Create Web Services and return a complex type with ADF

Hello,
I've tried tried using ADF BC and service interface to create a Web service, this works well, but I needed to return more complex data types, such as a list of person objects (name, last name, ...), as I reviewed in the ADF BC service interface can return only some types of data :(
Anyone know how I could do this using ADF BC, or how else do you recommend
thanks

SQL Server 2008 Reporting Project - Invoke/Consume Web Service and Return Dataset in C# Code-Behind

Hello,
I have a Visual Studio 2010 C# class with a method that invokes/consumes a web service and returns an XML dataset. I am traversing through the parent/child nodes and parsing out the data then inserting it into a SQL Server 2008 R2 table for a join within
another stored procedure.
Instead of using a 3rd party API to generate the PDF for this data, I am creating an SSRS report. The formatting will be easier and I can do a RenderFormat directly to PDF.
Can I expect to be able to transfer the code-behind method to this report and have it be able to work with the web service the same way? It is a SOAP-based web service returning parent nodes and two levels of nested child nodes.
I have also been researching the approach of calling the web service in the same stored procedure that is currently querying the physical tables (which is used to populate a gridview and PDF) but it looks like it may only be possible with a CLR stored procedure.
Is it possible to implement a CLR stored procedure within an SSRS report?
Hope this makes sense. Any help, suggestion or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Buster

Hi Buster,
SSRS supports web service data source, we can call the SOAP-based web service in SSRS report directly. Then, we can use custom code in SSRS to parse the XML data. However, we won’t be able to join another data in SQL Server database.
Reference:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964129(v=sql.90).aspx#repservxmlds_topic3
We cannot implement a CLR stored procedure within an SSRS report directly. In order to execute the CLR store procedure in a SSRS report, we have to execute it as text using the following code:
Exec <stored procedure name>
Reference:
http://dotnetslackers.com/Community/blogs/bmains/archive/2009/01/15/executing-a-clr-stored-procedure-in-reporting-services.aspx
Hope this helps.

How to make a PDF form call Web service and return a static pdf for user to print?

Hi all,
Can anyone help me regarding the feasibility of using PDF forms for my following case?
I would like to create a Dynamic pdf form. User only have the Acrobat reader. they can enter some information. Then have a submit button. when user click the submit button, it can call the web service with data. then Web service returns a Static PDF document based on data and the user can print it out. (and maybe save as separate pdf file)
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Thanks a lot

We have done a similar approach in the past and yes, it can be doable.
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
Srini: We have developed a Servlet to talk to Webservice. Based on the Webservice response, the Servlet, prepares the Byte stream and sends it to Webbrowser to display as a PDF. The PDF data was submitted to Servlet in XML format.
But if you do not want to use the above approach, then you have to use the Workbench Process.
Submit the PDF data to a Workbench process and the inside process, execute Webservice Service with the data. Once the response is received, prepare the data XML and render a PDF with it.
To do this, you need LiveCycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
Srini: If you want to use the Servlet, you can Reader extend the PDF with Acrobat.. But if you want to submit the data directly to Webservice, then you need Reader Extensions server component.
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
Srini: Not sure but Reader 8 and above should work.
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, then you can re-use the same webservice. But if you want to submit directly to the same webservice, you may need to change it to suit your data XML.
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, you do not need any server component but other approach, you need Livecycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
Thanks
Srini

Hi Mou,
I just tried your win app code about calling web service, but failed. I got the 500 error after I called your service:
The error message I quoted from Fiddler:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode><faultstring>System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Failed : Invalid credentials ---> System.Exception: Invalid credentials

I am not totally sure that error occurred by the authentication. But I suggest you can try to add this service into your project using this method below:
1.right click the Reference and select Add Service Reference
2.input your service link and click "Go"
And you can use this service as the following:
private async void callService()
ServiceReference1.SearchDataIndexSoapClient client =new ServiceReference1.SearchDataIndexSoapClient();
var Str= await client.StartIndexAsync(new ServiceReference1.AuthHeader { Username = "Admin", Password = "Admin" });
Please try it.

