Calling a Web Service from J2EE application running on WebSphere

This may have been answered before, but could not find using multiple searches that I did on this forum.
We are just in the process of using the newly installed SAP WAS 6.40 with J2EE engine and I understand from SAP's documentation that all BAPIs and remotely callable RFCs should be invokable via a Web Service call from remote applications. Couple of questions on this:
1. Is there a documentaion that describes steps to enable BAPIs or RFCs as web services?
2. Is there a documentation that describes steps to invoke a web service that in turn uses BAPI or RFC (code sample).
We are J2EE literates but not familiar with SAP WAS, and not sure if calling/invoking the WS would be similar to calling any other WS from other WS Containers.
Appreciate a response or suggestions.

Hi Bharat,
see this weblog , where it gives the steps to create a RFC and convert it into web service.
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2005/01/05/develop-a-web-service-that-sends-an-email--in-abap
Invoking WS is similar to calling any other WS from other containers. Either you have to give the WSDL file location or the external UDDI Server address in WebService creation wizard.
The WebService exapmles is also avaliable in help.sap.com

How to call a web Service from Oracle Applications?

Hi friends,
I've posted this question on OA Framework forum , but may be it's more appropiated put it here. Sorry for do it again:
It's about how to call a web service from a Form or a .sql (via Request) in Oracle Applications:
Could you please explain here the detailed steps (with code example if it's possible) to invoke a webservice from Oracle Applications?.. how did yo do it...?
I've read differents posts here and the 33097.1 metalink note (by the way, the first recommended link in this note is broken...), but there are lots of theorical concepts and no real examples to see how/from where invoke the WS
I'll have to call one webservice (I suppose the customer will give me the interface implementation)...but I've never did it with Applications so that's why I ask you for all the detailed steps...
I work with Forms 6i, Apps 11.5.10.2 and DB 9.2.0.7.
Thanks a lot.
Jose.

Hello Jose,
I did using java program to call BPEL web services in 11.5.10.
I pasted below the metalink note for your reference (Note:250964.1)
The idea is first write a java program to call the webservice (in my case it is calling an BPEL web service, so this may not help directly), test it.
Then port the java program as specified in the note, so that you could call your web service through concurrent manager scheduler.
Is this ok?
Thanks
Arun.

Calling a Web Service from Mobile - UI options

Hi Team,
I have a scenario where the backend SAP functionality is exposed as a web service and we need to call it online from a mobile handheld device (Symbol with Pocket PC client 2003, IE browser 4.0). Is it possible to call this web service from the handheld? Do we have to write the web service call on the J2EE stack using NetWeaver developer studio?
Also, what UI technology is recommended for showing the data from the web service call. The idea is to get some user input on the handheld, and then post a transaction via the web service on SAP. I discussed with some of my colleagues and they recommend to use JSP/Servlets for this. Does anybody has a better idea, (the JSP/Servlets does not seem correct). Should we use native XSLT or something else.
Please note that the Mobile Web Dynpro has limitations on the UI side and the "onEnter", "setFocus" does not work, specifically on the netweaver 2004s release. The backend ERP system we have is 2004s and I'm trying to make a web service call from a NW 2004 client.
Any ideas or pointers will be appreciated and points awarded. Thanks for your time.

Hi Sanjay!
Yes, To call a WebService you will have to write your Own Application using NWDS.I donot have any specific recommendation for the UI Technology to be used.
Usage of "OnEnter" and "SetFocus" with NW2004s has certain limitations below.
"OnEnter" is not a supported feature as of now especially for WD applications on Handheld Devices.
"SetFocus" will work on IE6.0 Standard Desktop Browser with WAS7.0 SP06 and i believe it will work in hand held devices if your using WAS7.0(NW2004s)SP8 and you are using the latest Symbol Device that has Windows Mobile 5.0 OR Windows CE.NET 5.0.I understand that there could be some limitations with the OS and the IE you are currently running in the device.
Let me know your views.
Thank You

Unable to call a web service from BPEL Project

I created a simple BPEL project to call a web service and when I run the project from BPELConsole I getting the following error:

I am able to call this web service from soapUI client.
Any help or hint is appreciated.

I have had this issue before when calling a .NET service, it was firewall related. I didn't actually make the fix so I can't tell you exactly how it was fixed on the server. I hope this info makes sense as this this the info I got from the IT boys
I’ve install this tool on your computer:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=05C2C932-B15A-4990-B525-66380743DA89&displaylang=en
which does that:
Firewall Client for ISA Server can be optionally installed on client computers protected by Microsoft ISA Server. Firewall Client for ISA Server provides enhanced security, application support, and access control for client computers. It provides authentication for Winsock applications that use TCP and UDP, supports complex secondary protocols, and supplies user and application information to the ISA Server logs.
When a client computer running Firewall Client for ISA Server makes a request, the destination is evaluated by the Firewall Client software, and external requests are directed to the ISA Server computer for handling. No specific routing infrastructure is required. Firewall Client sends user information transparently with each request, enabling you to create a firewall policy on the ISA Server computer with rules that use the authentication credentials presented by the client. ISA Server allows you to configure automatic discovery for Firewall client computers, using a WPAD entry in DNS or DHCP to obtain correct Web proxy settings for clients, depending on their location.
and I’ve added a exception in IE to the tools-lan settings-advanced-exceptions to be creditworks.* Did this by modifying the GPO that applies to your account, so all the users in National Office should have that exception.
hope you can use this.
cheers

Does any one have insights about it?

