Dynamic IP for web service VIs?

Hi,
I use the LabVIEW Web Service Import Wizard to build web service VIs. I was wondering if there is any method to dynamically specify the IP address of a web service server.
In our application development, usually we would setup an internal test server running web services. Once the development is finished, we would deploy the server with a new IP address. We'd then need to import the web services again and change the VI links in order for the new program to work. It would be nice if we can just change the server IP address instead.
Best Regards,

Hello ! Has anyone found a working solution to this problem yet ? The URL can be changed just like Joe explains, but at least for me this is not a solution. My application is Still trying to connect to the IP Address of the PC from where the Web Service methods were originally imported and it doesn't make difference if I feed another IP address into the url.
It seems the fixed IP Address was stored somehow directly into the WebServiceInterface.dll itself, when the Web Service was first imported.
I guess one workaround would be to install the LabVIEW into the same PC where the Web Service is located and import the Web Service there using "localhost" instead of IP Address. But this helps (? - haven't tried yet) only if I run my application on the server computers. If I install my application on some client PC the application is probably trying to connect to "localhost" and it won't work.
I wonder if this annoying problem has been fixed in 2010, or if there's another workaround ?
Best regards,
Cerati

  • Dynamic wsdl for web service proxy

    Hi,
    I have generated the Web service proxy client based on wsdl used in dev env,
    if i have to deploy to production, i have to manually change the WSDL url to point to production.
    Is there anyway, I can deploy without changing manually.
    thanks

    thanks all from the prompt replies.
    I still have a query. All i can do is create various WS references in connections.xml and call dynamically. like
    Context ctx = ADFContext.getCurrent().getConnectionsContext();
    WebServiceConnection wsc = (WebServiceConnection) ctx.lookup("MyConnection1"); // here i can make a dynamic call ...
    but this piece of code can work only in UI. what if i need to do the same approach in model from my AM.
    Is there a way ??

  • How to get the list of values for a dynamic parameter using Web Services SDK?

    <p>I am struggling to get the list of values for a dynamic parameter of a report.</p><p>I am using Java Web Services SDK ...

    Hi,
    long time ago, but I can remember. You have to copy a folder.
    e.g. I have the file in C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\2013\LVWS , but there is no LVWS folder in \Shared\LabVIEW Run-Time\2012
    (I have a new computer, and for some reason I'm also missing the file in the LV2012 folder now.)
    Try to copy from another version to 2012 U(or download my fzip). I also don't now, why it is missing. Maybe something during the LV2012 installion was wrong.
    Hope I could help,

  • Dynamically invoking a web service.

    How can i dynamically invoke a web service using jax-ws proxy?

    We will need more information on your use case.
    Typically, a JAX-WS proxy refers to the Java Proxy object that implements the interface for your port. If this is what you have then you could dynamically invoke it using reflection.
    However, if you really want to do dynamic invocation then you should look at the Dispatch interface. You can get a Dispatch instance from your Service object and use this to issue raw requests using SOAPMessage or streams. This will require that your application have expertise in generating SOAP requests from the WSDL of the target endpoint, but this is what is typically done in enterprise service bus type products.
    If that's not your use case, let us know.

  • Could not generate stub objects for web service invocation in ColdFusion

    I was able to call the services on the development box - windows server without any problem at all, everything was working fine but the moment i uploaded to a linux box production server I get this error. "Could not generate stub objects for web service invocation in ColdFusion"
    What could be the cause of this problem, i have googled a lot but no solution yet any ideas.

