Calling a Web Service in Oracle Report Developer 10g?

Hello,
Does Oracle Report Developer 10g supports Web Services (calls) or XML files as a Data Source?
If yes. From what version?
Thanks.

ok, so you have at least 2 solutions:
1. you get the data into a loop through your Java array.
2. you use the EXEC_SQL package function to create a dynamic SQL cursor
   Select ... from the_table where code in ('c1', ..., 'cn')Francois

  • Call a web services from oracle forms 10

    I have to call a web services from oracle forms.
    The version of the database is oracle 11gr2. the version of the forms is 10.1.2.0.2.
    I allready did the proxy creation and the import class within forms.
    I have 2 questions:
    1.
    I created the following procedure:
    PROCEDURE call_WS IS
         vobject1 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
         vobject2 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
    BEGIN
    vobject1 := WSEvaluarReglaCondicionComerci.new();
    vobject2 := WSEvaluarReglaCondicionComerci.listarValoresAtributoEvento(vobject1, 702, 2217, null, null, null);
    END;
    the function I calling:
    FUNCTION listarValoresAtributoEvento(
    obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
    a0 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
    a1 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
    a2 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
    a3 VARCHAR2,
    a4 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT) RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
    Note that the parameters is ORA_JAVA_JOBJECT and I need to send numbers. I understand that when I import the classes, because in the WS those parameters are defined as BigDecimal, Forms understand them as java object but when I compile it reports the error: "numero o tipo de argumento erroneo al llamar..." type error.
    So the question is, how Cast the numbers to Java Object to send them.
    I have read in a web page that one option is to change in the web service the type of the parameters but that is not an option.
    2.
    The WS returns a super big XML as answer, so how I can parse the result into an Object type?...
    The object structure is:
    TYPE opciones_obj AS OBJECT
    (strindice VARCHAR2 (4000),
    nombrecompleto VARCHAR2 (4000),
    nombre VARCHAR2 (4000),
    strtipodato VARCHAR2 (4000),
    codigoopcion NUMBER,
    floatval FLOAT,
    strtipo VARCHAR2 (4000),
    strval VARCHAR2 (4000));
    and the tags to extract is:
    COLUMNS strindice VARCHAR2 (4000)
    PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strIndice"]/ns2:value',
    nombrecompleto VARCHAR2 (4000)
    PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="nombreCompleto"]/ns2:value',
    nombre VARCHAR2 (4000)
    PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="nombre"]/ns2:value',
    strtipodato VARCHAR2 (4000)
    PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strTipoDato"]/ns2:value',
    codigoopcion NUMBER
    PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="codigoOpcion"]/ns2:value',
    floatval FLOAT
    PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="floatVal"]/ns2:value',
    strtipo VARCHAR2 (4000)
    PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strTipo"]/ns2:value',
    strval VARCHAR2 (4000)
    PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strVal"]/ns2:value') x;
    xquery / xmltype aparently is not an option because the xml is too big.
    I will appreciate your answers.
    Thanks.

  • 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 Oracle Forms....

    Hi ,
    I 've tried to follow the steps described in the link:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_10g/deploy/callws_fromforms/forms_webservice.htm
    which uses : a)JDeveloper 9.04 and b)Oracle Forms 9.0.4.
    However , i have installed Oracle Forms 10.1.2 and JDeveloper 10.1.2. (Developer Suite 10.1.2.).
    The problem is that in JDeveloper 10.1.2. the type of applications and menus and properties and.... have changed and i cannot finish the tutorial!!!!!
    Is there any document/example showing how to create a web service in JDeveloper and call it form Oracle Forms....?????
    NOTE: I have also installed JDeveloper 10.1.3...
    Many thanks ,
    Simon

    Check the JDeveloper tutorials page on OTN (linked from the JDeveloper home page) and you'll find a tutorial on creating a web service.
    The steps to invoke it from Forms should be the same.
    googling on Oracle Forms web services will bring a few more samples.

