Discussion web services

Has anyone had any luck using the webservices documented at:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25553_01/discussions.1012/b28208/toc.htm
I'm very interested in using these, but can't seem to find a download anywhere, and they weren't installed as part of my OCS 10.1.2 installation

Hi.
I am patching using the Oracle Cumulative Patch 10.1.2.2. I received some errors when patching the Oracle Discussions with patch number 4930030, but the patch succeeded in installing. My question is I looked at the logs and found this.
Please wait as this may take few minutes...
oracle.mail.OESException: OESLoginContext.authenticate : Invalid DN : orcladmin
at oracle.mail.OESLoginContext.authenticate(OESLoginContext.java:205)
at oracle.mail.OESContext.authenticate(OESContext.java:203)
at oracle.discussions.install.TdConfigurationAssistant.initOID(TdConfigurationAssistant.java:445)
at oracle.discussions.install.TdConfigurationAssistant.execute(TdConfigurationAssistant.java:134)
at oracle.discussions.install.TdConfigurationAssistant.main(TdConfigurationAssistant.java:117)
in the post_patch script section of the log file.
I was wondering if I should have used a different dn for -oidusr. In the readme notes it refers to the oidadmin which in my case is "orcladmin", but maybe it needs the ldap user for discussions to complete without errors.

Web Service Usage Discussion - Both for request and response.

Hi,
I have some discussion questions ( by the way i have done my search in the forums )
1) How would you solve the problem of registering user from iphone application without making the user to enter a security code to prevent spam?
( We use graphical captchas to minimize the risk in web.. but what would you do or what are you doing to make a proper registration from iphone directly to the web server? ) I can request, user, pass,email and register the user, but i can not want him to click on the confirmation code that i've sent to his/her email.. He'll leave my application, click the link,... safari will open.. etc etc...
2) How would you authenticate the user and send commands according to that session?
Would you send user and pass in plaintext, like many web pages' login system..?
And after that would you just get a session id from response and after that, would you use only that code to send new commands according to that authenticated user? like ( http://myserver.com/?cmd=message&text=hi&session_id=34524534 ) ? How would you implement, or you are implementing this in iphone application?
3)What would you use to send commands to server? You use simple url request? ( maybe somewhat REST ) or would you send xml to the server? And how would you get the response? As an XML? as comma seperated simple mode, as JSON to parse? Or would you return property list recognized by iphone? Or.... Or?? What would you use, or what are you using? What's your idea to do it in a proper way? (I know that this can change from people to people, but at least we can see what everyone is telling.. )..
What response type you prefer and why do you prefer it? For example, you are trying to avoid xml to stay away from parsing it without standard libraries... OR... ?
I'll be glad if you share your ideas/experiences with us? We may learn new things/we may improve our selves/we may change the way we do these things, we may be happy together (:

Hi MaxLeyton,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.
>>I am trying create a webmethod in a webservice, this webmethod must to have two different headers, one for request and one for response.
Since it is related to the Web, to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible, you could post this issue to the ASP.NET forum.

Issue with OSI PI WCF Web Service with wshttpbinding

Hi Experts,
System Details:
SAP MII 14 SP4
OSI PI Web Service: PITimeSeries
I am having issue when trying to call OSI PI web service using http post. it is returning status 0 when i am using exception handler in BLS.
Same web service works fine with basichttpbinding (SOAP 1.1) but with wshttpbinding (SOAP 1.2) it is giving error.
Following are Web config binding details for web service.
      <wsHttpBinding>
        <binding name="wsBinding_2011" sendTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536" messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true" allowCookies="false">
          <reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00" enabled="false" />
          <security mode="Message">
            <message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true" algorithmSuite="Default" establishSecurityContext="true" />
          </security>
        </binding>
      </wsHttpBinding>
I am not sure it could be the issue with passing windows credentials.
Did anybody consumed WCF web service with wshttpbinding with security mode as Message and clientCredentialType as Windows.
Also i was trying to pass MYSAPSSO2 SSO token to service in http post but first i am not sure if this is correct windows token and second which header property of service should be mapped and i am not sure that I am going into correct direction or not.
Please let me know what i am missing.
I have tried following other options and tools:
SOAP UI: basichttpbinding works fine for wshttpbinding receiving Internal Server error in log and Response as
                  The security context token is expired or is not valid.
MII Web Service Action Block: basichttpbinding works fine for wshttpbinding not able to configure url through wizard because as per                                                                              my discussion with other MII experts MII does not support SOAP1.2. that is one reason for using http post.
WCF Storm: both bindings works fine (There is option to select windows authentication and Impersonation level as delegation)
WCF Test Client: Both bindings works fine
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Manoj Bilthare

Hi Sam,
The web service is valid following are details of testing on various tools.
SOAP UI: basichttpbinding works fine for wshttpbinding receiving Internal Server error in log and Response as The security context token is expired or is not valid.
MII Web Service Action Block: basichttpbinding works fine for wshttpbinding not able to configure url through wizard because as per my discussion with other MII experts MII does not support SOAP1.2. that is one reason for using http post.

