Expose AM methods as web services

Hi All,
As searched results from the forum, most of posts talking about how to consume WS by generating java file from wsdl. My question is, can we expose an AM method as web services? If answer is yes, may I have some high level steps for following up?
If we expose AM method as an web service, does that mean we have to pack all FND/OA classes in war file then deploy it into OC4J container?
We are using an old AS and even don't have standalone OC4J server installed. Even I can install a standalone OC4J but I still don't know how to resolve above question.
Thanks & Regards,
KJ

I have used Glue (http://www.themindelectric.com/products/glue/glue.html) to expose some of our stuff as Web Services. I recently found this on serverside. It's pretty good.

I believe that the middleware they use can be plugged into IPlanet. There is also an article in the knowledge base on the IPlanet site.

Unable to expose a method in web service

Hi,
My scenario is to expose a method in service. This method will take date as input & should return all the rows.
To Implement this, I took employeeVO of HR DB(Employees Table) & created a ViewCriteria "GetEmpbyHireDate" with Hiredate as input param.
& in AMImpl the code is
public BaseEmployeeVOImpl getEmployeesByHireDate(Date hiredate){
BaseEmployeeVOImpl baseEmployeeVO = (BaseEmployeeVOImpl) findViewObject("BaseEmployee1");
baseEmployeeVO.setApplyViewCriteriaName("GetEmpbyHireDate");
baseEmployeeVO.setNamedWhereClauseParam("pHireDate", hiredate);
baseEmployeeVO.executeQuery();
return baseEmployeeVO;
The issue is I'm not able to see this method in "Available" list of Web Service Wizard.
Help me in understanding what is missing ?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. from Jdev Help I understood that "Only methods with simple attributes as parameters and return types that are either void or view rows will appear in the list." & my method is returning rows of a EmployeeVO.

Hi,
2 comments:
1) View Criteria can be directly exposed as find methods. Its on the last wizard page (just click the View Criteria tab). So no need for an Impl method
2) If you wanted to expose a method, then the documentation I think is crystal clear: "oracle.jbo.server.ViewRowImpl or any subtype" Your method returns BaseEmployeeVOImpl (see the difference ?)

Exposing Java method as Web service

Hello,
I would like to know how can I make a Java Method expose as a webservice using BPEL.
I have created a java class To do some processing. I want to make this as a service. Is there any sample code to do this? Please provide any links..

If you used the Web Service Wizard the easiest thing to do is:
1. Delete the WS class - when prompted also delete all artifacts - you should now see your original class files. *
2. Add extra methods.
3. Regenerate web service using same parameters as previously (make sure you use the same namespaces).
(4. Apply any customisations you made)
*Occasionally this will not work and will not remove the references to the WS artifacts from the project file, in this case you will need to manually remove them from the project xml file.
You can also edit the project to make the classes visible (can't remember the exact steps for this, it's been a while), change the classes and regenerate services, however this will overwrite any customisations you have made, so is little different to removing the artifacts and regenerating.
Finally you can make the classes visible as above, updatethem and then manually edit the other web service artefacts (<name>-java-wsdl-mapping.xml,webservices.xml, oracle-webservices .xml, Interface, etc). This is a lot more tedious than using autogeneration.

Exception while exposing Application Module Methods as Web Service

Hello Everyone,
I am working on Jdeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 version and tried to expose one method of application module as web service. To do this, i used "Service Interface" tab of Application module within Jdeveloper and Jdeveloper had generated all interfaces, stubs, code for the Session bean required for web service. I am now trying to "Test Web Service" from the implementation class generated then i am getting this error in Weblogic deployment. Any help/pointers would be highly appreciated.
I used another installation of Jdeveloper same version at my collegues desktop but getting the same error. Not sure, if this version of Jdeveloper is having issue in exposing application module as web service. I think that database related exception can be ignored as no database call is being made by the application.

Expose a class method as web service

hi ABAPers,
is it possibile to expose a class method as web service? I would like to write a base class with common code, while derived classes implement specific application logic.
I have both R/3 6.40 and Netweaver 7.0 kernels, so I'm interested in both.
thank you.

No, it is not yet possible.
You can only create a web service for an RFC Function Module, Function Group or Business Object.
You may create a RFC FM as a wrapper to your Class methods and create a web service on the RFC FM.

Exposing a process as web service on Oracle BPM 11g

Hi!
Does somebody know how can I expose a process as a web service on Oracle BPM 11g? How does it works?
In the version 10.3, when we exposed a process as web service it always had 3 default methods: startSession, getInstanceStatus and discardSession, is it the same in the 11g version?
Where can I found some info about it? Any tutorial?
Thanks a lot!
Ana

Typically you would use a Message Start event to start the process in conjunction with a Message End event. This will allow your process to be called as an asynchronous web service.
In the "Implementation" section for the start event, you specify the input parameters. You can specify "Define Interface" to directly define the interface, or use an existing interface from the BPM Catalog (the From Catalog option).
For further details on the different event types and their use cases, refer to the modeling and implementation guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15176/toc.htm
You can test the web service and examine the WSDL and endpoints by using FMW control (Enterprise Manager). In the menu on the left hand side: expand SOA -> SOA-Infra -> <Partition Name> -> Composite Name, then click the "Test" button at the top.

