Difference of Oracle Application Server Web Services and JDeveloper

As new to the Webservices my Question is what is difference of:
- 1. Web Services Assistents in JDeveloper 1.3 (JAXRPC specification, WS-Sec)
- 2. "Oracle Application Server Web Services" 10.1.2 using WebServicesAssembler (depreciated ?)
- 3. Apache Soap Server 2 based (deprecated ?)
When should I use the iAS Assistent and when the JDeveloper one for generation?
Why don't they use the same stuff?
Does anyone have some experience for projects on this?
Thx, Willi
Have not found any Topic with an explanation on this. If you know someone please point me to that.

Web service Assembler Tool

Thanks a lot for clearing this things to me.
I have to start a web services projects and I am confused which tools to use - JDeveloper Assistents or the WebServicesAssembler (as pointed out before).
Because I did not find some hints on this (expecpt your ones), it seems to me that I am missing some point or criteria on that I can do such a decision when to use what of those two tools.
Do I understand you right, that in future JDeveloper and the WebServicesAssembler will use the same .jar files and also generate the same code?
Thanks a lot for such valuable hints, Willi

Oracle Application Server 10g Forms and Reports Services

Hi there,
I want to install Oracle Application Server 10g Forms and Reports Services. What must I download? The installation guide says that "Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) Forms and Reports Services allows you to install and configure Forms and Reports Services without the need to install and configure all of Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4)" but it does not clearly state what exactly to download.
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2)

What is difference between Oracle Application Server and OC4J

Thanks in advance
Regards
Sunil

OC4J is only the Oracle Container for Java, using a inner HTTP Server.
Oracle Application Server, the components depend of the installation type.
Components
1. OC4J : Oracle container for Java ... without inner HTTP Server, this component use Apache to presentation tier.
2. OC4J_SECURITY (SSO) : Single SingOn
3. Forms and Report Server, Wireless ....
4. Apache : Presentation Tier (use .so or .dll) for OC4J
All the components of this suite are controlled by the OPMN (This component is installed in the OC4J).
OPMN : Oracle Process Manager to control all the components.

Oracle Application Server 10g R2 and UniVerse

Has anyone had any experience trying to implement App Server with non-oracle database such as UniVerse. I'd only like to find out if it is possible and where I can get documentation on how to go about this. Any replies are appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi,
Can you tell us more details about your intentions and business challenges ? After reading your question, I think you are looking for one of these scenarios :-
1. Using the IBM Universe Database as the Metadata Repository for the Oracle Application Server.
It's not possible - Oracle Application Server is married to the Oracle Datbase & you can't use anything else as an MR.
2. Accessing the IBM Universe Database from an Web Application.
I think this depends on the Technologies used in the Web Applciation ( J2EE, PHP, etc. ) & the level of support offered by the Oracle Application Server ( OC4J, J2EE Libraries, etc. ) . If this is what you are looking for, can you tell us more about the application & the challenges you are facing ?

Oracle Application server connection pool and database links

I am using Oracle application server 10g with connection pools, the db used by the application connects to another oracle db using a database link. My question is when the application starts it creates 10 connections, does it also create x amount of database links as well?

Hi,
Is there any way to use the connection pool or Datasource while connecting to database?If I am using a stateless sesssion bean and using a Data Access layer which just creates a database session to write the persistence toplink objects how I can make use of application server connection pool?Hi Vinod,
Yes, TopLink allows you to use the app server's connection pooling and transaction services. Chapter 2 of the Oracle9iAS TopLink Foundation Library Guide provides details as do the TopLink examples. The easiest way to set this up is by using the sessions.xml file. The sample XML below is from the file <toplink903>\examples\ias\examples\ejb\sessionbean\sessions.xml. Here we are adding the datasource defined in OC4J and specifying that we are using the OC4J transaction controller also.
<login>
<user-name>sa</user-name>
<password></password>
<datasource>java:comp/env/jdbc/ejbJTSDataSource</datasource>
<uses-external-transaction-controller>true</uses-external-transaction-controller>
<uses-external-connection-pool>true</uses-external-connection-pool>
</login>
<external-transaction-controller-class>oracle.toplink.jts.oracle9i.Oracle9iJTSExternalTransactionController</external-transaction-controller-class>
When using this approach you need to change your TopLink code slightly in the EJB methods:
a. Acquire the ACTIVE unit of work from the server
session (again, see the EmployeeSessionEJB code
example) with something like:
UnitOfWork uow = clientSession.getActiveUnitOfWork();
b. Calls to uow.commit() can be ommitted or commented out
because the EJB will handle this. Note that of course
the methods you create in the EJB that are using this
approach must have TX Required (default).
Hope this helps.

