Exposing business services as webservices

Hi All,
Im new to webservices.I have a running java web application.
I need to expose some methods as webservices.
Can it be possible to create a single ear file,using which i can access webapplication and webservice wsdl file and how
Regards,
Bhuvan.

Yes, you can mix different type of J2EE artifacts in a single application. The easiest way to do this may be to use JDeveloper 10g (or the 11g Tech Preview) and to build you web service application, then add the remaining of you web application into the same project.
Hope it helps,
-Eric

  • Expose Business rules as Web Service

    Hi,
    I'm quite new to business rules, and I haven't found any definite information about can I and how expose business rules application as Web Service? In Decision Functions I can check "Will be invoked as webservice", but how can I deploy it on server and so on?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi PK,
    Sorry What i meant was composite service, not web service
    Used wrong wording
    In your composite if you have only businessrules as a component and if you are exposing your BR as service, and if u deploy that process it will give you a wsdl for that composite, which means for BR. Because the client is calling BR it self.

    I am able to test the business service i exposed as webservice without using BPEL .

  • OSB11gR1 - Invoking WebService with Authentication in Business Service

    Hi,
    I need to invoke a webservice from my OSB application. I have configured the webservice details in Business Service. I am calling the Business Service fom service callout where I pass the url via Routing Options. But the webservice which I invoke requires some authentication (username & password). Can you let me know how to pass this through service callout to business service
    Thanks,
    Bals

    The HTTP header field which contains the username & password for basic authentication is Authorisation . You may need to use a java callout for populating the value for this field as this has to be base 64 encoded.
    Example taken from wiki page for Basic authentication http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
    For example, given the user name Aladdin and password open sesame, the string Aladdin:open sesame is >Base64 encoded, resulting in QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==HTTP Header
    GET /private/index.html HTTP/1.0
    Host: localhost
    Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

  • Business Service attached to a clustered webservice published on OSR.

    I'm developing a customer's first SOA project. This project is about to put one of its many webservices into the OSB.
    The problem: I have this webservice in cluster (one cluster for eatch environment - development, accept and production) and the customer's IT polices dont let me change anything that is published in development when publishing it on the other environments.
    I have one OSB and one OSR for eatch environment to, so, the solution I'm trying to implement is to publish, on each environment, the environment's cluster urls on the OSR, on each environment's OSB publish a reference to the environment's OSR with the same name and, on the OEPE, make the Business Service consume the WSDL (by port) from that OSR (same name).
    This is working fine with only one webservice url published on each OSR. but I have tried several ways to publish a second url on OSR and the Business Service never got attached to both urls.
    So, de question is, is it possible to implement this solution? Where can I find some example? If it is not possible, Is there another way?
    Thanks.

    Can you test back-end MTOM end point through a route node and see if its working? I doubt the issue has nothing to do with SC but with the MTOM end-point implementation.
    non-MTOM endpoint received a MTOM message") error: hints that the service call out is sending a mtom message but the end-point is not accepting the message

  • Dynamic timeout for OSB proxy or business services

    The scenario we got here is that we will have multiple synchronous webservices implemented as OSB proxy services. These proxies will then invoke a common "routing" proxy that will determine which other OSB proxy or business services (JMS Request/Response) to call and does the dynamic routing.
    I understand that you can set a timeout at the business service level how long to wait for a response (at least when using the JMS transport). The problem is we got the requirement that the timeout value would be dependent on the role of the caller invoking the frontend webservice (this is done via some kind of lookup to determine the appropriate timeout setting for the invocation).
    Is this possible? I can't seem to find anything exposed in the transport header that allows me to set a timeout value during runtime. This means that the frontend proxy will be waiting for a response depending on the business service timeout setting. Can we implement a timeout in this frontend proxy somehow?
    Stumped right now over this. Thanks in advance for helping out.

    >
    Are there other reasons why you say it's not the most ideal way of development ?
    >
    Versioning binary files is always a pain. You can't compare them, you can't merge them ... Another point, if you put your jar archive with OSB artifacts under version control, you will most probably face issue related to end of line styles (mac, unix, windows).
    However, the most important point is usability. I want to version .proxy and .biz services to see right in IDE that I changed something and I should check that in for the others. I don't want to risk that I forget something. And I also want to see what other users committed, what sources they work on ... You loose all of that by versioning jar file. I would never go this way.

