Generating file via web service and store it on client's hard disc

Hello!
First of all I want to see that i am a beginner concerning Web Dynpro.
In the last weeks I made a lot of steps but now i am stuck with a problem, i didn't find a helpful solution for.
I want to create a textfile dynamically via web serivce. That works fine.
Now I am looking for a solution to write this file on client hd.
Is there a possibility to use simply the Java "File" class and give the path name or do I have to use the wd download ui?
For the downloadUI I only found examples concerning Files in MIME but i don't know what to do if my file is dynamically created during runtime and not stored on any hard disc.
I would be grateful if you could get me some hints to find the right way.

Hi
FileDownload UI is what you should be using!
Bind the 'resource' property of the FileDownload UI element to a context attribute (say with name SomeFile) of type
com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Resource
in local dictionary. Insert the following piece of code where the file content is dynamically being generated.
Byte[] dynamicFileConent = yourFileContentGenerateMethod(); // your logic
IWDResource resource =
WDResourceFactory.createResource(dynamicFileConent ,"FILE_NAME.TXT",WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setSomeFile(resource); // SomeFile is the name of the Context Attribute

How to download a file via web service in Windows Phone 8.1?

My project just got 2 part.
1.Pivot app
2.Webclient server (provide data for pivot app the view the data)
My concert that how do i do a download button to download a file via web services in to isolated storage.
urgent!

something like this:
public async System.Threading.Tasks.Task DownloadFile()
using (var client = new Windows.Web.Http.HttpClient())
var stream = await client.GetInputStreamAsync(new System.Uri("http://urltomyfile"));
var file = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.CreateFileAsync("myfile.txt", CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName);
using (var fileStream = await file.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.ReadWrite))
IBuffer buffer = new Windows.Storage.Streams.Buffer(1024);
while ((buffer = await stream.ReadAsync(buffer, buffer.Capacity, InputStreamOptions.None)).Length > 0)
await fileStream.WriteAsync(buffer);
await fileStream.FlushAsync();
how is your webservices offering the file?

Down-/Upload files via Web Services using a NON-SAP system!?

Hello,
is it possible to down-/upload files via web services using a NON-SAP system!?
Regards,
Jens

Hi Jens,
I am not sure about your requirement here. What i could understand is that you want to check whether service could handle file processing?
1) Uploading file - You can build a Webservice which has import/export parameters as the file structures and implement the proxy class in such a way that the passed data is written to application server.
2) Downloading file - Same as uploading file, but the proxy class would have the code to extract data from the application server and pass them as output parameter.
Functionality of Non SAP system: The system which calls these services should be able to convert the output of proxy data into file in case of downloading the file and it should be able to convert the file data into export parameters in case of uploading file.
Hope this helps.

Prasanna

Uploading a File via Web Services

We can't seem to find a way to upload a file without needing
to POST it to a specific page on the web server. On top of that, it
apparently also creates a new session in Asp.NET when we do the
post. How do you guys work around this issue?

I have solved the problem - for future references or for anybody else having the same problem read below:
The JavaDoc for HttpOutputStream states the following:
"There are two constructors for this class, one taking a length parameter, and one without any parameters. If the stream is created with a length then the request will be sent with the corresponding Content-length header and anything written to the stream will be written on the socket immediately. This is the preferred way. If the stream is created without a length then one of two things will happen: if, at the time of the request, the server is known to understand HTTP/1.1 then each write() will send the data immediately using the chunked encoding. If, however, either the server version is unknown (because this is first request to that server) or the server only understands HTTP/1.0 then all data will be written to a buffer first, and only when the stream is closed will the request be sent."
Constructing the HttpOutputStream with the size of the content to upload solved the problem. I guess the HTTP version was unknown or Oracle only understands HTTP/1.0 (anybody that can clear this up?), causing everything to be buffered (in memory) only to be send when the streams was closed, which in the case of a big file caused OutOfMemeryError.

Executing a Job via Web Services using a Server Group?

