Does Workshop deal with SOAP Messages with Attachments

I try to send back an image from my web service. Is there a way to make a SOAP Messages
with Attachments using BEA Workshop?
Thanks,
Jerome.

Hi Jerome,
I'm pretty sure that Workshop doesn't support SwA (SOAP with Attachments) yet. The
product manager says that it is being considered for a future version, though :-)
In the meantime, I don't see any reason why you can't just use a Java class that
uses the JavaMail API to construct a Multipart MIME message. The MimeMultipart class
(the one that acts as a container for a multipart/related document) has a writeTo()
method that you can use to populate a ByteArrayOutputStream. Afterwards, you should
be able to use the toByteArray() method on this ByteArrayOutputStream, to create
the byte[] that maps to a xsd:base64Binary data type. The nice thing about this,
is that the target web service has complete access to the SOAP message (in the first
Body part), and all the attachments :-)
Just a thought...

How to send SOAP Message with Oracle B2B

Hi everyone,
I need your help to send out from Oracle B2B a SOAP message with attachment of any type of file (image, pdf, etc.). Possibly using a SOA composite application or another way, it doesn't matter. I already create an ebMS partnership with a custom document protocol and I already create a working SOA composite application to send only text message to my trading partner. I have tried this solution: http://anuj-dwivedi.blogspot.it/2011/04/ebms-attachment-handling-in-oracle-b2b.html but it doesn't work for my case... It is to be noticed that I don't give any schema to my component in the SOA application explained firstly, and I select opaque as schema.
Thanks to all, regards
Nello

Hi Anuj and thanks for your help,
I need to send an ebXML message, with SOAP, and I try to send it with a .war application written in jsp connecting to http://10.85.28.24:8001/b2b/transportServlet to send the SOAP message. The errors reported is:
javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Unable to receive message. Received a response from url: http://10.85.28.24:8001/b2b/transportServlet with HTTP status 200 and SOAP content-type: null.
the code I write is the following (to evaluate the two "null" in the super constructor)
<%!
public class EBMSSender extends SOAPRunner
private String cpaId;
private String service;
private String action;
private String mess;
private ArrayList<String> allegati=null;
public EBMSSender(String cpaId, String service, String action, String mess, ArrayList<String> file)
super("http://10.85.28.24:8001/b2b/transportServlet","null", "null");
this.cpaId = cpaId;
this.service = service;
this.action = action;
this.mess=mess;
this.allegati=file;
@Override
protected void prepareRequest(SOAPMessage soapMessage, SOAPBody soapBody) throws SOAPException
soapBody.addChildElement(SOAPUtility.createElement("CPAId", getNsPrefix(), getNsURI(),"agr3"));

ap=soapMessage.createAttachmentPart(dh);
ap.setContentType(new MimetypesFileTypeMap().getContentType(allegati.get(i)));
ap.setContentLocation(allegati.get(i));
soapMessage.addAttachmentPart(ap);

@Override
protected Object processResponse(SOAPMessage responseMessage,SOAPBody responseBody) throws SOAPException

return null;
%>
The code works fine on the other trading partner side to send ebXML message to Oracle B2B. Apart from this solution (however,it would be my favorite), I find your blog and I try to implement your solution. It works: it sends files with only text payload to the other trading partner without any problem, but if I try to send for example an image in byte array written in a file .txt, the ebxml file received has the byte array with wrong characters. it may be that I have not provided the xsd schema? in case if I wanted to send an ebXML message with text and attachments, what xsd schema do I need to provide?
or is there another way to implement a SOA composite application to send SOAP messages with attachments?
Thank for your help!, regards

