How - Custom Java App- SRM Integration

I am looking to replicate some of the "Request for Quotation" creation/management functionality from SRM in a custom application (for business/technical/ease-of-use reasons) and send the created RFQs over to SAP SRM. Can I use XI to send RFQs into SRM (I know I can retrieve them using XI for custom supplier apps, but can I send them in as well)?
While reviewing the EBP mappings in Integration Builder, I see there is a mapping for RequestForQuotation_Create_Out, but not for RequestForQuotation_Create_In. Is it possible to add this mapping?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Conceicao,
Hi. I think RFQ's exist on your R/3 backend and not in SRM. As far as I know SRM can hold shopping carts and PO's (When using the extended classic senario). This would explain why you can't find this in XI.
Check with you applicaiton team who should be able to talk you though how SRM works, or alternatively there are auite a few documents on http://service.sap.com/srm
On a more technical level :-->
You can search for BAPI's using transaction BAPI on the backend, or the BSP as below.
http://<YourHostName>:<8000>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/webservicebrowser/search.html
Where <YourHostName> is the fully qualified host name, <8000> is the valid port of the Web Application Server. (See transaction SMICM in need). If there is a valid BAPI (Or RFC enabled function module) then these can be called via XI. You might need to create the configuration behind it though.

Rel 12 - How to create a new APPS connection from custom Java/Shell Script

Hi,
I am looking to write a custom JAVA code / Shell Script which needs to establish a connection to execute a PL/SQL API on Rel 12 db.
The challenge is to be able to connect without specifying APPS Password anywhere (just like Oracle Apps does it).
This Shell script / Java code is not called from within Apps hence I need to establish a brand new connection along the lines of using ....
WebAppsContext ctx = new WebAppsContext(System.getProperty("JTFDBCFILE"));
OracleConnection conn = (OracleConnection)ctx.getJDBCConnection();
like in 11i world or possibly using APPLSYSPUB username
I need help / direction in how to do this in a Rel 12 env. I understnad there are lot of architecture changes and if someone can provide a generic code snipped it will be great.
I need to keep this as closely aligned to Rel 12 coding and security standards as possible.
This code will reside in $XXCUSTOM_TOP/bin file or under XXCUSTOM.oracle.apps.java....... if its Java.
Pls help.
Cheers
-- VK.

Hi,
Have you looked at Oracle produced dbc file and its contents? That might help. It is under $FND_TOP/secure. It uses GWYUID=APPLSYSPUB/PUB. I am hoping that the APPS_JDBC_URL would help too.

How to pass Objects from Java App to JavaFX Application

Hello,
New to the JavaFX. I have a Java Swing Application. I am trying to use the TreeViewer in JavaFX since it seems to be a bit better to use and less confusing.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I have my Java app calling my treeviewer JavaFX as
-- Java Application --
public class EPMFrame extends JFrame {
Customer _custObj
private void categoryAction(ActionEvent e)   // method called by Toolbar
        ocsCategoryViewer ocsFX;    //javaFX treeviewer
        ocsFX = new ocsCategoryViewer();    // need to pass in the Customer Object to this Not seeing how to do it.
                                              // tried ocsFX = new ocsCategoryViewer(_custObj) ;    nothing happened even when set this as a string with a value
public class ocsCategoryViewer extends Application {
String _customer;
@Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
     TreeView <String> ocsTree;
     TreeItem <String> root , subcat;
TreeItem <String> root = new TreeItem <String> ("/");
        root.setExpanded(true);
         ocsTree = new TreeView <String> (root);
         buildTree();     // this uses the Customer Object.
        StackPane stkp_root = new StackPane();
        stkp_root.getChildren().add(btn);
        stkp_root.getChildren().add(ocsTree);
        Scene scene = new Scene(stkp_root, 300, 250);
        primaryStage.setTitle("Tree Category Viewer");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        _customer = args[0];      // temporarily trying to pass in string.
        launch(args);

