Configuring WLS to invoke a web service on SSL

Hi,
It will be really helpful if I get some pointers on this. Stuck with this without any progress. I havent experimented too much working with Certificates and so on...
I have a web service on my WLS...This has to invoke an external web service (provided by a third party).
They have given me a url for WSDL.
.p12 certificate - privateKeyEntry
.cer certificate - trustCertEntry
In my browser(IE), to display the WSDL page, I had to import this .p12 certificate in the "Personal" tab and .cer certificate in the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" tab. It works !! I can see the WSDL.
Now I have to do a equivalent setting in WLS so that my WS invokes the external WS. I can test this with the Weblogic Test Client for my WS.
This is what I thought I had to do.
Configure Custom Identity and Custom Trust in WLS.
Custom Identity - directly used the .p12 file and specified type as PCKS12 with a password. That seems OK.
Custom Trust - Since I didnt think I could use .cer file, I imported this certificate into .jks file using the below command
keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias mykey -keystore mytrust.jks -file TestRootCert.cer -keyalg RSA
configured this .jks file as a custom truststore.
In the SSL tab, specified the alias name that existed in the PrivateKeyEntry(.p12 file) assuming this is used to identify myself to the external WS.
Set -Dssl.debug=true -Dweblogic.StdoutDebugEnabled=true in the WLS startup file just to see some more additional info.
When I invoke the external WS using the WLS test client, this is how the output on console looks..(sorry, had to edit some stuff related to company names etc.)

If I understood rite, the external server is sending some certificates which is not there in the WLS trust store. Is this correct?
Also tried to get these certificates into the truststore using the InstallCert.java utility class, but then I get a 403:Forbidden.
So I have no clue at the moment. Basically, my WLS acts as a client to the external WS rite? so this is a one-way SSL. IS that correct?
Can you help with some pointers please?
best regards,
Murali

Web Service Proxy client to invoke a Web service on SSL (Jdev 10.1.3.1)

Hi,
I have to develope a Web Service proxy client to invoke a web service on SSL. First I'm testing with OC4J 10.1.3.1 and JDEV 10.1.3.1 and did this:
1) Developed a basic PL/SQL Web Service with JDEV and publish on my standalone OC4J.
2) Made a test with a browser, it worked OK
3) Generated a proxy client from JDev 10.1.3.1 to invoke web service, it worked OK
--- Now make it work on SSL----
4) Then, added SSL configuration to oc4j , generated a certificate with keytool (updated server.xml, secure-web-site.xml), and shutting down and starting the OC4j instance.
5) Import the certificate to JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts
6) Test web service from browser on https and worked OK.
7) When tried to modified proxy client (generated in step 3) to make it work on SSL, I realized that just changing the END_POINT to the new url (https) it worked!
Questions----
1.- By default the proxy client generated from JDEV 10.1.3.1 knows how to deal with SSL conections?
2.- If I dont have previously the server certificate to import it into JAVA keystore (cacerts) how could I ,from proxy client code, capture it and import it before the validation occurs... because if the certificate is not in keystore , the program fails.
Thanks in advance
J.

Hi,
Could you please provide me with the steps necessary to create a web service proxy client through JDeveloper or any other mechanism when 2 way SSL (requiring client authentication) is enabled.
Thanks a lot in advance

Problem invoking a web service from soa11g BPEL.

Hi ,
I am trying to invoke a web service from soa bpel 11g composite.
We have the wsdl, wsdl URL of the web service along with the user name , password credentials.
Initially w/o any WS policy attached and testing the composite, it fails with the below message
*<fault>*
*<bpelFault>*
*<faultType>0</faultType>*
*<remoteFault>*
*<part name="summary">*
*<summary>An Authentication object was not found in the SecurityContext</summary>*
*</part>*
*<part name="detail">*