Outbound SOAP Message with Attachment

The requirement is to invoke a web service by sending attachments in the outbound SOAP message. The attachment body needs to be assigned in the message flow, using an element E1 extracted from the message incoming into the flow.
I am trying to use attachments variable to set content-type (text/xml) and body using E1. However, these are not getting assigned to attachments variable, as seen by logging the variable.
I was told that $attachments cannot be changed inside the flow (it is marked black in the console unlike the header and body that are marked green). If that is the case, how do we invoke services using attachments from a message flow?
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi,
A SOAP message may need to be transmitted together with attachments of various sorts, ranging from facsimile images of legal documents to engineering drawings. Such data are often in some binary format. For example, most images on the Internet are transmitted using either GIF or JPEG data formats. In this document we describe a standard way to associate a SOAP message with one or more attachments in their native format in a multipart MIME structure for transport.
yes it is possible to send attachment with the SOAP.
SOAP Message Packages
A "SOAP message package" contains a primary SOAP 1.1 message. It may also contain additional entities that are not lexically within the SOAP message but are related in some manner. These entities may contain data in formats other than XML. The primary SOAP 1.1 message in a message package may reference the additional entities. Such additional entities are often informally referred to as "attachments." This section describes how to construct SOAP message packages and how SOAP processors will process them.
A SOAP message package is constructed using the Multipart/Related media type, which is defined in RFC 2387. The rules for the construction of SOAP message packages are as follows:
The primary SOAP 1.1 message must be carried in the root body part of the Multipart/Related structure. Consequently the type parameter of the Multipart/Related media header will always equal the Content-Type header for the primary SOAP 1.1 message, i.e., text/xml.
The MIME Multipart/Related encapsulation of a SOAP message is semantically equivalent to a SOAP protocol binding in that the SOAP message itself is not aware that it is being encapsulated. That is, there is nothing in the primary SOAP message proper that indicates that the SOAP message is encapsulated .

Soap message with Attachment

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherin I have to send an attachment(image) along with the soap payload.i.e. the soap message contains the payload and an attachment.For eg. the soap message is as shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <ns1:MT_Soap xmlns:ns1="http://www.adc.com/sample">
         <Record>
            <FieldXML>abc</FieldXML>
            <FieldAthmt />
         </Record>
      </ns1:MT_Soap>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
How can I include the attachment(which is on a local machine) in the above soap message?
Is it posssible to send the attachment in the field "FieldAtthmt"?
If it is possible to send an attachment with the soap message then how can that attachment be handled in XI?
Thanks in advance,
Vikram

How to send SOAP message with attachment?

Hi Experts,
How do I simulate to send a SOAP message with an attachment? Can I use XMLSpy?
Please help.
Thanks,
Shobhit

Ravi,
With the generic SOAP client, it asks for the http based wsdl file location. But my wsdl has been generated by XI and I have the file stored on my desktop.
Something to do with the path http://zpidd01:8030/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=NetworkPartners:NP_Order_BS:NP_SOAP_Sender_CC ??
Stefan,
my scenario is to send a SOAP request with attachment and post the attachment in ECC through the ABAP server proxy.
WebService Client -
SOAP----> XI -
ABAP PROXY CALL ---> ECC
Need further assistance from both of you how to achieve this scenario.
Thanks,
Shobhit

WLS 7.0 sp2 - Servlet Problems with SOAP messages

          I'm using Weblogic 7.0 SP2 and trying to create a Servlet to receive SOAP wrapped
          XML messages. I'm getting the following error. Is this a problem with WLS7.0sp2's
          support of JAXM? The System.out.println's indicate I have successfully received
          the incoming SOAP request and then successfully formatted the SOAP response, but
          upon returning saving the response it appears to blow up. Does anyone have any
          suggestions?
          I need to do the following in a servlet:
          - receive an incoming SOAP request with an embedded XML message
          - perform some processing
          - return a SOAP response with an embedded XML message
          Should I be using JAXM? Or can I do this same task easily with JAX-RPC?

