Convert my web service to processus Bpel graphically

Hi,
Can you suggest me an article or I can turn my web service to BPEL graphically, because I have complicated web of service and I am just starting out in BPEL.I use ORACLE BPEL MANAGER with JDEVELOPER.
Best regards,

I think you can use oracle web services manager for this. I can't speak from personal experience but from what I've heard I think this is the preferred approach for dealing with secured web services.

Error while invoking a WS-Security secured web service from Oracle BPEL..

Hi ,
We are facing some error while invoking a WS-Security secured web service from our BPEL Process on the windows platform(SOA 10.1.3.3.0).
For the BPEL process we are following the same steps as given in an AMIS blog : - [http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1607/how-to-call-a-ws-security-secured-web-service-from-oracle-bpel]
but sttill,after deploying it and passing values in it,we are getting the following error on the console :-
“Header [http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing:Action] for ultimate recipient is required but not present in the message”
Any pointers in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi James,
Thanks for the quick reply.
We've tried to call that web service from an HTML designed in Visual Studios with the same username and password and its working fine.
But on the BPEL console, we are getting the error as mentioned.
Also if you can tell me how to set the user name and password in the header of the parter link.I could not find how to do it.
Thanks,
Saurabh

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">*
*<detail>javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: An Authentication object was not found in the SecurityContext</detail>*
*</part>*
*<part name="code">*
*<code>soap:Server</code>*
*</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..

Best Practice for Securing Web Services in the BPEL Workflow

What is the best practice for securing web services which are part of a larger service (a business process) and are defined through BPEL?
They are all deployed on the same oracle application server.
Defining agent for each?
Gateway for all?
BPEL security extension?
The top level service that is defined as business process is secure itself through OWSM and username and passwords, but what is the best practice for security establishment for each low level services?
Regards
Farbod

It doesnt matter whether the service is invoked as part of your larger process or not, if it is performing any business critical operation then it should be secured.
The idea of SOA / designing services is to have the services available so that it can be orchestrated as part of any other business process.
Today you may have secured your parent services and tomorrow you could come up with a new service which may use one of the existing lower level services.
If all the services are in one Application server you can make the configuration/development environment lot easier by securing them using the Gateway.
Typical probelm with any gateway architecture is that the service is available without any security enforcement when accessed directly.
You can enforce rules at your network layer to allow access to the App server only from Gateway.
When you have the liberty to use OWSM or any other WS-Security products, i would stay away from any extensions. Two things to consider
The next BPEL developer in your project may not be aware of Security extensions
Centralizing Security enforcement will make your development and security operations as loosely coupled and addresses scalability.

Error creating web service proxy for bpel process in jdev 10.1.3

Hi,
I am trying to create a web service proxy in Jdeveloper 10.1.3, and get the following error:
Element type "fault" is missing required attribute "name"
I have created a fault on one of the operations, and in the .wsdl file there is a name attribute:
<operation name="process">
<fault name="TestError" message="client:TestErrorMessage"/>
</operation>
The fault definition in the .wsdl obtained from the process when you access it over http is somewhat different:
<fault>
<soap:fault name="TestError" use="literal" encodingStyle="" />
</fault>
Any ideas how to workaround this problem?

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?
Edited by: 901765 on 12.12.2011 06:01

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!

Suggestions for Chunking Large Outbound Web Service Messages from BPEL

We have a problem today when Oracle EBS sends a large amount of data to BPEL, BPEL processes that data and then attempts to pass that data as a web service via a partner link to the PeopleSoft integration broker. When the message is too large ( > 10,000 records or so) we are hitting some issues on the PeopleSoft web server side being unable to receive that large of a message.
"allocLargeObjectOrArray - Object size: 32768016, Num elements: 8192000"
We are considering adjusting the BPEL program to chunk the outbound data being sent to PeopleSoft. The idea would be to use some type of loop and just break after so many lines, transmit the current message and then start a new message.
The PeopleSoft integration broker has a setting, for outbound type integrations, that can enable an automated chunking feature called ‘Max App Message Size’. I was wondering, does BPEL have a similar configuration setting that might provide this feature? I’m dreaming up that this could be a property of the partner link object that could allow you to specify a certain ‘max size’ and then it would just know to start a new message at that threshold. That might avoid us having to make any additional BPEL code changes at this point.
Currently using version 11.1.1.1.
Any advice, much appreciated.

Ken

Converting C# Web Service to Java

Greetings All.. I am now coding in Java (from c#) and have a question about web services..
I am trying to figure out the below C# syntax in Java... Essentially, in all of my C# web services I would code classes for each method and would call them:
Example web services file:
[WebMethod(Description = "some description.")]
public SellSomething sellSomething(Int32 transactionId, Int32 customerId, string assetId, int assetPrice)
return new SellSomething(Int32 transactionId, Int32 customerId, string assetId, int assetPrice);
The C# class file, SellSomething.cs, would look like this:
public class SellSomething
private Int32 _transactionID = 0;
private Int32 _customerId = 0;
private string _assetID = String.Empty;
private int _assetPrice = 0;
private int _resultCode = 0;
public SellSomething()
public SellSomething(Int32 transactionId, Int32 customerId, string assetId, int assetPrice)
_transactionID = transactionID;
_customerId = customerId;
_assetID = assetID;
_assetPrice = assetPrice;
sellSomething();
public int resultCode
get
return _resultCode;
set
_resultCode = value;
public void sellSomething()
// logic here
_resultCode = SOME VALUE
I code my web services in this way to better organize and simplify the code. any assistance is appreciated.
thank you in advance.
Chris

That wont work. Just read a chunk of data, and check if it contains a null character (0x0). That would be the end of your C string. Now convert all the data before that to a java String with this constructor:
String(byte[] bytes, int off, int len)It will by default assume UTF8 encoding if I'm correct.
If you have larger chunks of text, you can use a ByteArrayOutputStream to buffer the complete string, and just read chunks of data into them until you've read the to the null character. and then do the same as above with the data in the ByteArrayOutputStream (toByteArray() ).