Sending document to oracle xml gateway web service and body is url encoded

Hello,
a question from a complete newbie to web services. I have some code that is sending a soap message to an oracle xml gateway web service. In the soap message the values in the soap body look like &lt ;CNTROLAREA&gt ;
when I would be expecting <CNTROLAREA>. What I have been told is that the content of the ReceiveDocument element has been url encoded which causes the &lt and to correct it I need to change the paramater type from object to xmlnode and to build the request as an xmldocument. The xmlnode and xmldocument comes from a .net guy so I've been trying to find the equivalent in java but am not having any luck. I have a lot of reading to do but was wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction on how to correct the problem. I captured the soap message being sent using tcpmon. Why does the body have the &lt instead of the < as I was expecting and is there an xmldocument type? The header part of the soap message looks as I expect. "><soapenv:Header><ns1:XMLGateway_Header xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apps/fnd/XMLGateway"><ns1:MESSAGE_TYPE>XML</ns1:MESSAGE_TYPE>. It is being sent as a com.oracle.xmlns.apps.fnd.XMLGateway.XMLGateway_Header type.
thanks
Thanks

The xmlnode and xmldocument comes from a .net guy so I've been trying to find the equivalent in java but am not having any luck. How do you get the data from .net guy? Which interface do you use? What processing do you do after receiving the data?

What is diff between oracle application server and weblogic server?

what is the exact difference between oracle application server and weblogic application server?

The difference between Oracle Application Server AND WebLogic Server has been discussed in a lot of forums dated 2008 and earlier comparing OAS10g with WebLogic10.0/WebLogic9.2
But, now since Oracle has taken over WebLogic, this is not really important.
Now, OAS has no further releases post 10g. WebLogic Server will be the Oracle's strategic application server going forward.
So, if your query is for choosing one of them for a new environment, you are better of with WebLogic Server 10.3.6 OR WebLogic Server 12g
As we will not have further releases of OAS and also OAS10g will be end of life soon, we recommend Oracle WebLogic Server.
If you still want to know the differences, here is one such old oracle documentation link that talks about it

Stop poodle vulnerability in oracle application server

Hello guys.
Our Enterprise is using Oracle Application Server in front of oracle database. we using oracle wallet manager(Installed with Oracle client 10) to create self sign certificates. as you may know wallet manager in v 10 has some limitation in key size or ... (i don't know exactly the limitation and i hope you could help me on it ).
when we want to issue a certificate at first we create a certificate request with wallet manager and then issue based on certificate in windows server CA.
now i have some question:
1- what are the limitation of using wallet manager in V10 to issue the self sign certificate?
2- is there another way to create self sign certificate without wallet manager V10?(when i try the newest versions oracle application failed to open a certificate)
3- and my most important question:
can i stop poodle attack in oracle application? (i red somewhere that poodle attack doesn't apply in TLSV1. so i guess its better to ask my question this way:
does oracle application server support the TLSV1? )
i really appreciate any sort of help.
thank you.

Oracle Application Server Infrastructure & Middle Tiers?

Hi,
Can someone explain in simple words what is meant by Oracle Application Server Infrastructure and Oracle Application Server Middle Tiers and what the difference is between them?
Thanks!

That's right.
mainly there are two major groups of components in infrastructure:
- identity management (including Single-Sign-On, Oracle Internet Directory, Oracle Certificate Authority, some security schemas, etc), and
- metadata repository (which houses data even portal in the default installation if you have one)
middle-tiers run the applications. if you have java or OC4J applications, you will run them from mid-tier; or forms and reports or Business Intelligence, or portals & wireless, all would run from a midtier. but all will use infrastructure for a security, access (SSO), directory services, etc. you can have multiple midtiers connected to the same infrastructure too.

