Calling Web Service passing xml from Oracle Forms

Question

Hello,
I need to call a .net web service from Oracle Forms that passes in xml data and returns xml data.
I have seen several examples of how to create a wrapper in jdev and then to import the code
into forms. I just have not seen any examples that are passing parmameters especially not xml
as a parameter and that have an active wsdl that I can see how it relates to the code created.
I have a wrapper but cannot figure out where and what notation to use to include passing in
an xml object.
Does anyone have an example passing in xml where the wsdl is still available to see?'
Forms version 10.1.2.0.2. Jdev 10.1.3.4
Thanks,
Linda

Answer 1

Also here you have several options...
1. you can make a PJC (bean) which include a webservice stub generated with axis (you can make a stub and also test a webservice with this tool: www.soapui.org)..
2. you can make a database webservice with JPublisher and then just call a pl/sql wrapper for this webservice
4. you can call a webservice with java api (HttpsURLConnection, HttpURLConnection or with apache HTTPClient api) from your PJC for example:
the code below is used as java stored procedure to call a .net webservice on https