  • Writing a common business services Interface - J2EE?

    Hi Guys,
    Tanks for the previous help. The problem here is, if possible I would
    like to know some architectural approaches for following design
    question:
    We are basically building an enterprise application on J2EE Platform.
    The database tier underlying the application is accessed by more than
    one portal. Some of the portals are external to organization, but share
    the data stored in the database.
    What would be the best approach to address this problem? The basic idea
    is to write a re-usable common business service component in J2EE
    application and provide access to database at Application Server level?
    How can I make use of J2EE services/components such as JMS, EJB's to
    effectively allow other systems/portals to access database via J2EE
    container? Is XML a viable solution?
    thanks

    Thanks for the reply! So this means that application or external portalhas
    to make remote rmi:// call to access the session bean and invoke businessYes, if you want secure communications. You may also consider
    making your application WebServices enabled. Anyway, you need
    a clearly defined business layer. Otherwise your data won't be treated
    in a uniform way and you will end up with maintanance burden.
    methods? Is JMS is a overkill for this requirement?It really depends on what you should get as a result.
    If you need messaging, JMS is a good thing.

  • OSB Exposing Proxy Service as Web Service to external consumers

    Hi all,
    I am trying to expose my proxy service which I have defined in OSB11g to be exposed to external applications and consumers, rather than listening to a queue or using a business service to receive the traffic. What would be the best approach and practice to this issue? Needless to say that since I mentioned this proxy needs to be exposed as web service, I'll be expecting back response. The endpoint that I am getting as result of creating this proxy comes to be in following format:
    /<project_name>/Services/ProxyServices/MyProxy
    This fine for apps deployed on the same domain, but not if they are not deployed on the same domain.
    thanks in advance

    From the information shared you, looks like you want to create a SOAP over HTTP webservice in OSB which will be the one exposed to external consumers.
    1. So to create such a Proxy service, you will need to define the interface using a WSDL (as mentioned by Pierluigi) first.
    2. Once done, you can create a Proxy (SOAP/HTTP) based using the above WSDL. Then implement your business logic in the message flow.
    3. As a part of the configuration, you can define the context root of the service. (by default you might be getting /<project_name>/Services/ProxyServices/MyProxy)
    You can customize as required, for e.x change this to /services/MyProxy
    4. The final URL that can be used to access the above proxy will be as follow:
    http://<hostname>:<port>/services/MyProxy for HTTP
    https://<hostname>:<port>/services/MyProxy for HTTPS accordingly.
    Depending on the way your domain is configured (managed servers) you can change the hostname and port.
    So irrespective of where this service is deployed, you should be able to access it.
    Do let me know in case my understanding is incorrect.
    Thanks,

  • Business Services development with jDeveloper

    We are making use of the Business Services feature in JDE to expose business functions as web services, that's great and working.
    we have one problem with jDeveloper during development.
    we can create a new business service from OMW in JDE and invoke jDev from there, that's fine.
    then we can put codes in the project in jDev, that's fine.
    then we can publish the code as J2EE web service, that works as well.
    then if we restart jDeveloper after that, the J2EE web service doesn't work in the jDev embeded web server any more.
    we always have to delete the web service in the project and go through the same wizard steps to generate the web service again.
    it's very annoying when you have more than a handful of web services you want to expose.
    and if you use the WSDL in a client project to call this web service, you have to remember to give the web service the same name when re-generating otherwise you have to reimport the WSDL again on client side, it can be another huge pain if the client is Oracle BPEL.
    so my question is, why is this happening? is it some settings in jDev that we didn't set right? or is it a bug in jDEv and is there a work around?
    thanks in advanced!

  • Creating a "Business Service" from a WSDL: Can't initialize WsdlEntryHelper

    I'm working through a "HelloWorld" setup of Weblogic (10.0.3.5) and OSB (11.1.1.5.0) using OEPE 11.1.1.7.2.
    I have a OSB Project with a Weblogic Web Service. I've generated a WSDL and when I try to copy/paste or drag-and-drop or load the WSDL file through the Business Service Configuration I always get the following error:

    If it helps, the WSDL is linked below. Any ideas? Thanks.
    http://pastie.org/3438419

    I was able to recreate the test WS project and get to the same error as before. The difference is I didn't create an EAR project nor endpoint interfaces. It published fine with this bare-bones setup.
    Can someone please take a look at my steps and see if I'm doing anything wrong and if you know how to get around it? Trying to get just the most simple local WS on OSB has taken days and I really need to get to work on something productive!