When executing a job from Designer or from the Management Console you have the option to select a specific job server or a server group.
But when executing a job via Web Services it uses the first job server with which the repository was associated (i.e. the first job server listed in AL_MACHINE_INFO).
Is there a way to get the job to execute using a server group instead simply choosing the first job server in the list?
Note: We are using FIM to execute the jobs via web services and don't have access to additional parameters.

Joe
Here is the where you can change the server group/job server.
- After you add the Batch/real Time job as a webservice.
- Go to the Webservice Batch Job Attribute and from the drop down choose the "Enable job Attributes" and hit apply.
- After this if you use the WSDL URL http://<Data Services Web Server>:<Web server Port>/DataServices/servlet/webservices?ver=2.0&wsdlxml
- You will see the job attributes that you can change based on the allowed parameters mentioned in the documentation.
The batch job or real time job is published without the job parameters by default. Once you enable the job attributes, remove and re publish the batch job as a web service. The application making the call to this webservice should be able to read the WSDL generated by Data services and pickup all the input and output parameters of the method.
Refer to the Data Services Integrator guide (Chapter 3 : pages 25 - 33 ) to get the exact parameter values permitted via Data Services jobs called via web services.
Hope this helps!

RPC Style Web Service and SSL

Hi,
Has anyone tried (and maybe succeeded) in accessing an
RPC-style Web Service deployed on WebLogic Server 6.1 using
SSL? I have a Web Service deployed and am able to access it using JNDI and the
weblogic.soap.http.SoapInitialContextFactory
INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY. However, when I try to set the
Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL to "ssl" and access the secure port,
I get a "java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from
the server" error message.
Does the weblogic.soap.http.SoapInitialContextFactory not
support SSL? Do I need to do the SOAP/XML messaging myself,
without being able to make use of the WebLogic convenience
classes? Thanks! Rob

Alright!
Glad you got it working ;-)
Actually, the problem with the protocol being hardcoded to http in the wsdl.jsp,
is a bit strange. It's unusual that the BEA engineers that coded the wsgen component
and support classes, didn't use something like the following:
<soap:address location="<%= request.getScheme() + "://" + request.getServerName()
+ ":" + request.getServerPort() %>/security/examples/webservices/security/PhoneBookService"/>
I don't use wsgen too much, because I need to have more control over the J2EE
packaging. It (wsgen) is great for spitting out stuff, but not really setup for
doing Web service packaging that use classes (i.e. helper files, frameworks, etc.)
that it doesn't generate. I think they (BEA) might be looking into integrating
the Web Services assembly process with other tools like WebGain, Forte, etc. to
alleviate these types of issues.
Anyway, glad you got it working, so now you can help somebody else (time permitting,
of course) with this topic in the future!

