How to bind to REST web services?

The REST web services don't provide WSDL. How to bind this kind of services?
Thanks.

Melvin, not yet (in fact it's on my plate) - what I usually argue for is to abstract these pieces into services (much like what I did in the rest sample, and then expose them .. )
In any case - I will start collecting ideas (that is topics) for best practices soon .. Let me know if you have any specific wishes.
cheers

How to consume Google REST web service

Dear All,
I have a task to embed Google Maps into web dynpro and/or CRM WebUI.
There is no problem with embedding only map with route on it, but I need also calculated distance.
In WebDynpro I've just created iFrame CHIP component which targets: http://maps.google.pl/maps?output=embed and two CHIPS with import parameters to give source and destination address. Route is calculated and drawn.
Problem is with the distance, because the only way is to consume google web service (which is not SOAP, so I can't use service consumer). It must be something like web request.
URL which I need to access is:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/xml?&mode=driving&sensor=false&origins=Warsaw&destinations=Hamburg
or
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?&mode=driving&sensor=false&origins=Warsaw&destinations=Hamburg
where origins and destinations must be connected with import CHIPS. How to access such service in a proper way?
Second thing is that I have to parse response.. it could be XML or JSON format. I just need summary distance. Any idea?
Btw - I'm quite fresh with WebDynpro and WebUI, so I'm looking for good 'HOW TO' guide. Can you recommend something which is good to start with?
thanks in advance

Details on how to use the RESTful Web Services SDK

Hello,
this sounds really interesting for an important use case we're currently developing. Unfortunately, I am not a skilled developer and would therefore need to know two more things:
1) in the beginning, it says ''assumes that there are no parameter values that need to be set'. Is this a core restriction or just to keep things simpel for this example? For our specific use case, we would need to at least transmit a report name and an execution date (which is not necessarily always equal to 'today')
2) can we have the PDF sent to a Netweaver App Server? Can the target location there be parameterized somehow?
3) I understzand that there's also the Open Doc interface that could achieve similar features. Could you please elaborate which are the differences in the two approaches, maybe even pros and cons?
Thanks
Philipp

Hi Philipp,
1) This is just to keep things simple for the example
2) You would need to first send the PDF to a file system, and then have a separate process to send it to the Netweaver App Server. There isn't built-in integration to the Netweaver App Server.
3) Stated simply:
OpenDocument allows you to reference content via a single URL, best used for embedding content in your web page or application. Pro: Simplest Option Con: Less power than REST API
The REST API allows you to manipulate report objects in Web Intelligence and do things like set datasource and create report scheduling jobs. Pro: More Power and Flexibility Con: Requires knowledge of programming with REST APIs.
Best Regards,
Terry

How to register Rest web services in Cold Fusion 9 administration console?

I am building a Rest web service using Cold Fusion 9 and Cold Fusion Builder 3 and now I want to register it on Cold Fusion 9 admin console, but I didn't see any option there as in CF 10 and CF 11 Data Services ---> Rest Web service. So, please tell me how to register my Rest web service in CF 9 either through admin console or through code?

Simple answer: you can't. REST services were a new feature released with CF10. Alternatively, you can use a community-supported framework to provide REST services, such as:
Taffy (a dedicated REST framework)
FW/1 (an MVC framework with REST capabilities)
ColdBox (an MVC framework with REST capabilities)

Can we use REST web service as Data source in SSRS? !!!!NOT SOAP!!!!

Hello,
We have requirement to use the REST web service as the Data source of SSRS. Tried with XML as Data Source, but unfortunately I could not succeed because the query expects SOAPAction which is not available in REST Service.
Do we have any option to use REST Service, if so please provide some basic example, so that I can try out some options.
If not, do we have any alternate solutions to handle these situations?
Thanks!
Vinay

Hi Vinay.
After looking on it for some time, I am afraid currently there is no document to talk on how to use the REST web service as a data source.
You can use the link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa964129(v=SQL.90).aspx for a renference.
From a support perspective currently this is really beyond what we can do here in the forums. If you cannot determine your answer here or on your own, consider opening a
support case with us. Visit this link to see the various support options that are available to better meet your needs: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=fh;en-us;offerprophone

How to call restful web services from BPEL

How do we call create partnerlinks for calling RESTful web services in Oracle BPEL.
Any ideas ?

Raymond,
1. To consume WebService in Flex you don't need FDS at all.
2. AFAIK, you need crossdomain.xml at WS host or System.allowDomain("ws-host") or System.allowInsecureDomain("ws-host") on Flex side. Check Flex documentation.
3. Better to discuss this topic in some other forum -- say WebAS General. It's not related to WD

How to build complex object to be sent to a RESTful web service?

