How to access and display a Web Service from a WSDL in JSP or JSTL ?

Dear All,
We need to access a Web Service which is hosted as WSDL How to access a WSDL file from JSP or JSTL, parse and display the SOAP response in JSP page.
Any simple example or URL as reference to an example will be useful for me.
It seems io tags of jakarta is able to send soap message, but how to display it in JSP.
Yours,
Sankar.B

Dear Sir,
Yes. I would like to know more about the Forte and how to consume WSDL file from JSTL. The following are my querirs.
1. How to connect the declared JNDI from a JSP page. i.e: the Datasource - ex: booksDS
2. We connect the Tomcat server using JNDI as jdbc/scott. But, if I give jdbc/scott in JSTL as datasource={jdbc/scott}, we could not able to connect. We use the following code in a JSP page to connect the DB from a JSP page. (Its quite easy to modify, so we use the connection in a JSP page.)
3. How to Consume a WSDL url from JSTL. Ex: If there is a URL : http://localhost/ws/MathService.asmx?wsdl OR http://www.xmethods.com/test/BabelFish
4. How to display the result. We tried via SOAP from io taglib of Jakarta, but gives us an SOAP (it also looks like xml) response. But, how to use the value from that soap response in IE client thru JSTL/JSP.
5. Whether this JSTL tool will be available with Forte Enterprise/Community Edition. If so EE, whats the price.
Please Reply Immediatly. We tried, trying, going to try to display a wsdl response, but not able to display in IE thru JSP/JSTL. But, weve tested the www.gotdotnet.com examples of asp.net web services, we are thru. Its quite easy it seems in .NET. But, we feel whether even there is not even one example in JSTL/ Java Web Services Dev. Pack to utilise a web service in full cycle. The example which uve given is thru servlets. We dont use servlets. Cos, its very easy to edit JSP pages, instead of compiling the serv. and using it.
I hope ull reply for all the above queries, since ur from SUN.
Expecting your fav. reply.
Yours,
Sankar.B

How to access (any) soap / rest web services from widget

Hi all,
Is there an API, javascript library etc, which allows accessing (any) soap / rest webservices from widgets?
I know I can access web services from sap j2ee with widget foundation, but I'm still not sure how to access "outside"
web services.
A blog entry about this topic would be greatly appreciated I think, not only by me.
Regards,
Ladislav

As promised, below is the js lib source code. I did not see the attachement option, so you can just create a text file and save it with .js extension.
          function getHdrData( FuncName ) {
            return '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>' +
                      '<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" ' +
                                         'xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ' +
                                         'xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">' +
                      '<SOAP-ENV:Header><sapsess:Session ' +
                                'xmlns:sapsess="http://www.sap.com/webas/630/soap/features/session/">' +
                                '<enableSession>true</enableSession></sapsess:Session>'+
                      '</SOAP-ENV:Header><SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:' +
                      FuncName +
                      ' xmlns:ns1=\'urn:sap-com:document:sap:soap:functions:mc-style\'>';
          function addVar ( VarName, VarValue ) {
            return '<' + VarName + '>' + VarValue + '</' + VarName + '>';
          function getFtrData( FuncName ) {
          return '</ns1:' + FuncName + '></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>';
          function setTable ( TblName, TblType) {
               return '<' + TblName + ' xsi:type=\'ns1:' + TblType + '\'>';
          function closeTable ( TblName) {
               return '</' + TblName + '>';
          function startEntry( ) {
               return '<item>';
          function endEntry( ) {
               return '</item>';
So the following is the basic on how to use this library:
* Set up SOAP envelope
* Get the header data
getHdrData( SOAP operation name )
* If the web service set up the table and record start tags
setTable( variable name, table type ) - Optional
Set new record tag: startEntry() ? Optional
* Set up the fieldname or variable name
addVar( variable name, variable value )
* Set up the table and record end tags
endEntry() ? Optional
closeTable( variable name ) ? Optional
* Set up the footer SOAP envelope
Set footer data: getFtrData(SOAP operation name )
So hopefully that will help you consume SAP Published web services.

How to install and consume GroupWise Web Service (SOAP)

Hello! I'm Razvan, programmer from Romnia, and I am new to GroupWise development.
I am asking if anyone could help me with a C# Visual Studio 2010 example of how to install and consume GroupWise Web Service (SOAP).
The documentation from novell site didn't help me, i didn't understant much of it.
All I need is either a link to a documented GroupWise C# developer step-by-step tutorial, or some code examples.
Can you please show me some code examples in C# with:
1)loging in using a username and a password,
2)retrieving contact list,
3)retrieving appointment list,
4)sending a mail,
5)setting an appointment
I don't know how to use "groupwise.wsdl" and customise it so that it points to our GroupWise server.
Please, I really need this because I am working at a project right now which involves GroupWise integration.
I hope I haven't disturbed anyone with my simple question.
I know this might be a very simple question given the complexity of the other posts here, but that's why I really hope I will get an answer soon.
Thank you very much!