*</part>*
*</remoteFault>*
*</bpelFault>*
*</fault>*
*<faultType>*
*<message>0</message>*
*</faultType>*
*</messages>*
So I have gone back to the composite and added the WS policy (oracle/wss_username_token_client_policy) by Right clicking on web service -> Configure WS Policy -> Security -> oracle/wss_username_token_client_policy -> OK.
After this I have added the following binding properties 'oracle.webservices.auth.username' , 'oracle.webservices.auth.password' with the respective values and deployed it again.
Even then I face the same issue. I have looked into the EM console and found the HTTP username and password properties were blank for this Web service even though the WS policy was attached.
Later I have tried editing the username pwd from the EM console, only to find out that the composite was now failing in the previous step (an ordinary db adapter with a select statement) even before it reaches the web service invocation.
If I redeploy the composite, the http username and pwd properties in the EM console are erased and when i test it, it errors out at the web service invocation with the same issue again.
Any pointers on how to solve this issue ??
How can I figure out what is the security policy the web service is using ??
Regards,
Shiva Kiran

Hi,
Can anyone help me with this ??
I guess I am not able to send the authorization credentials via the request to the web service invocation.
Plz help ! This is a bit urgent..

Issues in invoking a web service from a JAVA/BPEL client...

We are trying to invoke a web service from a JAVA/BPEL client using org.apache.soap classes. But everytime we are running into issues of IllegalAccessError or InvalidClassError or IncompatibleClassError based on different jars we are trying to include in our project. Attached is a simple BPEL project which tries to invoke a web service through JAVA embedding (no supporting jars need to be included explicitly). It erros with following trace:
Class org/apache/soap/Envelope violates loader constraints
     Invalid class: org.apache.soap.Envelope

Could you please help us out or provide any pointers. Any help would be highly appreciated

Because you weren't told what to get, perhaps you already have it eh?
What you want to read up about is JAX-WS, which is the webservice API bundled by default with your JDK (Java 6 and up). You'll find the wsimport tool in the bin directory of your JDK. I recommend you explore that directory and read up about all the executables you can find there, to be more prepared in the future. Know the tools you work with and all that. Most tools have a manual on this website:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/index.html
(under tools and utilities). Not wsimport, that is part of the jax-ws documentation. Better you look for jax-ws tutorials using Google, it will be quicker.

User Name and Password in weblogic realm while invoking a web service

Hi,
I deployed a rpc web service using WLS 7.0 SP2 in HP-UX 11 environment. When I
invoke the web service through my browser (IE 6.0) using the web services url,
it brings my service method correctly. From there, if I click the invoke button
it asks me for a network user name and password under "weblogic" realm??? If I
provide the admin user credentials (which I supplied while creating my domain)
it is not accepting that it keeps popping up this network user password window
over and over. Not sure which username/password I have to provide here to see
the result of my service.
If I try to invoke the web service through my client (static) I am getting a connection
refused exception. I guess either way, I am not able to access my web service.
In the attached file, I have cut and pasted the client stack trace as well as
the server log trace from weblogic.
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ganesh
[errorstacktrace.txt]

I think the client is not able to do a HTTP POST
to the WLS server but it can do a HTTP GET.
I dont know why.

Invoking a Web Service using XI 2.0

Hi all,
I am attempting to create a scenario where an SAP application invokes a web service through XI 2.0.
I have created an ABAP proxy to allow my ABAP to start the call process and have set up the message interfaces within the Integration Directory.
I want XI to receive a call from this proxy and then act as the client to an existing Web Service.. calling it and bringing back a response... but it doesn't look like I can import the existing WSDL as a I would have expected.
So... instead I have exported the Message Interface for the "out of XI" portion of the interface as a WSDL and have asked the Web Service provider to amend their service according to this XI generated WSDL.
My difficulty now is how to use the SOAP adapter. Within the Integration Directory I presumably need to define the endpoint with XI Connectivity but I am not sure how to fill in the URL address of the SOAP adapter...
Any help on how to configure the actual SOAP adapter to fulfill this requirement would be great too.
I have looked around the boards to see if I could work this out from previous posts but without success so far.
It's a synchronous scenario and basically should look like...
ABAP Proxy->XI->SOAP Adapter->Web Service->XI->ABAP Proxy
Many thanks,
Gordon