Michael,
I got the same error on WLS8.1/Win2K professional and apache FOP (old version).
After digging into the WLS code and FOP(old version). i found the conflict happens
on
the "org.xml.sax.parser" system property. In WLS code, they hard coded like the
following when startup weblogic server:
System.setProperty("org.xml.sax.parser", "weblogic.xml.jaxp.RegistryParser");
But the FOP code try to use the "org.xml.sax.parser" system property to find the
sax parser then conlict happens.
Here is the response from BEA support :
"I consulted with our developers regarding the question of whether we can change
the hard-coded value for the java system property: org.xml.sax.parser by using
a configuration parameter and I found that unfortunately there is no specific
setting to change the value. As you had mentioned in your note the org.xml.sax.parser
system property can be changed programmatically in your application code."
I solve my problem by using newer apache FOP (it never use the system property:org.xml.sax.parser
any more) and XML Registy for WLS8.1.
Good luck.

When we migrated from WLS 6.1 to WLS 7.0 SP2 when encountered a problem
with XML

We get the error "weblogic.xml.jaxp.RegistryParser is not a SAX driver".
What does this mean? And, what should we do about it.

Monitoring SOAP messages with JWSDP?

Hi!
Is it possible to monitor SOAP messages generated from the JWSDP during the connection between a client and the Web Service?
Thank you.

A useful standalone tool is TcpTrace (http://www.pocketsoap.com/tcptrace/)
This is a windows program and I have found it very useful.
The easiest way I have found to use it with JWSDP is to modify the tomcat port in JWSDP_HOME\conf\server.xml, and then configure TcpTrace to listen on the original tomcat port value, and forward to the new one.
But if you do this, TcpTrace must be running whenever you attempt to install or modify anything which requires contacting the tomcat server.

Reading attachment in SOAP message with ABAP mapping

I am searching an ABAP code to read attachment in sender SOAP message..
I am using PI 7.3, I can read by java mapping but I get another error after reading the attachment.. So I try to abap mapping..
That's it..
Thanx ..

Hello Mark,
1. My Soap Sender Adapter, I checked the Keep Attachment option
2. I am getting the WSDL file from the SOAP Sender Agreement.. it is like http(s)://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=p:s:c? as you said.
I used the user-defined function, it works when <inc:Include href="cid:test.jpg" xmlns:inc="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/xop/include" /> is deleted in the message.
If the coming message includes <inc:Include href="cid:test.jpg" xmlns:inc="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/xop/include" />,
the <null> error occurs.
Thanx for your reply..

How to send a signed SOAP message with additional HTTP Header fields

Our Partner's integration requirements are that we send them asynchronous SOAP messages, that are digitally signed, and whose HTTP headers contains 5 or 6 additional header fields, of which 3 or 4 will need to be dynamically set during the message mapping. I believe we can use the HTTP adapter for adding new fields to the HTTP header, but don't believe it supports signing. I believe that the SOAP adapter supports signing, but I'm not clear on how to use it to add fields to the HTTP header. What is the most straight-forward way to achieve both the signing of the message and the addition of the HTTP header values?
Thanks,
Kurt

>>>What is the most straight-forward way to achieve both the signing of the message and the addition of the HTTP header values?
Use Java mapping for both.
1) Signing the message
You can digitally sign the soap message using many standard api like WSS4j? or refer Java XML signature API which comes in Jdk1.6.
Refer these links
WSS4J - http://ws.apache.org/wss4j/axis.html
Java XML signature : http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/xml/dig_signature_api/
2) >>whose HTTP headers contains 5 or 6 additional header fields, of which 3 or 4 will need to be dynamically set during the message mapping
Use Dynamic configuration API to set the additional header fields during message mapping.

