CFC web service function take only 16 arguments

Hi
I created a web service in coldfusion 9 (installed while ago and also installl update 9.0.1). All other cfc's works fine only one cfc that have two functions with more than 16 arguments that cause problem and gives error "Unable to read WSDL..." and 500 internal server error. When I remove arguments those more than 16, it works fine.
Any idea?
Thanks

Ok, while scowering the internet for more examples to help. I
see that i missed a very big step in not including the Operation
call. I modified my code to include it, but seems like everyones
examples are to simply get info from other sites and not
passmultiple variables. What am I missing my my code below. I need
to pass 4 varbales to the CFC (addOne, duration, action, VideoFile)
var trackerDAO:WebService = new WebService();
trackerDAO.wsdl =
"https://umm/prmc/videotrack/trackerDAO.cfc?wsdl";
trackerDAO.loadWSDL();
var operation:Operation = new Operation(null, "countIt");
operation.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, alertFault);
operation.request(addOne, results, action, source);
<---Wrong??
operation.send();

Problem with CFMX web service function return

I made a post yesterday about a web service function I was
writing, as it turns out my post was extremly incorrect for my
problem. With this web service function I can return an array just
fine, I can return one instance of an object just fine, however,
when I try to return an array of the object I keep getting the
error:
Could not perform web service invocation "SelectGames"
because AxisFault faultCode: {

which basically means that the CF server needs restarted.
However if I restart the CF server, no matter how many times I am
still getting this error. If I change up my web service function to
return just a normal array of integers or strings, or I change it
to return one instance of the arbritrary complex type it all works
just fine. I am still a little new on this subject and any
enlightenment would be great. If anyone has found a way around this
please let me know.
Here is my complex type:
<cfcomponent>
<cfproperty name="Game_id" type="numeric">
<cfproperty name="gameDate" type="date">
<cfproperty name="Starttime" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Place" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Level" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Sport" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Gender" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Opponent" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Type" type="string">
<cfproperty name="Link" type="string">
</cfcomponent>
I loop trhough a query and set a cfobject of the types above,
then I append that object to an array and try t o return the array.
Here is the basics of the loop:
<cfset theArray = arrayNew(1)>
<cfobject component = "games" name = "test>
<cfloop query ...>

<cfset arrayApend(theArray, test)>
</cfquery>
<cfreturn theArray>
my return type is array, I think the problem is I need to
specify the return type to be an array of arbritray complex types
which is impossible to do in CF. Anyone find a way to get around
this?? Any feed back at all would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I have tried it and return type any does not work in
this situation since this function is being consumed by a web
service. It needs to be in the form of an array of arbritrary type
that is defined in a cfc file. Since this is WSDL the returntype
has to be specified to every last bit.

Web service functions in SSO without username and password

Is there a way to use the Public Report Web Service functions when configured in SSO and without passing a username and password? I was able to try out the web service and make it work. As we all know, you need to pass a username and password for each web service call unless your reports can be accessed by guests. In an SSO + LDAP server configuration, there are cases in which you are not allowed to get the password. The password can not be decrypted.
Is there a way to still use web service? or do you need to use the url approach instead? But if you use the url approach then you may be limited to generating reports only.
I'm thinking there should be since if you are already logged in for SSO then you should be able to generate.
Any way to configure this?

<i>When I access web reports from bw.</i>
i hope you are not talking about BEX web reports , since you have mentioned ITS.
Is it a standlone ITS or intergrated ITS?
can you post the url pattern here.

