Calling web service in Oracle Applications using Forms....

Can I call a web service in Oracle Appications 11.5.10?
I created a simple form on my local machine and invoked the webservice in that form and it works perfectly. I used Oracle forms 9i and 6i for this purpose and both are working perfectly.
But when I created the same form on the UNIX server and imported the Java Class and placed that form in Oracle Applications and tried to invoke the web service it is not working.
I am using Forms 6i for creating the form in Oracle Applications.
Are there any other factors that I am neglecting?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.........

Hi,
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.

Calling web service in Oracle Applications...

Is there any way we can call web services in Oracle Applications?
I am using 11.5.10 verison of Oracle Applications.
Thanks in advance,
Sandra

Hey Ravi,
Thanks for your response. I am not well versed with Java. I am using Forms 6i to achieve this. I dont know what java code do I have to put in the custom directory.
The procedure I am following to call web sevice is as follows:
1. Using the webservice URL(.wsdl URL) I am creating the Java class (web service stub) in Jdeveloper.
2. Deploying this Java class into a JAR file.
3. Then I am placing this JAR file in a directory which was spcified in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CLASSPATH including the name of the JAR file.
4.Then I go to Forms 6i and say program --> Import Java Classes in my form, it gets the webservice java class and converts that java class into PLSQL packages.proc/func.
Can you please send me an example how you did this to my email?

How to deploy a web service on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2?

Hi everyone,
I followed the instructions of the following link to create a web service using jDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0 on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2. [http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/jdev/obe1013jdev/10131/devdepandmanagingws/devdepandmanagingws.htm#t1]
The web service created was deployed & used with no errors on the standalone OC4J instance.
But my goal is to deploy my web service on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2.
So after several attempts, I was able to deploy it on the Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 but unfortunately I didn't know the URL needed to use the web service.
I tried the following link (http://192.168.0.91:18100/JavaWebService-GetDates-context-root/GetDatesWSSoapHttpPort) but also didn't work :(
I also tried converting to J2EE 1.3 and still not knowing how to access the web service.
Please advice with a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Lana

Thanks everyone for your help :)
The problem turned out to be that Oracle application server 10.1.2 is unlike the others servers, it uses 2 ports:
- port (19100) is dedicated for the console.
- port (7779) is to view your applications.
So the URL needed turned out to be "http://acteos-109.beirut.acteos:7779/beanTest" instead of "http://acteos-109.beirut.acteos:18100/beanTest"
Hope this info is useful

Calling web service from oracle forms 10g

Problem Description:
I'm following the steps as per the doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gr2/howto/webservicefromforms/ws_10_1_3_from_forms.html
to create a java stub to call external web service and then use java importer in oracle forms to call this web service from oracle forms.
WSDL for external web service used is http://gend:83/DesignService.svc?wsdl
The service was developed by us.
Calling the web service using JDeveloper works fine but when I complie in Oracle Forms it returns wrong number of types of arguments in call SENDHELLO.
The code from oracle form to call web service is as below:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
xo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(2000);
ex ora_java.jobject;
str varchar2(100);
BEGIN
jo := GendServiceClient.new;
rv := GendServiceClient.sendHello('Nora');
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;
message(Exception_.toString(ex));
END;
Any help/ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
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.

Calling web service from oracle forms fails with ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR

Problem Description:
I'm following the steps as per the doc:

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

URL endpointURL = new URL(endpoint);
Envelope requestEnv = new Envelope();
Body requestBody = new Body();
Vector requestBodyEntries = new Vector();

Oracle Applications have very specific rules on what you can do and not do with Forms so you need to ask this in the Applications Forums.

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.

Exception when calling web service from Oracle forms 10g

Hi All,
I am trying to integrate Oracle Forms 10g(V 10.1.2.0.2.) with Web Services.
There is a java class named 'authenticate' which is generated using Oracle JDeveloper.
This class is included in the forms application by using "Import Java Class" feature.
Forms built the following funtion based on that class:
-- Method: authenticate (Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
FUNCTION authenticate(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 VARCHAR2,
a1 VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
BEGIN
args := JNI.CREATE_ARG_LIST(2);
JNI.ADD_STRING_ARG(args, a0);
JNI.ADD_STRING_ARG(args, a1);
message('here1');
RETURN JNI.CALL_STRING_METHOD(FALSE, obj, 'mypackage/AuthenticatorWebServiceServiceStub',
'authenticate', '(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;', args);
message('here2');
END;
However when the above code is invoked it shows the message 'here1' on the form and then throws the following exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.ClassCastException
Please suggest me what's wrong with the code. I appreciate your time and help.
Thanks,
Scott.

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.

Deploying a web services on Oracle Application Server

Hi,
it is possible to deploy a web services generated by axis on Oracle Application server ? and if it is how ?
Thanks,

Hello again.
Thx for the reply.
I have all specfic Libraries in my ear file, but i don't get the problem solved.
I can see the example Web Services from axis but not my own (which should be generated from my class files)
Here is the build file I use, perhaps someone find what I do wrong or what I forgett:

Well, you should first test if your webservice is reachable with a simple WS - Client or a Browser - Plugin, then verify the respones of the web service and after that you can take further investigations on your problem domain. The error - message refers to a line in your function, obviously, but I can't see which line and because there is more than one call to sys.utl_dbws I don't see at what point the script fails. NULL - Pointer - Execptions usually indicate that a method was invoked on a variable which should contain an object reference but is NULL.
