Dynamic Webservice URL

Hi,
We have around 20 webservices deployed in a dev environment (dev1). We wanted to migrate that to a test environment and then to production.
We figured that we would have to change all our form code base to point to the webservices deployed at test1 and then to prod1 if we have to migrate from dev1 server.
Is there an easy way to do this ? we would like to read the webservices based on the machine we want at runtime and execute it ?
any suggestions ?
I know in other programming languages you read from a .properties file and do it, but not sure in form desginer ?

Ok I am finally back in the office and have found the information required. Assuming the connection name in the DataView wizard is set to DataConnection, then the command to get at the soap address is:
xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection.soapAddress.value
So to set a new address use:
xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection.soapAddress.value = "http://server:port/servicename";

How to change dynamically the Webservice URL

Hi,
I added a webservice to my projet from a WSDL.
As my application needs to fire this webservice towards different servers, I set dynamically the URL in my code. Here is the problem. When I point to the initial server (the one I got the WSDL from), everything is fine. But when I want to fire the webservice toward another machine, my code is not taken into consideration and my application still communicates with the initial server !
I have something like:
        URL url = null;
        StuffService stuffService = new StuffService(RIOT_url, new QName("http://web.stuff.com/", "StuffService"));
        Stuff stuffPort = stuffService.getStuffPort();
        try {
            url = new URL("http://localhost:3337StuffService/Stuff?wsdl");
        } catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(Page1.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
              //USE THE WEBSERVICEIs there something wrong in my code ?
Do I need to change some files in the project ?
Thanks for your help

This has nothing to do with JSF. Rather post webservice related questions at the webservice forum: [http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=331]
Back to the actual problem, are you using a webservice proxy? A proxy should be able to pick up the URL and port the request.

Dynamic Webservice Target URL

I am using Crystal Reports for Eclipse to serve up some reports for my web application. Currently, I am using JDBC datasources in which I am changing the datasource at runtime in a CrystalReportViewer where I also set some report parameters for every report that passes thru it. However, I am now switching from JDBC datasources as my data provider to webservices. The webservices work perfectly during design time. However, in my report, I have to tell it that the webservice is located at http://localhost/. When I go to deploy these reports to production servers, I need to dynamically change the target URL to something like http://myproductionserver/ at runtime. I know this needs to take place in my CrystalReportViewer, but I can't figure out how to do it there. Can someone point me in the direction I need to be going?
Thanks in advance...

Ok. I've been making a little bit of progress with this. I have added "replaceConnection" on my database controller and am changing the URLs there. However, when I do that, I get an invalid argument exception.
Here is my replaceConnection code:
private void replaceConnection(DatabaseController dbController) throws ReportSDKException
       ConnectionInfos connInfos = dbController.getConnectionInfos(null);
       for(IConnectionInfo connInfo : connInfos)
            PropertyBag pb = connInfo.getAttributes();
            String newQEServer = connInfo.getAttributes().getStringValue("PreQEServerName").replace("localhost", "BJRKQJ1-SHAW");
            String newServerName = connInfo.getAttributes().getStringValue("Server Name").replace("localhost", "BJRKQJ1-SHAW");
            String newHttpWebserviceUrl = connInfo.getAttributes().getStringValue("Http WebService URL").replace("localhost", "BJRKQJ1-SHAW");
            pb.put("PreQEServerName", newQEServer);
            pb.put("Server Name", newServerName);
            pb.put("Http WebService URL", newHttpWebserviceUrl);
            dbController.replaceConnection(connInfo, connInfo, null, DBOptions._ignoreCurrentTableQualifiers + DBOptions._doNotVerifyDB);

Passing WebService URL Dynamically in BPEL

Hi,
We have requirement to Call the WebService URL dynamically to BPEL Process. Currently Websevice URL is hardcoded in WSDL file and our Client has changed their URL recently. We need to Change the URL in all the BPEL Process (Totally 10 BPEL Processes). We are thinking of the following approach but we are not sure whether its works.
1. Store the URL in Profile
2. Retrive the URL Value in BPEL Process and Pass it to the Web Service at Run Time
3. This will avoid the hardcoding of URL in BPEL Process and in case of any change in the URL in future, then we can change the Profile Value instead of all the BPEL Process.
Any Help on this is highly helpful.
Thanks in Advance,
Saravana