Mike,
Thank you very much for your response! The next to
last sentence did it for me (when you mentioned checking
that the location attribute of the soap:address element
was set properly)! I noticed that when I viewed the WSDL
file via the browser (by clicking on the link in the
index.html page), I saw http://host:<unsecure_port> when
I requested it over the unsecure port, but I saw
http://host:<secure_port> when I requested the WSDL over
the secure port. Notice it did not say https!
So, I unjarred the EAR file that was generated by my
wsgen task, and then unjarred the generated WAR file
contained therein. When I looked at wsdl.jsp, I noticed
that "http" was hard-coded in the location attribute, but
that the host name and port number were dynamically
generated. So I added a scriplet to dynamically place an
"s" after "http" (if request.isSecure()) and rejarred up
the WAR and EAR files.
Now when I deployed the EAR file, I see "https" when
I request the WSDL over the secure port, and my client
(actually your client;) works! Awesome! I really appreciate
your help! Now my only issue is why did the wsdl.jsp have
"http" hard-coded, not accounting for secure requests.
These files were generated by the WSGEN task in ANT.
I figure it's either: I have a configuration problem,
I have a problem with my ANT build script, my version of
WebLogic Server (6.1 w/SP1 built 9/18/2001) has a bug, or
maybe you just have to manually go in and modify the wsdl.jsp
file if you want to use https :(. Please let me know if
you have any insight on this, and I will also follow up
with WebLogic support. Thanks again! Rob
"Michael Wooten" <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi Rob,
I am absolutely sure the code I posted works, so we need to approach
this from
a different angle ;-)
First, I know why the Context.SECURITY_PROTOCOL approach doesn't works.
It's because
the namespace in the Web Services code examples is not the same oneas
the one
used for RMI objects, EJBs, JDBC Data Sources, etc. For those objects,
the Context.PROVIDER_URL
is something like "t3://localhost:7001", and the INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY
is "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory".
The one being used with WebLogic Web Services, is mainly just functioning
as a
mechanism for manufacturing WebServiceProxy objects, because it is a
non-instanciable!
It does this by using a subclass of javax.naming.Context called SOAPContext,
which
is completely hidden from you, but also doesn't do much except implement
the lookup()
method. The implementation of this method ignores the Context.SECURITY_URL
property,
but it does pay attention to the "java.naming.security.principal" and
"java.naming.security.credentials"
properties. You don't need these properties for SSL, just Basic Authentication.
Enough about that, though. The service end-point is a servlet right?
So this means
it has a URL that begins with http or https, which in turn means the
WebLogic
servlet engine gets the SOAP request and sends it to the StatelessSessionAdapter
servlet. To WLS, this is just like any other HTTP/HTTPS request sent
to it ;-)
There is no special "SOAP-related" HTTP/HTTPS handler in WLS, but the
SSL challenge
dance still happens. So my first question is, are you sure you havethe
HTTPS
attributes set properly in the WebLogic console. SSL/HTTPS should be
enabled and
the "Hostname Verification Ignored" checkbox should be checked. Next,
are you
sure the URL assigned to the location attribute of the <service> element
in the
WSDL is correct (i.e. https://localhost:7002)? Are you using the "dynamic
client"
approach?

Mike,
Thanks for your response. I downloaded the code example that
you
posted
last week, as well as the code example that you posted in October for
a similar
request (BEA Support pointed me towards that). Unfortunately, I still
can't get
the Web Service to respond to the client request when the client uses
the HTTPS
port for the WebLogic Server.
I tried two different client approaches. The first uses the client
code
that you posted in October, the WebServiceProxy approach. The second
approach
is based on the example in the WebLogic documentation, which uses the
weblogic.soap.SoapInitialContextFactory
class with the javax.naming.Context object to perform a lookup on the
service
(which closely resembles rmi without the narrowing).
Both client classes fail to invoke the the service itself viaHTTPS
(although
they both work when making HTTP requests to the unsecure port). However,
when
I run the client based on the client class that you posted in October
and make
an HTTPS request, I can see in the output where it is able to download
the WSDL
file and use it (via the WebServiceProxy) to describe the availablemethods
for
the associated Web Service. It is only when the actual invoke() method
is called
on the SoapMethod object (which in turn sends the XML request to the
Web Service
Servlet), that the server doesn't respond, and the client fails with
an UnexpectedEndOfFileException
(i.e. no response).
So, do you know why the servlet that the RPC-style Web Serviceuses
to handle
requests would not respond to HTTPS requests, when it processes HTTP
requests
without a problem (using the same client code that fails with the HTTPS
request)?
I am using WebLogic Server 6.1 w/SP1 on a Solaris 8 platform. Thanks
for any
advice you can give me! Rob