Web Service function to return OracleDataReader

My current .Net code with ODP calls a data access layer function which returns an "OracleDataReader". We would like to test an alternate approach and call a web service function instead. When I try and create the Web Service function it does not allow me to specify "OracleDataReader" as the return since it gives an error that the function cannot be serialized since it "does not implement Add(System.Object).".
Is there an Oracle.DataAccess.Client alternative? Does this mean I have to return a "DataSet" since it is the only data structure which can be serialized?

this is pseudo c#
snippets of a class definition NB Note the Serializable decoration
#region ADPerson definiton
     [Serializable]
     public class ADPerson
#region ADPerson fields
private string _postCode;
          private string _deliveryOffice;
          private string _telephoneNumber;
#region ADPeople collection of ADPerson
     [Serializable]
     public class ADPeople : System.Collections.CollectionBase
          public int Add(ADPerson value)
This is in my web method
using AD = ADClasses;
#region main lookup method
          [WebMethod(Description = "Lookup in Active Directory")]
          public AD.ADPeople ADLookup(string strSearchCriteria, string strUser, string strPassword, string strDomain)
AD.ADPeople adPeople = new AD.ADPeople();
AD.ADPerson ap = new AD.ADPerson();
adPeople.Add(ap);
return adPeople;
Just make sure that your class(es) are serializable and return them from your web service. If you call the ser vice from a browser you will see your class as xml. If you call it from an app you can do something like
class c= callWebService(param);

Populating ComboBox with CFC web service return type query

I am just now learning Flex and am attempting my first app (I have been a CFer for years).
Anyway, I am attempting to build an AIR app in Flex that simply has a login with a form to submit information into a database.
Things are going ok, except I am stumped at something that I think should be simple...populating a combo box. I have a CFC (I am using CFCs as a web service to drive the app) that contains a method that simply returns a query. I want to use the results to populate the combo box display and value. I created the combo box and then dragged the method to the box to have FB create the code. It populates the list but with just [object Object]. This is a piece of cake in CF but I am not stumbling across the correct syntax in Flex. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Here is my current code.

Oracle Web Services Functions

is there a list of the functions that can be thrown to the web services api to retrieve say people's list of events for that day or a resource schedule?
Thanks

Hi,
If I understand correctly you question,
You would like to know if there is an API that would allow to get a user's information for a given date range (say today)?
At the moment it is only possible to get "your" list of meetings for a given date range. We are looking at adding such feature in a future release of the Calendar Web Services.
Also, the same answer apply to the resouce. You can't fetch a resource schedule at the moment.

Web service proxy take ~4 minutes to detect connection problem in AIX!

Dear All,
i am developing a client application that consume web service , by jdeveloper 10.1.3.1.
i found a problem, in AIX, that the web service proxy generated by jdeveloper take long time
to detect connection problem to the server (e.g. server is down, network down, invalid
ip address or port supplied).
in ms window, if the proxy can't reach the server, it throw exception within seconds.
but in ibm AIX, it take about 4 minutes !!! the time is too long until the exception is thrown.
could anybody help me?
is there something i can set to greatly shorten the hanging time when connection
problem?
thank you.

nobody experience this problem?

Question regarding a web service functionality in JDeveloper

Hi guys,
I used JDeveloper to create a very simple Celsius to Fahrenheit converter web service. One Java class, one method, taking in a float as an argument and returns a float. I created the web service. When I deployed it to a remote OC4J, I got a com.mysql.jdbc driver cannot be found error...which threw me off. As it turns out in the Connections tab, I had a node created under Databases for accessing MySQL that is installed on my machine. So it seems JDeveloper was trying to transfer those settings as well to the remote OC4J...when I deleted that node, the problem went away and the web service got deployed ok. Why is that? Is there any way to tell JDeveloper to ignore that and deploy the Web Service?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In the Preferences dialog's Deployment tab, the 'Bundle Default data-sources.xml During Deplyment' checkbox is checked by default. This file will define the data source for each defined database connection. Can you try unchecking this and try deploying the web service ?
Havent got a MySQL db connection myself to try reproducing, Will seearound if I get access to one to reproduce inthe meanwhile..

