Calling Web Service Methods in Web Dynpro

1. Created a Bean with get & set methods..Created a portal Service around it
2. Created a Web Service and checked the same using EP Web Checker
3. Created a Web Dynpro app having two screens (First one for setting String value and second for getting string value)
4. Configured the Web Service in the model...I can see the Request and Response in the Context...Mapped the request to first view and Response to Second View
How do I call the Web Service method to Set the Paramter and how do I extract the value from the response?

How to add a new filter in an existing web service method (BIWS - WEBI document)

Hello Experts, we have 7 web service query's connected to a dashboard. Basically it is one WSDL URL and 7 Get Methods...Web service queries are BIWS (via WEBI document instance). There are filters setup for each of these web service methods.
Recently there was a request to add 2 new fields to the webi document and also the 2 fields need to be included as filters in the 7 methods. I know there is an option to edit the method, but when i edit the method, i cannot find the 2 new fields in list to set as filters.Can anybody help me understand how to add filters to an existiing web service method? I do not want to delete the method and republish the block as web service.
Any help will be great and points rewarded.
Thank you
Ann

Hi Ann,
The reason you are not able to see any of the new columns as a option to select in your web service block is because when you have published that block, they were not present. Add these two new objects in your block and publish it again. You will be prompted for duplication content. Select the highlighted block for duplicate and now you can see the new added objects in the filter option. Update and this will overwrite your published block. Please note, web services do appear to behave weirdly when used with dashboards so I request you to please try it in a separate test report first.
Hope that helps.

Tanisha

Problem in calling XI generated Web Service via Java Web Dynpro

Hi experts,
I have problems with calling a web service, which was created by XI. I have already tested the web service with Altova XMLSpy. The Web Service works fine.
But when embedding this web service into Java Web dynpro application no message flow is given. I have two views one Selection View and one Result View which should show the answer sent by RFC-Call.
<b>My Settings in NWDS:</b>
During configuration of web dynpro I have choosen 'Import adaptive Web Service Model' --> Select wsdl file via local file system --> 'no logical destinations - use WSDL URL for metadata retrieval and web service execution'.
The model is also not shown in diagram view although I have added into the diagram.
The web service was created on XI 7.0.
Should I do any other settings e.g. in Visual Administrator, Web Dynpro Content Administrator?
So can anybody help me.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Mario

Hi Aviad,
thanks for your fast reply.
But in Web Service Navigator my Web Service is not shown, because I used the SOAP Adapter.
<b>My Web Service link:</b>
http://<host>:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:SRV_GBD_WS_GET_DEB_DETAIL:CC_GBD_WEBSERVICE_SENDER&version=3.0&Sender.Service=&Interface=%5E*
During executing Web Dynpro I got following errors:
1. 'The system cannot find the path specified'.
2. com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.exception.WSModelRuntimeException: Exception on creation of service metadata for WSDL URL

TimeoutException - when calling web services method that opens a PDF

I am updating a legacy program which uses Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional. The idea is that the client will call web service methods, which handle opening a PDF, reading from or writing to the PDF, saving if necessary, and closing. It then returns the data (if reading) to the client.
The only issue with this that I'm having is that the client will pause for about 60 seconds, and throw a TimeoutException.
I know that the method on the web services end is working, because I wrote a quick driver which calls the very same method, but it executes normally, and works perfectly.
My question is basically, is there anything that would cause the client to hang/freeze when calling the web services method to do this task? Everything is running on my workstation, and I've debugged to see that the filename being passed is the same in both tests.
Thanks!

Thank you, I somehow missed seeing that subforum. I reposted it in that forum instead. This thread can be deleted/closed. Thanks!

Serialization error when calling web service method

Hi,
In JDeveloper 10.1.3.1, I'm working on an EJB that will be deployed as a web service. There is a method in the EJB that is defined to return a generic Object, but in the implementation, it really returns one of several possible specialized bean objects. I can deploy the EJB successfully to IAS 10.1.3.1.
I created a web service proxy from the wsdl that was generated from deploying the EJB. Using the proxy, I try to call the EJB method and cast the method's return value to the bean object I know should be returned. However, I get an error like this:
java.rmi.ServerException:
start fault message:
Internal Server Error (serialization error: no serializer is registered for (class com.test.TestBean, null))
:end fault message
Does anyone know how this serialization error can be resolved? If I change the web service method signature to return the bean object that is actually being returned (instead of Object), then it works fine. But I want to be able to define the method to return a generic Object because I plan to make the method flexible enough to return several different types of bean objects. Whenever the client calls the method, it will know what is the actual object being returned and I had planned to cast the return value to its actual class.
Thanks for any ideas.

