Pass json result of rest webservice into page items

Hello,
I have created a webservice reference, and a from with report on that webservice. I fill in a zipcode and click submit and the results will put in a collection.
The response is a json object and is stored in the CLOB001 column of the collection. Example. : {"success":true,"resource":{"street":"Amsterdamseweg","postcode":"1181BP","town":"Amstelveen","municipality":"Amstelveen","province":"Noord-Holland","latitude":52.3163363636,"longitude":4.856420303}}.
But I want that if you fill in a zipcode that only the values of street and town from the json object will passed in two seperated page items. What is the best way to achieve this?

How to fetch the tabular form column value into page items

Hi,
I have created tabular form. I have set LOV for one column. Here my requirement is when i select the value from lov then it will fetch that value into page item.
can any help?
I am using apex 4.1
Thanks
vijay

It's not so easy to make a dynamic action on a tabular form.
The best thing you can do is to use the javascript API from APEX: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/javascript_api.htm
So if you have a tabular form then open your item and make it a column link.
In the link location select URL.
Your URL would be something like this
javascript:$s('P1_PAGE_ITEM', #COLUMN_ID#);doSubmit('COLUMN_ID');The doSubmit is not required but if you don't submit your page then the server would never know about your page item.
Off course it is possible to submit at a later point. For example you can just use the $s to set the value off an item and afterwards create a button that would submit your page.
Be aware that if you just set the value off your page item and just link to an other page without submitting or without branching that other page would never know about your page item.
If you want the server to know the value off a page item you need to submit it's value to the server. The easiest way is just to do the doSubmit() call after you have set your value.
Hope this helps,
Regards

Pass value through URL without setting local page item

Folks,
I have a table where I have created a dummy column with a hyperlink on it to go to another page in the application which runs a report passing through columns on the table
As I am doing this several times (for different pages in my application) - Is there a way of passing a variable through a URL to a report without setting a local variable
i.e.
Click Here
Here I am assigning a local variable on Page 25 which is hidden called P25_TEST1
What I would like to do is pass the value straight to page 25 (which runs the report) without the need to create hidden items on the report pages all the while
Thanks
Gareth

You have a plain HTML page that loads with a url with something like ?field=value
And you want "value" to show on your page, correct?
<html>
<body>
<script>
var qsParm = new Array();
function qs() {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var parms = query.split('&');
for (var i=0; i<parms.length; i++) {
   var pos = parms<i>.indexOf('=');
   if (pos > 0) {
      var key = parms<i>.substring(0,pos);
      var val = parms<i>.substring(pos+1);
      qsParm[key] = val;
qsParm['field'] = null;
qs();
if (qsParm['field'])
     document.write('You selected ' + qsParm['field'] );
</script>
</body>
</html>
Call that as test.html?field=Hello
Here's a nice link that explains it in detail: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20020107.asp

Fetching clob into page item

I have a form on a table containing a CLOB column. The form renders it using a "HTML Editor" item type. On another page, this is fetched into a "Display as Text" item using select clob_col into :P1_ITEM from t where ... When this is run, I get the 'character/string buffer too small' when dbms_log.getlength(clob_col) > 4000. I guess this is because the SQL engine cannot handle strings larger than 4000. I thought Apex would bind CLOB columns for select...into but looks like it binds a varchar2 and hence the 4000 limit.
What is the best way to handle this? Thanks

Hello Vikas,
Please check the following, as it might be helpful

Capture External HTTP POST Into APEX Page Item

We have an APEX page that needs to capture into page items two form fields posted from an external application: PARAM1 and PARAM2.
Unfortunately the external application cannot be changed and we tried to add the two posted fields as APEX page items with the same name, yet we get back an exception:
f: SIGNATURE (parameter names) MISMATCH
VARIABLES IN FORM NOT IN PROCEDURE: PARAM1,PARAM2
NON-DEFAULT VARIABLES IN PROCEDURE NOT IN FORM:
Any ideas on how this can be done?
Thank you.

