A good tutorial on APEX and/or PL/SQL Web Services

Hello
I am trying to implement a web services where I will be uploading some files to a remote server.
I will be using APEX 3.2 to implement UI and PL/SQL for 11g
However, there is one thing I have to admit I have not been able find this kind of tutorial.
Knowledge of how to make a connection to remote web service only using PL/SQL, the files and rest I can suffer and get from pain..
I have seen and read many tutorials how to make a web service from APEX.
However, I would like to know if there some specific PL/SQL packages, functions, procedures and others to do this
I would be more than happy if some can point me the direction and I will do the rest.
Browsing different forums and google I have not been able to find this.
I am 100% sure millions of people have done this. I have not only been able to find something about this...
probably limit in knowledge and using goooogle....
thnx
pl/sql new

Here is a link to a tutorial on exposing a PL/SQL function as a web service: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/10131/wsfromplsqlpackage/devwsfrom%20plsql.htm
I don't believe there is any way to expose PL/SQL as a web service using only PL/SQL. This tutorial covers wrapping PL/SQL in java running on OC4J. I haven't tried it myself so I can't give you much more direction than that, but for what it's worth, it looks fairly straightforward.
Hope this helps,
John

Any existing BAPI that can be wrapped and exposed as a web service ???

Hi ,
I am designing PI Collaboration Platform and that all about Monitoring across SAP ECC, SAP PI and Non-SAP applications.
BUSINESS CASE: Some clients are looking for a solution that allows there management some visibility into the end-to-end aspect of processes, we will limit our discussion to SAP ECC and PI.
SOLUTION: BAM ultimately helps solve this problem at an enterprise level - however that is a heavy investment for most organizations - is there an alternative that we can provide ? Example a generic web service that can be invoked from a 3rd party tool to provide reports.
We do have solution :
We can configure Proxy adapter and can write Java web service to invoke a method to extract the data from ECC and one or more report generating methods based on the standard ( like PDF,EXCEL etc)
but we are still looking for an existing BAPI that can be wrapped and exposed as a web service ????
Need solution for the above ?

Hi Sanjay,
Yes BAM has a bigger take, if you are looking for PI monitoring reports then please have a look at the following blogs which might
give you some insight.this basically deal with reading data from SXMB_MONI tables.

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/PIMonitoringFunctionality-FetchingDatafromSXMB_MONIStandardTables-PartI
i dont think there is any BAPI as such atleast wrt to PI.

What do I do to close eform on screen and display response of web service in another screen.?

Hi,
I am trying to build following functionality.
I want to submit form to a web service through SOAP request on click of a button.
I want to display response of web service like “form has been submitted successfully” on screen.
What has been achieved.
I am able to submit form to an adobe web service passing base64 string to adobe process.(see the script in image#1).
When I receive base64 string in adobe process, I am able to re-generate document (using getDocFromBase64(/process_data/@inputStr) ).
After that I am returning a message string to as response “Form submitted successfully”.
When I get the response I populate response to a text field variable (Out Str). See image#2
Problem/Desirable functionality.
I want to close this eform and display the message “form has been submitted successfully” on another page in browser so that it depicts to end user that form has been submitted successfully with confirmation.
What do I do to close eform on screen and display response of web service in another screen.?
Image#1
Image#2

Method1: This method only works in same PDF window.
On the click of the submit button, based on the webservice result we can close the PDF. As you already having in the "Out Str", this variable having detailed message kind of thing, so it would be easier if you have one more output variable to know if this submission is success or failure or can use the "Out Str", it self to compare and close the PDF.
Here i am using "strResult" to hold webservice success or failure using true/ false values.
Get the "strResult" value from binded field of webservice response and compare and close or display messages based on requirement.
var strResult = YourFieldname.rawValue;
                    if(strResult != "" && strResult != null){
                              if(strResult.toUpperCase() == "TRUE"){
                                        xfa.host.messageBox("Successfully Saved the Data.", "Submit Confirmation", 3,0);
                                        //Close the PDF
                                        app.execMenuItem("Close");
                    else{
                              xfa.host.messageBox("Failed to Save the Data.", "Submit Confirmation", 3,0);
If the result need to show in separate window and having LiveCycle process connected to PDF via. webservice or REST:
Method2. If the PDF inside the browser
Type1 - You can set the process output is document variable, this PDF may contain your static/dynamic message and this PDF. But with this method result PDF opens in same window, host pdf will be disappeared.
Type2 - You can set the process output is string variable, this STRING may contain your static/dynamic message. In this method the string will be appered in the same PDF window, host pdf will be disappeared.
Method3. If the PDF is stand alone (not opend in any browser)
Type1 - You can set the process output is document variable, this PDF may contain your static/dynamic message and this PDF. But with this method result PDF opens in new window, host pdf will be also stayed and may make readonly after submission success.
Type2 - If the process output is string, it cannot handle this situation, may get the content type exception while receiving the result string, because.
Used all of the above methods in various situations and it worked without any issues.