JavaFX and Swing integration is documented by Oracle - make sure you understand that before doing further development.
What are you really trying to do? The answer to your question depends on the approach you are taking (which I can't really work out from your question). You will be doing one of:
1. Run your Swing application and your JavaFX application as different processes and communicate between them.
This is the case if you have both a Swing application with a main which you launch (e.g. java MySwingApp) and JavaFX application which extends application which you launch independently (e.g. java MyJavaFXApp).
You will need to do something like open a client/server network socket between the applications and send the data between them.
2. Run a Swing application with embedded JavaFX components.
So you just run java MySwingApp.
You use a JFXPanel, which is "a component to embed JavaFX content into Swing applications."
3. Run a Java application with embedded Swing components.
So you just run java MyJavaFXApp.
You use a SwingNode, which is "used to embed a Swing content into a JavaFX application".
My recommendation is:
a. Don't use approach number one and have separate apps written in Swing and Java - that would be pretty complicated and unwarranted for almost all applications.
b. Don't mix the two toolkits unless you really need to. An example of a real need is that you have a huge swing app based upon the NetBeans platform and you want to embed a couple of JavaFX graphs in there. But if your application is only pretty small (e.g., it took less than a month to write), just choose one toolkit or the other and implement your application entirely in that toolkit. If your entire application is in Swing and you are just using JavaFX because you think its TreeView is easier to program, don't do that; either learn how to use Swing's tree control and use that or rewrite your entire application in JavaFX. Reasons for my suggestion are listed here: JavaFX Tip 9: Do Not Mix Swing / JavaFX
c. If you do need to mix the two toolkits, the answer of which approach to use will be obvious. If you have a huge Swing app and want to embed one or two JavaFX components in it, then use JFXPanel. If you have a huge JavaFX app and want to embed one or two Swing components in it, use a SwingNode. Once you do start mixing the two toolkits be very careful about thread processing, which you are almost certain screw up at least during development, no matter how an experienced a developer you are. Also sharing the data between the Swing and JavaFX components will be trivial as you are now running everything in the same application within the virtual machine and it is all just Java so you can just pass data around as parameters to constructors and method calls, the same way you usually do in a Java program, you can even use static classes and data references to share data but usually a dependency injection framework is better if you are going to do that - personally I'd just stick to simply passing data through method calls.

Avaya(Non-java app) integration with ADF

Hi,
We have a desktop application Avaya (non-Java) & want to integrate it with ADF. Currently we do it by passing parameters in HTTP URL. If the user clicks on a button in non-java app, it should:
(1) open search page of an ADF application and execute search.
(2) if the ADF application is already open, the button on Avaya app should execute search with partial page refresh. However, the whole page is being refreshed.
Can you please guide, how to do this with partial page refresh? , as the No 1 is almost achieved.
Thanks,
NC

Hi Shay,
Below Options were tried for integration. Please have a look at them and suggest if there is any other possible way to Integrate Avaya with ADF.
1) Calling ADF application with URL parameters.
Reasons to drop:
Every time a URL is called the entire page will get rendered again taking some 2-3 seconds which is very critical to the application.
ADF is capable of handling URL parameters without re-loading the whole page(http://oracamp.com/passing-parameters-adf-application-through-url). But we can't use this inbuilt way as we have many customized developments implemented in the page. This way directly works at AMImpl (at Model level) level. We want the events to be fired at View level. That is backing bean level.
2) Avaya is capable of dealing with ActiveX (OCX). They sent me 2 DLLs which handles communication between web page and Avaya application. A simulator was also sent (bundle attached herewith). The steps to be carried out for testing are-
Installation procedures:
i. Register the DTLCRMINT.ocx file. Start->Run-> Type the command
ii. regsvr32 <ocx file location>
iii. Register the DTLINTCMP.ocx file. Start->Run-> Type the command
iv. regsvr32 <ocx file location>
v. Double click on the Clinet.exe it would open up a windows application with a Textbox and Command button. Put In the data which needs to be sent.
vi. Open the CRM Page.html. On opening the OCX would be loaded by default.
vii. Now clicking the Send Data button on the client application, whatever information is there in the Client Text Box would be sent to the web page.
viii. From CRM side, the application needs to use the OCX provided, and must wait for the event. On receiving the event the data that is retrieved as a part of the event can be parsed to update the text box and click on the search button.
Reasons to drop:
It works fine with basic HTML page. But once integrated with ADF page as an inline frame it doesn't work. We tried to embed the OCX object inside <verbatim> tags, but was not successful. The event fired by ActiveX object is triggered at client side by VBScript function. Avaya's ActiveXs seem to be only working with VBScript according to my understanding. So there was no way for ADF to capture VBScript events.
ADF is capable of javascript up to some extent. To do a critical application like this, my feeling is javascript is never a good option.
3) To use a text file. Avaya writes, ADF application reads.
Reasons to drop:
ADF can read the text files with normal java IO methods. But only the server directories are visible. So, Avaya has to write the information in the server file. With using a parameter like user name, ADF application can read the file in regular time intervals (with using poll feature) and get relevant information and automatically run the search.
Initially the idea was to do this at client side. But since this is a web application, file reading at client side is next to impossible. Again when one side is reading and the other side is writing, file access violations may occur.
4) Another option is if Avaya can offer the value in a web service, the ADF application can get it.
Reasons to drop:
There may occur a latency as well as Avaya says they can't offer web services.
5) The ideal solution is, the ADF application's front end control's IDs can be provided. If the Avaya system is capable of accessing or getting hold of DOM and pushing the value to the controls and clicking the button; things would become pretty straight forward. JMeter works like this in testing J2EE applications.
Any Recommendations how can it be done .
Thanks.