How to deploy and debug java web service in eclipes or using any other soft

Hai,
can any one tell me how to deploy and debug java web service in eclipes or using any other software.
i have used tomcat web server and jdk1.4.0 to develop web service.
we have used web service to interact with MS outlook .
bye
sudhakar.m

Hi Sudhakar,
If you are used to working with ant then you can very well use eclipse to deploy your web service.
You would usually have the ant script in the source root working directory. From eclipse if you select the build file from the navigator view and right click you will see a run ant option in the pop up menu.
Select that option and you would be able to see each targets with a checkbox select option. So define each target maybe one for wsdl2java conversion, one for compilation and one for deploying your web services. You can either make all of them run by having depends option on or you can run them individually as it takes your fancy.
I am not sure about debugging a web service yet.
Hope this helps

How to develop and call Asynchronous web service

Hi All,
I need to have a java web service that will be called asynchronously.
That should execute, once triggered and caller shouldnt need to wait till its completion.
How to develop and call asynchronoue web service ?
Thanks
Saikrishna

Let your web service start its own background thread (*) somehow and move your business logic from web service to this thread. Then you can return from your web service. The client won't be blocked and your application will run on your server after service callout will be finished.
I hope that's what you need. Anyway, there is only "asynchronous communication" and nothing like "asynchronous web service". At least from HTTP point of view, every call is synchronous - you have request and response.
(*) You shouldn't start your own thread since you are in JEE world. Look at documentation for your container. E.g. for weblogic there are workers you can use this way. Or you can choose the other way. I hope that for any container you can just enqueue your web service request to any JMS queue and move your business logic to an appropriate MDB. Then, your web service will be just a simple JMS producer and your web service client won't be forced to wait for business logic to finish.
Last but not least, next time choose a better forum. :-)

How can I call a SAPME web service from MII such as PlaceFutureHold?

Dears,
How can I call a SAPME web service from MII such as PlaceFutureHold?
By using MII, I would like to develop some logic to check some values which query from SAPME database, if the value is out of spec, it needs to send a emal to inform user ans also hold the SFC.
Thanks!

With Web service action block you can view all ME available services
in I.E
https://sapme:5000/manufacturing-services/ProductionServiceService?wsdl you could see your FutureHold service
To do that in MII, you need Web Service action block. Have you work with MII transaction before?
(saw your post in MII)

Guys,
You are asking about an issue that was a pain in the nick for me few months ago. The problem is that you won't find mych help here as I figured out that Apex geeks here either did not do much webservices or ended up hating it as i do :) . This is an error that can be due many different reason, let me ask you this:
1- Does your the other system you are trying to call through webservices using HTTPS ?
2- If yes, did you create a valid oracle wallet for that https connection ?
3- Make sure you are using the correct URL ( am sure you do, just double check )
4- If using a proxy, then you have to define that in the web service reference creation page
provide more info and I hope I can help you with this,
Sam
Please reward good answers by marking them correct or helpful!

Creating web service from existing WSDL - why wsimport?

Hi folks,
I'm using Netbeans 6.0 to "Create a web service from an existing WSDL..".
The problem is: it creates a new service with a NEW WSDL. I don't want it to do this, since I'm relying on a client to send a message conformant to the old WSDL. I'd noticed that in the jaxws-build.xml file, it's using wsimport instead of wsgen.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can tell Netbeans to create the service using the original WSDL (not generate a new one)? Do I have to use wsgen instead?

If you are under support contract, could you file a support issue at
http://support.bea.com/ and then post the case #? Thanks.

Web service from intranet WSDL

I have a simple (local) SOAP service (via perl SOAP::Lite) with a valid WSDL (validated with XML Spy). That works fine from a simple client....(provide a server and the service responds with all NFS mounts associated with the server)... the WSDL 'imports" a xsd schema via xsd:import. I can create the web service reference, but when attempting to generate a "Form and Report on Web Service" page I get a "No result Tree to Report on" "This Web service does not have a result tree in its definition that is appropriate for a report. You may wish to run the Form on Web Service wizard instead.".... why can't it read my tree? where can I find the errors (logs) specific to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem as posted above.
The Web service has an single numeric input parameter and an output parameter that is an array of objects containing 3 result fields. The web service returns the results correctly in a test harness outside of HTML_DB.
I have listed the WSDL content below. Can you tell what the problem reading the Report Tree from the WSDL might be ?
Thanks

How to deploy and start PHP web services required for a process

hello everyone!
i ve implemented some php web services. One of them is ManagePatientsImpl.php class
and the corresponding ManagePatients.wsdl.
How can deploy it? What are the files required apart from them?
In addition there are some GUI-files. Should these files be deployed together?
Thank you in advance!

i'm sorry, i assumed you were running weblogic server.
in case of oc4j you could try this :

How to fetch and display arbitrary log files from a managed host?

