Calling REST Services that accept JSON objects from BPEL Process

Hi,
I do have a requirement of calling RESTful service from the BPEL process (SOA Suite 11.1.1.5). The RESTful service accepts the payload as JSON object.
I have gone through the documentation of HTTP binding through which we can call RESTful services from BPEL. But the payload option is coming as only XML.
So just wondering whether BPEL has out-of-the box support for JSON object payloads when calling REST service? Please let me know if you have any pointers on this.
Thanks & Regards
S

Hi Vijay,
Thanks for the links Vijay.
Went through the links and the documentation. From that i could see the only way is coming up with Java based proxy which takes care of XML to JSON conversion and calling the REST based service. This would actually need a java developer now :)

Siva

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the quick reply.Actually the web service is already deployed on the server.What I want to do is use existing wsdl file of the deployed web service and invoke the method of the same using oracle PM.
If I remove element which uses apachesoap:Map type it just works fine also I am getting the complex object returned by the web service method.But when I try to set appDataDef which is of type apachesoap:Map(Axis conversion for java.util.Map and it uses namespace xmlns:apachesoap="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap") I am getting the error.
Can you give me some direction to use this exising wsdl file to set map object or it is not possible.

Invoking a Web Service that Requests NTLM Authentication in BPEL Process

Hi,
I am trying to invoke a webservice which requires NTLM Authentication.able to test the service through SOAP ui .
Followed the steps memntioned in the oracle doc in order to invoke the same service through BPEL Process, some how I am facing issue when BPEL invokes the service. Here is the error message

The above link discuss about the properties that need to be set in composite.xml file in order to invoke the service.
I am using SOA 11.1.1.6, tried to implement the same steps but i could see the error message "Unauthorized for url ********** "
Could you please help me on this.
Thanks

Hi Guys ,
Got to kow that this is a bug. Some how following link helps in sending the payload to webservice which requires NTLM authentication thru JAVA.

Yes we have got the same error while invoking from SOAP UI.
But wsdl alone is opening through browser.
But when we try opening the endpoint url we are getting the above error.
Please help!

Issue with calling restful services via HTTP in an Orchestration

The company I work for is using RESTful services for our I/O. We are processing EDI files using Biztalk, and are calling the REST services via HTTP from a c# code called within the orchestration. At lower volumes, the service performs fine, but at higher
transaction volumes, the HTTP calls never return. Is there a resource that needs to be tuned somewhere on the biztalk node to allow higher volumes of HTTP calls? Its not the REST service side - it has no problems handling loads generated by non biztalk nodes.
For further clarification, the EDI message is a multi batched, so there are many simultaneous orchestrations running at once. I have started to look at ways to throttle how many instances can run at once, but I still suspect some resource in the HTTP
sequence that we dont have enough of.
Ideas?

I think you were not enough free threads in the ThreadPool to complete the operation.
So you can work out with Max connection setting in your BTSNTSvc file first
<system.net>
<connectionManagement>
<add address="http://name.of.server.here" maxconnection="1oo" />
</connectionManagement>
</system.net>
and try increasing number of threads allocated to the specific send Host instance and your Orchestration instance ,you can try twinkling Response timeout in minutes as well on host instance

Can Adobe Interactive PDF consume a service that returns JSON?

Can Adobe Interactive PDF consume a service that returns JSON? A few web sites seem to suggest it can:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=functions_c-d_43.html
http://blogs.adobe.com/acdc/2008/08/using_json_to_exchange_data_wi.html

Its probably better to post this in the Form or Designer forum as those ones deal more with the capabilities of XFA based PDFs. The Generator forum deals with the server software that converts documents to PDF.
Having said that.
You should be able to do it, but not directly. I don't believe that there is a way to map the JSON returned values to a field, as XFA pdf's generally support XML. You may be able to put the returned JSON value into a single field and then write some code that would parse that value into the proper fields.

How to call a class that extends a frame from a panel ?

