SAML assertion attributes and Web Services

Just want to clarify for myself something about SAML token within Web Services Security.
As I understand SAML attribute assertions cannot be used within Web Service business logic tier because all security header information are unavailable within Web Service implementation context. And the only one reason for sender to submit attributes along with SAML authentication assertion is to allow SecurityEnvironmentHandler more information about trusted identity. Is it right?

Hi finally I get it (thank you Gautam!!!),
public class CustomWlsPrincipal extends WLSAbstractPrincipal implements WLSUser {
        public CustomWlsPrincipal(String name) {
          super();
          // Feed the WLSAbstractPrincipal.name. Mandatory
          this.setName(name);
}So you need to invoke the parent class setName(String) method. If not you will get a NullPointerException.
Implementing the equals and hashCode is also convenient.
Hope it helps,
Luis

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Message Monitoring and Web services Sequences  .. SOAMANAGER

    When can I use Mesage Monitoring and Sequence Monitoring .

    2. The proxy and web services were implemented in the same Abap Machine .
    3. We execute the test and everything works very well and we consume the webservice and the program displays the expected result.
    Now want to know How can we use the Message Monitoring and the Sequence Monitoring . Is this posible ? Do we have to make any previous configuration?
    We don´t have any XI installation and for that we wonder if we can monitorize the  webservices  sequences ?
    Any idea about if we can realize such king of actions ..
    Many Thanks

    Hi
    I assumes u have dual stack.
    You can do the sequence monitoring with or without PI. But without PI you would achieve that thing on the local machine.
    You have to do those things at Java End using SAP NWA.

  • SSL certificates and Web Services Usage inside Oracle Database Questions!

    We have implemented a specific business logic using PL/SQL for our client, so we open a file and process each line of this, doing something in the Database and also call a Web Services (Service1) using UTL_HTTP package. Service1 runs in a Windows 2008 Server in the DMZ as Database server.
    Service1 is already working, and we can call the service from PL/SQL without troubles.
    However, according with security client's policies they requires all Web services be consumed via https including Service1, so we must to follow the procedure established for Oracle in order to enable the calling of service1 via https from the Database.
    Our client's DBA and IT Team are concerned about two subjects before to continue to follow the certificate installation:
         - SSL Certificates:
    1- Can installed certificates in the Database put in risk the stability of the database?
              2- Can installed certificates in the Database generate performance issues?
              3- Can installed certificates reloading the Databases?
              2- Can installed certificates in the Database generate security issues?
         - Web services:
    1- Can web services calling from the Database put in risk the stability of the database?
    2- Can web services calling from the Database generate performance issues?
    3- Can web services calling from the Database generate security issues in the DMZ?
    Could you please give us any clues, about the possible negative impact related with the SSL certificates and Web Services Usage inside Oracle Database, if it’s the case this impact exists?.
    Those are the links describing the procedure mentioned above.

    You are correct in that there should be no problem interacting with a Web service that has an HTTPS endpoint as long as you create a wallet and specify it when you make your UTL_HTTP calls, like the PayPal example.
    I am not aware of a PL/SQL utility to create a XMLDsig Standard message, but if you find some Java source out there that does it, you may be able to follow a technique I used for a similar use case:

    Hi navin,
    Thanks for the par file.

    So I uploaded your par file on my server.
    Then I added the api and core jar files which came along with your par in my project as external jar files.
    I imported com.wickes.WickesService.*;
    Next, to use the service I coded:
    IPortalRuntimeResources rs =
    PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources();

    hi,
    short answer: you can't. to my knowledge there is no such thing as message/sequence monitoring outside of PI/XI.
    the only thing you can do is to enable debugging and access some debugging info from ST22. other than that you do not have access to the original (XML) message, the HTTP headers or the ST(simple transformation) info or anything else.

  • J2EE and Web Services

    Hi forummates,
    In the traditional architecture, the communication between EJB is RMI/IIOP. Web Services can be looked as a communication between classes on SOAP/HTTP.
    How should we use Web Services in J2EE in the maximum effeciency? Is there any good example of using Web Services in J2EE (1.4 is a must?) ? Please advise.
    Lawrence.

    Hi Lawrence,
    I would look at the J2EE blueprints on web services to get started. You may also want to take a look at the J2EE tutorial and web services tutorial. Links below:
    http://java.sun.com/blueprints/guidelines/designing_webservices/

  • Struts and web services

    If you want to use Struts and web services, what approach do you take? If you want to use reliable messaging,
    you need to have a web service client as well as the web service being called.
    What is the recommended way to set this up?
    Do you call a local web service from the action class and then have that web service do all of the business logic including calling remote web services?
    I am just starting to look at this so I am probably not close but I would like some guidance on what, in general, is the correct approach.

    The jars you are referring to are not SAP BusinessObject specifics jars: struts and JiBX. There are open source java framework. For more information about the struts refer to:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Struts
    for more information about jibx refer to:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JiBX
    Normally the core jars for a SAP BusinessObjects webservice SDK are:
    The core jar files to use for Web Services Java SDK  applications are:
    dsws-bicatalog.jar
    dsws-biplatform.jar
    dsws-common.jar
    dsws-publish.jar
    dsws-queryservice.jar
    dsws-reportengine.jar
    dsws-saveservice.jar
    dsws-session.jar
    wilog.jar
    And the jars you have mentioned are part of the
    The dependent jar files to use for Web Services Java SDK  applications are:

    In any cases it is recommended not to have duplicated jars in your deployment and also check if the version of the jars to use is supported by the version of the JDK used.

  • 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

  • The Oracle Database Programming using Java and Web services book is out

    This book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1555583296 shows how to build pragmatic applications using the combination of PL/SQL, Java in the database, JDBC, SQLJ, JPublisher, and Web services. It is intented for database developers, DBA, data architects, Java developers and Web services assemblers.
    My blog http://db360.blogspot.com/ and the free/sample chapter http://www.oracle.com/technology/books/pdfs/mensah_ch1.pdf will give you a feel of the content.
    Enjoy, Kuassi

    Hi Kuassi,
    Thanks for letting us know that your book is available. I have been following one of your articles about "Virtualize Your Oracle Database with Web Services". More specifically "The Database as Web Services Consumer". I think that this is an area that has in the past been under estimated as to the potential benefits.
    I am currently trying to develop a solution that consumes several interfaces with a couple of them being published web services, so an ideal solution. I have then spent the last three weeks having to read up about the architecture of Java in the database, Jpublisher and make sense of how it all works together.
    I have got very close to getting one of the web services to work but failed due to using 10gR2 where all the java & libraries has moved to version 1.5. The solution is to load the jdk1.4.2 and configure jpublisher to use this. So far so good except this is not available on some platforms, Windows - 64 bit (not itanium).
    The configuration is proving very challenging but will hopefully reap rewards.
    (Thought I would give you some background to my experience).
    Anyway my question to you is having looked at Jdeveloper it appears to do almost anything except consume services into the database, also with Java now being at version 1.5 outside the database for 10gR2 and supporting 1.4 inside, do you see some alignment of these in future database releases?
    Finally off to buy your book now as no doubt there is a huge amount more to learn.
    Kind Regards

  • 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.