SSL test in Oracle Application Server 10.1.2

Hi ,
we are using one Oracle Application Server Web Cache 10.1.2 as our web server.This redirects users to the Application Server.(EBS 12.0.4)
Now we need to implement SSL to secure user credentials.So i am planing to implement SSL in our web cacahe server.Will this be enough to secure user credentials??I dont have any idea.Please help.
Moreover our web cache is not configured in SSL during the time of installation.Can any body suggest me a place from where i could get one demo Certificate to put it onto my web server and test the SSL confiration.EBS has provided one demo for application tier(inside $ORACLE_HOME/apache/certs/).
But we will have to implement in web cahe tier not in application tier.
We are using EBS 12.0.4 in Hp-Ux v11.23.

How to Setup SSL on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1..2)

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me How to setup the SSL on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2).
I have all the required documents like
1. Oracle Application Server Portal Server Configuration Guide.
2. Oracle Application Server Web Cache Configuration Guide.
3. Oracle Application Server SSO Administration Guide.
I tried to follow all this documents but still i am not able to set SSL for Oracle Portal Server.

The Portal Configuration Guide, available on OTN at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/appserver1012.html does provide some very specific information on how to set up OracleAS Portal.
Section 6.3.2.1 Configuring SSL for OracleAS Portal describes various configurations, such as:
SSL to OracleAS Single Sign-On
SSL to OracleAS Web Cache
SSL Throughout OracleAS Portal
External SSL with Non-SSL Within Oracle Application Server
For larger enterprise configurations, you can refer to the Enterprise Deployment Guide.
Can you give a bit more background on what you are trying to set up? Which scenario, what sort of hardware, software versions, and so on.
Regards,
Pete

Oracle application server 10.1.3.1.0 install - JAVA error

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to Install Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1.0 on 32 bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)
When running the Installer, I use the -ignoreSysPrereqs option because 10.1.3.1.0 is only supported with Linux Server 4, I believe. But I know people have installed it on Linux 5.7 and 5.8
anyways, Oracle application server gets installed and asks me to run root.sh. I run root.sh and then hit the OK button to proceed,
At this point, it tries to run the configuration assistant and fails right away with the following error:

SQL 2012 R2 - SSRS with the Report Server Web Service URL, can't access

Hello:
I am installing Dynamics CRM 2013. When I am on RS Configuration manager; I am running into the SSRS (SQL 2012 on Server 2012)SQL issue, can't access the
http://servername/:80/ReportsServer or
http://servername/:Reports web pages
The database server has SSRS native mode installed, it is using a domain account for the service credentials. This account also has permission to log on a service in the GPO
Account is a domain admin and is a local administrator
SQL server is 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012. User base is less than 60 people and they have SharePoint 13 on the same SQL server. Server more than enough resources.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks..Dan

Hi DCas1,
According to your description, you could not access
http://servername/:80/ReportsServer or http://servername/:Reports web pages from Reporting Services configuration manager, SSRS in configured in native mode and the account you used is a local administrator.
In Reporting Services, URLs are used to access the Report Server Web service and Report Manager. Before we can use either application, we need to configure at least one URL each for the Web service and Report Manager. If we are using the Reporting Services
Configuration tool to create or modify the URLs, we can accept the default values for a URL or specify custom values. When we create a report server URL, we must specify the following parts: Host name, port and Virtual directory. In order to improve the efficiency
of troubleshooting, I need to ask several questions:
Since the default URL is http://<computername>/reportserver, did you type the URLs manually? or the URLs configured in Reporting Services configuration manager are
http://servername/:80/ReportServer and
http://servername/:Reports?
Could you provide detailed information of error log(default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles)?
For more information about Configuring a URL, please refer to the following documents:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159261(v=sql.110).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb630447(v=sql.110).aspx
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

MDM web services and the MDM BP services

Hi *,
I need to know what is the difference between the standard MDM web services and the MDM BP services. How do I decide which set to use?
- Kris

Sorry but what are BP services? Do you mean Business package?
If yes the approaches are completely different - you use Web Services when you have to customise the application and build your logic/functionality into the app. CRUD operations are procided by Web Services - you need to form your wrapper application from scratch and develop!
With BP - it involves least development effort bearing in mind that its all standard content and not yet completely customizable. So based on your requirements plan whether to go for Business Package or Web Services or Java API completely...
