Can I use third party web services that communicate via http-post with webui builder?

Hi,
I have 5 computers (services) that are controlled via http-post. 3 of these services are implemented as labview webservices, 1 is labview socket (with python http-wrapper) and the last one is implemented with c# (lighttpd + cgi).
Can I use webui builder to controll all of them? Or, what is the simplest change so I can use webui builder?
What I would like to do, is to change the current javascript-UI to labview-webui. For the interfaces implemented with labview webservices, this is not a problem. For non-labview services, I don't know if it is even possible.
br,
Juha

To add to Mike's answer, the only caveat is that the server needs an appropriate clientaccesspolicy.xml file at the root level (http://yourserver/clientaccesspolicy.xml), or a completely open crossdomain.xml file, for the editor and built apps to be able to communicate with it. There's a help topic which explains this in the context of LV web services, but it's true for Web UI Builder to be able to communicate with arbitrary web servers also.
Since it sounds like you control all the web servers in question, it shouldn't be too difficult to get this file in place, though.

Configuring PI SSL for communicating with third-party web services

Hi,
I'm trying to load a COMODO certificate into a J2EE environment running in NetWeaver 7 (no enhancement packs), in order to connect to an external web service using SSL
I have been looking at this reference:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/a0/a5d13f83a14d21e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
and in this document (and many others i've read) it talks about requiring a server key pair to support SSL.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/f1/2de3be0382df45a398d3f9fb86a36a/frameset.htm
My question is - is there a way to use the self-signed root CA certificates instead of having to generate CSRs and sign certs? I ask this because it seems completely impractical to have to generate key pairs for each SAP installation that is required to access a third-party web service.
Furthermore, the SSL connection may only be for the web service and I'd rather not have to ask that the entire J2EE server is switched to SSL in order to make this secure connection. I've recently discovered the AXIS framework for the SOAP adaptor however I'm not familiar with it and can't identify whether you could use this for the SSL handshake and avoid having to a) generate certificate key pairs and b) switch your J2EE server to SSL
Does anyone have experience connecting to a third-party service using VeriSign, COMODO or Thawte certificates and can clear this up for me?
Regards,
John

Did you resolve your issue?
I´m posting some comments that maybe can help newer administrators facing similar doubts.
I´m using NW PI 7.1 EHP1 also and some interfaces were developed for using an external site providing web services through SSL (HTTPS) connection.
As in browser navigation, secure sites protected with SSL has a certificate emited by a international CA. We didn´t perceive the "handshake" in the most of cases because normally the web browser has a group of trusted CAs loaded on its certificate store.
With SAP PI and its WAS Java a similar procedure occurs with a small difference. The WAS Java didn´t have the trusted CAs loaded on KeyStorage. So, when the adapter tries to establishing a connection with an HTTPS site (it is a background process) a "handshake" is required to accepting the certificate and produces a error.
We completes the handshake importing the entire certificate chain (you can upload the site´s certificate to your browser and export it as file) on Keytore under the Trusted CAs view.
Hope this can help someone. It´s an "easy" part of SSL communication.
Now I´m trying to configure the inverse: Some third party consuming the PI web services using SSL. I have an additional component on inbound/ incoming connections that is the SAP Web Dispatcher.
The Help.sap.com is the reference but as always its a little difficult to find the (sequential) path following the links (go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go back, go back, go ahead)...

SOA Suite 11g calling external third party web service

Hi All,
Our SOA 11g application needs to communicate with an external third party web service (outside SOA composite and our 11g environment). Basically our SOA application will make a request based on date and the external web service will return a collection of data for that date.
Please suggest how do I achieve this. What inputs will I need from the external third party. I am using SOA 11.1.1.4
Thanks
Edited by: user5108636 on 10/05/2011 19:11

You will need the WSDL of the third party web service to be able to consume it. Based on the wsdl you can generate the request structure then invoke the service.
Also do check with them if there is security associated with the webservice like HTTPS, any soap header that need to be passed, etc ....
Based on this you will need additional configuration on your side.
Thanks,
Patrick

With Muse, can you use In-browser editing of websites using Third-party Hosting Service Providers or not?