Well, I think so... I've followed all the steps, and my merged WSDL file seems like the one in page 12...
Any suggestion, please?
Thank you,

Calling Oracle Report InSide Web Service Method

Is there way to call oracle reports inside one of my web service method.
If yes kindly let me know how we can do this and some documents related to this.
Thanks
Robert

Oracle reports does have a Web API when reports are run from the application server. As a result one way to do what you are asking is to write a Web service that use java.net.URL to invoke the Reports Service Web interface:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/docs/A92102_01/pbr_run.htm#1005598
As I understand it, this interface itself is actually being exposed as a Web service in a future release of Oracle9iAS Reports ... I don't know if this is a Oracle9iAS Reports 9.0.4 feature or beyond that. You might try asking on the Reports forum:

Web Service Consumption in Web Dynpro Java

Hi,
I'm using NetWeaver 2004s for Java. I have generated a Web Service out of a BAPI. I use that Web Service in a Web Dynpro Java Application as Model. Model generation works fine. But when I call the Web Service during execution of the corresponding Web Dynpro Application, I get the following Exception:
"java.rmi.RemoteException: Service call exception; nested exception is: java.lang.Exception: Call to returned http code 500 with unacceptable content type (text/html; charset=iso-8859-1). <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Unknown Host</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="white" FGCOLOR="black"> <H1>Unknown Host</H1> <HR> <FONT FACE="Helvetica,Arial"><B> Description: Unable to locate the server named "<EM>us0308.wdf.sap.corp</EM>" --- the server does not have a DNS entry. Perhaps there is a misspelling in the server name, or the server no longer exists. Double-check the name and try again. </B></FONT> <HR> </BODY>"
Testing the Web Service via transaction WSADMIN works fine. Can anybody give me an advise how to solve that problem?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Frank

Had Exactly same problem with authorization issues on the server hosting the webservices.
Create a CPIC user Id on the server hosting the webservice. The user id should have authorization to execute the webservice.
Create a webservice destination in VA for the said webservice using the user id
1. Log on to the J2EE Engine as an administrator using the Visual Administrator.
2. Expand -> Server ->Services.
3. Select the Destinations service.
4. Under Destinations, select HTTP and choose New
You need to create two destinations one for matadata and another for execution data.
Use the destinations while creating the WS model in NWDS.
if you have issues importing the model using the URL, you can create the model using the WSDL and use the WS Destinations to execute it.
I am following the same approach after i had faced similar issues with webservices on PI7.1 and Portal 7.0
About the option to use _setusername, _set...., not all webservices come with the _set methods.
and moreover if you do that, it would be more of hardcoding in the code, which should be avoided.

Nitin

Calling a Web Service in another Web Service using JDev10.1.3 and AS 10g

I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4.3673 and Oracle AS 10g 10.1.3 on Windows XP Professional Version 2002 service pack 2.
Has anyone called a web service in another web service? I have not researched this yet. I assume it is possible. I need to get this figured out asap.
My guess is that
1. For the web service which is going to be called in the other web service, you need to create client-side proxy to call the web service - create a static method to instantiate and call the service.
2. I would deploy this client-side proxy Stub which calls the web service along with the other web service which calls it to the Oracle AS 10g.
Is this right? Is there any documentation on this specific thing?

Strange about invoking web service method declared string method(void);

Dear forum readers
Im experimenting with OpenESB and web services. Ive create a simple web service using NetBeans 6.1. The method consists of a single method, getTime, that is declared:
String getTime()
My current experiment is to invoke this method from a BPEL-process using the Invoke process object. The strange thing is that it seems like I have to provide a dummy inbound variable from the BPEL-designer even though the method doesnt take any parameters. I include a snippet from the BPEL process below which includes the section where I set the dummy GetTimeIn-variable and then invokes the WS method getTime().
<assign name="Assign2">
<copy>
<from>'DummyValue'</from>
<to variable="GetTimeIn" part="parameters"/>
</copy>
</assign>
<invoke name="Invoke1" partnerLink="PartnerLink1" operation="getTime" xmlns:tns="http://ws/" portType="tns:MyWebService" outputVariable="GetTimeOut" inputVariable="GetTimeIn"/>
If I dont initiate the dummy variable or remove it altogether, I cant successfully call the method. If I include the dummy in-parameter the call works just fine and I get back the current time as a string.
I must admit that Im still a rookie to web services, especially when calling them from a BPEL-process, so it may be a very trivial reason for this behaviour. Anyway, any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Ola

Thank you both for the response. Regarding Rennays posting I have an additional question. When I create a new web service I don't have the "Document Literal" option nor a "Concrete Configuration" tab. I've created the web service using the "Web Application" project type and then adding a web service using the "Web Service..." wizard. This wizard doesn't have the configuration properties you mention, but if I add a WSDL-file to a BPEL-project the wizard has the properties you mention.
Is it possible to create a web service, programmed as an ordinary Java-class, from an existing WSDL-file? In that case it may solve the problem with the Document Literal property. Currently I dont know any other way to create such a web-service other than the through the web service wizard in a web application project. Of course, its possible to craft it from scratch but thats to much work to be practical.