Call Webservice URL with multiple methods in PI 7.0

Dear Gurus,
I have the following requirement:
I need to make multiple calls to a same webservice (URL) which have multiple methods on its WSDL. I know it is possible in PI 7.1. But is it possible in PI 7.0?
I have already designed and configured the scenarios and generated ABAP Proxy. When I call the endpoint without specifyng the method I got the following message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">

>>. But is it possible in PI 7.0?
Just few cents..
Test using SOAPUI or XMLSPY and use that same WSDL URL in the target URL of Communication channel. Just to make sure you use the right endpoint.
or
You can specify the method name as soap action dynamically using udf in mapping and see how it behaves.

Use of SOAP Receiver Adapter in a recursive way with dynamic Target URLs

Hi all,
I have a following scenario.
1. I have to call a webservice with a URL http://myserver.com/default.aspx?action=index
This will return a list of xml filenames as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<filelist>
<file uuid="test1" />
<file uuid="test2" />
<file uuid="test3" />
<file uuid="test4" />
</filelist>
2. Now I have to call the same webservice with a change in action so that the url looks like
URL - http://myserver.com/default.aspx?action=fetch&uuid=
for all the filenames in the list
So in essence, I have to create a dynamic URLs recursively like
http://myserver.com/default.aspx?action=fetch&uuid=test1
http://myserver.com/default.aspx?action=fetch&uuid=test2 and so on
3. And with each call to the URL in step 2, the incoming xml is to be mapped to an IDoc.
I will be creating a ABAP proxy to initiate the calls.
I would like some ideas so as to have a less complex approach to the solution.

Neeraj

SOAP adapter and dynamic target URL

My scenario: synchronous communication ABAP Proxy <=> XI <=> External WebServices.
There is a need to have configurable (dynamic) target URL for SOAP Adapter. This target should be configurable from ABAP Proxy. Any idea how can I achieve my goal?
Some additional notes why I need configurable target URL. I've multiple WebService instances which has identical interfaces and the only difference is target URL. I see no need to define for each webservice different SOAP Adapter. The other thing is that customer want to have configuration of destination (target) url on backend system (where ABAP Proxy is used).

Check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/29/5bd93f130f9215e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
It's possible to set the URL for Soap dynamically.
To process adapter attributes in the message header of the XI message, set the Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes indicator and the Variable Transport Binding indicator.
You can evaluate the following attributes in the message header:
Description: You can set the entire URL.
Technical name: TServerLocation

Dynamic Webservices Client

Hey ,
I have an application which requires to talk to 2 different published webservices
from 2 different systems. Now instead od designing static webservice clients for
each of these systems(which would involve having separate proxy jars etc),
I am planning to design a dynamic webservice locator and invoker....
I know that we can have webservice clients which are dynamic to the extent that
we can create proxy objects at runtime once we know the endpoint WSDL..
eg:
ServiceFactory factory = ServiceFactory.newInstance();
QName serviceName =new QName targetNamespace,"net.xmethods.services.stockquote.StockQuoteService");
QName portName = new QName(targetNamespace,"net.xmethods.services.stockquote.StockQuotePort");
QName operationName = new QName("urn:xmethods-delayed-quotes","getQuote");
URL wsdlLocation = new URL("http://services.xmethods.net/soap/urn:xmethods-delayed-quotes.wsdl");
// create service
Service service = factory.createService(wsdlLocation, serviceName);
// create call Call call = service.createCall(portName, operationName);
My question on this...if I have a dynamic approach like the above what are the
pros and cons..I guess it would surely have more overhead compared to a static
client...?
Secondly ,is it even feasible to design a dynamic client in such a way that the
endpoint WSDL could also be an unknown and my generic client would also locate
the end-point dynamically and then invoke dynamic calls as above...
If anybody can share their insights on a dynamic webservice client , I would really
appreciate it...