You could do this with an intermediate non Apex page (.html for example) that receives the params and the calls apex.
Or even better with a procedure that gets called by the external post:
procedure myForm (param1 in varchar2, param2 in varchar2)
is
begin
f(p=>'app:1:0::::P1_PARAM1,P1_PARAM2:' || param1 || ',' || param2);
end;
Then you grant execute on myForm to apex_public_user
change app to your app number or alias and use the right page or item name. But you'll want the parameters to match the names posted.
hope this helps
The new myForm procedure can be called with the same path as the f procedure in APEX. So if you're APEX URL is something like:
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=...
Then you can use:
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/myForm
And with parameters:
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/myForm?param1=value1&param2=value2
Thanks

Listing (for further action) all page items that have a certain script label

hello from France,
Well the question is essentially in the subject line: how to find and work on all page items of a document (or a page/spread) that have the same script label (or better: whose script label contain the same word)?
I tried some variations around something like that, with no results:
set list_pageitems to every page item of page i whose label is "product"
Any clues?
Thanks for your help
Vincent

I found the answer (for those who might be interested), but still have a question (for those who know).
The solution:
set list_pageitems to page item "product" of page i
If you want to do it for a whose document (in may case, deleting some page items):
delete page item "product" of document 1
Strange syntax but it works :-)
The remaining question:
How to find page items whose label contains a certain string: it would be like selecting page items by tags (every word of the script label would be considered as a tag)?
Thanks

Disable all page items except one

Hi All,
Can any one please help me with the code. I have created a page with report from a table which has 5 values. If any user want to edit a row, he can do that by clicking the edit icon next to the row then the page redirected to another page with has a tabular form i created where there are 5 page items with values. I want to disable all the page items and enable only one item.the user can modify only one item which enabled, rest of the page items must be disabled. How can i do that. I have to use java script or is there any provision in apex itself?please help me....
Thanks In Advance
Meena
Edited by: 793914 on Oct 19, 2010 2:05 PM

Meena,
My apologies. 3.2 also allows you to set the Page Item to Display Only. I don't know why I was thinking that was new to 4.0!
By disabled, I assume you just want the current value to display, which would be null for a new record? It's not that you want to hide the disabled values, right?

Brief explaination of REST,Webservices,CSON and JSON

brief explaination of REST,Webservices,CSON and JSON

http://www.simplecodestuffs.com/what-is-the-difference-between-http-and-rest-and-soap-in-web-services/
SOAP uses WSDL for communication between consumer and provider, whereas REST just uses XML or JSON to send and receive data
WSDL Defines contract between client and service and is static by its nature. In case of REST contract is somewhat complicated and is defined by HTTP, URI, Media Formats and Application Specific Coordination
Protocol. It’s highly dynamic unlike WSDL.
SOAP doesn’t return human readable result, while REST result is readable with is just plain XML or JSON
This is not true. Plain XML or JSON are not RESTful at all. None of them define any controls(i.e. links and link relations, method information, encoding information etc…) which is against REST as far as messages must be self contained and coordinate interaction
between agent/client and service.
With links + semantic link relations clients should be able to determine what is next interaction step and follow these links and continue communication with service.
It is not necessary that messages be human readable, it’s possible to use cryptic format and build perfectly valid REST applications. It doesn’t matter whether message is human readable or not.
Thus, plain XML(application/xml) or JSON(application/json) are not sufficient formats for building REST applications. It’s always reasonable to use subset of these generic media types which have strong semantic meaning and offer enough control information(links
etc…) to coordinate interactions between client and server.
REST is over only HTTP. HTTP is most widely used and when we talk about REST web services we just assume HTTP. HTTP defines interface with it’s methods(GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH etc) and various headers
which can be used uniformly for interacting with resources. This uniformity can be achieved with other protocols as well.
REST permits many different data formats where as SOAP only permits XML.
While this may seem like it adds complexity to REST because you need to handle multiple formats, in my experience it has actually been quite beneficial. JSON usually is a better fit for data and parses much faster. REST allows better support for browser clients
due to it’€™s support for JSON.