  • Calling a web service in Oracle forms

    Hi,
    I find problems when trying to use a web service in the oracle forms. The problem is in the "select ...". the error shows that the type must be an sql authorised type. can somebody help me? this is the source of my program:
    declare
    lespays ORA_JAVA.JARRAY;
    longueur number;
    i number;
    monpays ora_java.jobject;
    begin
    lespays:=getpays;
    monpays:=ora_java.get_object_array_element(lespays,0);
    select p.nom_pays from pays p,(select tpaysuser.getcodepays(monpays) as code_pays from dual) gp where p.code_pays=gp.code_pays;
    end;

    ok, so you have at least 2 solutions:
    1. you get the data into a loop through your Java array.
    2. you use the EXEC_SQL package function to create a dynamic SQL cursor
       Select ... from the_table where code in ('c1', ..., 'cn')Francois

  • How to call "https" web service from Oracle without certification.

    The reuirement is to call a secured web service (*https web service*) from Oracle9i without involving any additional cost.
    Initialy I tried with UTL_HTTP package but in vain as it is needed some certification. As per the requirement no additional cost should be involved with the implementation.
    So is there any way to achieve the above mentioned problem?
    Please let me know the responses with the sample code/steps.

    Please try not to double post. You have the ability to edit your original thread.
    Oh, BTW, try searching the forum. A quick search turned up this: HTTPS request signed by client certificate from PL/SQL procedure
    Check that out and maybe that will solve your problems.

    Edited by: KE Nora Loera on Jun 1, 2012 1:24 PM

    My primary skill is PL/SQL but the only information I found on Oracle's site to call a web service from a 10g Form was creating a jar file and importing the java class. Since I don't want to ask our corporate IT to make changes on the UNIX box for the jar files I went a different route.
    I use UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST to call a URL then load I load the data to a table as a CLOB since we have more than 4000 characters. Now I need to parse the XML and load it into a form. I have never done this so if there is a helpful site please let me know. I have looked at several sites but none do what I want.

    WSDL for external web service used is http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConverter.asmx?wsdl
    Calling the web service using JDeveloper works fine but from Oracle Forms returns ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR; Unable to call out to Java, Invalid object type for argument 1
    The code from oracle form to call web service is as below:
    DECLARE
    jo ora_java.jobject;
    rv ora_java.jobject;
    ex ora_java.jobject;
    outString varchar2(2000);
    BEGIN
    jo:= CurrencyConvertorStub.new;
    --This will get the exchange rate from US Dollars to UK Sterling.
    rv:= CurrencyConvertorStub.ConversionRate(jo,'CAD','USD');
    message (float_.floatValue(RV));
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
    message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
    WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
    ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
    outString := Exception_.toString(ex);
    message(outString);
    END;
    Any help/ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Yes, it is the message line - so basically this call fails => rv:= CurrencyConvertorStub.ConversionRate(jo,'CAD','USD'); and control goes in the exception block
    WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
    message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
    Below is the code from java stub that was generated using JDeveloper by using web services stub/skeleton and associating the WSDL
    public Double ConversionRate(String FromCurrency, String ToCurrency) throws Exception
    URL endpointURL = new URL(endpoint);
    Envelope requestEnv = new Envelope();
    Body requestBody = new Body();
    Vector requestBodyEntries = new Vector();
    String wrappingName = "ConversionRate";
    String targetNamespace = "http://www.webserviceX.NET/";
    Vector requestData = new Vector();
    requestData.add(new Object[] {"FromCurrency", FromCurrency});
    requestData.add(new Object[] {"ToCurrency", ToCurrency});
    requestBodyEntries.addElement(toElement(wrappingName, targetNamespace, requestData));
    requestBody.setBodyEntries(requestBodyEntries);
    requestEnv.setBody(requestBody);
    Message msg = new Message();
    msg.setSOAPTransport(m_httpConnection);
    msg.send(endpointURL, "http://www.webserviceX.NET/ConversionRate", requestEnv);
    Envelope responseEnv = msg.receiveEnvelope();
    Body responseBody = responseEnv.getBody();
    Vector responseData = responseBody.getBodyEntries();
    return (Double)fromElement((Element)responseData.elementAt(0), java.lang.Double.class);
    }