    STEPS FOR CREATING A TEST WS
    ============================
    1) File -> New -> WebLogic Web Services -> Web Service Project
    a) Project name: Foo_WS
    b) Location: C:\workspaces\osb\TEST0_WS
    c) Target runtime: Oralce WebLogic Servier 11gR1 PatchSet 4
    d) Default Configuration
    e) EAR Membership: unchecked
    d) Finish
    2) Under "Servers" tab, right click the WebLogic Server and add Foo_WS
    3) In the "Foo_WS" project Right click 'src' -> New WebLogic Web Service
    a) Name: Foo
    b) Package: foo
    c) Do not check 'Generate Service Endpoint Interface'
    d) Click Finish
    3) Load Foo.java
    a) Change Foo.hello() to return a String and take a String argument
    b) Change the class annotation to:
    @WebService(name = "Foo", targetNamespace = "http://foo", serviceName = "FooService", portName = "FooPort")
    4) Republish to the server
    5) Check that it is running, load "http://localhost:7001/Foo_WS/FooService?WSDL". See output:

    <soap:address location="http://localhost:7001/Foo_WS/FooService"/>
    </port>
    </service>
    </definitions>
    6) Back to OEPE: Create New OSB Configuration Project: name = Foo_Conf, ignored advanced settings, Finish
    7) Add Foo_Conf to the server and publish. Now the OWL Server 11gR1 PatchSet 4 at localhost has 2 projects: Foo_Conf and Foo_WS
    8) Create New OSB Project: Project name: Foo_SB, OSB Configuration: Foo_Conf
    9) Under Foo_WS project, right click Foo.java -> WebLogic Web Services -> Generate WSDL (created a .wsdl and .xsd)
    10) Drag-and-drop FooService.wsdl and FooService_schema1.xsd from Foo_WS to Foo_SB
    a) ERROR:
    Description Resource Path Location Type
    Could not initialize class com.bea.wli.sb.resources.wsdl.helpers.WsdlEntryHelper FooService.wsdl /Foo_SB line 1 ALSB Synchronization Error
    ...I have no idea how to procede. I've been using "The Definite Guide to SOA 2nd Edition" to guide me along. I'm stuck here because I want
    to create a business service and proxy service utilizing the first Web Service Project I made (Foo_WS).
    Any advice please?

  • Should i use Business system or Business service for a 3rd party file sys?

    Hi Gurus
    My requirement is to send a file from 3rd party client system to SAP ECC system.
    I want to confugure a file sender CC to pickup the file and send it to ECC system thru proxy.
    Now, after going thru the SAP definitions of 3rd party Business system (if the system is present the landscape and technical details are available) and Business service (if system's technical details is not available because it is not present in the landscape. Only the interface details are available, for ex: external webservice), i am not sure which one to use.
    What is the use of using a 3rd Business system instead of using business service in my current situation?
    In both the cases, i can use a file sender CC and pickup the file from a folder using FTP protocol.
    What is the criteria based on which i need to take this decision?
    And finally, how are the system name & host name details, which we given during 3rd party technical system definition in SLD useful?
    Many Thanks
    Chandra

    Hi Chandra
    Its always preferred to use Business service for communication with systems outside the landscape. As it does not refer to any SLD components and safe to use on internet etc.
    What is the use of using a 3rd Business system instead of using business service in my current situation?
    If you want to use 3rd party system you need to define party based communication and it acts as a party in production environment. You can also create a Standalone sytem in SLD for your use. Standalone technical system mostly refers to standalone Java applications in landscape.
    n both the cases, i can use a file sender CC and pickup the file from a folder using FTP protocol.
    What is the criteria based on which i need to take this decision?
    If your communication is party based and the 3rd party you refer is a party for ERP then it make sense to use a third party communication and use party name as well.By this i mean business wise. Else its always good to use Business service.
    And finally, how are the system name & host name details, which we given during 3rd party technical system definition in SLD useful?
    To use this third party system you need to register products on TS else you will not be able to see any Interface etc while configuring in ID. you need to add all details to it in SLD.
    Thanks