Hi Swapna,
from your screenshot it seems that you actually try to call the service in your Data Source Expression field. You should set path to the WSDL file here actually - this could be either URL to SAP or to filesystem, as Anton suggested (this could be faster). Have you created endpoint binding for your service in transaction SOAMANAGER? If yes, then simply download the corresponding WSDL with binding or copy the URL which leads to it. But also test whether you are able to retrieve the WSDL without logging into SAP (close all browser windows and then open a new one otherwise session ID from other browser windows can be reused).
If you have to give username and password, then setup anonymous alias in transaction SICF, for example.
Pleas, check my previous post on the same subject here: Re: BCM7 IVR : SOAP request for client identification in CRM .
Maybe it could help.

Dawood.

How can I call external web service from BPEL

1. I have "EmpService" webservice (simple webservice to get emp salary, not in BPEL domain) running in Oracle AS host1. If I want to call this web service from BPEL in another host2. How can I do this?
2. Is it a must to deploy this EmpService to Oracle BPEL domain in order to call it? If so, how can I deploy it. As many BPEL example tutorial demonstrate the "obant" command to deploy the BPEL process, but not show how to deploy a external web service not in BPEL project. Please help. ...

Calling a Web Service from Java

Our java guru (who is out sick....AHHHH) created all the calls that are needed to access the web service that he has running. For example the call getLongList(String user, String password) will return a list of all outstanding transactions. He made a jar file that has service has class files for PortType, Service, Service Locator and Soap Binding stub.
How do I call this web service from java? Do I have to import it into my classpath? or just call these parameters from within my java code?

never mind...i got it

How to call a web service from BPEL that requires HTTP basic authentication

Hi All,
I need to calling some Web Services from BPEL (SOA 10.1.3.1 production running on XP machine). The services require HTTP basic authentication.
I have tried adding httpUsername and httpPassword properties to the ParnterLink, and I see in BPEL Console that they are deployed by checking the descriptor page. But I still get a SOAP fault, HTTP 401: Unathenticated.
I have also tried using basicHeaders (from memory) = credentials, httpBasicUsername, and httpBasicPassword. Same result.
I have done a packet trace using Ethereal, and the headers do not seem to contain the userid and password at all.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Mark Nelson

Thanks Bas,
I have resolved the issue. The provider of the Web Service had not configured if for Basic Authentication. For some reason it worked when they tested, or maybe the did not test. The only thing I had to change was to use:
<property name="basicHeaders">credentials</property>
<property name="basicUsername">WMDATA</property>
<property name="basicPassword">WMDATA</property>
Instead of:
<property name="httpUsername">WMDATA</property>
<property name="httpPassword">WMDATA</property>
I don’t know why this is, maybe because it is an Axis Web Service.
Sorry for wasting your time.
Regards Pete

QName error while calling a web service from Sourcing

I need to call a web service from Sourcing script. The web service team has provided us the WSDL and I have generated the required stubs using wsimport and packaged the required java classes in a custom JAR. Now while calling a web method using this jar from my script, I am getting and exception. The exception message that I printed out was this:
Caught exception e with msg Connection IO Exception. Check nested exception for details. (Connection
IO Exception. Check nested exception for details. (Connection Exception; nested exception is:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: cannot create QName from "null" or "" String).)
The same jar and same code works fine when called from a standalone java program.
I am not using or creating QName anywhere in my script. The only place where QName is used is in the generated java class and there it is created from the correct namespace URL
Can anyone please help me out in figuring out what is the issue?

This is the stack trace of the error:

How can we call a WEB SERVICE from an Oracle DB?

<h2>
What the methods available to call a WEB SERVICE from the DB. I.e. through a DB Stored Procedure?
I was given this article by a colleague, but since it’s a 2005 one, I feel it could be outdated?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/mensah_dws.html
Also, is it possible to write ONE “Common” DB stored procedure to call ANY WEB SERVICE?
</h2>

<h2> No Girish, what I meant is, since it is 2005 article, the method it describes to call a WS is out of date.
Because I am quite sure in 2009, 4 years later Oracle must have added built-in packages and other methods to simplify it???
Also, I would be very grateful if you advice on the other issue: Is there a way to create a single DB stored procedure to call ANY WS?? i.e. a common routine to call any web service?