On this page:http://www.adobe.com/inspire/2013/12/in-browser-editing-muse.html, it says you must use Adobes hosting. On this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/muse/using/in-browser-editing-websites-third-party-hosting.html, it indicates you can purely from the title. Which is it?

Hi Bob,
I found out how to do it, you drag the bounding box of the image container or rectangle to the edge of the browser boundary - as in the gray area around the edge - it snaps to it and the edges of the container go red to show this, and when its previewed it spans 100% of browser width. This video from Lynda explains how:

I have create a Adaptive webservice model .
1. selected the UDDI or URL option after decalring the model name and package.
2. Default metadata destination = ImgGen
3. Definig execution destination = Exec.
4. Entered the WSDL url AND GENERATED THE WEB SERVICES SUCCESSFULLY.( HTTP://(SERVERNAme):port/WSName/some.asmx?WSDL )
I HAVE DEFINED dYNAMIC PROXY USING vISUAL ADMIN.

Thanks Siva,
My version
Version: 7.0.09
Build id: 200608262203
I need to push my webdynpro application into QA system. so third party webservices also move to it's own QA system.
Now Once I need to move my code to QA the webservice should point to third party webservice's QA system.
This is the reason I am defining them in the Visual admin.
This works fine when I use without using default destiation metadata and execution .
Since I need to move them to QA and at the same time webservice host is also moving to its QA server, I need to change the reference so that my webdynro model points to the QA server where the webservice is pointing.
Please note WebAS QA server where my webdynpro for java program is depoloyed and the WEbservice is hosted in a different server and is a non SAP webservice.

Can I use third party Windows CE based touch panel to control my system?

I want to use a WindowsCE based touch panel to control my system by connecting a CompactDAQ to it through USB and installing the.exe file built from LabVIEW and installing the CompactDAQ drivers.
It sounds doable, but I don't know if WindowsCE does support those .exe files or the hardware drivers or if there is something I can do to make it support them. I hope anyone has an idea about this and can help me.
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found the following statement at :
LabVIEW Touch Panel Module Getting Started Guide
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5868
"The deployment procedures discussed previously for NI touch panels are not guaranteed to work for third party touch panels. If the use of a third-party touch panel is desired it must met certain requirements in order for the LabVIEW touch panel module to properly work with it.
The LabVIEW Touch Panel module only officially supports the two operating systems and two processors that the NI touch panel devices are based on. The operating systems supported are Windows CE 4.2/5.0 and Windows XP Embedded, while the supported processors include the StrongARM, XScale, and x86.
Another consideration when using a third-party touch panel is that a LabVIEW Touch Panel Deployment License must be purchased for each deployment of an application developed with the LabVIEW Touch Panel module.
In addition, specific Microsoft tools must be installed on the touch panel target in order for the LabVIEW Touch Panel application to function as expected. The following Microsoft eMbedded Visual Tools need to be installed:
Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ SP 4 or later
SDK for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs
Reference the Where Can I Find the Microsoft Tools I Need for the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module? knowledge base article to find links to the current Microsoft download sites."

Consuming third party web service in CE7.1.

Hi Experts,
I want to consume a third party webservice in NWDS 7.1. I have wsdl URL. Please help me by stating steps what all i need to do. Is there any doc/blog in place? While searching I came across a blog Link: [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/50d70a19-45a3-2b10-bba0-807d819daf46&overridelayout=true] but when i followed the stes, using wsd,l I am getting error right on first step. Also I tried creating a model directly using URL but I am getting an error "Unable to import the model". Do I need to create proxy class for it?
Thanks and Regards
Pranav

Hi Pranav,
if you get trouble importing a WS model via WSDL-URL, it often has one of the following reasons:
1. Eclipse does not have access to the URL. Easily happens within network environments. try ping <URL> from cmd to check if the wsdl is reachable. Workaround: download the wsdl and import from file
2. At least with 7.0 importing the wsdl started a new process in the background. If your user rights are insufficent, this may fail. Try importing with local admin rights.
Either way, you should have a log in c:temp.