How do I reuse a custom java control in another project?

Relatively simple question, but I am having a lot of trouble with this. Documentation
alludes to this being possible and easy, but never says how (and the only tutorials
I can find describe creating a custom java control in the same project where they
are used):
"You can design a custom control for use in one project, or you can design a custom
control for easy reuse in multiple projects." (from WLS docs on Java Controls)
"When the control project builds, all of the controls and associated files are
compiled into a single jar file and pushed onto the classpath of the containing
application for immediate use and testing by other projects in the application.
This jar is self-contained and can be moved to any other application by adding
it to the application’s Library folder. Appropriately marked controls in the Library
it will automatically appear on the user’s palette, ready for incorporation into
an application." (from dev2dev article on controls, P. Hussey)
I have a Workshop application which contains a few projects. One project is a
component project, another is a web project. I created a custom java control in
the control project and built it (JAR appeared in the Libraries folder). Now I
open up the page flow in my web app project, and try to drag the java control
onto my page flow - but I get an eror that the control must reside in the same
project! It does not automatically appear on my palate, so if I go over to the
palate on the right, and try to "add control" I only get a list containing the
BEA controls - no custom controls are listed.
What am I doing wrong? How can I incorporate my custom control into a web project?
I don't want to move the control in the web project, since this contradicts the
concept of a separate shared library. I should be able to build a library of controls
and reuse them in our web projects right?
-Bob

Please disregard... I got it to work. For some reason I had to close Workshop,
restart it, then I reloaded the application, rebuilt the control project, and
now my control appears in the list of controls and can be easliy added to the
palette.

How do I run multiple java apps in one JVM to reduce memory use?

Hi all,
I saw an article either on the web or in a magazine not too long ago about how to "detect" if the app is already running, and if so, it hands off the new instance to the already running JVM, which then creates a thread to run the Java app in. As it turns out, my app will be used in an ASP environment, through Citrix. We may have as many as 50 to 100 users running the same app, each with their own unique user ID, but all using the same one server to run it on. Each instance eats up 25MB of memory right now. So the question is if anybody knows of a URL or an app like this that can handle the process of running the same (or even different Java) apps in one JVM as separate threads, instead of requring several instances of the JVM to run? I know this article presented a fully working example, and I believe I know enough to do it but I wanted ot use the article as a reference to make sure it is done right. I know that each app basically would use the same one "launcher" program that would on first launch "listen" to a port, as well as send a message through the port to see if an existing launcher was running. If it does, it hands off the Java app to be run to the existing luancher application and shuts down the 2nd launching app. By using this method, the JVM eats up its normal memory, but each Java app only consumes its necessary memory as well and doesn't use up more JVM instance memory.
Thanks.

How do you invoke custom java classes???

