About HTTPS and SOAP

Hi,
I have the following situation:
I developed a SOAP Server using Tomcat by 8080 port and I have two SOAP Clients, the first one is over Apache, PHP in Window OS and using HTTP (this client is connected with the SOAP Server perfectly ) and the other client is over Apache, PHP in Linux OS and using HTTPS (this client can't connect with the SOAP Server).
The only difference between them are HTTP and HTTPS.
Could someone help me?
Thanks,

Test HTTP and SOAP adapters

Hi
I am working on SAP XI 7.1. I don't use SOAP and HTTP Adapters in this project. Is it possible for me to try some scenarios using both these adapters in the dev and later on remove it?
How can I create a scenario using these two adapters? How do I get the webservices for that?
Regards

Abhishek,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I shall search but I have some doubts.
I can't download any software on my m/c without approval from my PL. So does this require downloading some tools to my machine to test this scenario. Can these be done the way we do a File adapter, without any external application on my desktop. The work environment doesn't exactly allow me to download applications. That's a big hurdle

Http vs soap

hi,
i think, in webservices development we are using two protocals like https/http and soap .
can u pls tell me wht http/https will do?
can u pls tell me wht soap will do?
in http we have header , body etc....... where as soap how it will work with them.
i am getting confusion that <i><b>how soap will work with http ?</b></i>
regards
Guru

hello guru,
HTTP is just the application layer protocol used by the SOAP. SMTP is the other
one however HTTP gained the most popularity. SOAP enables you to exchange
messages in XML and is defined by the SOAP schema. the HTTP body is where
the SOAP message (Envelope) is being contained. the HTTP header defines the
HTTP specific header values just like content-type which for SOAP case is xml.
>i am getting confusion that how soap will work with http ?
just think of SOAP as the grammar of the message being exchanged and HTTP
or SMTP as the medium or channel.
hope this helps.

Logging HTTP and/or SOAP packets in standalong OC4J v10.1.3.2

I'm running OC4J standalone v10.1.3.2 on RH5 linux. I'd like to know how to turn on logging so that all incoming HTTP data can be viewed.
I've basically got a Web Service which is failing to execute from some clients (but not all) due to a SOAP11 version mismatch problem. If I could see the incoming HTTP and/or SOAP request then I could determine where the inconsistency is coming from.
Here's an extract of the returned SOAP error:
<faultcode>env:VersionMismatch</faultcode>
<faultstring>Version Mismatch</faultstring>
<faultactor>http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next</faultactor>
I've tried editing j2ee-logging.xml and set the logging level to FINEST and TRACE but it's still not logging out the HTTP traffic.
Any ideas welcomed,
Thanks

Andy,
Which log files are you looking at? There is a server.log that will be impacted when you set the logging level to FINEST. Since you want to look at http requests, have you considered using Fiddler on the client side? It's pretty verbose but you can see all sorts of info including data posted to forms.
-Michael
PS
URL:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/htdocs/oc4j-logging-debugging-technote.htmlTake a look at the "Debug Options in OC4J" section. There are several HTTP debugging options listed.

IMP: When will go HTTP and When we will go for SOAP????

Hey Experts,
Here i have requirement like that, I want to syn the date from SAP to external applications eg.., dot net So here which adapter i need to use here ,Either HTTP or SOAP??
When we will go for Http and when we will go SOAP ? and which suits for dot net applications and which suits for java kind of applications ...
Can you explain me what is the difference between this two adapter and which is the best one???
Thanks in Advance
Regards
JS

Sarathy,
So here which adapter i need to use here ,Either HTTP or SOAP??
It completely depends on the receiving system. I prefer web services, so if they can receive web services, then go for SOAP.
When we will go for Http and when we will go SOAP ? and which suits for dot net applications and which suits for java kind of applications ...
It completely depends on the scenario. In system integration, you first identify the scenario, and then choose the adapter which best suits the scenario.
On .NET applications, it's easier to create / maintain web services.
Can you explain me what is the difference between this two adapter and which is the best one???
Please do a search on SDN / SAP Help, you will find plenty of blogs / forum postings on this topic.

Https for SOAP and HTTP Receiver adapters in PI 7.1

Hi,
We need HTTPS Transport protocol is required to send the message to receiver systems.
Currently we are using below procedures for https:
1) HTTP with SSL (= HTTPS) without client authentication
2) HTTP with SSL (= HTTPS) with client authentication
But client donu2019t want this procedure.
Here my question is How to enable the https Transport protocol in SOAP and HTTP Receiver adapters.