How to call a class that extends a frame from a panel ?
I am trying to create an application say "Videoshow"
Videoshow has a panel which in turn consists of 2 components : 1]a textarea( to show the contents of a page) and 2] a mediaclip(to show the video).
Now I have an application "MediaApplication"(to show the videoclip) which extends Frame (Code from Java 2 Unleashed, Chap 21). I want to show this MediaApplication in Component 2 of the above panel. But when I do this, I only see the MediaApplication frame instead of the whole SlideShow.
I want to do something likethis.
VideoShow :
|---------------------------------|-------------------|
| |
| (Comp 1) | (Comp 2)
| TEXTAREA | Video Clip
| |(MediaApp entends Frame)
|---------------------------------|-------------------|
What is the best way to achieve this ? Also which component can I use to show the videoclip ?

im not familiar with the code you mention from Java 2 Unleashed, but your best bet is to read up on Swing a bit - so you get an idea of how Swing containers and components work - then im sure you'll find a solution to your problems. Then if you encounter any difficulties whilst your attempting to do that, post your code in the Swing forum and im sure someone will help you.

Custom wcf service that uses SharePoint Object Model.

Hi All,
I am writing a custom service on SharePoint. I have noticed most of the people do deploy the custom wcf service in layout folder in 12/14/15 hive. I am wondering is it mandatory? Can’t we deploy the custom wcf service that uses SharePoint Object Model as
virtual directory on a specific port?
Regards Restless Spirit

It is suggested to use WCF in 12/14/15 hive folder due to security and eas in use. Check below

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16008593/where-should-custom-wcf-service-for-sharepoint-2010-resides
If you want to use the server object model you have to host your WCF service on the same server as your SharePoint is installed on.
If the WCF service has to be on a different server you can use the client object model or the SharePoint webservices to communicate to SharePoint.

Hi Phani,
Are you able to reproduce issue as below:
1. Login to Application as sysadmin.
2. Navigate to Intergrated SOA Gateway > Integration Repository.
3. Click on search on right hand side of the page.
4. In the Internal Name type "FND_USER_PKG" and click Go.
5. Click on the User link.
6. Under the "Web Service - SOA Provider", click in the "View WSDL". Copy the complete URL "http://test:8003/webservices/SOAProvider/plsql/fnd_user_pkg/?wsdl"
7. Open the soapUI.
8. Click File > new soapUI Project.
9. Test the web service.
If yes,
I think you might be need to execute a patch:
solution:
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. Download and review the readme and pre-requisites for iAS Patch 18855074.
Note: Above Merge Label Request (MLR) is build for EBS 12.1.3 having OC4J 10.1.3.5.
2. Enable the profile option "EBS Adapter for BPEL, Function Security Enabled".
a. Login as SYSADMIN user and Navigate to System >Profile and Search for "EBS Adapter for BPEL, Function Security Enabled" (Internal name :EBS_ADAPTER_FUNCTION_SEC_ENABLED)
b. Set the Value to 'Y' at SITE level . This means function security feature is enabled and all API calls for PL/SQL APIs, Oracle e-Commerce Gateway, and concurrent programs will be checked for user security before they are invoked.
3. Retest the issue by Generating and Deploying the required package.
4. Migrate the solution as appropriate to other environments.
Thanks
Ranjan

URGENT: Error while invoking soap-based web service from BPEL process

Sandor,
Thanks. Your suggestion of turning off optSoapShortcut worked. So does that mean that by default remote web services cannot be invoked from BPEL process by SOAP - unless this configuration change is done ?

Invoking Web Service with PKI Authentication from BPEL process

Hello --
I am trying to test calling a Web service utilizing PKI-based authentication from BPEL running under the 10.1.2.0.2 Process Manager. When I access the service from a browser I am prompted for Username and Password the first time. When I attempt to access it from BPEL I receive this error:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found
Is it possible to access this service from BPEL in 10.1.2.0.2? How can I pass the service the required credentials?
Thank you for your time,
Paul Camann

I've gotten past the original error by importing the security certificate of the Web service into my keystore/truststore. I'm also running the process on SOA 10.1.3.1.0. Now when I invoke the Web service from the BPEL process I get this error:
exception on JaxRpc invoke: HTTP transport error:
javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException:
javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Bad response: 403 Forbidden
I've tried passing the credentials every way I can -- partner link properties, Oracle Web Services Manager, whatever -- and still get the same error. I would expect to see a 401 error for problems with credentials, not a 403.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time.
