GTC Connector using SPML Format Provider and Web Services Transport Provide

Hello All,
Did any body create a GTC connector which uses SPML Format for Format Provider and Web Services format for Transport Provider?
Is there any doc which talks about the same?
I need to provision to a system over web services and I thought GTC using the above formats should be an easy approach. Am I right?
I was trying to follow:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14309/devgtc.htm#BABDFDFE
But Iam getting lost in the immerse details.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
I tried creating one and am getting the following error while provisioning:
SPML Response failed V2 schema validation
Th eoracle document says :Ensure that the SPML response returned by the target system conforms to the SPML V2 standard specification
Please help me with the same. What is it that needs to be done here.
Thanks

LDAP security provider and web service authentication

Background: we are currently developing web services to our existing weblogic application. Our users can configure user/password authentication in one of three ways: database, LDAP, or SSO. Setting SSO aside, we need to implement the same authentication for database and LDAP that we use in our existing logon servlet in our web services. In our servlet we detect which they are configured for and, if database, authenticate the encrypted password to a database table we have for user id/password. If LDAP we use weblogic.servlet.security.ServletAuthentication and the weak() method to authenticate.
We've to use SOAP headers to communicate username/password from the client to the web service. We want to code a SOAP message handler to grab the username/password and do the authentication there. We've successfully put something together that handles the database authentication no problem and are now struggling with how to handle the LDAP authentication. We distribute a LDAP security provider we've coded for LDAP authentication. I guess what I am looking for is an equivalent functionality provided with weblogic.servlet.security.ServletAuthentication. Note that I realize the weblogic.servlet.security package has been deprecated starting with Weblogic 9.0 but cannot find what functionality replaces it. Any help there would be appreciated as well.
Note that I am fairly new to web service development (about 10 months now) and definitely new to web service security and Weblogic security. I tried digging into the volumes of documentation out there regarding these two topics but am simply having a difficult time sorting it all out and figuring out how to do what I want to do.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Add Provider (LDAP Credentials) in Admin console Security Realm --> defaultrealm -->Providers. Configuring Ldap in Admin Console will enable Admin Server to connect to LDAP. All the LDAP preconfigured Users/Groups will be available in Users and Groups Tab of Security Realms >defaultrealm >Users and Groups. Add Roles using Security Realms >defaultrealm > Roles and Policies > Global Roles > Roles. Add Role Conditions to the role by specifying users/groups configured in LDAP. If your webservice runs with SSL Anotate the Webservice file something like this below.
@RolesAllowed({
@SecurityRole(role="test")
@Policy(
uri="policy:Wssp1.2-2007-Https-UsernameToken-Plain.xml",
attachToWsdl=true)
Here the role is Preconfigired role in AdminConsole. Add the following tag in the soapenv:header.
<soapenv:Header>

The Oracle Database Programming using Java and Web services book is out

This book http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1555583296 shows how to build pragmatic applications using the combination of PL/SQL, Java in the database, JDBC, SQLJ, JPublisher, and Web services. It is intented for database developers, DBA, data architects, Java developers and Web services assemblers.
My blog http://db360.blogspot.com/ and the free/sample chapter http://www.oracle.com/technology/books/pdfs/mensah_ch1.pdf will give you a feel of the content.
Enjoy, Kuassi

Hi Kuassi,
Thanks for letting us know that your book is available. I have been following one of your articles about "Virtualize Your Oracle Database with Web Services". More specifically "The Database as Web Services Consumer". I think that this is an area that has in the past been under estimated as to the potential benefits.
I am currently trying to develop a solution that consumes several interfaces with a couple of them being published web services, so an ideal solution. I have then spent the last three weeks having to read up about the architecture of Java in the database, Jpublisher and make sense of how it all works together.
I have got very close to getting one of the web services to work but failed due to using 10gR2 where all the java & libraries has moved to version 1.5. The solution is to load the jdk1.4.2 and configure jpublisher to use this. So far so good except this is not available on some platforms, Windows - 64 bit (not itanium).
The configuration is proving very challenging but will hopefully reap rewards.
(Thought I would give you some background to my experience).
Anyway my question to you is having looked at Jdeveloper it appears to do almost anything except consume services into the database, also with Java now being at version 1.5 outside the database for 10gR2 and supporting 1.4 inside, do you see some alignment of these in future database releases?
Finally off to buy your book now as no doubt there is a huge amount more to learn.
Kind Regards

Error during EAR deployment with EJB and web service

I created a simple stateless EJB with one method called echo that returns a string. I created a web service using the wizard, did a build and deployed. The deployment did not report an error, but the logs in the visual administrator showed the follwoing message, and the web service did NOT deploy.
Am I missing something related to EJB and web service security?