Could someone post a detailed method of invoking custom java classes that works including what files go where, settings and the way it is invoked etc.
I have tried various ways from this forum and in the documentation without success. I am using IDM 8. I found these instructions regarding how you would do it if you were writing custom resource adaptors in the deployment tools guide:
To install a resource adapter youve customized:
1. Load the NewResourceAdapter.class file in the Identity Manager installation
directory under
idm/WEB-INF/classes/com/waveset/adapter/sample
(You might have to create this directory.)
2. Copy the .gif file to idm/applet/images.
This .gif file is the image that displays next to the resource name on the List
Resources page, and it should contain an image for your resource that is
18x18 pixels and 72 DPI in size.
3. Add the class to the resource.adapter property in
config/waveset.properties.
4. Stop and restart the application server. (For information about working with
application servers, see Identity Manager Installation.)
I tried the instructions here but placed my custom class in a folder entitled custom instead of /adapter/sample. Not sure about instruction 3 or whether it is relevent. Anyway nothings working.

Hi,
The way to add custom class is the same as you followed , put them in the WEB-INF/classes.
To use the custom adapter ,
Go To Resources - > Configure Types -> Add Custom Resource .
Type in the fully qualified class name of the custom adapter you added.and Save.
Now the new adapter you added should showup in the list of available adapters when you try to
configure a new adapter.
(Make sure that the prototype XML of your custom adapter is correct so that it displays the correct name / type for the adapter in the adapter list.
Thanks,
Balu

How to do sorting/filtering on custom java data source implementation

Hi,
I have an entity driven view object whose data should be retrieved and populated using custom java data source implementation. I've done the same as said in document. I understand that Query mode should be the default one (i.e. database tables) and createRowFromResultSet will be called as many times as it needs based on the no. of data retrieved from service, provided we should write the logic for hasNextForCollection(). Implementation sample code is given below.
protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object qc, Object[] params, int noUserParams) {
Iterator datumItr = retrieveDataFromService(qc, params);
setUserDataForCollection(qc, datumItr);
hasNextForCollection(qc);
super.executeQueryForCollection(qc, params, noUserParams);
protected boolean hasNextForCollection(Object qc) {
Iterator datumItr = (Iterator) getUserDataForCollection(qc);
if (datumItr != null && datumItr.hasNext()){
return true;
setCallService(false);
setFetchCompleteForCollection(qc, true);
return false;
protected ViewRowImpl createRowFromResultSet(Object qc, ResultSet resultSet) {
Iterator datumItr = (Iterator) getUserDataForCollection(qc);
Object datumObj = datumItr.next();
ViewRowImpl r = createNewRowForCollection(qc);
return r;
Everything is working fine include table sorting/filtering. Then i noticed that everytime when user perform sorting/filtering, executeQueryForCollection is called, which in turn calls my service. It is a performance issue. I want to avoid. So i did some modification in the implementation in such a way that, service call will happen only if the callService flag is set to true, followed by executeQuery(). Code is given below.
private boolean callService = false;
public void setCallService(boolean callService){
this.callService = callService;
public boolean isCallService(){
return callService;
protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object qc, Object[] params, int noUserParams){
if (callService)
Iterator datumItr = retrieveDataFromService(qc, params);
setUserDataForCollection(qc, datumItr);
hasNextForCollection(qc);
super.executeQueryForCollection(qc, params, noUserParams);
Issue i have:
When user attempts to use table sort/filter, since i skipped the service call and set null as userDataCollection, createRowFromResultSet is not called and data which i retrieved and populated to view object is totally got vanished!!. I've already retrived data and created row from result set. Why it should get vanished? Don't know why.
Tried solution:
I came to know that query mode should be set to Scan_Entity_Cache for filtering and Scan_View_Rows for sorting. I din't disturb the implementation (i.e. skipping service call) but overrided the executeQuery and did like the following code.
@Override
public void executeQuery(){
setQueryMode(callService ? ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_DATABASE_TABLES : ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_ENTITY_ROWS);
super.executeQuery();
By doing this, i could able to do table filtering but when i try to use table sorting or programmatic sorting, sorting is not at all applied.
I changed the code like beolw*
@Override
public void executeQuery(){
setQueryMode(callService ? ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_DATABASE_TABLES : ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_VIEW_ROWS);
super.executeQuery();
Now sorting is working fine but filtering is not working in an expected way because Scan_View_rows will do further filtering of view rows.
Question:
I don't know how to achieve both filtering and sorting as well as skipping of service call too.
Can anyone help on this?? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have an entity driven view object whose data should be retrieved and populated using custom java data source implementation. I've done the same as said in document. I understand that Query mode should be the default one (i.e. database tables) and createRowFromResultSet will be called as many times as it needs based on the no. of data retrieved from service, provided we should write the logic for hasNextForCollection(). Implementation sample code is given below.
protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object qc, Object[] params, int noUserParams) {
Iterator datumItr = retrieveDataFromService(qc, params);
setUserDataForCollection(qc, datumItr);
hasNextForCollection(qc);
super.executeQueryForCollection(qc, params, noUserParams);
protected boolean hasNextForCollection(Object qc) {
Iterator datumItr = (Iterator) getUserDataForCollection(qc);
if (datumItr != null && datumItr.hasNext()){
    return true;
setFetchCompleteForCollection(qc, true);
return false;
protected ViewRowImpl createRowFromResultSet(Object qc, ResultSet resultSet) {
Iterator datumItr = (Iterator) getUserDataForCollection(qc);
Object datumObj = datumItr.next();
ViewRowImpl r = createNewRowForCollection(qc);
return r;
}Everything is working fine include table sorting/filtering. Then i noticed that everytime when user perform sorting/filtering, executeQueryForCollection is called, which in turn calls my service. It is a performance issue. I want to avoid. So i did some modification in the implementation in such a way that, service call will happen only if the callService flag is set to true, followed by executeQuery(). Code is given below.
private boolean callService = false;
public void setCallService(boolean callService){
this.callService = callService;
public boolean isCallService(){
return callService;
protected void executeQueryForCollection(Object qc, Object[] params, int noUserParams){
if (callService) {
    Iterator datumItr = retrieveDataFromService(qc, params);
    setUserDataForCollection(qc, datumItr);
hasNextForCollection(qc);
super.executeQueryForCollection(qc, params, noUserParams);
}Issue i have:
When user attempts to use table sort/filter, since i skipped the service call and storing of userDataCollection, createRowFromResultSet is not called and data which i retrieved and populated to view object is totally got vanished!!. I've already retrived data and created row from result set. Why it should get vanished? Don't know why.