Hi Gordon,
here is an example for SOAP-Adapter config:
# Bubble adapter java class
classname=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleBubble
# Sets the bubble module helper that can instantiate your bubble bag
Bubble.Helper=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleBubbleHelperXMBWSImpl
###### Part 0 (FromWS and ToWS) : common part ######
# Keeps the XMB headers in web service messages
XMBWS.KeepHeaders=false
# Encodes the xmb headers into a special HTTP header string x-xmb_ws_encoded
XMBWS.UseEncoded=false
# The target URL for the web service, to which the adapter sends web service messages.
# The address is part of the WSDL
XMBWS.TargetURL=http://www.extensio.com:8080/ExtensioInfoServer/servlet/rpcrouter
# Proxy configuration from SAP
XMBWS.proxyHost=PrOxY
XMBWS.proxyPort=8080
# The port and path where the adapter waits for XMB messages from clients.
XMBWS.XMBPort=8400
XMBWS.XMBPath=/soap/stockquote
# The default SOAPAction HTTP request header to the web Service server
# The SoapAction is part of the WSDL
XMBWS.DefaultSOAPAction=
Of course you have to set URL, proxy and SOAP-action to your belongings.
You define the endpoint as:
"http://<Adapter-Server>:<XMBPort><XMBPath>"
in this example:
"http://localhost:8400/soap/stockquote"

Hi,
I don't think it is failing due to access issue, I think it is failing because one of the parts is NOT configured to use WS-AT (WS-Atomic Transactions)...

Why did you add this?

Issue: BPEL invoking Axis web service

Hi
We are calling a Axis web service from BPEL.. The web service has been defined to be a request only 1 way service. The axis service takes around 3-5 minutes to complete the job( data insertion in DB).. But seems like when BPEL invokes the web service; BPEL thread is waiting (thread is not released) and the BPEL process does not move forward until the web service completes the job....
Any pointers on how the deal with the issue will be helpful!!
Thanks

Hi Lovenish,
Goto console-> select domain> Configuration->JTA
Check timeout seconds.
2. i don't know what kind of partner link you are invoking.
check composite.xml, is there any property like retry.interval .
3. ◦SyncMaxWaitTime: The maximum time a request and response operation takes before timing out.
The maximum time a request/response operation will take before it times out. The default value is 45 seconds.

anybody knows Please let me know the soln.
thanks in advance
the error:

1. Does your network have a proxy ? - if so, configure the proxy details in the SOAP adapter.
2. Does the WS expect any credentials? - if so configure the same in the adapter.

I've developed a webservice application using Rational Application Developer (RAD). I deployed it in a websphere 6.1 application server, using the administration console to import the war file that I had previously exported with RAD.
My webservice application is listed in the "Enterprise Applications" section of websphere's administration console as started.
My question is: how can I invoke the web service manually? Is there some kind of websphere generated webpage that I can use to call it manually?
I tried http://<server:port>/<contextroot> and http://<server:port>/<contextroot>/<servicename> in a webbrowser, but it doesn't work. Is it possible to invoke the web service manually, or do I need to develop a client?
Thanks in advance
Pedro

Hi Bo Wang,
    Go to the Portal -> System Administration -> System Configuration
                           -> Portal Content folder
                           -> Open Visual Composer folder
    There you can see the Webservice Systems you have created through VC.
You can delete the unwanted system here.