Hi Krish,
In WSDL, the data types passed between applications are described in schema
and
this is key for interop. I dont know of any standard/natural mapping for
values types,
object reference, etc in a binary protocol (like JRMP, IIOP) to schema. For
eg:
say there is serializable object Foo, which is the argument to a remote
method in RMI.
Object Foo can have data + behavior. It may be possible (not always, i
think) to
describe the data in Foo as schema, but how can one describe the behavior?
So, if WSDL is the only contract between the server and client (key
requirement
for interop), then IMHO RMI can not be described by WSDL.
Also, WSDL was designed for future extensions and does not map well to a
programming API. WSIF trys to expose all the gory WSDL details and its apis
are very clumsy.
These were the two main reason to vote it down at JAX-RPC EC.
I am attaching an example that shows, how to introspect WSDL and invoke
a method using JAX-RPC (with little extension to the std api). Also, it
shows
how to handle complex type without data binding. Will this solve your
problem?
I am very interested to get your feedback on this.
BTW, This example will only work with WLS 8.1.

-manoj

Mike...thanx for the inputs...
As per ur suggestion...I have taken this offline and mailed u [email protected]
also....lemme know if thatz cool...
there are my observations..lemme know what am i missing..
1) The main difference I see between JAX-RPC and WSIF, is that with WSIFclient
it is easier to port to services talking
via other ports like RMI,IIOP etc...where as JAX-RPC is understandsonly SOAP(atleast
for now).
2) Lets assume for the time-being that I would be interested only to talkto services
talking SOAP.
Then why do I need WSIF ?
3) I can have a JX-RPC client , I can have a similar generic(reflection)code
for built-in/primitive datatypes and for
complex datatypes I anywayz would be doing the same thing(requiringthe java
representation of the datatype unless I use
something like JROM or something which I do not want to) in JAX-RPC orWSIF.
>
4) As far as syncronous or asyncronous invocation is concerned , myunderstanding
is that my client call is going to remain the
same ..the service provider is going to either use message-oriented orRPC
on his side...
Again assuming that I am interested only with services talking SOAP, thiscould
be my generic client invocation design
Background is that my client is going to run from within a WLS70sp1
Actors:
a) webSevice1ClientSessionBean : This will be a stateless session beanwhich might
have knowledge about webSevice1's end-point ,
complex dataTypes if any.
(There would be other session beans like this which would haveknowledge about
other specific webservice)
b) GenericWebServiceInvoker : This will have knowledge about everythingwithin
the webservice-standards/protocols.
eg:
//set weblogic ServiceFactory
System.setProperty( "javax.xml.rpc.ServiceFactory",
"weblogic.webservice.core.rpc.ServiceFactoryImpl" );
//create service factory
ServiceFactory factory = ServiceFactory.newInstance();
//define qnames
String targetNamespace = "http://soapinterop.org/";
QName serviceName = new QName( targetNamespace, "SimpleTest" );
QName portName = new QName( targetNamespace, "SimpleTestSoap" );
QName operationName = new QName( "http://soapinterop.org/",
"echoStruct" );
//create service
Service service = factory.createService( serviceName );
TypeMappingRegistry registry = service.getTypeMappingRegistry();
TypeMapping mapping = registry.getTypeMapping(
SOAPConstants.URI_NS_SOAP_ENCODING );
mapping.register( SOAPElement.class,
new QName( "http://soapinterop.org/xsd", "SOAPStruct" ),
new SOAPElementCodec(),
new SOAPElementCodec() );
//create call
Call call = service.createCall();
//set port and operation name
call.setPortTypeName( portName );
call.setOperationName( operationName );
call.addParameter( "inputStruct",
new QName( "http://soapinterop.org/xsd", "SOAPStruct" ),
ParameterMode.IN);
All parameter values specific to a particular webservice likeQName,targetNameSpace
etc will be sent to this invoker by
webSevice1ClientSessionBean. The GenericWebServiceInvoker will invokethe
service
(using reflection for primitive/builtin types) and alwayz accept anobject
from the service operation and just return
that "object" back the webSevice1ClientSessionBean.ThewebSevice1ClientSessionBean
will know how to interpret the
complexdataType or builtInDatatype whichever is returned.TheGenericWebServiceInvoker
will not have any application
specific knowledge...it will just have knowledge about how todiscover, invoke
any SOAP webservice...
Somewhere in the beginning of GenericWebServiceInvoker I will use JAXRto
discover services from UDDI if needed.
This way I will have a generic webservice client invocation frameworkwhich
can invoke any service which talks SOAP.
Now lemme know how the above picture looks and what is missing...
I have some questions :
1) Incase of complex dataTypes, I will have itz XML representation inthe
publisher's WSDL and the publisher will give
me the java representation of the complex dataType.But how does myclient
JAX-RPC know how to map the XML
to the java representation unless I specify the mapping somewhere?Does
the TypeMapping/TypeMappingRegistry do this ?
Thanx,