Using Identity Management for Securing Web Services

My goal is to associate my services with an Oracle Internet Directory. I made some attempts to set up SAML authentication for the web services, but it didn't have the right outcome.
(My identity management server and OID is up and running and I have successfully made authentication modules for other web applications)
Here is what I did:
1. I wrote a simple java file, used jdeveloper tools to create and deploy it as a web service to OC4J. I associated an identity management server with this service through OC4J web tools as security provider.
2. I made a data control for the web service and put it in an ADF application . (client)
3. I deployed the client project(2) to OC4J.
I could use the web service through the page.
Then
I secured the webservice to expect SAML for authentication.
Surprisingly, the client could still communicate with the webservice, Why? Shouldn't it have rejected the request because of the problem in SAML token? (The proxy and the data control were not secured, and didn't provide any SAML tokens)
4.
I added login page to my client project (through ADF security wizard). It used idenity management for authentication successfully. login process completes and web service data control is displayed.
5. I want the authentication information to be propagated through the page so that the web service receives the data and uses Identity Management.
I know I should add <property name="oracle.security.wss.propagate.identity" value ="true"/>
to one of the configuration files, but don't know where exactly.
Best Regards,
Farbod

It doesnt matter whether the service is invoked as part of your larger process or not, if it is performing any business critical operation then it should be secured.
The idea of SOA / designing services is to have the services available so that it can be orchestrated as part of any other business process.
Today you may have secured your parent services and tomorrow you could come up with a new service which may use one of the existing lower level services.
If all the services are in one Application server you can make the configuration/development environment lot easier by securing them using the Gateway.
Typical probelm with any gateway architecture is that the service is available without any security enforcement when accessed directly.
You can enforce rules at your network layer to allow access to the App server only from Gateway.
When you have the liberty to use OWSM or any other WS-Security products, i would stay away from any extensions. Two things to consider
The next BPEL developer in your project may not be aware of Security extensions
Centralizing Security enforcement will make your development and security operations as loosely coupled and addresses scalability.

Can't run wiki and web services at the same time?

I'm a newbie with Lion Server, but I've been running several web sites successfully for about 6 months. I'm up to Server 10.7.4.
I've been trying ever since the first installation of Server to get the wiki service running. I had absolutely no luck until I turned OFF the web service (always got the "URL does not exist" error when I tried to create a group wiki from inside the Server app). With the web service off, it all starts up fine and I created my first wiki (woohoo). Turning web service back on kills access to the wiki. I don't find reference to this in any of the dicussions, and especially not in Apple's documentation.
Are the Wiki and Web services mutually exclusive? Or is there a way around this?
I'm using Dyndns to provide me with sub-domains to use, and I've dedicated one of them to the wiki service. Traffic comes in on port 8080, where my web sites are on port 80.
Thanks for any pointers...

LR supports tethering using a Canon DLL and EOS Utility probably also supports tethering or at least uses something from a similar Canon DLL. You probably cannot have two different versions of that DLL loaded at the same time, so it makes sense there are problems.

Examples about ABAP Proxies and Web Services creation

Hi everybody.
I have been reading SAP NW PI 7.1 help about Web Service creation and sincerely, I am a bit confused. Also I have searched SDN forums, blogs and documents but my confusion persist.
I will try to depict my integration scenario below.
SLD are conformed by two machines: SAP ECC 6.0 system, client 100 and SAP PI 7.1 system, client 001.
There are two integration scenarios.
1. ABAP Client Proxy -> PI -> Web Service
I need to consume a Web Service provided by a third part. They provided me with WSDL files and I imported them into ESR. I already construted all other objects (data types, message types, etc.). In the examples I found I cann't see what to do with those definitions, I don't find any suitable example. This is an asynchronous scenario. The Web Service will be consumed from SAP ECC 6.0 system through an ABAP Cliente Proxy.
2. Web Service -> PI -> ABAP Server Proxy
I need to provide a Web Service for others to consume it. I already have created the WSDL for Service Interface I created in ESR using the respective wizard in Integration Builder. This is an asynchronous scenario. The Web Service will be consumed by others outside landscape configuration. When the Web Service is consumed must run an ABAP Server Proxy.
In spite of my investigation about Web Services building in SAP NW PI 7.1 I cann't finish my work successfully.
I just need a good example, any suitable example for each integration scenario.
Thanks in advance.
Rafael Rojas.

Hi,
1. ABAP Client Proxy -> PI -> Web Service
1. Create all necessary objects in ESR
2. Create integration scenario objects with PROXY as sender SOAP or WS adapter as receiver
3. Create client proxy in your SAP backend using SPROXY
4. Create ABAP client proxy to execute the proxy which then will call your PI runtime to execute the webservice.
2. Web Service -> PI -> ABAP Server Proxy
1. Create your necessary objects in ESR
2. Generate server proxy in your back end system
3. Create integration scenario objects with PROXY as receiver and SOAP or WS adapter as sender
4. Generate WSDL from integration scenario and pass it to your partner.
You can find many blogs which discuss these steps in more detail.

Lim...

JDBC and web services: ClassNotFoundException

Hi
I'm trying to access a database with my webservice and I get a ClassNotFoundException when calling
Class.forName("com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver ");
to load the JDBC driver class dynamically.
The driver is properly installed (I used it in another non web service applications) and I added its jar file to the web application project which contains the web service.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to use any server mechanism provided by the application server (websphere 6.0 in this case) to access the database instead?
Thanks in advance!