Extra Tag Getting Added while invoking a Web service

Hi all,
We are facing an issue while trying to invoke a web service. We are assigning values to invoke input variable of the invoke. The issue is that while invoking an Extra element named “input” is getting added.
For Eg: The required one is
<messages>
<invoke_Webservice_Input>
Payload
</invoke_Webservice_Input>
</messages>
But what is getting passed is :
<messages>
*<input>*
<invoke_Webservice_Input>
Payload
</invoke_Webservice_Input>
*</input>*
</messages>
Due to this, the invoke is failing and we are not able to proceed. The error which we are getting is "*exception on JaxRpc invoke: unexpected null*"
If any has faced similar issues, please share your experience.
PS: The same wsdl is working in other environments. only thing we changed is the Endpoint URI and that endpoint URI is also accessible.
Thanks
Mohan

can u re import the wsdl into the process and then change the endpoint uri... undeploy the previous process.. bounce the server and then deploy the new process and try

Unexpected element name: expected error while invoking external web service

Hi,
In JDeveloper when I invoke external web service call, I am getting following exception
"unexpected element name: expected=..."
But the same application works fine in .NET. Can someone help me as to why I am getting the exception only in JDeveloper and how to fix this exception.
Thanks.

Hi,
Without more information, it will be hard to help, and tell you what could be teh issue.
Usually, this kind of error occurs when the payload and the WSDL schema are out of sync, for example if the order of the element on the wire do not match the order in a sequence declaration, you may get this error.
In such case, .NET handle the XML as if it was a 'all' -- no specific order -- and deserialize the message properly.
Hope this helps,

Invoking a web service from jcd

hi all,
Is there any built-in class in CAPS5.1 for invoking a web servervice from jcd directly. Or is there any some other automation/mechanism to achieve the same, plz provide me any sample code avilable for the same.its very urgent for me.
Thanks

Hello rss,
If you want to invoke a web service from a JCD you will have to build the SOAP message using JAX-RPC or AXIS and then programmatically creat an HTTP connection.
Or you can leverage the HTTP(S) eWay and then you only have to build the SOAP message.
Or use eInsight. You can import a WSDL into eInsight and eInsight will offer you a business process Activity to invoke the web service operations defined in the WSDL.

Invoking a web service from dynamic client in weblogic 7

Is it possible to invoke a webservice from dynamic client in weblogic 7. Because i tried and it doesn't work. But it works with WL 8.1
I don't see any samples on the net for weblogic 7.

10g: Invoking a web service asynchronously from BPEL

Hello,
I am trying to figure out a good, generic method for making a previously synchronous web service asynchronous and changing the way in which it is invoked from BPEL. I am using SOA Suite 10g (10.1.3.5)
As I understand, one possible method to achieve this is to use IDeliveryService.post() to deliver the web service's response to the BPEL process. For this route, the standard practice of correlation seems to be to supply a correlation Id when invoking the web service and returning the same correlation id as a part of the web service's response message. However, I want to avoid this since it would mean that all response messages from the web service (10+) would have to be modified to include a correlationId, which is problematic in the special case of this web service. Including a correlationId in the request message is possible, however.
I have tried the approach of using the conversation Id directly instead of the correlation Id, by reading the value of ora:getConversationId(), passing this to the web service and setting the property CONVERSATION_ID of the response NormalizedMessage to the same value when returning. However, I cannot seem to get this approach right. Is this possible at all?
An alternative might be to use WS-Addressing, but I do not know if I can make the web service support this - it is written using the EJB WebService-Annotations feature and runs on OC4J as well.
Do you have any suggestions on how this problem could be resolved?

I have found the following tutorial that implements something similiar to what I am trying to do: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/odi/10g/10135/odiscenario_bpelcallback/odiscenario_bpelcallback.htm#t3
Because of this, I am now confident that the conversation IDs can be used to achieve correlation. I have implemented the pattern by performing
an invoke activity on the web service, passing the result of ora:getConversationId() as part of the message. The conversation Id returned is of UUID-Form.
After the invoke activity, I have added a pick activity to receive the response message supplied by the web service through IDeliveryService.post(...). I can see that the message is received correctly by loooking at the contents of DLV_MESSAGE. However, the pick activity times out every time (after 10m). Looking at DLV_SUBSCRIPTION reveals that the conversation_id for the pick/receive activity is set to a value of the form bpel://localhost/default/MyBpelProcessName~1.0/7610001-BpInv0-BpSeq2.7-2. As far as I know, this should instead be set to the UUID that ora:getConversationId() returned before performing the invoke activity. What is going wrong here?
Thanks for your help!