Create web service in oracle 10g r2

Hi guys, I am trying to expose a package function as a web service in the database (10g r2) for outside clients to call on. I saw a good example on the following url in 11g http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/NativeOracleXmlDbWebServices_11gR1.php in which you use the dbms_xdb package to configure a port and servlet for accessing the function in the db. However, the 10g r2 version of the dbms_xdb package does not have some of the functions in the 11g version. Eg. dbms_xdb.addservlet, deleteservlet, etc.
How can i go about doing this (without using Jdeveloper)? Jdeveloper creates the web service but the uses your localhost and web logic port in the generated wsdl. I would like something similar to the example above. Can somebody provide an example that works in 10g or point me towards some article that explains how to accomplish this?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

If the intention is merely to web enable that procedure, allowing it to be called directly via http, then it can be done 10g using XDB.
XDB supports WebDAV and has a mod_plsql (PL/SQL module interface for web servers) servlet. You configure the Oracle Listener to accept http connections on port 8080 for example and hand it over to this mod_plsql module in XDB. In XDB you configure the behaviour of (and URL signatures supported by) this module.
Note that this deals merely with the connectivity and interface (http to PL/SQL) side - whether that procedure exposes a web services (and returns XML) or whether it returns images or html or text is immaterial from a connectivity viewpoint.

Web services and control characters

Hi,
We are using JAXWS and JAXB to create web services. We have a problem with our current data because it sometimes contains "bad" characters, such as control characters. Is there a nice way for us to remove these characters when creating the messages or when retrieving the data from the database? We use java persistence / hibernate to retrieve the data from the database.
I would prefer a method that doesn't include having to "clean" each string manually...
Thanks!

hi, i�m doing something like you but in jbuilder that is another IDE, i don�t know if it is useful for you but i entered to the help of jbuilder and i wrote in the index "web services" and then i found a topic called : "export classes as webservices" and in that place i can see some steps to follow, may be in eclipse you can find something like this.

Complex types with single array type element, marshaling exception

For our JAXRPC web service, we have a complex type, as follows:
<xs:complexType name = "SomeFault">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name = "errorMessages" type="some:ErrorMessageWSType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleType name = "ErrorMessageWSType">
<xs:restriction base = "xs:NMTOKEN">
<xs:enumeration value = "INVALID_1"/>
<xs:enumeration value = "INVALID_2"/>
<xs:enumeration value = "INVALID_3"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
We are running into Marshaling exceptions on the server side when the response/fault complex type has a single array type field.
weblogic.wsee.codec.CodecException: Failed to encode
com.bea.xml.XmlException: failed to find a suitable binding type for use in marshalling object "[Lnamespace.type.ErrorMessageWSType;@693767e9". using schema type: t=SomeFault@http://namespace/SOME/v1 java type:namespace.type.ErrorMessageWSType[]
If I change SomeFault, by adding another element, the error goes away.
<xs:complexType name = "SomeFault">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name = "errorMessages" type="some:ErrorMessageWSType" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
<xs:element name = "dummyString" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
Am I doing something wrong during the wsdlc code generation or is this a known issue?

Any luck with this? I am running into the same error. Apparently, this is not an issue with Java binding, but when invoking remote EJBs, we run into this. I am running 10.1.3.1 and the error is:

EJB3 Creating Web Services with Complex Return Types

Hi
Not sure if this is the right place, but hoping someone can help!
I have an entity bean that has a collection (list<Address>) of sub-entities. I have then created a session bean to retrieve the Business and populate it's children.
I then expose this as a web service and although it works and I get appropriate XML out, the WSDL of the deployed service is not as I would like.
For example:
The return type is
<complextype name="Business">
<sequence>
<element name="id" type="int"/>
<element name="addresses" type="ns1:list"/>
</sequence>
</complextype>
<complextype name="Address">
<sequence>
<element name="id" type="int"/>
<element name="addresses1" type="string"/>
<element name="addresses2" type="string"/>
<element name="addresses3" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complextype>
ns1:list is included as a separate schema as a complex extension of the base "collection"
So, even though the Address type is there it is not referenced from Business.
So, when I'm calling the Web Service from BPEL or ESB, I have not got the ability to map adequately back from the response.
I have tried a whole bunch of ways of getting this to work, but so far to no avail...
Has anyone seen this before, or can I somehow override the mapping from the Entity to the WSDL?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Thanks. We are using a Java Proxy to consume the web service as we need to use JAX-WS handlers. We created data control from the service stub that was created by the proxy. Our issue is with the response XML which comes as a complex type. Also, the data control is understanding the complex type and is creating the structure right. The problem is when we drag that control on a JSF page. No data is displayed. We think that we are not traversing the complex object properly which is creating the issue.
I understand that you answer related to the input is applicable to output as well. We can change the structure by flattening it but we thought that in 11G there is some new features where we can use the complex types out of the box without any change. Is that true? Also, any luck in finding the documents (broken links) on your blog page?

