HTTP Adapter and Other Approaches to Call REST services

Hi,
We are coming up with a BPEL process to call the REST service using GET and POST methods. When i tried using HTTP adapter, we have got the error REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL so we went to another approach given in the blog https://blogs.oracle.com/reynolds/entry/oracle_http_adapter.
This is working fine in BPEL 10g, when we did in the same way in 11g and tried to test we are getting the NullPointerException. Following is the error trace that is shown in the diagnostic log file. Please do let me know if anybody faced this issue and have insight on the same.

I tried using the HTTP adapter which is the straight forward way for calling the REST based services. But when we use XSD complex type we are getting the error REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL. We have to use GET method. when we tried from the browser it's working fine as expected but erroring out from BPEL.

Calling REST Services that accept JSON objects from BPEL Process

Hi,
I do have a requirement of calling RESTful service from the BPEL process (SOA Suite 11.1.1.5). The RESTful service accepts the payload as JSON object.
I have gone through the documentation of HTTP binding through which we can call RESTful services from BPEL. But the payload option is coming as only XML.
So just wondering whether BPEL has out-of-the box support for JSON object payloads when calling REST service? Please let me know if you have any pointers on this.
Thanks & Regards
S

Hi Vijay,
Thanks for the links Vijay.
Went through the links and the documentation. From that i could see the only way is coming up with Java based proxy which takes care of XML to JSON conversion and calling the REST based service. This would actually need a java developer now :)

Outbound HTTP adapter and URL parameters

Hi all
I'm having some trouble with a XI scenario I'm supposed to implement.
I should get invoices from a vendors webserver using a url with parameters (ex. http://myvendor.com/getinvoice.jsp?invoiceid=12345) and send it as INVOICE IDoc to the R/3.
I thought that would be an easy one using the Plain HTTP-Adapter but I can't figure out how to build the URL. Is there a way to do that, or do I need to implement my own adapter??
Thanks in advance
Stefan

Hi experts ,
I have this scenario from Legacy to XI to external app server.I have a test jsp to execute that functionality .Its a jsp which has 1 textarea named "test" and when I click on the submit buton I get a response back.This way I am able to test this independently.Now from XI when I am executing my scenario I am getting status code '1250' and message as ' http request(test) is null'.Now in the scenario in http adapter I just provide the target host : ip of server ,
service number : port no ,
path: the container or the request handler. But this scenario fails and gives me the above erroneous response.Now Basically I am not able to get how to send the value to the textarea "test"? please provide help as soon as possible.Do we have to put the name of the jsp in the "path" in http adapter and use prolog as test= or should it be &test= .I tried this but it doesnt work.So please provide help on this as soon as possible or please suggest a solution at [email protected]
Thanx in advance,

Interconnect HTTP adapter and B2B

The HTTP adapter within Interconnect does not seem to support SOAP HTTP formats, would B2B be able to manipulate the HTTP from the HTTP Adapter and create it in SOAP format.

Unfortunately B2B do not support generic SOAP formats today. It only
supports SOAP in the context of ebXML.

My location service is not working from the day one the response is that (cannot able to determine the location) .What can i need to do to see my location in maps and other application even the location services is enabled in the settings?

From the day one the response is that (cannot able to determine the location) while using ios5.1 .What can i need to do to see my location in maps and other application even the location services is enabled in the settings?.Which means that is there is any problem in my ipad ? currently running on IOS 6.

Your location is determined from a location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured. The database is built and updated by actually driving around and mapping router locations.
Since you just moved the location of your router has not been updated in the database and when you use Maps you will see your old location.
If you go outside your house you can be correctly located because your iPod sees other routers which are in the location database. Note that you do not need to be connected to a router for your iPod to see it and obtain its MAC address.

HTTP Adapter and DUNS scheme - possible bug ?