Help needs to build this web service and do this exercise

**i'm a newbie to java. can anybody give me a help here.**
Exercises :
1) Develop customer profile web service as below: which having two methods saveCustomer and retrieveCustomer
Customer infomation data structure as follows
CustomerID :string
Name :string
phoneNumber : int
Address : Object which contain(home number(int), street(string), town(string))- Complex type object
Age: int
LastBalance: double
Ex1:
you send the SOAP request (in your web service call) with customer id or phone number the web service should return customer information and display as system out.
Note Just hard code customer dummy data inside web service method call getCustomerData which return the customer object.
Ex2
Compose customer object (java object) in client side and send via web service using web service save method to write to a data to text file in server side (in your case same machine , but it create by customer profile web service not the web service client)
Objective of this exercise is to understand web service / soap complex and simple variable types and how to exchange those with SOAP request and response.
Exercise 3:
send some wrong customer id or phone number as input to webservice method "retrieveCustomer" and generate error and send it via SOAP fault to client and display it

ok thanks any way. i hav done most of the exercise. don't know wthr the appraoch is correct or incorrect. i'll post what i have done up to now.
Customer.java FILE
package com.server;
public class Customer {
     public String customerID;
     public String customerName;
     public int phoneNumber;
     public Adress[] address;
        public int age;
     public double balance;

     public Customer getCustomerData(int CustomerID){
          Address address1 = new Address();
          address1.homeNumber = 23;
          address1.street = "silva lane";
          address1.town = "kandy";
          Address address2 = new Address();
          address2.homeNumber = 45;
          address2.street = "gampola road";
          address2.town = "peradeniya";
          Address [1] address = new Address[] { address1, address2 };
          Customer customer = new Customer();
          customer.customerID = "abc";
          customer.customerName = "mahesh";
          customer.customerphoneNumber = 345565767;

          customer.age = 25;
          customer.balance = 25000.00;
          return customer;
}is thr anything i hav missed. please advice.

Getting error while creating Customer Invoice Request via Web Service

Hello,
I am trying to create customer invoice request via web service.
But I am getting the error message "No scheme configuration found for scheme '&CIRHP&' " continuously.
It is working fine in reference tenant. But using the same payload its giving error in another tenant.
Can you please tell me what is the root cause for this error?
I have included the payload used in the prototype tenant(Payload.txt) and screen shot of the error.
Thanks and Regards,
Sriram

Hi,
Check the WSDL file is wellformed or not..You can test it using tools like XML Spy.
Might be the attribute tag is missing something..If WSDL file is correct then, create proxy by selecting the WSDL file from local machine..

SQL Server 2008 Reporting Project - Invoke/Consume Web Service and Return Dataset in C# Code-Behind

Hello,
I have a Visual Studio 2010 C# class with a method that invokes/consumes a web service and returns an XML dataset. I am traversing through the parent/child nodes and parsing out the data then inserting it into a SQL Server 2008 R2 table for a join within
another stored procedure.
Instead of using a 3rd party API to generate the PDF for this data, I am creating an SSRS report. The formatting will be easier and I can do a RenderFormat directly to PDF.
Can I expect to be able to transfer the code-behind method to this report and have it be able to work with the web service the same way? It is a SOAP-based web service returning parent nodes and two levels of nested child nodes.
I have also been researching the approach of calling the web service in the same stored procedure that is currently querying the physical tables (which is used to populate a gridview and PDF) but it looks like it may only be possible with a CLR stored procedure.
Is it possible to implement a CLR stored procedure within an SSRS report?
Hope this makes sense. Any help, suggestion or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Buster

Hi Buster,
SSRS supports web service data source, we can call the SOAP-based web service in SSRS report directly. Then, we can use custom code in SSRS to parse the XML data. However, we won’t be able to join another data in SQL Server database.
Reference:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964129(v=sql.90).aspx#repservxmlds_topic3
We cannot implement a CLR stored procedure within an SSRS report directly. In order to execute the CLR store procedure in a SSRS report, we have to execute it as text using the following code:
Exec <stored procedure name>
Reference:

Failure to generate WSDL from web service when use xmlbean

Hi, I have a web service that uses xmlbean generated by schema. The schema from 3rd party is in a separate project since it's used by another web app and ejb project. In wlw103 I have included the schema project in this web service project's Java Build Path. The web service compiles, but when I tried to generate WSDL a Error window shows and says "The WSDL cannot be generated from the web service due to unexpected runtime errors".
The following is the detail. What do I need to do to make the xmlbean available for my web service? Thanks