Web Service Function Permissions

Hi,
I am a fusion edge application developer and new to web service security.
I have a basic question about how I can set up functional security for a web service.
Our team has several simple web services, and I need to secure them by the privileges of the users.
One of our service has two policies defined: wss_username_token_service_policy (global) and binding_permission_authorization_policy (local).
I was expecting binding_permission_authorization_policy will check the user's privileges, which are defined in jazn-data.xml.
However, when I enable binding_permission_authorization_policy, all the users get "failure in authorization" error, and when I disable it, all the users are able to run the service successfully.
I must be missing something basic.
Would someone kindly help me how I can solve this issue?
The steps I followed:
1. In Jdeveloper, I defined WSFunction Permission in jazn-data.xml. As result, “TransactionServiceAMService#*” is granted to PAS_CREATE_TRANSACTION_WEB_SERVICE_DUTY.
2. PAS_CREATE_TRANSACTION_WEB_SERVICE_DUTY is allowed EDR_COMPLIANCE_BUSINESS_ANALYST_JOB, which is an Enterprise Role.
3. I deployed the change to the server.
4. In WLS, EDR_COMPLIANCE_BUSINESS_ANALYST_JOB is assigned to the user "Compliance Business Analyst".
5. In EM, two policies have been attached to TransactionServices: wss_username_token_service_policy (global) and binding_permission_authorization_policy (local).
6. I bounced the server.
7. I invoked the web service by using the user "Compliance Business Analyst".
8. "failure in authorization" error was received.
9. I disabled binding_permission_authorization_policy, bounced the server, and then invoked the web service again as "Compliance Business Analyst".
10. The service was completed successfully (it created a transaction record.)
11. Invoked the same service by using another user, who does not have EDR_COMPLIANCE_BUSINESS_ANALYST_JOB assigned.
12. The service was still completed successfully, which is wrong.
Thank you.

Hi, yea, thats is possible you can implement a Web Service directly from Oracle, you can review the next link for get more information how implement this service.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14377/web_serv.htm#HTMAD006
Please let me know if you needed more information about this implementation.

Trouble Calling Web Service Function From Runbook

i have downloaded the OrchestratorServiceModule web services module from CodePlex and i am successfully using it in runbooks. But for some reason when i call the runbook from another runbook, the Get-OrchestratorRunbook function returns no data
($runbook variable is $null). The error message states the runbook name that i provide "is not found in Orchestrator". This function works well when the runbook is called directly. The variables
are populated. $creds is set to $null. there are no errors regarding installing the module or finding the function. any ideas as to why this would succeed when the runbook is called directly but fail when called by another runbook?
$runbook = Get-OrchestratorRunbook -serviceurl $url -runbookpath $rbpath -credentials $creds

George,
The documented way to call a web service using PL/SQL is to use UTL_DBWS package.
Here are a couple of links that may be useful:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/utl_dbws10g.php
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/jsp/callout_users_guide.htm
There is also an APEX package wwv_flow_web_services, but I couldn't find any documentation on it.

HP LaserJet P1102w. I print the IP address in the address line and there is no tab for Web services.

HP LJ P1102w. want to sign on the HP web services. I print the IP add. in Explorer and I do not get Web services tab

Hi,
The Web Services functionality is only avaiable on later firmware versions,
Updating the firmware of the printer will add the functionality and the tab will become available.
Be sure to temporary plug the printer to your PC with a USB, then run the firmare updater below by selecting the newly added USB printer queue:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-115794-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Once the firmware update completes unplug the USB and follow the steps below to enable web services:

Web Services and Parameters - Problem

I have 2 web services I set up. One takes no parameters and
works fine. The
other takes arguments and it tells me the method cannot be
found. What am I
missing? What is the magic bullet to invoke a web service
that takes
arguments and have it work? I have all the web service's
arguments set to
'required="yes"' and I set up another 'no argument function'
in the
SearchProperty.cfc to make sure it also works and it did
fine, so I know the
web service exists and is accessible.
I tried both createObject in my contoller and cfinvoke. Both
work fine for
the web service that takes no arguments and neither work for
the one that
does.
Here is my controller blocks (please excuse the Model-Glue)
This works fine

