Direct Database calls from FLEX client

Hi all,
is there any way to make direct database calls to a MySQL database (or any other database) from a FLEX client, rather than invoking through a service? simply, i need to remove the middle tier.
Thanks in advance.

ADF BC and direct database call from ActionListener Method

Hi
I have an ADF BC application which generates a simple form . In the submit button I am calling a Java method which makes a direct database connection. The application hangs when the method does the executeUpdate() method
public void onSubmit(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
DBSequence prdSequenct=((DBSequence) resolveExpression("#{bindings.ProductId.inputValue}"));
          int productId = new Integer(prdSequenct.toString()).intValue();
          String productName = (String) resolveExpression("#{bindings.ProductName.inputValue}");
update(productName,productId);
public void update(String productName,int productId) {
String str ="update products set product_name=? where product_id =?";
Connection con=null;
PreparedStatement pstmt= null;
try {
con = new DatabaseConnection().getConnection();
pstmt= con.prepareStatement(str);
pstmt.setString(1, productName)
pstmt.setInt(2, productId)
pstmt.executeUpdate();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}finally {
try
pstmt.close();
con.close();
}catch(SQLException sqle) {
sqle.printStackTrace();
when I submit the form the update() method hangs at executeUpdate();
If I run the update() method from a standalone java its works fine.Can anybody tell what could be the issue ?
Thanks

I am using jDev Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.2.0 . Infact I need to call a PL/SQL api from the onSubmit method which I set in the action listener of submit button of the form.
My getConnection method is :
     public Connection getConnection() throws SQLException {
          DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
          Connection con =
          DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE","rme_pbkr", "rme_pbkr");
          OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
          ods.setUser("rme_pbkr");
          ods.setPassword("rme_pbkr");
          ods.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE");
System.out.println("::: con = :::"+con);
          return ods.getConnection();
Does that mean we cannot make a db connection from the actionlistener implementation method ?
How to put the method in AM implementation class ? Just write a public void method there and call from onSubmit button actionlistener through some binding ?
Thanks

Special Character XML Web Service call from Flex

Hi,
Let me first give a little background.
I have to query and return data in XML format. To do so, I have created a custom DSC component. In cases where XML has special characters, LC throws error saying that XML is not properly formed. To over come this issue I used CDATA tag at DSC component. Now LC works as it should and I returns correct result.
I have a web service call from Flex to get this XML result. Every time i trigger this web service I get an error message saying </document> tag is missing.
I understand in Flex, web service returned data is wrapped in CDATA tag, thats what i causing all this issue.
I am not sure, how to handle this situation, I am sure this is a common problem and there should be ways to work around it.
I would really appreciate if any one could point me in the right direction.
Thank you ..

The web service has four operations in it, I need pingQuery operation execution code since it doesnot need any input value.
I have used code something like this.. Any one please correct me if I am wrong..
<mx:WebService
<mx:WebService> id="webService" wsdl=""https://hydrogen.csd.sc.edu/axis2/services/AcademicHistoryService?wsdl
>
<mx:operation name="pingQuery"resultFormat="
object"result="resultHandler(event);"
fault="faultHandler(event);"
>
<mx:request>
<PingQuerySpecification>
<value>
fsdf
</value>
</PingQuerySpecification>
</mx:request>
</mx:operation>
</mx:WebService>
private function resultHandler(evt:ResultEvent):void {Alert.show(ObjectUtil.toString(evt.result));
private function faultHandler(evt:FaultEvent):void {Alert.show(evt.message.toString());

Completely different AMF request packets for same remote service call from Flex to PHP using ZendAMF

I was trying to debug why one of the remote-services in our Flex application was failing randomly. What I found was interesting. Completely different AMF request packets were sent for same remote service call from Flex to PHP.
When the service call succeeds the AMF request packet looks like the following:
POST /video/flex/bin-debug/gateway.php HTTP/1.1

And when the service fails the AMF request packet looks like this:

operation = "getMemberFromEvent"
source = "MembereventService"
timestamp = 0
timeToLive = 0
Also, following is the error message on Flex when the service fails:
{Fault code=Channel.Call.Failed, Fault string=error, Fault detail=NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed, Destination=MembereventService}
We are using Swiz as the micro-architecture for Flex development and Zend AMF for remoting between Flex and PHP.
Any ideas what is wrong here, what is causing Flex to send different request packets for the same service & what I can do to fix it?

Hi, I know that your post is almost 5 years ago, but have you found the solution to this issue?
Thanks.

How to receive message from flex client

From the sample 'testdrive-datapush', I know how to receive message from backend(java) to flex client.
Now, I want to know how to receive message from flex client to backend.
I tried to find it in http://livedocs.adobe.com/blazeds/1/javadoc/.
but I failed.
Do you guys know the solution?

Alex mentioned a solution in another thread.

Using a JMSConsumer object instead of the JMS adapter
You use a JMSConsumer to listen for JMS messages without relying on the JMS adapter. Customer code is responsible from receiving JMS messages, converting them to Flex messages and using BlazeDS APIs to pass the message to Flex clients.
In the following code example, a bootstrap service is used to create a JMSConsumer object when the server starts. When a JMS message is received, it is printed (rather than converting it to a Flex message and handing it to BlazeDS). For different workflows, a RemoteObject could be used to create JMSConsumer objects.