>>Here my question is How to enable the https Transport protocol in SOAP and HTTP Receiver adapters.
What I see is your client wants PI to send communication via HTTPS transport protocol. That means you have to apply for trusted certificate and import that certificate root node in Netweaver keystore.
Then change the transport protocol from http to https in soap and http receiver communication channel and communicate to client via certificate authentication.
Plenty of documents available in sdn about https certificate authentication. Please go through those links.
check this thread.. might be helpful
Client Certificate for PI authentication when Web Dispatcher terminates SSL

HTTPS using SOAP and sharing certificates

Hi Experts,
We have been able to activate HTTPS port in our PI system and created a scenario with SOAP sender with option -- >> HTTPS without client authentication.
Now, we generated the URL from sender agreement -- >> https:<host>:<port>:XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?........
When we try to test this from SOAPUI, an error message is received that - Client Certificate is required.
Now in NWA, under Security - >> SSL, we could find Private key and have uploaded the same in SOAPUI Keystore... But the error persists.
Just to emphasie we are just using self-generated certificate which is not signed by any CA.
Now questions or rather confusions:
1. If PI is hosting a service ( SOAP Sender ), exactly what kind of certificate should be exported and imported into SOAPUI or third party ? Private key PK8, PK12 or simply Certificate ?? Where exactly is the Public key ?
2. In case third party hosts the service and PI needs to consume it, I assume third party will share their certificates. Will they share public or private key ? Shall we simply upload it in our key store and it will work ?
3. In case PI and Third Party both are hosting the services so do we need 2 Set of certificates for scenarios to work ? ( One generated at each server ?)
I have read blogs, discussions but have seen varying opinions and hence wanted to clarify.
Thanks..
regards,
Omkar.

Please go through this link - HTTP and SSL - SAP NetWeaver Process Integration Security Guide - SAP Library
"A general prerequisite for using HTTPS in both SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) ABAP and Java is that the SAP Cryptographic Library is installed on the AS. In addition, the certificates (for example an X.509 certificate) used must have been issued by a company-internal Certification Authority (CA), or by an external trusted CA such as Thawte, Verisign, or TC Trustcenter."

Xmlrpc and soap, looking for a simple answer to a simple question

Hello,
Can someone tell me, are java implementations of web service protocols such as soap and xmlrpc built around servlets (and supporting classes of course) that know how to deal with these specific xml formats? I know there are various libraries for handling these things but on the most basic level it's still using a Servlet as an end point for an http request and then handing out the request to the supporting classes isn't it?
thanks a bunch
-seth

XML-RPC and SOAP were developed outside of Sun, outside of Java. They are uniform international standards of communications developed on top of XML standards to be easily used by applications of different types.
XML, like Java, is cross-platform, but for applications. XML defines document structure, and because it is an international standard, many people have access to the "format." An application, like Microsoft Word, can read an XML document created by some other Application that is written in XML because both understand XML. Although they can read the document, they may not understand the data. Various other XML technologies enable the application to retrieve another XML document that describes the elements or that defines how the data is to be displayed and/or used. XML Style Sheets and XML Translations are just two such things.
Not everyone knows the Adobe PDF format, so a program like MS Word is not able to read it, but if it was written in XML, then Word could read the document, get the technology that describes how to handle the data, and then properly display it to the user, allow editing, then save it back into XML format, and then Acrobat could read the edited data and display it correctly as well. Two different applications, one common format.

Flat file over HTTP or SOAP

Hey Guys,
I need to post a Flat file over HTTP (or SOAP), is this possible without developing my own Adapter module?
I just need to get a Flat file from a FTP server and post to another server via HTTP,since there is no message mapping involved, i developed the scenario without any Integration Repository objects, it is just a pass-through scenario.
Now i am stuck on the receiver side since i am unable to post Flat file over HTTP.
Secondly i have Login URL, Logout URL and upload URL from the receiver system, i don't see any place in receiver HTTP adapter to put all these 3 URL's, can i use SOAP adapter to put all these URL anywhere?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Saif

HTTP to SOAP scenario

Hi guys,
We have developed an HTTP to SOAP scenario, where XI acts as the WS client in order to call an already published WS.
When we are testing the scenario through RWB's interface (Component Monitoring --> Integration Server --> Integration Engine --> Self-Test Tab), we get error in SXMB_MONI.
The error is found in receiver SOAP adapter.
In Communication Channel Monitoring, we get the error "request entering", "call failed". The Message Id does not have a link in order to see the Audit Log.
In SXMB_MONI, the error in SOAP header is the following :
<SAP:Category>XIAdapterFramework</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="MESSAGE">GENERAL</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1 />
<SAP:P2 />
<SAP:P3 />
<SAP:P4 />
<SAP:AdditionalText>com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host: connect</SAP:AdditionalText>
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
Our network does not use a proxy server, the Web Service hostname responds when we ping it from CMD.
Also, the WS works fine when testing it from Web.
We tried to play around with "Target URL" and "SOAP Action" parameters in receiver SOAP Com. Channel, but error remains the same.
Any ideas ??

Java and SOAP

I am trying to use Java and SOAP to call a Coldfusion CFC file. The problem is that I can not figure out how to call the coldfusion function by using a url to direct the SOAP request, within java. The cfc file does sql queries on a separate network so I need to send a string parameter to the function and be able to return one back to the java program.
I have done a lot of internet research and I can not get it to work out right. My coldfusion is working correctly.

But the Coldfusion server would still have to present a "service". This could be using web services or it could be something as simple as a small HTTP based page to take the parameters and pass back results. Somehow the Coldfusion server must present a service for this to work.
Think of a standard HTML page with a form on it. What you're describing is similar to that - you take in parameters (the HTML form) and return results (the result from an HTTP POST). Coldfusion is acting as the web server and your Java client is acting as the browser. Until the Coldfusion server is ready to accept requests (in your case SOAP formatted requests) there is not point worrying about the client side (the Java client in your case).
Is the Coldfusion server presenting something that can run the CFC file and return the results? Again, it could be a web service or even a REST-like service (like I described above) that your client could talk to.