<cffunction name="getCities" access="public"
returntype="void"
output="false" hint="I displays all the cities for the front
page">
<cfargument name="event" type="ModelGlue.Core.Event"
required="yes">
<cfset Cities = createObject("webservice",
http://74.86.90.210/realitorToolBox/model/webservices/CityGateway.cfc?wsdl")/>
<cfset allCities = Cities.getCities() />
<cfset arguments.event.setValue("getAllCities",
allCities)/>
</cffunction>
This cannot be found:

<cffunction name="SearchProperties" access="public"
returntype="void"
output="false" hint="I displays all the cities for the front
page">
<cfargument name="event" type="ModelGlue.Core.Event"
required="yes">
<cfset userID = 555555>
<cfset bedrooms =
arguments.event.getValue("bedrooms")/>
<cfset bathrooms =
arguments.event.getValue("bathrooms")/>
<cfset footage = arguments.event.getValue("footage")/>
<cfset minprice =
arguments.event.getValue("minprice")/>
<cfset maxprice =
arguments.event.getValue("maxprice")/>
<cfset basement =
arguments.event.getValue("basement")/>
<cfset garage = arguments.event.getValue("garage")/>
<cfset CITIES = arguments.event.getValue("CITIES")/>
<cfset Search = createObject("webservice",
http://74.86.90.210/realitorToolBox/model/webservices/SearchProperty.cfc?wsdl")/>
<cfset searchAll = Search.SearchProperty(#userID#,
#bedrooms#,
#bathrooms#, #footage#, #minprice#, #maxprice#, #basement#,
#garage#,
#CITIES#) />
<cfset arguments.event.setValue("Results",
searchAll)/>
</cffunction>
Any ideas? My client is getting anxious and I hope to offer
this service to
other developers to use for their client's site.

Ok, I will make this simplier. Couple questions.
Is it possible to use cfargument in a web service?
I looked at the samples out there and they all just have
queries that take a
form variable (#form.name#) since it was being passed by a
form.
Is it possible to have one web service function invoke
another function in
the same cfc?
If you have one function that calls another to first validate
the user and
then invoke another to get the search results, do all have to
be remote or
can you have the search be private since you dont want it
invoked remotely.
I.E.
<cffunction name="search" access="remote"
returntype="query">
<cfset authenticate = authenticateUser(#username#)>
<cfif authenticate EQ 'yes'>
<cfset myResults = searchProperty(#mlsnumber#)>
</cfif>
<cfreturn my Results>
</cffunction>
I tried a simple city search and tried to pass a variable
argument.
<cfinvoke
webservice="
http://74.86.90.210/realitorToolBox/model/webservices/CityGateway.cfc?wsdl"
method="findCity" city = "clinton" returnvariable="aQuery"/>to:
<cffunction name="findCity" access="remote"
returntype="query"> <cfquery name="getCities"
datasource="MLSListings"> Select city FROM residential WHERE
city = '#city#' </cfquery> <cfreturn getCities>
</cffunction>And I still get a function cannot be found, even
though I used the cfcexplorer to verify that it does exist on the
remote server.Any ideas?

Web Services int.java Problem

Hi, I'm totally new to Web Services can have a problem with JBuilder trying to generate a file named int.java from the WSDL. The WSDL is supplied by a TDA in my company and I've noticed that it has a few descriptions that include <restriction base="int"/>. When I import the WSDL and select the option to generate local server and then try to compile from the default generated files, it's looking for String.java (that's OK, even though it doesn't find it) and also int.java...which doesn't make sense to me, so it FAILS to compile properly. I've also noticed that there is a deployment file WSDD that has a type of "java:int" in it.
This may be a basic issue, but I'm new to Web Services this week so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Paul.

argument.
<cfinvoke
webservice="
http://74.86.90.210/realitorToolBox/model/webservices/CityGateway.cfc?wsdl"
method="findCity" city = "clinton" returnvariable="aQuery"/>to:
<cffunction name="findCity" access="remote"
returntype="query"> <cfquery name="getCities"
datasource="MLSListings"> Select city FROM residential WHERE
city = '#city#' </cfquery> <cfreturn getCities>
</cffunction>And I still get a function cannot be found, even
though I used the cfcexplorer to verify that it does exist on the
remote server.Any ideas?