Do you know where is the code example?

When a servlet accepts a call from a client, it receives two objects.what??

hi,
When a servlet accepts a call from a client, it receives two objects. What are they???

How will u pass the argument from one servlet to another servlet??Actually, it's dead simple: Just tell servlet #1 that servlet #2 said something nasty about servlet #1's mother and sister, so servlet #1 will head-butt servlet #2 and you have the argument passed along ...

Deploy BlazeDS services separately from Flex client app?

Is it possible to deploy my BlazeDS services app separate
from the Flex client app? I would like to manage the 2 deployments
separately. Every example and the instructions seem to link
everything into one deployment bundle.

Hi Alex, thanks for your advice. I tried reading the client-side logs, but it just physically shows what I was saying earlier - that the consumer is connected and subscribed, but no messages are coming through to it.
I've attached the output of the 'flashlog.txt' file. For the particular session shown, the flex application was sent 8 JMS messages, but as you can see nothing got through. I put a 'trace' message in the message handler function (for my consumer object), but it never gets called.
'E2513351-75DA-0837-7263-3807B91D9630' consumer set destination to 'flextest-message-destination'.
'7D784A40-DBBB-71F1-4029-3807B91D45E3' producer set destination to 'flextest-message-destination'.
'consumer' consumer subscribe.
'flextest-streaming-amf' channel endpoint set to http://localhost:8400/FLEXTEST/msgbroker/streaming-amf
'flextest-streaming-amf' channel settings are:
'flextest-streaming-amf' pinging endpoint.
'flextest-streaming-amf' channel is connected.
'flextest-streaming-amf' channel sending message:
(mx.messaging.messages::CommandMessage)
body=(Object)#0
clientId=(null)
correlationId=""
destination="flextest-message-destination"
headers=(Object)#0
messageId="8A592005-3C8A-4C6C-B074-380857710C00"
operation="subscribe"
timeToLive=0
timestamp=0
'consumer' consumer connected.
'consumer' consumer acknowledge for subscribe. Client id '37CC5DED-A019-7110-3C89-A9926835103E' new timestamp 1233595684954
'consumer' consumer acknowledge of '8A592005-3C8A-4C6C-B074-380857710C00'.
Seems to me there can only be two explanations: either my BlazeDS configuration is incorrect (which is unlikely given that everything works if I use a ActiveMQ as my JMS provider with only trivial changes to my configuration), or there is some bug within BlazeDS that is preventing it from working properly with FioranoMQ. What do you think?

Best practice for database calls from Java components?

I have a java component that encapsulates some complex database logic. In unit tests, I pass in a jdbc connection.
Is there a way to pass in a database connection from PBL for a database defined as an External Resource in an ALBPM project? That way, I can test it using the "abstract" definition in the project and know that when it is deployed to production it will use the concrete definition. And, I won't have to maintain a separate configuration of the JDBC url.
Is there a better way to do this? Or is it possible?
Thanks,
Todd

Hi Bruno,
The main issue with the combination of stateful session beans and servlets is the servlet threading model.
It is dangerous to store a stateful session bean reference in servlet instance state, since the servlet instance
can be accessed concurrently, yet a stateful session bean reference is intended to be used by only one
client.
As you point out, one alternative is to store the reference in the HttpSession. That associates the reference
with a particular client, which matches the stateful session bean programming model.

ESB Webservice call from Java client

Hi,
i need to call webservice from Java client which inturn will call ESB
I tried creating proxy from the WSDL in jDeveloper and tried setting the following end points
My concrete WSDL path :http://10.237.25.63:8889/esb/wsil/SubroCaseESBSystem/InputRouter?wsdl
My EM -path:"http://10.237.25.63:8889/event/subrotest/SubroInputrouter"
When i call the concreteWSDL im getting
"HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Bad response: 405 Method Not Allowed"
If i call the EM pathim getting
"javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException"
Any guess as how i need to call my ESB from client.

Hello Venkat,
- I have created Java Proxy using Jdeveloper for ESB webservice and I usually use http://host:port/event/...?wsdl, and it creates stub which works without any modification. Let me know, may be I can try sending sample project
- I would like to verify if you are having issue with Java client or ESB itself, are you able to execute that ESB process/service from EM test page or from any other BPEL process?
Regards,
Chintan

Excessive database calls from DMZ portal as opposed to from internal portal

Ever since our upgrade from 5.0.4 to ALUI 6.1 MP1, our extranet server in the DMZ is very slow to load. (36 seconds per page.) In the spy, all of the calls to the database are made repeatedly as if they are looping. When the page has completely loaded, you can still all the same calls being made to the database in the spy.
When this box is brought from the DMZ into the LAN, it operates correctly and you only see the calls to the database the one time. All of the necessary ports are open in the firewall.
Does anyone have any ideas? There are no errors in the log, just the continues looping of SELECT statements, etc.