hop that helps

Can't use an Axis web service with WLS 8.1 SP4

Greetings,
In order to simlify the problem, I have this very simple web service:
public class SimpleWS
public String toUpper (String s)
System.out.println ("We are in toUpper " + s);
return s.toUpperCase();
It works properly with Tomcat 5 but deployed in WebLogic Server 8.1 SP4 is giving NullPointerException. The client is the one generated by the wsdl2java task.
The exception is raised after having performed the System.out.println; on return.
I also noticed that it works if the input parameter is an empty string but it fails otherwise.
I modified the startup script in order to add Axis' saaj.jar in the begining of the CLASSPATH, but it doesn't seem to help.
Many thanks in advance for any help.

How can I use an java based app that starts via an inf or bat file?

I have java exe application that is started using a .bat file and a java exe application that is started using an inf file. Both the .bat and inf prevent the respective application from kicking off. Is there a way to convert these file types so that they execute on my MacBook?

I didn't expect you to have your customer run the command. I would expect you to create the executable and install it. However, there wouldn't be any difference in what you are creating and the .jar file. Either way it is a faceless icon. For that matter, it is no different than a batch file on Windows. I'm not sure what they wouldn't understand with, "copy the Vocab.jar file to wherever you want and double-click it to run the program." In addition, you probably ought to point out that Java is not installed on Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x) and when they double-click the jar file (or whatever you send them), the system will ask if they want to install Java.
What you really need to do is package up the app inside a Mac application package and provide the user with the application on a .dmg (disk image). Take a look here: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Java/Conceptual/Jar_Bundle r/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40000884
I also found this which uses ANT to create the bundle: http://informagen.com/JarBundler/

Third party web fonts service "integration"

Please make it possible for people who use other web fonts services than TypeKit in a more non annoying, hair puling approach.
I use Fontdeck, Fonts.com and Linotype, not TypeKit. And I have no issue with doing it manually by pasting <link> tag into the <head> of your web pages. Upload to FTP then download the site_global.css and paste font-family CSS rules into my site_global.css stylesheet.
All fine, if it meant only doing it one time, or when change font or style or weight etc. Then natually I accept going through the above steps again.
But every time I make a change to my site the .css its obviously overwritten and its back to Arial. So I end up doing this 8-10 minimum a day.
Please look to the way you have handled it in Dreamweaver. Or make checkbox in site properties telling i use “third party font service” leave the font-family tag ALONE! Or when upload to FTP promt me, asking if I want to change the font-family HTML tag in site_global.css… I know its a nasty solution. But i’m a software engineer. But even this would be better.
Please fix it. TypeKit is okay, but their (your) font catalogue is not that great to be honest.

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. We agree that a designer should be able to use any web font from any foundry/vendor/service in their Muse site. With Adobe Muse CC 2014.1 (released earlier today) we are a step closer to achieving that goal.
If any of the services you mention above support a "self-hosting" option, please give Adobe Muse CC 2014.1 a try. This update includes support for self-hosted web fonts; to use a specific font in your Muse site, you will need to install the system font (properly licensed for desktop use) and provide the corresponding web font files (properly licensed for use on a website).
Hope this helps.

Consuming 3rd Party Web Service - Proxy Generation Error

Hi All,
I am trying to consume a third party Web Service in SE80 and get the below error while completing the steps to configure proxy class.
"Exception Occurred in Configuration Handler"
Uninstantiated object "new child subject" in method
IF_SRT_WSP_SUBJECT_SERVICE~CREATE_BINDING of class CL_SRT_WSP_SUBJECT_SERVICE
The same web service when I try to import in Java it is fine. Has anyone encountered this issue?
Note: I tried both using URL and also saving as local file and its the same error message.
Thanks,
Nagarajan.
The Question is still open.
Edited by: Nagarajan Kumarappan on Oct 10, 2011 9:40 AM

The problem we had was with the web service itself. There were in multiple places we had few definitions repeated which caused the issue. Once we removed it we were good. Use altova xml free for 30 days to check your wsdl. It's great tool to identify issues.
Thanks and good luck !!!