Try just Opening the Word .doc from within Pages and see if that gets closer to what you want, then copy the chapter you want from the Pages version.

Pass Parameter Through REST API into PivotChart in Excel Services 2013

Is it possible to pass a parameter through the REST API into the filter of a PivotChart and return a filtered view of the chart? I've figured it out mechanically, and can pass the parameter in - but the chart doesn't refresh with the new filter.
For the record, I've looked at all of the online documentation on passing parameters and you'll note those all depict passing parameters into a table - not a PivotTable.
Curious if Excel Services 2013 has made any progress in that regard.
Thanks in advance...

How to pass JSON object for a PUT operation of restful

Hi,
I am trying to proxy restful call through an OSB proxy and I would like to know how I can pass json object via OSB proxy to an external rest service for a PUT operation? I am using Oracle 11g.
I have created a business service, that point to the external rest service and created a proxy service that route to the business service. I thought it automatically takes the JSON, which is the data need to be send to the rest service, but didn't work, I get 405 error in the osb access log. is that how it works, or there is something else I need to do? if so, can you please help and tell me how?
appreciate any kind of help.
thanks
Marwa.

Hi Anju,
Most of the example I see is dealing with data being pass either as query-string or html form. We are passing JSON object from the UI and rest services are configured to take JSON. therefore, in the PUT and POST data are passed either as an attachment or part of the request object. Do you know or have an example how to do it? I don't need to any kind of transformation of data because I need JSON on both end and I am trying to use the OSB proxy in between my UI and rest services to take advantage of monitoring capability of the OSB.
appreciate any help, my deadline is getting close and I kind stuck.
Thanks
M.

How to import the JSON data that comes from REST API into Excel 2013?

HI,
Is there a way to import the JSON data that REST API returns into Excel 2013? If so how?
Could you please let me know this?
If you need to know any more info please let me know.
Thanks,
Vinay

I got this. We need to use power query add in for this.
EXCEL 2013 -> POWER QUERY -> From Web
Enter the URL for the REST end point and click ok. Power Query editor will show up with the URL and list of your data.
click on the list -> Right click->drill down
You will see the no of records the API returned.
Right Click on List in that table -> To Table and say ok in the next dialog.
On the displayed columns, there will be a double sided arrow, click on that and select the rows you want to import.
There you go. You will all the data.
Click on Apply and close. This will import the data into your excel file.

Restful Webservice and German Umlaut

Hello,
i'm trying to setup a restful webservice using Apex 4.2 and Apex Listener 2, but i have problems regarding german unlaute in the json response.
To see if its a configuration error on my side, i did setup an exmaple on apex.oracle.com and there i get the same results.
I added a now row to the table emp, with just the ename as 'öäü'.
Please see the example at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/dwtest/getEmp/
The result looks like this:
{"next":{"$ref":"http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/dwtest/getEmp/?page=1"},"items":[{"ename":"Ã¶Ã¤Ã¼"}]}It should look like this:
{"next":{"$ref":"http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/dwtest/getEmp/?page=1"},"items":[{"ename":"öäü"}]}The interesting fact is that i sometimes get the desired output, but its net reproducible to me. As browser i tested Firefox, Chrome, IE9 and Opera.
I wonder if i configured something wrong in my browsers or in apex.
If you would like to take a look at the webservide use these credentials:
Workspace: dwtest
Username: testuser
Password: forum
Thanks for help in advance.