How to implement secure Licencing for Java Apps?

Hi
I'm already thinking some months about this topic. I serached the web, some books and magazines, i asked quite a lot of people - but in the end, there seems to be no really satisfying answer.
My main question is: what can i do to protect the software i wrote? The problem is, where ever i start, i end with open questions.....
I may start delivering a custom licence key with my software that contains information i.e. about who may run it and for how long. To check integrity i sign the licences key (with a digest) and ckeck the integrity in the application. Like this, i could make sure, that the software runs only with a valid licence.
But two new problem araise - if the licence key is given to the web, everyone will be able to run the software. Second, i have to implement a methode to check the digest, so i have to deliver the key with the software and like this, the key could just be used to generate new licence files. Third, i hav to protect my code, since anyone could recompile it, he could check the algorithms i use to check the digest and even worse, he just could disable the codeblock that checks the licence.
So i use an obfuscator to scramble my code, and to get the most out of this technique, i use a controlflow obfuscator. This adds some security, but still the code can be decompiled but wouldn't be too easy to understand. For making it even a little bit harder to read, i will "distribute" the licence digest check over some different classes.
But still the first two problems remain. So i think about encrypting the licence file. To make that secure, i would use a public/private key encryption since if i use a secret key encryption i would have to deliver the key with the software and anyone could use it to generate new encrypted licene files. The problem with the public/private key is, that i should deliver a public key with the software that is only capable of decrypting, but not of encrypting. Like this, i can implement a decryption methode in the software that can decrypt the licence file and read all requiered licence data but the user is not able to generate a new licence file because he has the read-only key. Obvisouly there is no such private/public key technique that allows one key to be decrypt only and the other to be encrypt and decrypt (or at least encrypt only). Algorithms like PGP have a public key that allows encryption only and a private key that allows decryption only.
I could go on presenting some more ideas i found to "protect" software/licence but the all come to the same point where they leave a lot of other open questions.
I wonder what you all out there do to protect your software, what kind of technique you use for licencing implementation. I would be very glad to read what problem you face reagarding this topics and maybe how you solved it or what your conclusion was.
Greetings
josh