You know, it's really cool to hear guys thinking things through, before
they "jump
on a bandwagon" :-)
Anyway, I suspect that the performance overhead of doing reflection,
and heavy
server-side code intrusion, is what has made a lot of developers balk
at using
WSIF. I would check out the IBM newsgroups, to see what the general
developer
sentiment is on WSIF.
To achieve any sort of decent performance with JAX-RPC based webservices,
you
need to do a fair amount of optimization/tuning on both the client and
server
side. I recommend setting up your own "lab environment" for doing these,
so you
can see exactly what's making things improve/degrade. If you are really
interested
in this topic, we should talk about it "off-line".
In general, the more "dynamic" things are on the client side, the slower
things
will be, the more you really need to question if you really need them
to be dynamic
:-) Does making it "dynamic" really offer something that you can't get
from a
"static" version? If not, who's really benefiting here. I mean, com'n.
All you
really want to do is invoke an operation, right? By the time you get
all the information
it takes to do a dynamic invocation (i.e. port, target namespace, data
type for
input argument, serializer/deserializer for each non-built-in data type,
etc.),
your client looks like you are trying to boot a PDP-11! LOL! For those
of you
who don't know what a PDP-11 is, it's an early computer (from the'60-'70),
that
you actually had to use switches to create the "binary instructions"
to boot it
up!
From a PM's (product manager's) perpective, I wouldn't even let thedevelopers
modify "working" EJBs to expose them as a web service. Alarm bells should
go off
in your head, if you have to modify existing server-side code to expose
a company
asset as a web service.
Response to OT comment: WebLogic Server 7.0 uses its own implementation
of JAX-RPC
1.0. This implementation, I've been told by one of the BEA engineering
that worked
on it, has been certified to be JAX-RPC compliant by Sun. Don't know
about Apache
Axis, in this regard. I use both Apache Axis and the JWSDP with WLS 6.1,
but I
haven't really spent a lot of time looking for differences between our
(BEA's)
implementation, and theirs.

Hey Mike ...

it a year
back and itz not yet stabilized is what is holding me back...
U mite have a better hold of what WSIF can do...whatever I could grasp
from yesterday
is this...
a)It reads meta data from the wsdl and using a reflection mechanismcalls
the
service operations...
I see examples with primitive datatypes..but what happens when
complex/custom
datatypes come into play...
Would the client code differ between synchronous invocation toasynchronous
invocation...
And aleast in the samples for the WSIF distribution for connectors like
EJB/JMS
etc, the code does not look generic anymore..there are specific calls
to operations
and parameters...
Also Mike , what is the trade-off on performance between having adynamic
client(lets
say based on WSIF)or having a static client...the extent of reflection
a dynamic
client will have to do and create SAAJ objects at runtime will beenormous..
Also I know that there is a relevant API...but can u give an examleshowing
me
how I could discover services from UDDI ..?
Out of this current topic...does BEA use itz own implementation of SOAP
in itz
webservice implementation...and how does it compare with AXIS ?