Exposing RFC as a Web Service

Hello All,
I am working on a SOAP to SOAP (Backend as ECC where I am exposing an RFC as Web Service). Once the Web service is generated for RFC and the WSDL is imported in PI, I can see that all the fields in different nodes become mandatory.
Is it how normally Web Service for BAPI works or can this behaviour (mandatory / optional) be controlled ?
Also when I execute the end to end scenario via SOAP UI, I don't get any error back but also neither get the Return table nor the Sales Order NO. I am using the BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2.
Can it be because of no COMMIT (The BAPI uses external commit although this reason seems less likely as executing a RFC wo any commit atleast gives me a Sales Order no) ?
How can this call be analysed in backend ECC system ? (As I assume that messages will not be visible in SXMB_MONI as explained by the Harald's thread below. I am currently in process of getting authorization of SOAMANAGER logs but wondering how it'll help?
Thanking you in advance.
SOAP to SOAP scenario: XML messages not visible in SXMB_MONI
Cheers

Hi,
Please see the SOAP ststud..
http://<host>:5<sys#>00/mdt/amtServlet
also you might check any error logs.
The error is because of invalid xml document. So check the validity of the xml message ie. after first mapping i.e Req mapping.
For this you can refer this -

Benefits of exposing function module as web services

Hi All,
We are developing a case study about exposing function modules as web services.
Those web services would be later used for integration to SAP box with a Java application.
Kindly help me with the pros and cons of exposing function modules as web services when compared to SAP PI. Also please do quote some examples, wherever possible.
Thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun,
Pros--->
1)Exposing FM as Web Services is indeed a good choice when you want service consumer to be platform and language independent.
i.e it can be consumed by .Net, java or any other language.
2) You are moving towards SOA
3) Composing Business Process by concatenating different functional modules is easy.
4) Complexity is less while consuming services Java, CAF etc.
Cons----> Performance for Web Services is comparatively less than JCo .
If you are bringing PI in between landscape, you are increasing one more layer of middleware which would also hit performance.
The benefit which PI can give is monitoring your company wide integrations at one central point when you have huge systems.
Hope this helps.

Exposing Inbound Interfaces as Web Service

Hi,
when it comes to expose XI interfaces as web services, the XI documentation quotes:
"Sie können sowohl von Outbound- als auch von Inbound-Message-Interfaces WSDL-Beschreibungen erzeugen."
-> i.e. Inbound interfaces can be exposed as web services.
But the web service definition wizard expects the quotation of an outbound interface. So am I right when I say that I always need an outbound interface? If yes, why is it possible to expose inbound interfaces???
Cheers,
Heiko

Hi,
no, inbound interfaces can only call web services
that are exposed on some other web servers
only outobund XI interfaces can be exposed as web services
(in this case XI acts as a web server)
and other applicaitons can call this outbound interface

1. can ORACLE BPEL bind a RESTful web service?
2. can a BPEL process be exposed to a RESTful web service?

Exposing Business Object as Web Service

Hi,
I've designed a Business Object and would like to expose its findAll Operation as a web service. The wizard tells that the operation has Improper operation message cardinality". While browsing through saphelp I found this: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/44/24128b347c1c9fe10000000a11466f/content.htm
Thats nice to know but doesn't solve my problem. How do I create a web service that returns ALL objects?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Bastian
edit:
this on solved it:
CE/CAF: Expose service as Webservice

Hi,
you need to create wrapper method of findAll,
The reason you are not able to expose it as service because findAll resturning array of values instead of one response (or candinality of return is 0..n). So create one wrapper complex type add your BO as datatype of that complex type with multiple cardinality,
In new method add this complex type as response (with cardinality 0..1) and within code call standard findAll and mapp return value to complext type.
It will work.

TP3 bug when exposing app module to web service

Hello,
I created a simple appmodule with 3 methods:
public class AppModuleTestImpl extends ApplicationModuleImplApp
    /**This is the default constructor (do not remove).
    public AppModuleTestImpl()
    public String method1()
        return "hello world";
    public SomeBean method2()
        return new SomeBean();
    public String method3( SomeBean bean )
        return "hello world";
}I want to expose those methods in a web service but in the "service custom methods" selection I can only see method1 even if SomeBean implements java.io.Serializable:
public class SomeBean implements Serializable
    private String someField;
    public SomeBean()
    public void setSomeField(String someField)
        this.someField = someField;
    public String getSomeField()
        return someField;
}The documentation says: "Your custom method parameters and return types can use any datatype that implements the java.io.Serializable interface."
When I look in the message tab I see this:
Business Components: Method "method2():SomeBean" cannot be exposed via service interface because the return type "(package).SomeBean" is not supported
Business Components: Method "method3(SomeBean):String" cannot be exposed via service interface because parameter type "(package).SomeBean bean" is not supported
where (package) is the correct package of the bean.
Is this a bug?
Thanks