Web Services and Nested Complex Types

I am having troubles trying to get coldfusion to use a web
service function.
I know that the web service works as I am sending another
function in a simple variable and receiving a simple variable. I
know the function exists as I when I dump the object the function
is there and I have been told by who supplies it that it works in
other languages.
The problem I am having is that when I call the function I
get the following error: Web service operation "[function name]"
with parameters [parameters] could not be found. I am lead to
believe that it may have to do with the fact that one of the
parameters is a complex type with nested complex types, because of
the amount of trouble it took to get nested complex types to
(apparently) work.
Has anyone had this problem before and/or know how to fix
it?

You can invoke methods which take complextypes as parameters.
The idea is to create first a structure which represents the
complextype. For example; crit = structNew(), crit.paramname1 =
value1, ctir.paramname2 = value2. After this, you just pass the
structure
crit as a parameter value, for example with
<cfinvokeargument>.
Always check the wsdl and the possible documentation
carefully. You'll get always an error if the types of the
parameters passed didn't match exactly to what was expected.
Handling complextype responses is also possible, but not very
elegant with ColdFusion.
For example, you have <cfinvoke
returnvariable="wsResult"... >, and you get a java object as a
response which you can really do nothing about with CF functions,
you must use Java Reflection API to extract the values.
<cfset oFields =
wsresult.getClass().getDeclaredFields()>
<cfoutput>
<cfloop from="1" to="#arraylen(oFields)#" index="fi">
<cfset field = oFields[fi].getName()>
<cfif isdefined("wsresult." & field) AND field NEQ
"typedesc">
#field# = #wsResult[field]#<br>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
The above is just an example, and It might work with only
some types of complextype responses. But it's a start. :)
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00553.html
is also another example about handling complextype responses. It
plays "safer", not relying that CF can extract values without
"getters" automatically, and is more of a complete solution.

Newbie question about the viability of web services.

Hello All,
I have never dealt with web services, and have only cursory knowledge of the technology, so forgive my ignorance in advance.
I have a situation that I wonder if Web Services might help me solve.
I have built a Java/JSP application that resides on a server that is inside our firewall. It has been successful, and management wants to make the data and functionality available to our customers outside the firewall.
The problem is that our organization tightly controls the "public" applications. And the UI for my system does not meet their standards. Nor will they punch a hole in the firewall to allow access to my server.
The solution we have been working on is to create a new UI using their approved methods, and copy the needed java classes to the "public" server.
As you can see, if I do this, I will have to maintain two instances of the same class on two different servers.
Can I avoid this by using web services to make those classes available to other applications from my internal server?
Thanks in advance for your help.
James.

The solution we have been working on is to create a
new UI using their approved methods, and copy the
needed java classes to the "public" server.
As you can see, if I do this, I will have to maintain
two instances of the same class on two different
servers. Okay, first, yes - webservices can help you if you MUST maintain two seperate UI's for some reason using the same backend data code or if you want to provide a datafeed only to your external users. It will take care of having to maintain seperate but identical class files, but it will create other overhead such as interfacing the existing files and the like, but if you must enable the UI then you will have two versions of this to maintain. If you are looking to just enable the data feeds and not the UI then it would seem a very logical fit.
If you must maintain the UI, then why can't you convert your app over to the approved UI and host it on the "public" server for all users (internal and external)? Then you only have one set of data to maintain - period and webservices aren't necessary. If you proceed with either your current implementation or even with a webservices based implementation, you will have at least two seperate UI's to maintain as well as whatever the resulting support code - be it webservice interfaces to existing code or replicates of existing code - to also maintain.

CFC web service function take only 16 arguments