Web Service Method that returns an ArrayList

Hi guys,
I have to create a web service method that returns an ArrayList, but it's not working. My problem is:
With the "@XmlSeeAlso" annotation, my client prints the result, but the ArryaList is not from java.util, it's from org.me.calculator so I can't use it.
If I remove this annotation, I get no result, with this error message on Tomcat 6:

I forgot to say that, when I try to return an ArrayList of an object, for example, ClassA, which is on the package org.me.classes, on my Server App, the ArrayList is returned, but the objects are from type org.me.calculator.ClassA. It should be from org.me.classes.ClassA, right?
This package also exists on my client App, to use the object, but as the returned type is from another package, I can't even cast it. I tried some annotations @Xml... but it failed.
Packages
ServerApp
org.me.calculator
CalcWS.java
org.me.classes
ClassA.java
Client App
org.me.classes
ClassA.java
The return from my method should be an ArrayList of org.me.classes.ClassA, but when I print it, on client, it's from org.me.calculator.ClassA.
Does anybody knows, or had the same problem?
Thanks,

Capturing the response received from the WCF web service method?

Hi,
I am trying to call a WCF web service method with input parameters in an xml file and then receive the returned output data by the web service as response into an xml file.
So far I am able to call the webservice method successfully and not sure how to capture the response data. I am able to see the response data in the tracked message event using the query expression search at the BizTalk group root.
I may be missing something simple in my orchestration(image at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/535971) ?
Steps in my orchestration are,
1) Receive the xml file with input parameters
2) Send to webservice using WCF-BasicHttp transport type
3) Receive response from web service
4) Send to xml file
Not sure how I can have 2 receive shapes in series there. I have seen few related posts in the forum but could not resolve.
Could someone please correct me?

Hi Rachit,
Thanks for your quick response. My orchestration is similar to the one in that post. In your post at step 7, how you are able to set 'Activate property' of the receive shape to true? as its the 2nd receive shape in series.
I am unable to post any images or links at the moment. My orchestration is posted at this link http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/535971
I am able to access the above link using chrome.
Yes, I did use the Request/Response port to communicate with the web service. I
am looking to achieve similar to the one in your post.
Thanks.

Generate web service model in web dynpro

Hi,
I have a web service which I generated a model in web dynpro and working fine.
But the problem is that when I update my web service(change in method prototype, number of parameters, data type changes) I need to regenerate the model again and need to map to context elements.
So, is there any way so that I can update my model instead of regenerating entire model to reflect to new changes in web service.
Thanks for your time and effort.
Regards,
Shiva.

Hi Shiva,
Please look at this weblog for reimporting web service model.
/people/bertram.ganz/blog/2005/10/10/how-to-reimport-web-service-models-in-web-dynpro-for-java
There is no direct method available for that. But u can do by following this method.

How to consume the Abap web service in Java web-dynpro

Hi Everyone,
I want to consume ABAP web service in java web dynpro.
so when i tried to create model in java web-dynpro, it gave me an error message saying "Invalid WSDL or WSDL not found".
i think this error message is because, to access the WSDL of abap web-service, we need username and password, but the dialog box in java web-dynpro is not programmed to take username and password from us and send it to the server to get the WSDL.
i came to this conclusion because i was able to successfully test my abap web-service in java portal. the java portal asked me the username and password to open the WSDL.
So, please help me to consume the abap web service in java web-dynpro.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Vikas

Hi Vikas ,
while creating a model in web-dynpro try to use the "import web service model" option and if you are using local server choose the local server option so that you can get the available web services which are in server, select one among them and continue you process.I think this is the some what easy way .
If you want use the URL for wsdl better to once test the available service in server and copy that WSDL URL and paste over WSDL textbox.
I think this is pretty help ful to you

How can I create a web Service from my Web Dynpro Application ?

Hi,
Kindly let me know How I could create a "Web Service" with my Web Dynpro DC project.
Awaiting your responses.
Regards,

Hi Mahesh,
You can use the web services by creating the Model in web Dynpro
And if you want to publish your own web service then you have to create a EJB module and publish as a web service.
Thanks

Confirming method to secure web services through oracle web service manager

Hi All,
I am just wondering about the method to secure web service through oracle web service manager.
I have a unsecure web service "helloworld" which is deployed on JWSDP1.6 toolkit.I want to secure it through oracle web service manager.
Inorder to secure this unsecure web service,I use gateway(web service manager for securing web service using message level security through certificate).
So when client want to access the helloworld service,it contacts the gateway securely and gateway intern connect to original web service after decrypting and verification of the signature.When gateway gets response from the web service,it signs the response message and then encrypt and passs on to the client.
So my question is,is it the right way to secure web service?
As I am getting the following fault exception :
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<SOAP-ENV:Fault>