Web Services and JHS

My company is exploring the use of JHeadstart and we are very impressed with its capabilities. The enterprise environment into which our system will be deployed requires separation between the View Layer, and the Model Layer, with a SOAP-based messaging agent as the go-between (it's MQ series-based). We have been able to get a prototype plain-old UIX application to work where we deploy the Application Module in the Model project as a web service, and then create a data control from the stub to consume in the UIX ViewController project. We can then simply drag and drop the Web Service call result sets onto the UIX pages. However, when trying to do this with JHeadstart, the Wizard for creating Application Structure Files requests an Application Module on one of the first screens. In our environment, we won't be able to allow the ViewController project to see the Model project. Is there any way to use a web service instead of the Application Module? If not, is there any plan to support this type of activity in a future JHS release?
Thanks in advance,
Dan Schiff

Dan,
Currently JHeadstart only supports ADF Business Components as the Business Service layer (directly accessed, not through a Web Service wrapper). As you found out, ADF supports other Business Services as well, not only Web Services but also TopLink, EJB, etc.
JHeadstart is primarily intended for data manipulation (select, insert, update, delete) and our philosophy is that that type of functionality (that part of your application) is most efficiently handled directly by ADF Business Components. Also, this is the most productive technique for application developers. Of course, the end result of generating an application with JHeadstart is that you have a "normal" ADF application, to which you can add Web Service functionality with the normal JDeveloper visual editors and drag-and-drop features.
So you could generate efficient data manipulation screens using JHeadstart and direct ADF Business Components, and then add interoperability with other Business Services to your application using Web Services. The latter part is not JHeadstart-generated.
The next JHeadstart release (10.1.3) will be focused on supporting JSF (JavaServer Faces). We are also looking into support for other Business Services like TopLink, but we don't have any schedule for that yet.
kind regards,

Interfacing web services and RT applications

[First, sorry to the NI guys who helped me with this over the phone. It's not that I don't trust your input but in the multitude of counselors there is wisdom.]
If I want to interface my cRIO real-time control loop with the outside world using web services, how do you implement the interface between the web service and the RT app? If the RT app is included as part of the web service, will it start running at target boot time or must it be invoked using the web service?

Aaron--
What I have now is a web service only application--I only have one Build Specification and it is for the RESTful web service. I placed what typically would be my RT application code in the web service Source Files section without any URL mappings to go with it. Then I simply call the top level RT executable code from the web service by static reference and have it return without waiting for code execution to complete. At this point, my "RT app" is running on the cRIO and can communicate with the web service via functional globals.
The fact that my "RT app" does not run at boot time is not an issue in this application so I feel like I'm getting by on a special case. If I needed to run the RT application at boot time with headless operation, I think I would still be having a problem. I just find it a bit quirky that NI's web services put the developer in the situation that, in order to communicate with an RT executable, they must use shared variables (yuck) or implement a mini virtual network. Why not put the web service and the RT app into the same application space and be done with it?
Thanks,

Maybe need to write some in MSSQL or C# programming which enable insert, update, delete ...etc ?
*note: i not use Xcelsius Engage Server , i use Xcelsius Engage only

Hi,
As of now in Xcelsius/Dashboard Design there is no feature or functionality to insert/update/delete data from database.
Solution:
Create a Web service in let’s say C# or Java, which will perform insert/update/delete operation.
In Xcelsius add Web Service connection and user above web service.
Xcelsius Web Service connection provides option to pass input values to a Web Service (Input Pane) and get the result (Output values pane).
We can pass values to be written to the database as a input to Web Service via Web Service connection from Xcelsius and write data to the database.
Note:
Performing delete operation from Xcelsius Dashboard could be risky and may delete important data from database. I would not prefer giving delete option/functionality in Xcelsius dashboard.
Hope this helps!
Thank you.
