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

Exposing EJB interfaces as Web Service

Hi all,
I created a prototype using EJBs and Web Services and found out that JDeveloper only allows to expose as Web
Services the Remote interfaces of EJBs and not the Local ones.
Assuming I have included Local and Remote interfaces for each of my EJBs exposed, my questions is, after deploying the application on OC4J 10g are the Web Services accessing the EJBs through the Local interface (I assume it should) but then why I am only allowed to expose the Remote one as Web Service?
TIA,
Best Regards,
Giovanni

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.

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 -

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.

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.

Binding RESTful web service / being exposed to a RESTful web service

Hi , I have two quick questions
1. can ORACLE BPEL bind a RESTful web service?
2. can a BPEL process be exposed to a RESTful web service?

Bumping back to the top of the list.
Has anyone got any experience with RESTful web services saving to an item vs. a collection? Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

Hi Rajendar,
I think the problem with having empty interfaces, or interfaces without methods for EJBs, is that they don't really make "sense". After deploying your EJB, a client application will use JNDI or dependency injection to access your EJB. So in your case it will look something like this
@EJB
    mytestSSBLocal myejb; //(In this case we are using the local interface)
In the second step, you will want to do something will your EJB, but since mytestSSBLocal doesn't define any methods, there is nothing you can do with your ejb.
The Exception is telling you that weblogic couldn't find a complaint interface for your EJB.
best regards, Nicolas

Help: Exposing BAPI's as Web Services in WAS 6.20

Hello,
I'm very new to WAS and I don't have access to a development environment yet (network issues). I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on the following:
I'd like to expose certain BAPI's as Web Services in a way that my .NET client can talk SOAP directly to WAS 6.20 (without having to generate proxies). Is this possible?
Also, is there a Web Service Creation Wizard in 6.20 that makes the process of exposing BAPI's simple, similar to the wizard in 6.40? To date I've been able to navigate the BOR and generate WSDL for the BAPI's that I'm interested in however, this doesn't get me all the way there. I'm looking for documentation on how to make the Web Service interface for those BAPI's generally available through WAS.
I'll take anything at this point. Even a pointer to some documentation.
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
Yes, it is possible in Web AS 6.20 to expose BAPIs as Web services. You find the exact documentation of how to do this in the SAP Service Marketplace: http://service.sap.com/connectors. Then go to "SOAP Processor" --> "Media Library". However, the wizard that helps you create the Web service is not yet available in 6.20.

Susanne

Exposing business rules as web services in 11g

Hi all,
I have deployed my business rules in Enterprise Manager, but the test button is disabled and I'm getting the next message: "In Enterprise Manager only can be tested composites that are exposed as web services". Does anybody knows how can I do that?

There are a couple of ways you can do it.
1. Drag a Web Service Adapter in the 'Exposed Services' panel in your composite and during configuration choose the WSDL of the Decision service i.e Rules. This will expose the rules as a web service if not already.
2. Double Click on the Reference icon on the Decision Service component (small rounded blue arrow). An Update Interface window will pop up. Check box 'Create Composite Service with soap binding' and select the appropriate port type from the available list.
You can now invoke your rule as web services and even test them from the EM console

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

Expose Existing EJB as Web Service

Hello,
I've recently installed studio enterprise. I've written and deployed the requisite "Hello, World!" stateless ejb. Now, I would like to expose that existing bean as a web service. I know that it simply requires a new interface and some new xml. When I try to expose it with the studio 8 ide, it seems to want to generate a new class file for the web service. Is there a clear tutorial on how to expose an existing bean as a web service without generating unnecessary classes?
All suggestions much appreciated!

Thanks for the quick reply! I took a look, and they are similar to what I am familiar with. I think what I am looking for is specific to the Java Studio IDE. I know that all I need to do is add an interface. The IDE should ( optimally ) genereate all the additional xml, wsdl, etc. This is all easy to do in WebSphere through RAD. I am looking for the equivalent in the Studio Enterprise IDE. The only tutorials I have found have been muddled at best.
I don't want the IDE to generate a new bean class. I just need a new interface to expose the bean as a Web Service. The IDE should be able to incorporate the interface into the existing jar and provide the wsdl.

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.

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 ?)