Hi,
I'm working with RESTful web services on J2EE 1.6.
I create the database, generate the entities and generate the web services.
I must implement Javascript clients and I don't want to use any open source for that.
I have a simple example that works just fine. For the database :
CREATE TABLE Shopper(
shopperId MEDIUMINT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
firstName VARCHAR(40),
lastName VARCHAR(40),
phone VARCHAR(40),
email VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
receiveEmailNotification ENUM('Y', 'N'),
index(email)
I create this xml information with javascript :
*<shopper>*
*<email>c</email>*
*<firstName>c</firstName>*
*<lastName>c</lastName>*
*<phone>c</phone>*
*<receiveEmailNotification>Y</receiveEmailNotification>*
*</shopper>*
and it is saved in the database. I have a more complex application with relationships between entites. For this database :
CREATE TABLE Shopper(
shopperId MEDIUMINT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
firstName VARCHAR(40),
lastName VARCHAR(40),
phone VARCHAR(40),
email VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
receiveEmailNotification ENUM('Y', 'N'),
index(email)
CREATE TABLE Address(
addressId MEDIUMINT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
street VARCHAR(60),
streetNo VARCHAR(20),
postalCode VARCHAR(30),
city VARCHAR(40),
country VARCHAR(40),
otherInfo TEXT,
shopperId MEDIUMINT NOT NULL,
foreign key (shopperId) REFERENCES shopper(shopperId) ON DELETE CASCADE,
index(shopperId)
I was expecting that xml information sent from the browser should be:
*<address>*
*<city>c</city>*
*<country>c</country>*
*<otherInfo>c</otherInfo>*
*<postalCode>c</postalCode>*
*<street>c</street>*
*<streetNo>c</streetNo>*
*<shopper>*
*<email>c</email>*
*<firstName>c</firstName>*
*<lastName>c</lastName>*
*<phone>c</phone>*
*<receiveEmailNotification>Y</receiveEmailNotification>*
*</shopper>*
*</address>*
but I keep on getting errors.
I want to send one XML structure that will be stored in two tables according to the foreign key relation.
Does the RESTful web services code generated by Netbeans or Eclipse support this?
Is my XML structure not built correctly?

Kevin,
My object base class is Abstract and class I am using in Flex 3 is class inheriting abstract class. But when calling webservice Flex creating soap message of base class and I am getting error in .Net web services that "Can not create instance of Abstract class".
Below is the soap message difference calling same WCF method from .Net and Flex. For example Constraint is the base class and JobConstraint is the class which inherit Constraint class. But flex send message forming only Constraint while .Net soap is specifying i:type="JobConstraint".

How to update the Query of an existing WEBI document's dataprovider, through the RESTful Web service SDK.

Hi,
I am trying to update the Query of an existing WEBI document's dataprovider, through the RESTful Web service SDK.
For this, first i will get the Dataprovider information,
Example:
URI: http://localhost:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/11111/dataproviders/DP0
Expected result;
<dataprovider>
     <id>DP0</id>
     <name>Query 1</name>
     <dataSourceId>1234</dataSourceId>
     <updated>2014-04-18T11:55:21.000-08:00</updated>

How to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts with RESTful Web Services

Hello,
I am trying to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts using RESTful Web Services with prompts. I am using Simple Rest Client app provided by Google Chrome. We have Business Objects SP6 Patch 1.
However the documentation for RESTful Web Services has only examples for the following
1. Schedule Documents without any Prompts to various destinations and recurrences.
2. Refresh Documents with Prompts.
Is there any example for scheduling documents with prompts? Please advise
Thanks in advance

Hi Peter,
With Rest Client, on BI4.0 SP6, you can schedule Webi documents with prompts using the following:
URL: http://<servername>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/<docid>/schedules
Method:POST
Request Body:
<schedule>
<name>Enter values for City:</name>
<format type="webi"/>
<destination>
<inbox/>
</destination>
<once retriesAllowed="2" retryIntervalInSeconds="60">
<startdate>2013-08-26T15:58:51.000+02:00</startdate>
<enddate>2013-08-27T15:58:51.000+02:00</enddate>
</once>
<parameters>
<parameter optional="false" type="prompt" dpId="DP0">
<id>0</id>
<technicalName>Enter values for City:</technicalName>
<answer constrained="false" type="Text">
<values>
<value>Austin</value>
</values>
</answer>
</parameter>
</parameters>
</schedule>
Using the above request you can schedule the Webi document with prompts to inbox destination and set for once.
The schedule can be sent in different formats to several destinations and set just for once, daily,
hourly or monthly.
You can also check the example for this on page 275 of SAP Webi RESTful SDK user guide for BI4.0 SP6 below:
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4sp6_webi_restful_ws_en.pdf