XI 3.0 and external Java client/web service

Hello,
I'm desperately tryin' to get an external system to work together with XI 3.0.
The setup is quite simple:
The external system is nothing but a simple Java program sending SOAP-based requests to a webservice. It is based on AXIS and is running satisfyingly when connecting directly to an appropriate Tomcat/AXIS-based web service, see the following communication.
-- local request

Now I have designed and configured simple business scenarios with XI 3.0 (synchronous as well as asynchronous). The only response I get from XI when the Java client connects ist the following:

I made sure the business service in the integration directory is named SOAPRequest and is using SOAP as the communication channel. As the adapter engine I chose the integration server, since it is the only option, although the SOAP adapter framework is installed (according to the SLD) and deactivated any options like header and attachment.
Upon facing the above response I also tried any kind of derivative with inserting the described tag/attribute/element versionMajor, but to no avail.
My questions are:
What do I have to do additionally to get the whole thing running, i.e. configure my external systems in the SLD, providing proxy settings?
Do I have to create web services within the Web AS (which provide some kind of facade to the XI engine using the proxy generation) and connect to these instead of directly addressing the integration engine (I'm using the URL http://<host>:<port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry, but I also tried http://<host>:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:SOAPRequest:SOAPIn, this led to a 404 not found error)?
What settings do I have to provide to see the messages the client is sending, when looking into the runtime workbench it seems as if there are no messages at all - at least from my client?
Hopefully somebody might help me out or least provide some information to get me going.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Oliver,
all information I gathered so far derives from the online help for XI 3.0, to be found under http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm. There You'll find - in the last quarter of the navigation bar on the left side - sections describing the adapter engine alonside the SOAP adapter.
Additionally I went through almost all postings in this forum.
This alonside the mandatory trial-and-error approach (I did a lot of it up to date) led me to my current status, i.e. so far I haven't found any kind of (simple) tutorial or demo saying "If You want to establish a web service based connection via SOAP between external applications and XI first do this, then that ...", sadly enough :-(.
Hope that helps, any questions are always welcome, I'll try my best to answer them ;-).
Best regards,
Tomaz

Parameters and database login with Web Services SDK

I need to know how to do the two most common report tasks through the Web Services interface to Crystal Reports Server 2008:
How do I get a list of a report's parameters and set the parameter's values?
How do I set the database login information?
I have considerable experience with writing custom web interfaces for Business Objects Enterprise with .NET, but now we're supposed to use web services instead of Enterprise services, especially when writing Windows forms apps. The official line is that writing thick client apps using Enterprise services is "possible but not supported." I can't seem to find the equivalent to the .Parameters property in Web Services.
The tutorials for Web Services aren't much help. The BIPlatform examples show how to schedule a report without parameters and without setting the database login, but this isn't much help in the real world. The ReportEngine tutorial was apparently written by someone else, and is little or no help.
This seems like such a simple question, but I have wasted an entire day and am no closer to the answer.

I think the following resources will help:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/GettingStartedwiththeWebServicesSDK
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/xir2PP/en/qaaws.pdf

Security of Web Services, Agents and Sequantial Calling of Web Services

I want to ask about the secure invocation of web services and the role of agents.
Suppose that I have greet() web service:
public String greet() {
String S1=sayHello(); // A web service, actually its proxy
String S2=sayGoodMorning(); // A web service, actually its proxy
return S1+" "+S2;
It calls two other webservices and they return "HELLO" and "Good Morning". Also assume that I need to secure all my web services but I need these calls to work!
I put an agent in front of those two web services and require them to check a SAML token. I also attach an agent to greet() to authenticate the inbound and sign and add SAML token for outbound.
But I think these two calls fail because the SAML is not created on each call. (Is it?)
How can I make those two calls, secure each web service and at the same time keep the security code out of business code, in other words keep my web service security agnostic?
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards
Farbod

Hi,
Here is a global tutorial about Web Services :
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7350
There are exemples at the end of the document : webservicesdemo.zip
Please check the instruction for using web services given in the Readme.doc, it could be the source of your problem.
Also, mind that you need the same language for you labVIEW version than the one used to create the Web service VIs.