Hi Folks,
I am using the HTTP adapter for posting an XML message which is then redirected towards IDOC adapter ... nothing special here ...
I am using the scheme 'DUNS' and agency '016' to pass along the partner identification when calling the HTTP adapter ...
The HTTP adapter tries to match the given partner information and finds the proper XI Party ... BUT ... it overwrites the DUNS number value with the XI Party but leaves the agency and scheme pointing to DUNS ...
An example
Going IN:
Party = 12345789, Agency = 016, Scheme = DUNS
After conversion
Party = MyPartner, Agency = 016, Scheme = DUNS
So the receiver determination works fine and then we go to the IDOC adapter when stuff goes into error as it cannot convert the given sender information into a proper IDOC partner ...
The whole thing works fine when I am passing along
Party = MyPartner, Agency = http://sap.com ..., Scheme = XIParty
then the IDOC is created and send towards SAP ...
I am thinking that the Sender determination in the HTTP adapter goes wrong as the combination
Party = MyPartner, Agency = 016, Scheme = DUNS
is clearly wrong ... Furthermore I have lost my original DUNS number ( so it cannot be used for example in mappings, etc ... )
Anyone had similar issues or problems with this ?
Regards,
Steven

Apply note 954645. This should solve the issue.

The DUNS must be provided in the message payload as well.
Usually the party normalization is done by the adapters in a very specific way. So the RNIF adapter takes the DUNS out of the message payload of the RosettaNet message and does the party normalization with that DUNS.
In the HTTP adapter there is no need for a party normalization as you provide a URL for the HTTP client where you can add the party in the query string.

Issue with calling restful services via HTTP in an Orchestration

The company I work for is using RESTful services for our I/O. We are processing EDI files using Biztalk, and are calling the REST services via HTTP from a c# code called within the orchestration. At lower volumes, the service performs fine, but at higher
transaction volumes, the HTTP calls never return. Is there a resource that needs to be tuned somewhere on the biztalk node to allow higher volumes of HTTP calls? Its not the REST service side - it has no problems handling loads generated by non biztalk nodes.
For further clarification, the EDI message is a multi batched, so there are many simultaneous orchestrations running at once. I have started to look at ways to throttle how many instances can run at once, but I still suspect some resource in the HTTP
sequence that we dont have enough of.
Ideas?

I think you were not enough free threads in the ThreadPool to complete the operation.
So you can work out with Max connection setting in your BTSNTSvc file first
<system.net>
<connectionManagement>
<add address="http://name.of.server.here" maxconnection="1oo" />
</connectionManagement>
</system.net>
and try increasing number of threads allocated to the specific send Host instance and your Orchestration instance ,you can try twinkling Response timeout in minutes as well on host instance

HTTP Adapter and Message confirm

Hi Experts,
I don't understand an aspect of communication with SAP PI.
I have a External System that comunicates with SAP ECC via SAP PI HTTP Adapter.
When SAP ECC sends an MATMAS message to External System like payload of HTTP message, How Does External System confirm MATMAS is recived?
In R/3 System there are methods to commit, roll back transaction, there's a similar mechanism with HTTP Adapter?
thanks.
Marco Genova

hi,
>>How Does External System confirm MATMAS is recived?
it does not - http adapter does no support acknowledgments
the only way would be to receive a message back from http to PI
with some status info and for example on the basis of that
change the status of the outbound matmas idoc to - received successfully
but there is no confirmation with HTTP adapter that the message was received

How to set the HTTP headers in HTTP Binding to call RESTful service

I'm calling a RESTful service from the SOA Composite through a BPEL process. The RESTful service need few values to be set in the HTTP header to authorize the request. I tried several different options like setting the headers in the invoke service etc., but in vain. Apparently, the web service call fails for not having header information.
I have burnt several days on this. Can somebody help me to get through this please?
I'm using SOA composite 11.1.1.4 on WLS 10.3.4.
Thanks in advance.

Now i want to call this service for login functionality.
http://192.168.1.119:8086/Test/services/auth?uname=:uname&pass=:pass
here :uname &:pass values are argument values for the uname & pass.
the output of the service is
http://192.168.1.119:8086/Test/services/auth?uname=sravanya.k&pass=sravanya

use GET method only.