Hi Krish,
Well, I guess that's how things are when "needed functionality exceeds
the current
state of a technology" :-)
I (not necessarily BEA) look at it like way:
1. IBM co-authored the "Big 3" XML grammars for the current web
services
stack.
2. IBM always appears to be "there, somewhere" in the new crop ofproposed
additional
XML grammars for "partially agreed upon extension layers", for theweb
services
stack.
3. IBM donated it's original SOAP implementation to the open-sourcecommunity.
4. IBM came up with WSIF over a year ago.
5. IBM's WSTK uses the Apache Axis stuff.
6. A lot of the JAX-RPC/JAXM API is based on the Apache SOAP and Apache
Axis implementations.
7. It looks like IBM may have donated WSIF to Axis.
8. You appear to need something like WSIF :-)
So, there's probably at least a 60/40 chance that some WSIF-like thing
will make
it into the JWSDP, right? If you want "higher odds", you should talk
to the folks
working on the JWSDP, as they are somewhat "in charge" here :-)

It

at
runtime, and it allows the calling service to defer choosing a
binding
until
runtime."
Correct?
This is a relatively new "unofficial" addition to the Web ServicesStack,
so it
is not in WLS 7.0 (or Sun's JWSDP) yet. See the following link formore

Calling Webservice from Adobe form - Webservice URL Issue

Dear Friends,
I have developed a webservice and calling it from an Adobe form. I have downloaded the WSDL file from tcode SOAMANAGER. When I create a data connection from the Adobe form I use this WSDL file and the form elements gets created automatically and I drag and drop them into the form. The issue is when I click on the Submit(Execute) button the Webservice URL is always pointed to the client from where the file was downloaded and its hard-coded ( for example if i download the wsdl file from client 300 then the URL would be http://<location>/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/z_web_getmat/300/z_web_getmat/z_web_getmat). So if i execute the form from client 200 its not working. How to make this URL dynamic so that the webservice gets executed from the client from where this form is called. Please advice.

Hi,
You have to handle it in your form on submit button calling the web service:
Write below java script code at submit event to change the URL at run time:
var tempsoapAddress = xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection.getElement("soapAddress").value;
var tempwsdladdress = xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection.getElement("wsdlAddress").value;
var ServerPath = body.systemConfig.system.rawValue;
var client = <Get Client from a data attribute>
var Soap_PreServerPort = "http://";
var Soap_PostServerPort = "/sap/bc/soap/rfc?sap-client=";
var SoapAddress = Soap_PreServerPort + ServerPath + Soap_PostServerPort + client ;
var Wsdl_PreServerPort = "http://";
var Wsdl_PostServerPort1 = "/sap/bc/soap/wsdl11?services=ZBAPI_PO_CREATE2&sap-client=";
var wsdlAddress = Wsdl_PreServerPort + ServerPath + Wsdl_PostServerPort1 + client ;
xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection.getElement("soapAddress").value = SoapAddress;
xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection.getElement("wsdlAddress").value = wsdlAddress;
xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection.execute(0);
xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection.getElement("soapAddress").value = tempsoapAddress;
xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection.getElement("wsdlAddress").value = tempwsdladdress;
xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection = null;
Change the variable wsdlAddress as per your requirement. The above code is just a sample.
For getting the client pass it in a datasource variable attribute at time of downloading the form. At time of submit get the value of that variable and use it to form the url.

SWF in SAP BSP Pages - Dynamic webservice connection

Hi,
We are using webservice connections in xcelisus to connect to webservices on R3.
In the webservice connection , we have imported the wsdl from sap and generated the connection.
Then we have the Hostname and port of SAP server in the webservice connection.
Once the development is completed and swf is generated , we have created a bsp application and placed the swf file in it on our SAP Dev system.
So now when we access the bsp application on Dev, the Dev webservice is called in the swf and data is retrieved.
Once the bsp is transported to QA system , as the webservice in swf is still pointing to Dev system, the data is retrieved from the Dev system only.
Is there a way to use falsh variables and dynamically call the webservice on the SAP system , based on the system it is called from, so that when we call the bsp application on QA system , it call the webservice on QA system instead of the one on Dev system.
Thanks,
Tanuj

Hi Tanuj,
unfortunately this is not possible within Xcelsius, take a look at following thread:

Setting the webservice url at run time for a execute button in adobe form

Hi,
I am using Data connection from the wsdl file to interact with the backend, the button generated from the data connection is of type execute which has the url of the webservice in the object property "Webservice URL" and name of the FM in the interface name. My problem is at present the form is working fine but when the same form transported to QA and PRD them the url of the webservice gets change. hence the same button wont function.
The solution is either we do the changes manually in all the system or pass the url at run time. Please proide me the solution if there is a way to set this url in the execute button at runtime.
Thanks in advance.