We are creating a small management portal for a custom application and need a way to display, in a browser, the contents of an arbitrary log file located on an EM managed host. The effect we are looking for is similar to what you get when you show the contents of a database alert log using EM.
I want to extend the EM agent to get the log and display the contents, but see two problems: (1) it seems like we would have to schedule the fetch of the log contents to happen on a regular basis and would not be able to do it on demand and (2) storing the results in the EM repository seems like it could consume a pile of storage, even if it only stores the logs for 24 hours.
I am pretty sure we can bypass the repository somehow because I think the "show database alert log" EM process does so. Of course, I can't really be sure how this code is getting the alert log, but it seems reasonable to assume it is using the management agent.
Is there some API for the EM Agent that I am missing?
Any ideas would be appreciated.

From within OEM it doesnt look possible. User defined metrics (UDM) can only return number or a string. The alertlog fetch is done via alertlogViewer.pl while being passed a couple of parameters.
OEM does have a preliminary/rough api available at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oem/emx/index.html but I havent seen anyone make use of it yet.
If you use just a web connection then you will probably run into security issues as a web server can usually only view/access stuff under their htmldoc dir.
Seems like some non-OEM very custom code is what you seek..

Is it possible to access a html based web service from a pdf form?

I was wondering if it is possible to send a query from livecycle to web service and parse the return data.
An quick example of what I am thinking is querying a database like wolfram alpha using their html query.
It is in the format http://api.wolframalpha.com/v2/query?input=pi&appid=XXXX. where "pi" is the query and XXXX is the specific user id
The website then returns a xml file.
Is there anyway to send out that html with any query from a text field and process the response?
Thanks!

Hi,
Naseko is right in using the formcalc get function, and I use this for accessing information from google calendar, you can also call the formcalc get function from JavaScript as described here http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/02/calling_formcalc_functions_fro.html.
The main problem I have is with the yellow message bar message and popup saying do you want to allow access to api.wolframalpha.com (or whatever). I think you can get around this by certifing the form, but I don't have access to the servre products to do that.
Anyway, if it helps have a look at https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=vFcW-9OVSm*BdV6GyFfUIg you will need to modify the button click code to specify your own appid but the code is simple enough;
var response = FormCalc.Function.Get("http://api.wolframalpha.com/v2/query?appid=<<appid>>&input=capital%20of%20australia");
response = response.replace(/^<\?xml\s+version\s*=\s*(["'])[^\1]+\1[^?]*\?>/, "");
var responseNode = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataGroup", "response");
responseNode.loadXML(response, false, false);
var answer = responseNode.resolveNode("queryresult.pod.(title.value=='Result')").subpod.plaintext.value;
console.println(answer);
So this code sends a query "capital of australia" and gets a response "Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia"
Replace <<appid>> with your appid and look at the linked sample to see how FormCalc.Function.Get works.
Also, expect Designer to crash a few times while getting it to work.
Hope this helps,
Bruce

How to call an ABAP based web service from a web page (form)

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how I can call my own developed ABAP based web service. I was able to successfully test it in the WS navigator and am now wondering what I need to do to embed the service call in a plain simply web page (form). Basically I'd like to create a web form allowing to specify the parameters and with a 'Submit' button pass the parameters to the web service and launch it.
Is this possible or do I need some kind of SDK to accomplish this?
Thanks for any hints and tips.

How to transfer username when calling web service from PI?

Hi
I have a scenario where a front end application is calling a web service exposed by PI 7.11 and PI is forwarding the call to the backend web service. That is, a SOAP sender adapter and a soap receiver adapter.
Now, I would like to transfer the username, which the PI exposed web service is called with, to the backend web service.
I previously did this by using a UDF where I picked up the username like this and mapped the username to a field in the request message when calling the backend web service:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP", "SRemoteUser");
String WSuser = conf.get(key);
return WSuser;
However, I would like to avoid this method and in stead e.g. use either a query string like http://xxxxx:6571/ISBWS/soap/ISBCore?username=mikael or maybe transfer the username in the http header in some way.
So my question is: what are my options and how do I set it up?

Apparenty sending user name details in query string is not best practice in webservice. Thats why WSDL does not cover user credentials inside. Webservice deals with message level security , transport level security, encryption , certificate authentication , username token etc
If you want to use http query string in the soap receiver target url try as below and see how that helps... somthing as below..
example: http://host:port/jsppage?userid=test or use xslt mapping or java mapping create soap header as you want and specify username over there.
