Hi Nagaraju,
Is the server where the service is deployed internal or external in regard ti your bpel server? If it is internal and you can not ping it then there is something wrong with your network settings, e.g. your ip, netmask or gateway settings. In this case can you ping other servers in your local network? If it is a service which you call on the internet there may be two problems.
- Your server can not resolve the hostname. Then you must either configure your dns correctly or add entries to your host file which is a bad practice for internet addresses because they are subjected to change, try if you can lookup the ip from your bpel server with 'nslookup servername'
- Your network is protected by a firewall which does not allow you to access the internet directly. If there is a proxy server in your network you can add it to your bpel oc4j container settings. Go to EM website, select your oc4j_bpel container, administration tab, server properties, change -Dhttp.proxySet=false to -Dhttp.proxySet=true, add -Dhttp.proxyHost=myproxy.company.com, add -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080, add -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=bpelserver.company.com (offcourse you have to replace myproxy.company.com and bpelserver.company.com with your own settings)
I hope this helpes you out.