Hi ,
As Simon pointed in previous reply , DB should not be directly updated. It should be via components which use API delivered. I haven't come across where shuch functionality is required . If the DB is allowed to updated directly , then there is a possibilty where the end user's action may corrupt the DB.
Thanks

Web Service Call From Proxy Client in ABAP: View SOAP Request

Hello All,
We are working on a scenario where we have to connect to a web service from ABAP. We have extracted the WSDL, and generated the client proxy, and configured a Logical Port. However, at the time of actual call, we receive an error message "Header http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing:Action for ultimate recipient is required but not present in the message.". We suspect that this is a problem with the SOAP Header, which might be missing some tags, which are required by the Web Service. Problem is, we can not trace the Web Service SOAP Header. We can not see it in SOAMANAGER, or any other transaction as such. Does any body have an idea where to look for the complete SOAP Request, in case of a Client Proxy call?
Thanks and Regards,
Sid

Hello Sebastian,
Thanks for replying. We are using a higher support pack level, and hence we do not use LPCONFIG; rather we use SOAMANAGER to manage the web service logical ports. Further, SMICM would display us ICM Logs, where as we need the exact SOAP request that has been generated. We tried ST11 with no luck.
Finally, I feel this is a wrong forum to ask such an application related question. I will close this thread and open a new thread in either PI or ABAP Forum.
Thanks and Regards,
Sid

Servlet doPost never called from VB client

Hi,
          Is there any way I can check that the weblogic server (servlet container?) is receiving the request before forwarding it to my servlet?
          Description:
          I'm using MSXML2.XMLHTTP ActiveX object to post an xml string to a servlet from an Excel add-in.
          This is working in all but one case.
          The problem I have is that one client's request is not being posted, i.e. the doPost(..) is not being called on the servlet.
          Here's the VBA:
          Dim Req As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP
          Req.Open bstrMethod:="POST", bstrUrl:=sUploadServlet, varAsync:=True, bstrUser:=uname, bstrPassword:=pword
          Req.Send sXML
          Observations:
          * The post works if I make the call synchronous (i.e. VB waits for the response)
          * The post works if I don't send the xml string
          * There are no errors raised in the VBA above
          The servlet container is Weblogic running on Solaris with java 1.3, the client VB runs in Excel 2000, IE is version 6 SP2.
          Thanks,
               Antony

Hi friends,
It seems I have finally found the answer to calling doPost() of HttpServlet from applet. Espcially for those who were working on jdk1.3 or previous would notice that after moving to a higher jsdk version, their code has suddenly stopped calling the doPost() method in servlet the answer to this is that remember to call the getResponseMessage() And disconnect() method on the HttpURLConnection after closing the outputStream on it.
This is a sample code to Send the object from applet to servlet in order to invoke doPost() method at the servlet.
//servletGetUser is a url in the form => http://host:port/contextroot/servletName.
     URL DBSrvlet = new URL(servletGetUser);
     HttpURLConnection SrvletConnection = (HttpURLConnection) DBSrvlet.openConnection();
     SrvletConnection.setDoOutput(true);
     SrvletConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
     SrvletConnection.setUseCaches(false);
     SrvletConnection.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
     SrvletConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
     ObjectOutputStream outputToServlet = new ObjectOutputStream(SrvletConnection.getOutputStream());
     outputToServlet.writeObject(tAdmin);
outputToServlet.flush();
     outputToServlet.close();
     // Remember your doPost() method gets fired actually by these last 2 lines.
SrvletConnection.getResponseMessage()
     SrvletConnection.disconnect();
Do let me know if this works,
Thanks,
Himanshu B.

How to get the Runstate variable of an external sequence called from the Client Sequence through Sequencecall?

Hi,
I need to change the runtime high and lo limit values of all the tests of the client sequence file before running it. My sequence file is having a SequenceCall which calls an external sequence. Can anyone tell me how to change/access the High and lo limit values of the external sequence test steps?
Thanks,
Jeyan

Doug,
I used the property loader method but I could not load the limits of any sub sequence call calling an external sequence file.
I took the FlowRate_test.seq example from the NI Example folder "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2.1\Examples\PropertyLoader\LoadingLimits\LimitsFromExcelFile\UsingCVI". I created a sequence called PumpTest.seq in the same folder path. I then moved the Pump Test step from the FlowRate_test.seq to the PumpTest.seq. Now created a sequence call in the FlowRate_test.seq and called the PumpTest.Seq as the module path. When I execute the FlowRate_test.seq , I get the error as shown below:
Attached is the Flowrate_Test.seq and the PumpTest.seq which should be there in the folder path "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 4.2.1\Examples\PropertyLoader\LoadingLimits\LimitsFromExcelFile\UsingCVI".
Let me know whether I am doing something wrong in this method.
My idea is to alter the runstate variable High and Low of Pump Test in the PumpTest.seq and then run the Flowrate_Test.seq.
Attachments:
PumpTest.seq ‏6 KB
FlowRate_test.seq ‏11 KB

What would you consider when choosing between FDS and PHP

My app doesn't need to be real time but I am concerned about
the load on the webserver running PHP. Is that a typical point of