How to set username and password before redirecting to a RESTful webservice

I am a .Net developer who has developed a webservice used by my ColdFusion colleagues. They are using ColdFusion 9 but I'm not sure if they have incorporated any of the newer features of ColdFusion in their apps. Here is a snippet of how they have been invoking the webmethods:
<cfscript>
                     ws = CreateObject("webservice", "#qTrim.webServiceName#");
                     ws.setUsername("#qTrim.trimAcct#");
                     ws.setPassword("#qTrim.trimpwd#");
                     wsString=ws.UploadFileCF("#qTrim.webserviceurl#","#objBinaryData#", "#qFiles.Filename#", "Document", "#MetaData#");
            </cfscript>
As I understand things, the .setUsername and .setPassword correspond to the Windows credentials the CF Admin set when the URL of the .Net webservice was "registered" and given its "name" (for the CreateObject statement above). I have 4 webmethods that are all invoked in this manner and this SOAP protocol works adequately for us. Please note that this ColdFusion web app authenticates anonymous remote internet users by prompting for a username and password and compares them to an application database (i.e. Microsoft calls this "forms authentication"). Because only a few Windows domain accounts are authorized to call this .Net webservice, the above code always uses the same username/password constants and it all works.
My question involves the newest webmethod added to the .Net webservice. It requires that callers must invoke it as a RESTful service which means it must be invoked by its URL. Here is a snippet of C# code that invokes it from an ASP.NET webclient:
            string r = txtRecordNumber.Text;
            string baseurl = "http://localhost/sdkTrimFileServiceASMX/FileService.asmx/DownloadFileCF?";
            StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder(baseurl);
            url.Append("trimURL="); url.Append(txtFakeURLParm.Text);
            url.Append("&");
            url.Append("TrimRecordNumber="); url.Append(txtRecordNumber.Text);
            Response.Redirect(url.ToString());
I assume a ColdFusion script could easily build a full URL as above with appended querystring parameters and redirect. Is there some way for the CF code redirecting to a RESTful webservice (by way of its URL) to set the Username and Password to this Windows account mentioned above? When the DownloadFileCF webmethod is hit it must be with the credentials of this special Windows domain account. Can that be set by ColdFusion someway to mimic the result of the SOAP technique (the first snippet above).
I hope my question is clear and someone can help me make suggestions to my ColdFusion colleagues. Thanks.

Can you clarify what you mean by "establish a different Windows identity"? Usually passing identity to a web site or service means adding something to the request's HTTP headers. This could be a cookie in the case of .NET forms authentication or the "Authorization" header in the case of basic authentication.
The SOAP web service invocation code you posted does use basic authentication, according to the CF docs "ColdFusion inserts the user name/password string in the authorization request header as a base64 binary encoded string, with a colon separating the user name and password. This method of passing the user name/password is compatible with the HTTP basic authentication mechanism used by web servers."
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec13a13 -7fe0.html
If you need to mimic the SOAP techinque you should have basic authentication enabled for your REST service endpoints.
If your authentication method is different then CF developers will need to add the appropriate HTTP headers to their service calls. Note that calling a REST service from CF would probably be accomplished using the CFHTTP tag if the service is designed to be consumed by the CF server.

Restful webservice Internal Server Error PUT POST DELETE

Hi ,
When I make a RESTful webservice on the Oracle Cloud with a PUT,POST or DELETE method, the test results is always the same error: "500 - Internal Server Error".
The GET method causes no problems and gives me the value in JSON format.
Can anyone help me because I can't find an Oracle example with one of these methods?

Java Cloud Service does support RESTful WebServices based on JAX-RS 1.1 specification & Jersey 1.9 implementation.
Please follow the documentation for http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/e13734/rest.htm#CHDCGFCH (Section Using the Jersey JAX-RS Reference Implementation)
The required Jersey 1.9 shared library is pre-deployed in all the Java Cloud Service instances , you only need to add the reference of this shared lib in your weblogic.xml.
The following example shows how to update the weblogic.xml file to use the Jersey JAX-RS RI Version 1.9.
<library-ref>
<library-name>jax-rs</library-name>
<specification-version>1.1</specification-version>
<implementation-version>1.9</implementation-version>