yes, absolutely. That's the point. Try to make it hard
to get the software some other way. So it's easer to
get the software by buying it.
Nope.
- There are those who steal it just to steal it. They don't use it.
- There are those who steal it because the price is too extreme. If your income for the year is measured as only several thousand dollars you are not going to be able to buy a package that costs a thousand dollars or more.
- There are those who steal it because the preceived benifit is less than the cost. For instance, at least in the past, MS software cost at least three times as much in some european companies compared to the exchange rate.
- Finally there are those who steal simply because they don't want to pay for it.
As far as I am concerned the last category is the only relevant one. And that is far smaller than any software theft estimates that the software industry regularly claims.

Here is an example of someone who thinks that their
work is good enough and valuable enough to stand on
its own...http://www.fileviewer.com/.
And I liked it enough that at one company I hadthem
purchase a site license. And I like it enough thatI
still remember the company five years after thelast
time I needed the product.that's fine and it would be very nice if everybody
would be like you. But that's not the case and you
even may not be sure if not someone in that company
took a copy of the software and the licence and now is
using it for free are even gave it in the "public
domain". Woulnd't that be sad if the company would
have to close down someday because just a few people
are paying for it. Even if it is such a smart
product?There was a clothing chain that closed down because they claimed that, even after installing anti-theft devices, they were still losing too much money from shop lifters.
If that is the case why do all of the other companies still exist?
If your product is good then people will buy it. The successes for that are abundant. The only success stories for copy protection schemes are for the copies that sell those schemes.

i wonder if you close your door when you leava your
appartment. I mean, what's wrong with protecting a
code? It's just the same as protecting the money you
earn, the furnish in your appartment, ...
Sorry, when I buy a product then I expect to be able to use it.
With your analogy I would have to use a code that you provided everytime I wanted to get into and out of my apartment.
So for any comments, ideas, ... on how to addsome
more protection i'm very thankfull.You search for "obfuscator".yes, as i wrote in the first posting, i know about
obfuscator, i'm using it, but it's just very poor
protection. That's why I'm looking for a smart concept
to gain a little bit more protection.And if you search for that term in these forums, and read the lengthy posts, you might find some ideas. Which is why I suggested it. (And you might understand why the alternatives are not used.)

10.1.3.4 - How to access custom java methods in worklist ?

We want to invoke a custom java method inside of worklist, when the file attachments are added to the worklist. We are planning to modify the auto-generated jsp page to do the same. We have created the custom jar files, but am not sure where to deploy this jar file ? We are not able to compile the jsp /jar. Does anybody have any idea where the custom jar file goes ?

The bpel\samples\hw\worklistapp\readme will explain you about how to do this.

How to import custom java jar/class into oracle to be used in java proc ?

Hi
I would like to know how to import custom java jar/class files into oracle to be used in java stored procedure.
I am developing a oracle pl/sql procedure to call java program. The java program will be created as procedure and will be published.
But, my question is that I do have a other external jar/class file that need to be imported into this java program.
example
raise_sal.java
import java.util.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
<<reference other java programs >>
import cmpmsgsvc.xxxx.* ;
import cmpmsgsvc.yyyy.* ;
import cmpmsgsvc.zzzz.* ;
how do I import the cmpmsgsvc jar/class file into oracle so that I don't have any
compilation errros on raise_sal.java program ??
what are the steps to import/compile and validate to do this?
thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks
rrb.

Problem is that, I have 6 jar files that are needed to be included in the main java program. And, there are more than 50+ classes, propertiers in those 6 jar files.
It might be not good idea to have all those 50+ classes in the production database.
Is there anyway that I keep all those 6 jar files in unix box (our's is oracle erp installation with oracle being installed on unix box) and just refer them in the main java program. I mean database will be loaded with main java program and it should able to refer other 6 jar files from unix.
if we create a directory and keep all jar files in there and include that directory in classpath variable, does this works? or what is other method?
Please let me know.
Thanks