    Let me make it simple:
    1. Server A is our development server.- hosted inhouse with coldfusion installed.
    2. Server B is our production server - a linux server with coldfusion installed hosted on the internet
    3. Server C is a third party server containing the webservice - this is a windows server with .net
    coldfusion is installed on Server A, the code works here and can connect to server C without any problem. It gets the required respone
    but when the code was uploaded to server c it gives the error when we run it.
    now i tried just a simple code which works fine on server A below:
    <cfinvoke webservice="http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL" method="ConversionRate" returnvariable="ConversionRateResult">
        <cfinvokeargument name="FromCurrency" value="EUR" />
        <cfinvokeargument name="ToCurrency" value="USD" />
    </cfinvoke>
    <cfdump var="#ConversionRateResult#" />
    But when i uploaded it to server C: it returns the error
    Cannot generate stub objects for web service invocation.
    Name: http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL. WSDL: http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL. java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/coldfusion8/stubs/WS728929035/NET/webserviceX/www/Currency.java (No such file or directory) It is recommended that you use a web browser to retrieve and examine the requested WSDL document to ensure it is correct. If the requested WSDL document cannot be retrieved or is dynamically generated, it is likely that the target web service has programming errors.
    The error occurred in /home/works/public_html/currency.cfm: line 7
    5 :     <cfinvokeargument name="FromCurrency" value="EUR" />
    6 :
    7 :     <cfinvokeargument name="ToCurrency" value="USD" />
    8 :
    9 : </cfinvoke>
    Now if you try the preceeding code on a windows environment  it works fine but the moment you put in the in the linux environment it generates this error
    I feel that the error may actually be :
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/coldfusion8/stubs/WS728929035/NET/webserviceX/www/Currency.java (No such file or directory)
    but i am clueless as to what to do next
    Ok so I tried the wget command on the linux
    this is what i got
    -bash-3.2# wget http://www.webservicesx.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WDSL

  • XI for Web Services

    Hi experts,
    I want some guidance on the following:-
    1) How can we implement XI with SAP SCEM(Supply Chain Event Management) and SAP Internet sales.
    2)our client wants to get SAP XI involved for Web services. He wants that his customers should be able to access data through web portal . the data can be dynamic or static . How to go about it?
    3)How XI can be integrated with SAP mobile applications?
    Regards
    Saras Jain

    Hi,
    <i>1) How can we implement XI with SAP SCEM(Supply Chain Event Management) and SAP Internet sales.</i>
    You can use SAP XI contents for SAP SCEM in which you will find almost all the interfaces for implementing the integration of SCEM.
    <i>2)our client wants to get SAP XI involved for Web services. He wants that his customers should be able to access data through web portal . the data can be dynamic or static . How to go about it?</i>
    Yes, you can use SAP XI as a middleware to expose SAP functionality as a webservice. For more details about the SCEM contents and how Enterprise service works refer to the below link
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/explore-es
    <i>3)How XI can be integrated with SAP mobile applications?</i>
    SAP XI is a middleware so it provides the integration for any of the platform it could be SAP MAP or it could be RFID or any other third party tool

    This isn't a straight FORM Post as in the http binding support in WSDL. It posts
    a soap message.
    It's apparent that Workshop supports form-post and form-get.
    But I dont see how it is done with straight WebLogic webservices. Does WebLogic
    server read the web-services.xml or the WSDL file? I dont see a way to put in
    http-post binding in the former and in the latter it seems to be ignored.
    Can someone clarify.

    The problem is that you are trying to use the "document" soap-style :-)
    If you change this to "rpc", you'll should be able to successfully generate

    <id>2</id>
    <id>3</id>
    </ids>
    Is there any one can tell me whether this kind of XML was permitted for Web Service
    invoking or not?
    [sample.xsd]

    Hi Andy,
    On the test page, before the invoke of the operation, did it say
    something like:
    <!-- Do not know how to create a sample instance for this part due to
    the following exception:java.lang.InstantiationException:
    javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement. Pls replace this with the correct XML before
    invoking the service. --->
    if so, the service itself may be working OK, the deficiency is that the
    test page tries its best to determine sample values for the invoke,
    however it does not know in this case.
    Did you try with a client?
    Your XML should be fine.
    Regards,
    Bruce

    I would like to use the XML parameter as the Web Service's input(Attachment is
    the XML schema) in WebLogic Server 8 sp1. When I generated the Web Service and
    use the WebLogic Server generate test web page to test it, I got Exception. The
    WebLogic Server can't constructe the input XML.
    The correct XML should look like this:
    <ids>
    <desc>Description</desc>
    <id>1</id>
    <id>2</id>
    <id>3</id>
    </ids>