First aid check list for "connection refused":
- Check host name in connect string.
- Check port number in connect string.
- Try numeric IP address of server host in connect string, in case name server is hosed.
- Are there any firewalls between client and server blocking the port.
- Check that the db server is running.
- Check that the db server is listening to the port. On the server, try: "telnet localhost the-port-number". Or "netstat -an", there should be a listening entry for the port.
- Try "telnet serverhost the-port-number" from the client, to see if firewalls are blocking it.
- If "telnet" fails: try it with the numeric ip address.
- If "telnet" fails: does it fail immediately or after an obvious timeout? How long is the timeout?
- Does the server respond to "ping serverhost" or "telnet serverhost" or "ssh serverhost"?

Use case for describing a web service

Dear all,
I have a fundamental question for describing a web service.
An analyst will first write (1) a use case for describing the web service and (2) wsdl and xsd files for describing the web service.
As a developer, I would say that artifact (2) is enough. As an analyst, I would still need to document the requirement in the format of use case specification. However, it is not clear for me what should be put in this use case specification and what is the added value of such a use case.
Have you any sample example of this kind of use case in order to describe a web service?
Thanks in advance.

First, don't post twice. I'd rather see you bump a post then repost the same question.
Have you any sample example of this kind of use case in order to describe a web service?First, searching Google will show you millions of use cases you can use as examples. Second, why would you think writing a use case for a Web Service would be any different than any other use case?Sorry for posting twice. I thought the first one failed due to a system error but I was wrong.
From millions of use case I can not find a "good" one.
I have in fact two conceptual questions:
1. I have not much to say about the flow of events. It is simply a request and a response. This is much simpler than a "normal" use case. Am I right?
2. However, I don't know where to put the description of business logic: 2.1 the data sets to be put in the request and response; 2.2 the business logic to construct the response from the request.
I would appreciate any hint or discussion.

Assembler and Web-services

Hi,
I have to develop a C# application that uses web-services to call Assembler.
Is it possible to do this directly without using QPAC?
Also, the only ways to invoke Assembler are:
1) through QPAC API
2) through EJB API
Is there another way to invoke Assembler using a client application?
Thanks,
Marco.

Assembler comes with a limited-use license of Workflow, and Workflow provides a web services interface. I'm not familiar with the details, but basically you'd create a 1-step workflow that just contains the Assembler step, and you'd invoke the workflow with the SOAP interface that Workflow provides for the workflow you created. I hope that helps. Let me know if not - I may be able to ask around to see if anyone else here knows more details.

EAI AND WEB SERVICES

Hi,
What is the difference between web services and EAI ?
Thank you.

Hi,
Salient Differences between Traditional EAI Solutions and Web Services
A few essential differences between traditional EAI solutions and Web Services are, as follows:
Simple: There is no doubt that Web Services are much simpler to design, develop, maintain, and use as compared to a typical EAI solution which may involve distributed technology such as DCOM and CORBA. Once the framework of developing and using Web Services is ready, it will be relatively easy to automate new business processes spanning across multiple applications.
Open Standards: Unlike proprietary EAI solutions, Web Services are based on open standards such as UDDI, SOAP, HTTP and this is probably the single most important factor that would lead to the wide adoption of Web Services. The fact that they are built on existing and ubiquitous protocols eliminates the need for companies to invest in supporting new network protocols.
Flexible: Since EAI solutions may require point-to-point integration, changes made at one end have to be propagated to the other end, making them very rigid and time consuming in nature. Web Services based integration is quite flexible, as it is built on loose coupling between the application publishing the services and the application using those services.
Cheap: EAI solutions, such as message brokers, are very expensive to implement. Web Services, in the future, may accomplish many of the same goals - cheaper and faster.
Scope: EAI solutions, such as message brokers, integrate applications treating them as single entities, whereas Web Services allow companies to break down big applications into small independent logical units and build wrappers around them. For example, a company can write wrappers for different business components of an ERP application such as order management - purchase order acceptance, status of order, order confirmation, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
Efficient: As mentioned in the previous point, Web Services allow applications to be broken down into smaller logical components, which makes the integration of applications easier as it is done on a granular basis. This makes Web Services solutions for EAI much more efficient than traditional EAI solutions.
Dynamic: Web Services provide a dynamic approach to integration by offering dynamic interfaces, whereas traditional EAI solutions are pretty much static in nature.

Web Access and Web Services

What are the different between p6 WebAccess and Web Services?

I think I realise what the problem is....
It's because the Nokia (and Opera) are *proxy* browsers, meaning that they don't use the router to make the internet calls to pages, but they let another service do the work (presumably Nokia). The penny dropped after reading another thread where content was restricted by the router, but the mobile phone was able to connect to restricted sites - and I tried that scenario out too!
This also means that this remote proxy service can not see anything on your own LAN - obviously!
This is good for viewing internet sites via your mobile provider as they compress the data, meaning less data returns to you - but I don't see why this is necessary when using Wifi.
I've tried installing other browsers too - and they seem to be the same.
I'm rather disappointed by this.