SOAP Fault when returning null from a Native Web Service Stored Procedure

I have a stored procedure which I can successfully invoke via soapUI
However, if one of the Stored Procedure's OUT arguments is set to null the native web service returns the following fault :

<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>

Is there an equivalent for Stored Procedures ?

SOAP web service

I want to query data from a SOAP web service using Lookout, for
example:
SOAP Service URL: http://localhost/QueryService/QueryService.asmx
..NET Remoting DLL: [INSTALLDIR]\bin\QueryService.dll
I need to write a program "Soapclient" using VB or C++? And use
"Ddelink object" link to this program in Lookout? Is it right? I am
weak in writing program. Anyone can tell me how to do it step by step?
I need you help,thank you!

This could be a quite difficult application or we could simplify this by using the Lookout Web Client. The Lookout Web Client will create the HTML file and you can either use an Apache Web Server or you can install Internet Information Services which is a Windows add-on and do all of this without programming. For such a complicated setup, I would contact a NI engineer and discuss options before moving forward.

heterogeneous networks and for exchanging information
from vendor-to-vendor or vendor-to-consumer in a
standardized way.
As web service technologies are deployed within and across
organizations over the next several years, it will be
critical that web services undergo performance testing.
As with any enterprise software project, the adoption of
proper test methodologies and use of testing tools will
play a key part in the overall success or failure of
projects utilizing web services. In a compressed
software project schedule, an organization must
quickly determine if its web services will operate
successfully under a variety of load conditions. Like other
web-based technologies, successful web services will need
to respond quickly and correctly when implemented.
During our presentation, we will discuss the testing
challenges created by this emerging technology, along with
the variety of testing solutions available. Automated

How can I return multiple values with PL/SQL Web Services

Hi,
I'm new to developping Web Services. I'm doing some tests with JDeveloper and OC4J on my local machine with a Web Services based on a PL/SQL function within a package. Right now that function only returns one value. So the xml response only has one output.
I'd like to know how can I return multiple values with my PL/SQL Web Service. For example, if I want to return an employee's name and id? And that the xml contains two output : <employee>, <empid>?
Reginald
ps : I have searched the forum and I couldn't find an answer to this question, if that has been discussed AND answered before, can you please post the link? Thanks

Alright, I actually found my answer. Since this was asked I think as a followup somewhere else I'll give my answer.
It is very simple, all you have to do is create an Object Type and then Return that object type. After that, JDeveloper will take care of everything and you will have an xml response with multiple values. Here
{color:#ff0000}
create or replace TYPE person AS OBJECT
( id_interv number,
first_name VARCHAR2(50),
last_name VARCHAR2(50),
date_birth date
);{color}
Then your function used in your Web Service should look something like this :
{color:#ff0000}
function info_emp (p_empno IN VARCHAR2) RETURN person AS
l_emp person := person(-1,'','','');
BEGIN
SELECT first_name
,last_name
,emp_no
INTO l_emp.first_name
,l_emp.last_name
,l_emp.emp_no
FROM emp
WHERE upper(emp_no) = upper (emp_no);
{color}
{color:#ff0000}
RETURN l_emp;
EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
l_emp := person (-1,'n/a','n/a','n/a');
RETURN l_emp ;
END info_emp;{color}
{color:#ff0000}{color:#000000}After that, this is what the xml response looks like :{color}{color}
<first_name xsi:type="xsd:string">John</first_name>
<last_name xsi:type="xsd:string">Doe</last_name>
<emp_no xsi:type="xsd:string">0250193</emp_no>

