How to invoke we service with utl_dbws?

How do you call a web service from utl_dbws?

There's an example in the Callout download.
You can also read about it here:

  • Invoke web service with DTO

    Hey guys,
    I am quite new in using BPEL. My first test worked fine, but know I have an issue, which I can not solve. Invoking web services with a basic return value is no problem. I could also you a dto object including some basic variables in order to invoke the web service without having problems.
    But when I have a dto object as return value, I get the following exception.
    Could someone give me a hint to fix my problem...that would be great!
    Thanks alot!

    Hi
    Already i have seen this document, here they did not mention how to get the "Note TaskFlow" in resource catalog. In Resource catalog I didn't find any component named "Note TaskFlow".
    To make it visible in resource catalog. What should I do?
    To integrate Webcenter Services(link, mail, notes, etc..) with webcenter spaces, what do i need to do? Itseems all services are in the form of taskflows. How can i make it enable and to bring it in resource catelog?

  • Return NULL when invoke Web Service via UTL_DBWS

    Hi all,
    right now, i'm using UTL_DBWS to acces Web Service via database.. but when i'm trying to get data from WEB SERVICE, using utl_dbws.invoke , i got NULL value.
    It happened if The result more than Varchar2 / 32767 byte.
    i'have tried to change code by :
    result := sys.utl_dbws.invoke(l_call, l_input_params);
    P_clob := sys.anydata.accessCLOB(result);
    The Output IS NULL value even if the data was less than Varchar2 or 32767 byte..
    this is my script looks like ::
    declare
    service sys.utl_dbws.SERVICE;
    l_call sys.utl_dbws.CALL;
    result ANYDATA;
    wsdl_url VARCHAR2(1024);
    service_name VARCHAR2(200);
    operation_name VARCHAR2(200);
    input_params sys.utl_dbws.ANYDATA_LIST;
    p_out VARCHAR2(32767);
    p_xml XMLTYPE;
    p_clob CLOB;
    begin
    wsdl_url := 'http://127.0.0.1/Exercise/WSDL2.php?wsdl';

    operation_name := 'getData';
    service := sys.UTL_DBWS.create_service (
    wsdl_document_location => URIFACTORY.getURI(wsdl_url),
    service_name => service_name);
    l_call := sys.utl_dbws.create_call(
    service_handle => service,
    port_name => null,
    operation_name => operation_name
    input_params(1) := ANYDATA.ConvertVarchar2('DOCCODE');
    result := sys.utl_dbws.invoke(l_call, l_input_params);
    p_out := sys.anydata.accessVarchar2(result);
    sys.UTL_DBWS.release_call (call_handle => l_call);
    sys.UTL_DBWS.release_service (service_handle => service);
    end;
    Thanx for Any Help

    The basics are simple:
    - format a valid SOAP envelope
    - use UTL_HTTP to make the call
    - process the response (typically XML output)
    Sample source code in {message:id=4205205}.

  • How to invoke a service on a server other than local bpel server?

    Hi,
    Im trying to invoke a service on a server other than the local bpel server thats installed by default. Any pointers to how this can be achieved? My jedevelper does not show "Bpel process Manager server" under the connections navigator and hence I cannot create a new connection to a different server(other than the default one). Appreciate yr help.
    Thanks,
    -L

    If you only want to just invoke the service, you dont need a new connection.
    Cant you just point to the wsdl of the service in the partnerlink ?
    If you need a new connection in jdeveloper to the other server, you first need to make the new applicationserver connection and after that the integrationserver connection.
    After this you can connect to an other bpelserver, besides the default.

  • How to create web services with complex objects as parameters

    Hi,
    Not sure if this is the right place, but...
    I'm using Netbeans 5.5 and trying to learn web services.
    Creating a simple web service with simple parameters like strings and integers is nice and easy. I'm now trying to take the next step, and create a web service with a more complex schema as a parameter.
    I've tried two approaches, and hit dead ends on both:
    (1) Define my complex schema as an xsd file, and then create a WSDL file. Creating the schema and saving it in my EFB project works fine; when I try to create a new WSDL file, the IDE gives me a button to import external schemas - which is where the problem is: the Browse simply won't find my newly created schema file.
    (2) Define a Java class (in this case, it's a fairly simple example containing a single ArrayList), and then use the IDE to generate a web service from Java. The IDE does this fine, but I now have no idea how to consume or test the web service - I don't know where to look for the WSDL that has presumably been generated, and I'm also a bit iffy over what answers to give the WSDL creator about port names etc.
    Ideally, I'd prefer to get approach 1 to work - can someone point me in the direction of a sensible tutorial for these things?
    (Happy to carry on using Netbeans 5.5 or to revert to Sun Studio Enterprise, which I was playing with before.)
    All help appreciated, Thanks

    Hi,
    If you have a webservice ready with you then you can generate a proxy from SE80 and you can use that. You just have to create a port and assign to that generated proxy(CLASS) and you are good to go.

  • How to invoke web services in sequence in ESB?

    Is there any way to invoke multiple services (web, adapter) in a sequence using only the ESB? (I don't want to bring in BEPL).
    Something like this:
    Read File using File Adapter into schema
    |
    v
    Invoke database adapter to retrieve data and use it to enrich schema
    |
    v
    Invoke web service to retrieve more data and use it to enrich schema
    |
    v
    Send enriched schema to a final web service to perform some operation.
    Thanks in advance.