How to call Jive Search methods using REST Web Services from ADF

Hi
Can someone provide me an example to call JIVE Search using REST web services from Webcenter ADF.
As we have the similar facility to call UCM Search from WebServices DataControl.
Do we have anything similar like this for JIVE Search?
JIVE 5.1 is deprecating SOAP style web services and so I am planning to use REST.
Any suggestions on this is much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Khad

so what exactly is the problem here?
what is not working?

REST Web Service Output Parameter not working in POST Handler

I've created a RESTful Web Service in Oracle Apex, using a POST method as "handler". I've setup 11 input parameters which all work fine, it is my one output parameter that does not return successfully.
Here is detail on the Output Paramter
Name: returns
Bind Variable Name: :returns
Access Method: OUT
Source Type: Response
Parameter Type: String
The actual source is a call to a pl/sql package that returns a value that I set :returns equal to (eg :returns := v_result). I've tried this with Source Type Header and still the same result, 'no output'.
I see APEX is calling wwv_flow_api.create_restful_param to generate the parameters (for importing), is there any documentation on this procedure?
How can I get this output parameter to return something in the response?
The request accepts a Json payload.
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks,
James

Solved my own problem :returns does not work needs to be returns

Problem getting RESTful web service reference working with header value

Hi,
I posted this on Apex Listener forum but since I am not sure problem is with my Application RESTful web service reference or a Listener issue, I am posting here as well:
I am on Apex 4.2.2 and Listener 2.1 and the listener is on WEblogic.
I succeeded to get a RESTful web service working in an application with no header to obtain a full set of data. The data set is very large, so I am now just trying to set up a web service to get a set of data based on a student ID.
I followed the examples shown in the RESTful web service module of SQL Workshop and set up a handler of this type:
https://ourweblogicserver/apex/bnr/ace/students/course_grades/{stid}
The test for this handler succeeded both for JSON output and CSV output in the Workshop test environment.
However, when I try it from a Web Service Reference that I created for my application following what looked like the same approach used on the example video, I get NO data back. If I put a 'stid' directly into a URL of a web browser and do the basic authentication I get the data!!
This is what I have for the Web service reference:
https://ourweblogicserver/apex/bnr/ace/students/course_grades/{stid}
Basic auth set to Yes -- and this is working -- I am able to authenticate
HTTP method Get
output format Text
no response Xpath
no response namespace
defaults for new record and parameter delimiter
NO REST input parameters
Output set for all the fields in the data set queried (same set of data as in my rest service which does not have any http header)
REST HTTP Header : Name stid
I there something I am missing. I am not sure how to troubleshoot this further.
I also tried exactly following the example shown on the Oracle Video for RESTFul web services at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkCvd6P8_OU
and I can't get the 2nd example to work either-- where the header has the bind variable parameter.
Pat

I was able to resolve the problem -- in the latest version of the RESTful web service that I created, I had left out the creation of the Header Parameter bind variable. Once I did that everything works fine!! I was able to test in the application and got the record of an individual student.
Thanks,
PM

ADF Mobile - Securing REST Web Services

Hi,
I've developed some REST web services for my ADF Mobile app to use. They work fine but I'm having trouble securing them. According to the developer guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35521_01/doc.111230/e24475/amxwebservices.htm#CHDGFCGD
10.5.2 How to Enable Access to REST-Based Web Services
Since only one security policy is supported for REST-based web services, ADF Mobile automatically adds oracle/wss_http_token_over_ssl_client_policy for REST web service over HTTPS, or oracle/wss_http_token_client_policy for REST web service over HTTP protocol to enable Oracle Web Services Manager (OWSM) Lite Mobile ADF Application Agent to inject a proper security header.
..so I'm trying to attach the policy oracle/wss_http_token_service_policy to the web service, but deploying it to Weblogic results in the below stack trace.
I'm trying to attach the policy in JDeveloper by selecting the service class in the java structure pane, then in the Property Inspector, using the "Web Services extension" section to select the policy.
I'm guessing I've missed a step, but can't find what. Or I'm doing completely the wrong thing. Either way, any help in resolving would be very much appreciated.