"Unknown error" when adding a page via web services

I am trying to add a division (a Welcome page) to a section on another welcome page, in order to get a site structure that is one level deeper than what can be built using the iTunes interface. I am using Web Services, which is new to me, to try to do this, as I understand that web services allows this (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6786261&#6786261). I have build a login page that takes my institutional name and password, authenticates me, constructs the authorization token, requests, and successfully receives an upload URL from iTunes U.
It sets the action on a file upload form to this received URL. I then, easily within 90 seconds, browse to the Web Services XML file I want to upload, select it in the file upload form field, and submit the form.
Despite several change to my Web Services document, the text "Unknown error" is all I ever receive back, and my division is not added. Can anyone help?
An the HTML output of the dynamically constructed page with the upload form, and the web services document I am trying to upload, may be found at:
http://itc.boisestate.edu/iTunesU.zip
Thanks,
Eric Orton

It's probably due to the unescaped ampersand in your division name. To be well-formed XML, it must be written as "&" (and, 'a', 'm', 'p', semicolon). In addition, the order of your parameters does not match the XSD. Here's a version that does:
<ITunesUDocument>
<Version>1.1</Version>

Error while returning complex data type in a J2EE web service

Hello,
I am implementing J2EE web service which returns array of custom class object.
I have implemented serializable interface to custom class, and also to session bean.
But it gives the following error:
Serializing object [Lcom.ltitl.j2ee.ejb.classes.ProjectDetails;@2a2289 fails. Nested message: XML Serialization Error. Object of Class [com.ltitl.j2ee.ejb.classes.ProjectDetails] does not have property [ObjId] of type [java.lang.Integer]. Check if the right object is passed to the serialization routine..
As error stated about some property ObjId..I tried including such property in my class. But now it gave exception while deploying stating that ObjId already defined.
Also I want to return multiple arrays of complex custom classes. i tried using vectors but didnt work. What is the method to return arrays of complex custom classes.
Please help..
Abhijeet

Trying to create a web service that returns a Collection doesn't seem to be possible in Netweaver. The reason for this is that languages other than Java have difficulty in mapping Collections, amongst others, to their own native equivalents.
There is a discussion on the subject here you may find useful:
http://forum.capescience.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=webservices&Number=147&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&vc=1
The short answer is to use object Arrays instead, or a custom class that contains an array of each type of object you would expect to find in your Vector
Hope this helps

Calling a Web Service from Mobile - UI options

Hi Team,
I have a scenario where the backend SAP functionality is exposed as a web service and we need to call it online from a mobile handheld device (Symbol with Pocket PC client 2003, IE browser 4.0). Is it possible to call this web service from the handheld? Do we have to write the web service call on the J2EE stack using NetWeaver developer studio?
Also, what UI technology is recommended for showing the data from the web service call. The idea is to get some user input on the handheld, and then post a transaction via the web service on SAP. I discussed with some of my colleagues and they recommend to use JSP/Servlets for this. Does anybody has a better idea, (the JSP/Servlets does not seem correct). Should we use native XSLT or something else.
Please note that the Mobile Web Dynpro has limitations on the UI side and the "onEnter", "setFocus" does not work, specifically on the netweaver 2004s release. The backend ERP system we have is 2004s and I'm trying to make a web service call from a NW 2004 client.
Any ideas or pointers will be appreciated and points awarded. Thanks for your time.

Hi Sanjay!
Yes, To call a WebService you will have to write your Own Application using NWDS.I donot have any specific recommendation for the UI Technology to be used.
Usage of "OnEnter" and "SetFocus" with NW2004s has certain limitations below.
"OnEnter" is not a supported feature as of now especially for WD applications on Handheld Devices.
"SetFocus" will work on IE6.0 Standard Desktop Browser with WAS7.0 SP06 and i believe it will work in hand held devices if your using WAS7.0(NW2004s)SP8 and you are using the latest Symbol Device that has Windows Mobile 5.0 OR Windows CE.NET 5.0.I understand that there could be some limitations with the OS and the IE you are currently running in the device.
Let me know your views.
Thank You

Generation Error - when trying to publish a Java web service

Hi All,
I keep getting the following Generation Error -- java.util.NoSuchElementException_ when I'm trying to create a Java Web Service using the jdeveloper wizard.
I have 2 entities and 2 stateless session beans acting as their facades. One entity has a One-One(FK) relationship with the other entity. I test out the entities and session beans using the test client and the OC4J embedded container and everything seems to work. When I try to generate a Java WebService from one of the entities I keep getting the "Generation Error". Could someone please provide me with some insight into why I'm facing this problem, because it seemed fine when I published J2EE web services previously and now this happens and I cant seem to publish web services anymore. Everytime I keep getting the same GenerationError. Thanks in advance.

Without going into any technical discussion about the code, my first question is what JDK version was used to create this which was imported into the form? Understand that Forms 10 runs on JDK 1.4.2, so if you used any newer JDK version, likely there will be problems.