    From a technical standpoint, all I want to do is move data from point a to endpoints b, c, and d, and then move the reply or the fault from one of endpoints b, c, or d (whichever one the request went to) back to a.
    The "business logic" along the way is at 3 places:
    (1). To enrich the data that's being moved. The enriching data is in a database someplace. The logic that determines what that data is in the database is in the original data (message).
    Something like this:
    //Based on values in the original message, get some row
    If OriginalData.Body.field1 = X and OriginalData.SOAPHeader.field2 = y then retrieve Database.Row Z from the database
    then
    //Enrich the original message with the data from the retrieved row
    OriginalData.Body.field3 = Database.Row Z.field9
    (2). To decide where to move the data, i.e. b, c, or d. The decision to route the data dynamically retrieved from a web service.
    Something like this:
    Rule 1: If OriginalData.Body.field3 = A and OriginalData.SOAPHeader.field1= B then move data to endpoint b.
    Rule 2: Or If OriginalData.Body.field2 = C and OriginalData.SOAPHeader.field4= C then move data to endpoint c.
    Rule 3: Or If OriginalData.Body.field5 = C and OriginalData.SOAPHeader.field6= C then move data to endpoint d.
    ... and more combinations.
    So, send web service the enriched data and it applies rules Rule 1, and it sends back "b". Send web service the enriched data and it applies rules Rule 2, and it sends back "c". Send web service the enriched data and it applies rules Rule 3, and it sends back "d". In this way, adding new rules to the web service lets the customer dynamically "grow" new endpoints.
    (3). To transform the data from the format of point a to one of the formats of endpoints b, c, or d. The decision to transform the schema of the data is taken based on the outcome of the business logic applied in (2) above.
    This is a sample use case that my customer is using to compare Oracle's ESB capabilities with other vendors', and I have to work within specific boundaries.
    So, as I stated in my first post, I cannot use BPEL. All I have to establish is whether Oracle can do this using ESB.

  • How to use web services with Dynamic url behaviour

    Hi,
    IView created by me currently uses some web services whose url behavior is static but i want to give a dynamic url behavior. i.e. i want to use the url which user provides. So here are my questions
    1. How I shall assign the url supplied by the user to IView?
    2. If I want to set some config variables during runtimes how I shall do it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Vishvesh

    Hi,
    1. I'm guessing you mean the webservice's url the user provides is pointing to an identical webservice to what you used to create your proxy... otherwise I think it will be very hard to do (I can imagine creating the proxies using the wsdl tool in run time or using code dome.. but that can't be what you want, right?).
    So if what you wanted is to use the same web service with a different url, then the web service's proxy class you created has API for doing this in code! (it inherits it)
    2. you can't, simply since the portal application doesn't ever use the config file... it isn't even deployed to the portal... so dynamic properties are "out of the question" here, sorry... see 1 again
    Regards,
    Ofer

  • How to invoke synchronous services dynamically (parallel) using BPEL

    hi,
    I am working on soa suit 11g(11.1.1.2.0) & weblogic server 10.3.2. I have one requirement in which i need to dynamically route endpoints. To achive this, i have created one table in which i stored endpoints(wsdl url) & i used parallel flow to get that wsdl entry. I am invoking dbadaptor & taking input from parallel activity's as index variable which is unique for each time. Like for one flow it uses 1, second flow it uses 2 and so on. But when i m calling dbadaptor to get wsdl_url from table, everytime it's taking first index_value, hence i am not getting correct wsdl_url from table. If i will get correct url then i will use dynamica partnerlink to call wsdl.
    Could you please tell me any other way to dynamically route end point in BPEL?
    Thanks
    Amit

    Dude,
    I do have same requirement, but I followed the below link and I have created my process. I haven't tested it due to my environment is not yet ready. Even though my strong feeling is that we can achieve using this OSR installation. Just follow link and install OSR, after that take web service partner link and go to Resource pallet and invoke the service which is already exported from OSB, then one window will pop up with message of Check Dynamic......, there you have to check them. Finally all you need to do is..., Test it on another environment and let me know.

    How can I use statements (2) and (3) over here ?
    Thanks for any sort help.
    warm and best regards.

    You are missing some steps.
    When you invoke a java method from C++, the parameters have to be java parameters, no C++ parameters.
    For example, your code appears to me as thogh it is trying to pass a (C++) array of ints into a java method. No can do.
    You have to construct a java in array and fill it in with values.
    Here's a code snippet:
    jintArray intArray = env->NewIntArray(10); // Ten elments
    There are also jni functions for getting and setting array "regions".
    If you are going to really do this stuff, I suggest a resource:

  • Trouble invoking Axis service with multiple parameters

    Hallo Java experts,
    I have a problem with Axis 1.2RC2 (and Tomcat 5.0.19, JDK 1.5, Win XP) that might be quite simple, but I'm not so experienced and running out of ideas.
    Everything works fine as long as I use a single Parameter. But I can't invoke service methods with more parameters, independent of the parameters' (simple) types! Different exceptions are thrown, depending on the way I invoke the service. It's either ...
    - a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException (case 1)
    "Tried to invoke method public java.lang.String test.server.TestSoapBindingImpl.printLongs(long,long) with arguments java.lang.Long,null. The arguments do not match the signature."
    - or an org.xml.sax.SAXException (case 2)
    "SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize."
    Here's an example of a simple web service, that takes two longs and should return a string. In case 1 the service is invoked using a service locator in case 2 with a 'Call' object and explicitly set parameter types.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Dave, not sure if you still are looking for an answer but i hate seeing unreplied posts so i felt i needed to post something. I'm just beginning with this stuff as well so take my suggestions with a grain of salt....or a beer. Anyways, case 2 would show that you are getting your parameters through properly because the "deserialization" errror is targetted towards the soap reply. Most likely you are trying to receive back a none primitive type. :-D i.e. such as the problem that i'm having.
    hope that helps somewhat.
