the supplied credential in the code.
The API reference link is mentioned below.
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_r eference.pdf
Go through the SOAP methods; you will find a request object which encapsules the oAuthenticate parameter where you can mention the username and password.
4. How do i open wsdl file in live cycle workbench?
    Answer: You can open the WSDL through a WebService activity. Drag an Web Service activity into a process and click on configure button. The first textbox is the WSDL URL field. Enter the WSDL URL and click load. You will find the WSDl content in the large text area.

External web service call from WebDynpro for ABAP

Hi...
I'm inspecting Web Dynpro For ABAP, and trying to call external web services.
I'm created Web Service, CAF-AS.
I create the proxy class(se80) and Logical Port(lpconfig), and I take the web service in componentcontoroller of my web dynpro using Web Dynpro Wiserd.
Though I expected the context to be registered by the same type as the service interface,
they are created strange structure as follow.
<Context>
CONTEXT
---FIND_BY_PARAMS
IMPORTING
INPUT
CONTROLLER
ORDER_TEXT_BY_PARAMS_REQ
---EXPORTING
OUTPUT
CONTROLLER
ORDER_TEXT_BY_PARAMS_RES
The CONTOROLLER is defined by the type PRXCTRLTAB, and
ORDER_TEXT_BY_PARAMS_* has deep structure, as follow.
ORDER_TEXT_BY_PARAMS_REQ
---CONTROLLER type:PRXCTRLTAB(structure)
---QUERY_TABLE type:ZTABLE_NAME
---QUERY_FIELD type:ZFIELD_NAME
---QUERY_OPTIONS type:ZORDER_TEXT_QUERY_OPTION_TAB
I want to use only service paralmeters, that is named query_*.
I tried to excute the webService but dump "OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED" occurs.
I think I must set any value to CONTOROLLER,?but I have no idea What & How I should set value.
please let me know, what is the CONTOROLLER, and how to call external web services.
Regards,
Naoya Tsugo,

I solved problem by myself.
There was carelessmiss in activation of LP.
Now, I'm closing the topic.
Thanks and Regards.