JWSDP 1.5 client and WSE 2.0 Web Service

Hello all
This post is mostly about .Net and WSE 2.0 but here goes:
I�m securing a web service using WSE 2.0. One of the potential client�s of the web service is a Java client using Sun JWSDP 1.5. The problem is that the java client gets the error �Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction:�, and when I look at the trace the error is:
WSE841: An error occured processing an outgoing fault response. ---> System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHeaderException: Header http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing:Action for ultimate recipient is required but not present in the message.
The soap the java client is sending has no Action header and I�m told it can not be changed. Therefore I have been trying to tell my service that actionheader is not required but without success.
This is a actionheader the webservice accepts:
<wsa:Action wsu:Id="Id-29db7046-313a-4675-9bf8-6446b9463aeb">http://tempuri.org/send</wsa:Action>
What I have tried is to change the policy file
This is the default:

<wsp:MessagePredicate wsp:Usage="wsp:Required" Dialect="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/2002/12/wsse#part">wsp:Body() wsp:Header(wsa:To) wsp:Header(wsa:Action) wsp:Header(wsa:MessageID) wse:Timestamp()</wsp:MessagePredicate>
Here I tried to tell the service that only body and timestamp was required
<wsp:MessagePredicate wsp:Usage="wsp:Required" Dialect="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/2002/12/wsse#part">wsp:Body() wse:Timestamp()</wsp:MessagePredicate>
I have also tried to tell the web service everything was optional:
<wsp:MessagePredicate wsp:Usage="wsp:Optional" Dialect="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/2002/12/wsse#part">wsp:Body() wsp:Header(wsa:To) wsp:Header(wsa:Action) wsp:Header(wsa:MessageID) wse:Timestamp()</wsp:MessagePredicate>
I have also tried to skip the policy file and check on the the bodyparts in code but the error occurs before the webmethod is even invoked.
It is my understanding that WS-specifications are optional and that the way to define which ones I want to use is via a policy file. Is that the correct understanding? I find it difficult to find good documentation on how to use different WS-specifications with WSE 2.0 enabled web service. Does anyone know of good documentation on WS-security using X509 certificates for signing?
Does anyone have solution to this problem or ideas that might lead to solution?
P.s. I have looked at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/wssinteropjwsdp15.asp but I need an example where a java client is talking to a .Net WS. It would be very helpful

Hi,
firstly JWSDP 1.5 is pretty old, the latest release of JWSDP is JWSDP 2.0 that happened late last year.
The problem is most likely happening due to a bug in JWSDP 1.5. If you dump the Message that is going over the wire you will probably see
SOAPAction : ""
SOAPAction : "<the correct action value>"
And this is the reason for the failure. I believe you are using SOAP 1.1 messages right ?
What you will need to do is upgrade to
JWSDP 2.0 and more important also upgrade your SAAJ jars in the JWSDP installation to SAAJ 1.3
https://saaj.dev.java.net/files/documents/52/32730/saaj1.3.zip
Alternatively, you can use Sun's Project Tango (Sun's Next Generation WebServices Interoperability Technology Offering) which has been tested to interoperate with Microsoft WCF.
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/glassfish/ProjectTango/
You can download Project Tango by visiting the following page :
https://wsit.dev.java.net/
Look at the Try It section for instructions on how to use it.
Using the Netbeans Plugin you can develop a java client which can securely communicate with the .Net WebService. All you need to do for that is use Netbeans to create a Java WebService Client by pointing it to the WSDL of the .Net Service.
Let us know if this helped.
Thanks...

Pl/Sql web service and collections not working

Hello
I'm trying to create a web service from a function in a package which returns a collection. The creation of the web service and its deployment seem to work correctly. I do get the following warning :
WARNING: OWS-00077 The Value Type class: pxWsLang.PamLanguagerecordBase does not have a valid JAVA Bean pattern
but I don't think this is the source of the problem.
When I try to test the web service using the endpoint in the wsdl I get the following answer in the browser:

end;
end;
I'm using JDeveloper version 10.1.3.1.0.3984
How can I get this to work ? (without using Apache Axis or other tools :-)
Is it supposed to work ?
Many Thanks