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.

Creating Web service for PL/SQL Procedure with Complex Data Types

I need to created web service for PL/SQL Procedure with Complex Data types like table of records as parameters, how do we map the pl/sql table type parameters with web service, how to go about these?

Hello,
When you are creating a service from a Stored Procedure, the OracleAS WS tools will create necessary Java and PL wrapper code to handle the complex types (table of record) properly and make them compatible with XML format for SOAP messages.
So what you should do is to use JDeveloper or WSA command line, to create a service from your store procedure and you will see that most of the work will be done for you.
You can find more information in the:
- Developing Web Services that Expose Database Resources
chapter of the Web Service Developer's guide.

Creating Web Service in Eclipse with Axis and Tomcat

Hi I'm quite new to web services. But I got a compiled class that i want to create a web service of. Since this class is compiled and lies in a package I can't just use the WTP and create a Buttom Up Web Service. So I created av wrapper class to this class to see if that would solve the problem, but i still get error messages that it's not JAX-RPC compliant. I've decompiled the class file I want to create a web service of and made a wrapper class with an interface around this class.
package org.ejbca.core.protocol.ocsp;
import org.bouncycastle.ocsp.*;
public class OCSPResponse
public OCSPResponse()
resp = null;
fnr = null;
httpReturnCode = 200;
errCode = 0;
public OCSPResponse(OCSPResp ocspresp)
resp = null;
fnr = null;
httpReturnCode = 200;
errCode = 0;
resp = ocspresp;
public int getHttpReturnCode()
return httpReturnCode;
public void setHttpReturnCode(int code)
httpReturnCode = code;
public int getErrorCode()
return errCode;
public void setErrorCode(int code)
errCode = code;
public String getFnr()
return fnr;
public void setFnr(String fnr)
this.fnr = fnr;
public OCSPResp getResp()
return resp;
public void setResp(OCSPResp resp)
this.resp = resp;
public int getStatus()
Something
private OCSPResp resp;
private String fnr;
private int httpReturnCode;
private int errCode;
OCSPResp is an object from boncycastle, as i found out one of the problems is that OCSPResponse is a non Non-Built-In Data Type and don't just contain bulit-in datatypes.
So can anybody give me a detaild input on how to solve this problem, including some hints on how to create a wrapper incase I've done something wrong.

Web services and date type

Hi,
I have a web service method which returns Date type value.
That method is used by a j2me client.
But j2me web services does not support Date type.
Are there any possible ways that I can get around this limitation?
Thanks,
Chamal.

Hi Rohit, the input of ws is a structure like this:
date
installationNr
sid
userID
.Workload
..aDataVol
..aDbTime
..bsteps
..client
..cputime
..dsteps
..QuequeTime
..respTime
..sDataVol
..sDbTime
..steps
..userAccnt
..usteps
It returns nothing...
When I call this ws after I have used all generated classes in model error is:
Array Property [Item] in class [none] must not have NULL elements. This is restricted by schema description.
I invoke this ws with XmlSpy and I see that there is a tag <item> after tag workload, and item contains the next tags. So there's one level that generated classes don't see.
any ideas?
thanks
Andrea

Whether the proxies need to be generated?What is the purpose of it? Where the proxies need to be generated?
Is Process integration needed to use web services?
Kindly guide me how to proceed.

the proxy is the object that make possible to use the service; even if service and consumer are on the same host, you need a proxy to use it.

Is it the same create web service in netweaver CE7.1 and create in ECC6.0?

Hi.
I have some questions about ECC 6.0 and netweaver CE 7.1
1. I want to test webservice in ECC6.0.
     At this time I have no this product, butI have downloaded netweaver CE 7.1 trial version (contains java edition).
     If I create web service in netweaver CE 7.1 trial version(contains java edition) environment, is it same as create
     web service in ECC6.0?
2. If I call this web service in netweaver CE7.1 from third party(such as JSP on another machine), is it same as call webservice in
     ecc6.0 from http client?
3. What relationship and difference between ECC6.0, netweaver 7.1 and netweaver CE 7.1?
Thanks.