Mail does not (always) display sent messages w/attachments

Hello,
A frustration: my Mail 8.2 (using iCloud and OS X 10.2.2) often does not display particular Sent messages -- this most often occurs when I have multiple attachments and have spent quite some time, often approaching half an hour, composing the message -- but sometimes it occurs when only a single attachment and a quick, 10 second, composition period. Recipients report receiving the emails and the attachments. The vast majority of Sent messages are properly displayed.
I have searched for the missing Sents by recipient, subject line and even text and .... they do not appear in any mailbox.
Wi-Fi connections are strong and not problematic. The issue is not particular to any one recipient. All software updates are current.
While it has been some time since I Repaired Permissions I am not detecting any other problems.
The frustration is "OMG where did that half-hour of work GO?" followed by a usually unnecessary follow-up email or call to the recipient.
Any suggestions would be appreciated; thanks.

Hi Linc,
As per my original question.
Using iCloud, which is as you know IMAP. I noticed it does not occurr with pop mail servers. Thank you for looking into this.

Vishal,
Couple of questions.
How are you sending this message. Is it a message that you create and send Internally with an attachment.
As you reply me, please also check if the <b>Attachments folder</b> has been set under <b>Administration > System Initialization > General Settings.....Path Tab</b>
SBO tries to copy the attachment from the location you select to the Path defined for Attachments.
Let me know

PI 7.11 process SOAP message with Attachments failed

Hello,
we have a scenario where the sender (3rd-Party) start a sync call via PI to a receiver (SAP BW system).
The receiver send a response with attachment. SAP processed the message successfully but sender could not processed message because the SOAP header do not have the attribut Content-Transfer-Encoding.
with this attribut I could tell the sender that the attachments are more then 7bit.
How to can I set this attribut into the SOAP header in the SAP PI?
Or have someone an other idee?

Have a look at at MultipartHeaderBean and MessageTransformBean at [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/cd/5af7c0c994e24fb0d0088443513de2/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/cd/5af7c0c994e24fb0d0088443513de2/frameset.htm]
It talks about content ID, content description, content type, content disposition but it does not mention Content-Transfer-Encoding.

How to send SOAP Message with attachments?

Hi All,
I am working on a SOAP to RFC Scenario With specific requirement of handling the attachment(Mainly Excel Attachments) at the Sender SOAP Adapter.
Kindly Suggest.
I found lot of theoritical stuff but no practical scenario.

Hi Sachi,
To handle attachment in SOAP sender adapter first of all you will have to use the AXIS message protocol.
Then by using MessageTransformBean you can handle the attachment.
1) Check this link for the module processing sequence used to get the attachment from SOAP
SOAP Axis sender with CSV file attachment
2) Check this blog which will help you on the usage of MessageTransformBean

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/24/4cad3baabd4737bab64d0201bc0c6c/frameset.htm
using MessageTransformBean you can handle only the text file attachments like comma separated file, pipe separated, fixed lengths etc. But if you are looking to handle a excel file you will have to use a java mapping to get the data from excel attached file. for this have a look at this following blog by Shabarish:
Excel Files - How to handle them in SAP XI/PI (The Alternatives)
Do remember to use SOAP Axis adapter and to tick the keep attachment option.
Hope this helps.

Scenario: SOAP message with attached .zip file to FTP ?

Hi all,
I've searched SDN etc but got no good hints to my problem.
My scenario is tht we are receiving an XML message via SOAP adapter and this is a MIME multipart message so it carries also a attached zip-file.
The XML and the attached zip-file should then be saved over FTP.
It enters IS correctly and I can see that I have the attachment and it goes to AE. I can see payload and attachment in the statusreport on receiver cc.
The FTP adapter saves the payload XML correctly but the attachment is not saved anywhere.
I have not configured any modules, BIC etc in the FTP adapter and I need some input on how to set this up tp put both files on FTP server.
In the future the FILE adapter will be used and then I wounder if I will get the same problem there?

I dont think there is a direct way of doing this. I can suggest you a method. In the directory receiver determination use 2 receivers with no condition. You message will get split in to two now. Create the interface determinations and receiver agreements. Complete one of them normally. It will sav the xml t FTP. For the other one, in the adapter use the payloadswapbean. It will swap the attachement to payload. THis one would save your zip on the ftp server.
Hope its clear..!!