Creating And Deploying A JWSDP Web Service Client to Weblogic 8.1

This setup produces an EAR containing a message driven bean in a jar file. When the MDB receives a message
it checks to see if there is any data in a database table and if so calls the web service with that data. These instructions
are for MS-Windows environments.
In my setup I have:
the weblogic domain at c:\b2b80
the jwsdp at c:\apps\jwsdp-1.3
extra jar files for the app server in c:\b2b80\lib
the main weblogic installation at c:\apps\weblogic810\
1> Download the the JWSDP version you wish to use and install it. (In this example I'm using 1.3)
2> Create a project structure for you client like this:
     /project
          /earbuild
               /META-INF
          /ejbbuild
               /META-INF
          /ejbsource
          /wssource
3> in the /project directory you will need a build.xml file that looks something like this: (the ant build targets are described at the end of this document)

6> The /project/ejbsource directory contains the source for the client application. In my case this is a message driven bean (note that code below isn't complete). The most important part of the code below is the setting of the javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory system property.
System.getProperties().put("javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory","com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.soap.ver1_1.SOAPMessageFactory1_1Impl");
If you don't do this a weblogic class will be used and the code will fail.

==============================================================
11> The /project/wssource directory needs a create.bat file. This just sets up the environment

12> The /project directory needs a build.bat file. Just a way for me to make sure my

13> You need to copy the following jar files from the JWSDP into a location they can be used by the
app server during run time and also for the build process. In my set up this is c:\b2b80\lib. Note that
these are pointed to by the file in step 4.
c:\apps\jwsdp-1.3\jaxrpc\lib\jaxrpc-api.jar
c:\apps\jwsdp-1.3\jaxrpc\lib\jaxrpc-impl.jar
c:\apps\jwsdp-1.3\jaxrpc\lib\jaxrpc-spi.jar
c:\apps\jwsdp-1.3\saaj\lib\saaj-api.jar
c:\apps\jwsdp-1.3\saaj\lib\saaj-impl.jar
14> You must make sure that the jar file in step 13 are at the front of the classpath for the
weblogic server. WL comes with classes that conflict with these jars.
15> I also had to add the root ssl certificate from the partners certificate authority to the java keystore
using the keytool because this service uses SSL:
C:\apps\weblogic810\jrockit81sp2_141_05\jre\bin>keytool -import -keystore ..\lib\security\cacerts -alias svcownerroot -keypass password -file c:\temp\svcownerroot.cer
==============================================================
So the idea is this, you run the /project/build.bat file from within the /project directory. This
calls ant which uses the build.xml file to create everything and copy the EAR to the weblogic deployment
directory. The default ant target is buildall.
The cmdline_wscompile target runs the /project/wssource/create.bat file which in turn runs the wscompile.bat
file from the jwsdp. This causes the dataexchange.wsdl file to processed and the client files to be generated.
The generated java files go into the /project/wssource directory. The generated class files go into the
/project/ejbbuild directory. They need to be there so the MDB can use them.
Next the compileejb ant target compiles the MDB java file and places the resulting class file into the
/project/ejbbuild directory.
Next the buildejbjar ant target takes everything in the /project/ejbbuild directory and creates the ejb jar
file that will be included in the EAR. This file is placed in the /project/earbuild directory.
Finally the buildear ant target takes everything in the /project/ejbbuild directory and produces the EAR
file for deployment. The EAR file is placed in the /project directory.
The deploy task simply copies the EAR file into the weblogic domain applications directory.

It's really the web service that determines what kind of authentication is required. You can't just use any old strategy. If the web service isn't expecting it in that form, it won't work. Typically, either HTTP BASIC Auth or WS-Security is used. You'd have to contact the people responsible for the web service to know what kind of auth it requires.

Add and remove fields from web service desk

I want to customize the screen for the web service desk. I would like to remove the fields for processor as well as the field for category. I would like to replace those fields with Geographical Location and Telephone number. How can i do this?

Hi,
In REST we cannot pass arrays like this:
String catRefIds[] = new String[1];
catRefIds[0] = "12345";
map.put("catalogRefIds", catRefIds);
This will never work.
Had done a similar implementation. The thing I did was, I wrote a logic that accepts comma separated catalogRefIds and converts it to individual catalogRefId and populate the list.

Change the 'ContextUri' and ServiceUri for a web service with workshop

Hi all,
I've created a web service and its url is set by default by workshop, let's say http://myServer:7001/app/services/myWebService.jws
Is there a way in workshop to modify the url, so that I can call my web service this way :
http://myServer:7001/myCompany/myWebService
Thanks.

Hi Miriam,
As far as I know, this does not exist.
However, if you want to capture user input in a webbased (RIA) application, AJAX may be useful for triggering a process based on user navigation of input from keyboard or mouse.
BTW: in the BPEL4People initiative there is mention of BPEL processes for supporting navigation, i.e. wizard-style user interfaces, which would typically require 'timely' responses.