Using a Java Web Service in a BPEL Process

Hello.
I am newie with Oracle Soa Suite and BPEL process and i have problems. I have developed a Java Web Service, first developing the Java Class and then using the wizard to create a Java Web Service.
Now i want to develope a BPEL Process that use this Java Web Service. I have tried it with the component Partnert Link from de palette and looking for the java web service wsdl file. I have tried it with the component Java Web Service from the palette. In both of them, it happens the same, it appears erros looking for the wsdl or looking for something that the wsdl use. If someone could try it. Its easy. Create a Java class with one simple method. Create A java web service with the wizard. Then create a BPEL process and try to use it with a partner link.
I have been trying it one week...
Thank you in advance.

Hi
You can use a java web service to publish a Web service from a Java class.
A wizard creates the WSDL document and deployment files needed to publish your code as a Web service. After you select the class and methods you want to publish, the wizard generates deployment descriptors, a JAX-RPC mapping file, and a WSDL document that can be deployed to an application server.
You can refer : \bpel\samples\tutorials\102.InvokingProcesses\ws sample to invoke a WS using JAX-RPC Call.
Hope that helps!
Cheers

How to call a secure external Web Service using Oracle BPEL and OWSM

Hi,
i have to invoke an external secure Web Service using SOA Suite 10.1.3.1, but i don´t know how to do this. Do i use OWSM gateway or Agent? how to configure the gateway or agent to pass the required security to the external secure web service.
thanks in advance

Are you getting any errors? What type of XAI Class are you using?
One thing I've noticed is that if you are making changes to the XAI Sender you will have to restart the environment before the changes can take effect.
Also, if you are using RTHTTPSNDR as XAI Class you may have to include the HTTP Method - Post in the context.
Hope this helps.

Convert a web service which has userid/password hard coded......

Hi,
We have created a web service in our ECC 5.0 abap system. In SICF we hardcoded the userid/password, the web service works fine and can be called successfully to read the required data from SAP.
Now we wish to change the process so that the users calling the web service have to pass their userid/password, now things don't work!!
How do we change things around to the new format?
Options we are considering are as follows:
1) Change the function module so that it has import parameters of userid and password (don't think this will work!)
2) Somehow update the wsdl file so that it includes userid/password, is this possible?
3) SICF/wsconfig/wsadmin config, but don't know what to do though!!
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks.

> Now we wish to change the process so that the users calling the web service have to pass their userid/password
1. Do you want to have authorize access to webservice or,
2. do you want to user supply user/password as a parameter within service.
for 1st you don't have to do anything just goto SOAMANAGER transaction and select basic http authentication for service endpoint. Every user who want to access (even url of wsdl) need to supply user/password.
for 2nd option you can integrate user/password field in FM but you need to include code which check and confirm if they are valid credential.

Error in Invoking External Web Service in BPEL

Hello,
I have a Temperature Conversion Web Service deployed on an external server.
I want to invoke this Web Service in my BPEL process.
I got the wsdl loacation of the Web Service as "http://webservices.daelab.net/temperatureconversions/TemperatureConversions.wso?WSDL" and then in my workspace, I created a Web Service out of that WSDL.
My idea was to create a web service out of that WSDL and then to deploy that web service on SOA server so that i can invoke that deployed service in my BPEL process, but when i am creating a web service out of that WSDL , and trying to test the webservice in my local oc4j, i am gettting a fault exception.
Am i doing anything wrong ? Is there any other alternative to call a external web service in BPEL?
Thanks
Nutan

Hi,
you are on the wrong track....
Open your BPEL. Put the http://webservices.daelab.net/temperatureconversions/TemperatureConversions.wso?WSDL into a PartnerLink and wire an invoke against this PartnerLink....
Put the parameters via assign into the variables.
Done...
Why do you want to create an interal webservice and invoke this one via BPEL? Do you want to invoke the external webservice from the internal one?

Invoking Asynchronous Web Service from BPEL Process

Hi,
I have been working on the BPEL Process Manager for some time and now facing problem in invoking asynchronous web service from a BPEL Process. I have implemented a web service in Java using Axis but wasn't able to invoke it.
I have gone through all the meterial available on this site but couldn't get any great help.
Can some one help me in resolving this issue. A pointer to any example or sample material/tutorial will be appreciated.
thanks
Farooq

I do the same thing.
Take wsdl from axis and save it somewhere.
Then you can create a standard project in Oracle BPEL PM. Create partnerlink, give a name and click on first icon to take your wsdl. It will add some needed code, you answer always yes. Then you can create receive, assign, invoke, assign and callback or similar and deploy it.
Try it through BPEL Console...