Why don't you pass in the URL via an XML input file and bind a hidden text field in your form to that element in your XML? Then use javascript to modify the docReady event of the submit button to something like this:
var url = textFieldWithURL.rawValue;
this.event__click.submit.target = url;

How to get Dynamic Converter URL

Hi all
I need to get dynamic converter url of document like http://<localhost>:<port>/cs/idcplg?IdcService=GET_DYNAMIC_CONVERSION&dID=7411.
I use DOC_INFO_BY_NAME and i can find document url using 'DocUrl'. But i cannot find anything about dynamic converter.
How can i get the url just using RIDC?
Best Regards
Qian

Hi ,
Whether i can get which format will be converted(convert format in Dynamic Converter Admin Configuration Setting) ?
This is applicable for the UI alone where in all the formats that you want to have "HTML" option shown will be added from the above option .
As for getting Dynamic Conversion using the IdcService , all of the contents can be used irrespective of whether they are added in the DC Admin section or not . So if you want to show the HTML format then all you need to do is to call the GET_DYNAMIC_CONVERSION service and pass the dID of the respective contents .
Thanks,
Srinath

Question re: purpose of webservice URL

Hi.
I am slowly going through the VideoPhoneLabs example.
Trying to figure out the line of code below at the start of the <mx:Script> block...there doesn't seem to be any other references to the WebServiceUrl in the project so not sure what the purpose of the variable is. Cheers.
//please insert your webservice URL here for exchanging
private const WebServiceUrl:String = "your webservice URL";

Oops!
Just found the PHP stuff I was looking for: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1068738#1068738
Nice.

Mapping schema one Webservice Url to another Webservice URL

Hi ,
I am working on Webserivce to Webservice communication(converting one response URL format to another response URL format) through SOA suite.
The usecase: I have one Webservice URL(WSDL URL) which contains UniqueID,name etc in that scehama.
I have to communicate with another web service url (Helloworld url) which contains some String in its schema.
SO I want to convert Helloworld URL(one response URL) schema to first Webservice URL(which contains UniqueDI,name etc,I have get the response format of UniqueID,name etc from HelloWorld URL which gives response like 'Helloworld name'.
So how do u do this?
I hope u understand my problem,I need to get this done as soon as possible.It is very urgent.
If u guys want me to talk on phone,I will talk and explain the situation on phone.
I am from bangalore.I can talk to any phone.
Please help me as it is critical situation for me.
Thanks in advance

Hi neeraj,
Thank you very much for your response.
As you mentioned about A ,B and C,
I will explain about the usecase in those terms.
A has request and response schemas.A has some response format. Both A and B are intended for meter reading after we give some input from A.B is from external vendor(external refarence).That vendor is going to give their WSDL url (It is not yet given).
I am giving the Oracle Jdewveloper SOA composite editor picture also( I am assuming this based on input,Correct me If I am wrong):
A sits in 'exposed services' swimlane and B sits in 'External References' Swimlane.I want to create one BPEL Process (That is C) which acts as bridge between both services.
The requirement is : Request goes from A (A will have its own request and response schemas) to BPEL process(C).BPEL PRocess ( C ) talks to B and it has to take the(transform the) response from B and it should transform that response into A response fornat.Because A can't understand B's response.So B's response should be converted into A's response format.
I assume that A and B services response formats have similar kind of fields(suppose A has one field like name ,B may have it as company name.I need to map or transform those parameters using transform activity(This is assumption)
That was the reuirement.
In order to get that, Do I need to map A's response schema to B's response Schema so that whatever response we get from B is converted into A's response format?
How do I send request from A(What happens to response schema of A?) and How do I transform from B's response format into A's response format?
I hope this has given clear picture about the requirement.
Can u give guidance in this regard?
Thanks in advance.
Please help me out as it is very critical.
