Calling a Web Service in WP8

Hello all,
I've called web services from Windows Phone Apps like forever but, last time I tried to add a service reference to a WP8.0 application and I got this message:
Value can not be null.
Parameter name: Path1
and this one after the previous:
The operation could not be completed. Invalid pointer
I know that Microsoft removed the add a service reference
feature, but still I want to use it.
I'm now using VS 2013 update3.
So, is there's a solution? kindly tell me what to do.
I don't want to use Azure web services.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I've updated to VS2013
update 5 but I still see the problem.
Value can not be null.
Parameter name: Path1
and this one after the previous:
The operation could not be completed. Invalid pointer

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.

Hi,
On way we can call a web service is to pass the Web Service URL to UTL_HTTP package:
Sample Web Service URL
===================
lv_url :=
'http://67.97.189.151:8888/plsqlsample/dbfunc?invoke=placeOrder'
|| '&'
|| 'param0=1'
|| '&'
|| 'param1=1'
|| '&'
|| 'param2=1';
Sample Call using UTL_HTTP
=====================
SELECT UTL_HTTP.request (lv_url)
INTO lv_result
FROM DUAL;
Thank you.

Error while calling a web service in web dynpro through XI

Hello,
I was following a blog for Invoking Webservices using SAP XI
/people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/09/03/invoke-webservices-using-sapxi
I have done all the steps specified but when I import the wsdl file in web dynpro application and deploy the project I get the following error:
<b>"Exception on execution of web service with WSDL URL 'bankws_OUT_MI.wsdl' with operation 'bankws_OUT_MI' in interface 'bankws_OUT_MI'"</b>
where:
bankws_OUT_MI -
is the message interface name.
I have defined a web service in the integration reopsitory as follows:
<b>http://PEP:50000/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:bankws:s_comm</b>
where
bankws --- service name
s_comm -
sender communication channel
selected 'bankws_OUT_MI' message interface from the given choices
'bankws_IN_MI' or 'bankws_OUT_MI'.
interface name: bankws_OUT_MI -
mesage interface name
Can anyone guide me how to proceed further. Also if possible can anyone send me some helpful documentation regarding how to call a web service in web dynpro through XI.
Thanks in advance.

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?

Calling a web service through SSL via a stand alone java class

HI,
I am trying to call a web service through SSL via a simple stand alone java client.
I have imported the SSL certificate in my keystore by using the keytool -import command.
Basically I want to add a user to a group on the server. Say I add a user user 1 to group group 1 using an admin userid and password. All these values are set in an xml file which I send to the server while calling the server. I pass the web service URL, the soap action name and the xml to post as the command line arguments to the java client.
My xml file(Add.xml) that is posted looks like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:SOAP-ENC = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENV = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>

<groupName>group1</groupName>
<users>
<userName>user1</userName>
</users>
</namesp1:modifyGroupOperation>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
I call the client as:
java PostXML https://com.webservice.com/services/modifyGroup "/services/modifyGroup/modifyGroupOp" Add.xml
I my client, I have set the following:
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_12\\lib\\security\\cacerts");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "password");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.5.0_12\\lib\\security\\cacerts");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "password");

Hi jazz123,
There's an example in the [*Java Web Services Tutorial*|http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/2.0/tutorial/doc/] : see Chapter 1: Building Web Services with JAX-WS - A Simple JAX-WS Client.

How to call a web service that is managed by web services manager from omni

Ok gurus... here is an interesting one for you.
We have a set of web services that are deployed to our server. We have Oracle Web Services Manager deployed to another server and is acting as a gateway to our web services.
We would like to call our web service and pass it the username and password that were specified in the omniportlet connection information screen. How do we go about doing this?
PS. We are using the latest version of portal (10.1.4).
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Cory

Just a follow up. What I would like to do is to have omni portlet add standard header information for security such as the following:
<soap:Header>
<wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<wsse:UsernameToken xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<wsse:Username>theusername</wsse:Username>
<wsse:Password>thepassword</wsse:Password>
</wsse:UsernameToken>
</wsse:Security>
</soap:Header>
Any ideas on how to get omniportlet do this? Any ideas on where to look for the answer? Oracle dudes: Any plans to add this to future releases?
Thanks again folks :-)

What's a lightweight method to call a web service from an applet?

So, writing web service clients in java is pretty easy these days using the JAX-RPC library. Problem is in an applet you want it to load fast. I need my applet to call a web service, but don't want to include all the 'baggage' that comes along with JAX-RPC. It looks like you need XML libraries for JAX-RPC stuff to run, and those are huge jar files (many megabytes). I want a lightweight way to call web services. They are my own web services, so I don't need a general solution. There's got to be a way to just form a soap message and use http to send it. It seems like that has been done already.
On a related note. I will be passing byte arrays as parameters, so if I do try and form my own SOAP XML message, how are byte typically encoded into these messages?
Thanks a bunch for any suggestions.
Mike

The scripting prompt is due to locally installed WebHelp. If you put it on a server, it should work fine. (Or try to enable Mark of the Web for your output.)
The problem with CSH not working is probably because the CSH is not enabled in the output. In the single source layout settings, make sure that all your map files are selected:
The easiest way I see it to create a simple API yourself. (We did it for Delphi and C# and it took about ten minutes.) You can just create a URL and feed it to the default browser. If you want to be able to load new help calls in the same tab, you will have to hook into the browser somehow.
The URL's are really easy to create. See http://www.wvanweelden.eu/article-category/context-sensitivity for a complete overview of all your options in HTML and WebHelp. If you want to call a CHM context sensitive look at the following article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2bk8zwb3(v=vs.90).aspx

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. ...

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?

How can I call a web service via Adobe Reader XI?

Hi all,
I have created a document using LiveCycle (Trial) to get something from my custom web service, using Adobe Pro to open the file and its success to call the web service when clicking the call button, however, when I try to do the same thing using Adobe Reader XI, seems not work. Please help!
Best Regards,
Black Leong

The only way it can work with Reader is if the document is Reader-enabled with LiveCycle Reader Extensions or the similar product from Datalogics. Acrobat is not able to add the corresponding usage right.
