Http-adapter: Convert html-post to JAVA-post?

Hello everybody,
unfortunately I am not a java programmer. But I am testing the http adapter.
Is it possible to convert the following html-post into JAVA code?
<html><head>
<body>
<form action="http://myserver" method="post">
<p>Interface Namespace<br>
<input name="namespace" value="http://mum.mappings" size="40"></p>
<p>(Sender-) Service:<br>
<input name="service" value="MUMHTTP" size="40"></p>
<p>Interface Name:<br>
<input name="interface" value="MI_Merge_1" size="40"></p>
<p>Text:<br>
<textarea name="Text" rows="5" cols="50"></textarea></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Send"></p>
</form>
</form>
</body>
</head>
</html>
For me it is important to send the values of the <input> values.
How has the code look like?
Many regards, mario

Hi Mario,
I Have once used this code snippet to send a payload to XI engine. Please change the parameters like XI server URL,
Namespace,senderservice etc..
Please let me know if you need any further help.

mario,
this is possible if you use something like HttpClient
check
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/
for more details.
here are few examples of using httpclient for posting data

HTTP ADAPTER Get or Post XI

Hi, anyone knows how can i get or post a file with http adapter in XI, in a simple view you can't do it directly in the configuration in the communication channel, but i think it has to be a way to do that, at least Business connector have this hability, and this is an older tool of SAP.
I hope anyone can help me.
Regards
Marco Salazar

Hi all, thanks, for the answers, but the issue is not about the client, i need to know, how can i put or get a file from url directory, and processing in PI, then deliver to other system.

Converting html forms to java

having viewed an earlier post in this forum i managed to create the following code but am having a few problems.
here are the active parts of the html form on googles search, engine. i am trying to convert this into java form and have so far succeeeded in generating the code shown below, but keep getting the following error
"IOException; Server returned HTTP response code: 501 for URL: http://www.google.co.uk/search"

            ioe.printStackTrace();
        }i also tried self adding in the question mark that appears after the search text bu again get the same error. any ideas what im doing wrong when connecting to the server? thanks in advance for any help

Just saw this topic on the forum,
For each web crawlers the web sites maintain a file called Robots.txt which can be assessed by : http://www.google.co.uk/robots.txt
You would see following on that file :
User-agent: *
Allow: /searchhistory/
Disallow: /search
Disallow: /groups
which means that crawlers are not allowed to scrap this site on search, due to which our code wasnt working
Thanks

HTTP adapter as receiver to POST name-value pairs - How to?

Hi,
Scenario: HTTP Sender <> XI <> HTTP receiver (Sync throughout; no BPM)
In this scenario, a HTTP channel is configured to the target URL to post data.
The message mapping results in a XML. HTTP posts the same XML to the target URL.
However,the target URL expects data Posted as name-value pairs.
eg. eid=45678&zip=11011&ename=Tom%20Lee
How can we configure HTTP adapter channel to post XML data as
name-value pairs (as in standard HTTP Form Post)?
Any pointers?
thanx,
Pops

Hi Udo,
I currently have a solution (simpler than having a BP), but do not expect it to be the right way of doing.
I am using Java Mapping to convert the XML structure into Name-Value pair. So the output of Mapping is a string like how HTTP post is expected. So the interface mapping having multiple mappings - firstly, the original Message mapping, and then the Java mapping to do the conversion. So, with a small extension, the solution is still kept simple.
However, I thought the POST requirement to HTTP URLs would be a common requirement, and expected the HTTP adapter doing this conversion. So, I am still looking for a straight solution (without any custom extensions).
Any one else faced this situation?
Can't this be handled by HTTP Adapter?

Content type in HTTP adapter

Hi experts,
is content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded is supported in XI reciever HTTP adapter when we post some raw data ( without XML tags)? we are testing the same with fiddler ( Mozilla poster).
Please advise.
Thanks

Hi steve,
Thanks for the reply, but the solution is not there.
anyone has configured the same, then please help.
Thanks.

Accessing Java webservice (XML over http) via WCF or HTTP adapter with content-type and authorization HTTP headers with POST method

Hi Team,
I need to access Java web service which is simple service and accepts and returns XML over HTTP. No credentials are needed to access the service. We need to pass following two HTTP headers (Content-Type and Authorization) along with XML request message:
<GetStatus> message is being constructed in the orchestration and URI is constant to access.
Which adapter shall I use to get the response back? I tried using WCF-WSHttp with Security Mode = Transport, and different options of client credential types but every time, error returned stating:
System.Net.WebException:
The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Basic'. The
authentication header received from the server was 'Basic realm='.
Authentication failed for principal Basic. Message payload is of type:
String
In Fiddler, request looks line following
POST <https://URL/GetServiceReopnse HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml
Authorization: Basic cmVmU3RhdHN2Y19kgeRfsdfs=
Host: <Server name>
<GetStatus XMLNS="http://server.com/.....">
<OrgId>232323</OrgId>
<HubId>3232342323</HubId>
</GetStatus>
MMK-007

First, you should not use the HTTP Adapter because it's been deprecated and replaced by WCF.
Start with the WCF-Custom Adapter and select the customBinding.
You should start with the textMessageEncoder and httpTransport and go from there.

HTTP adapter post prolog question.

Hi all,
I have a scenario where I need to send an XML message through the HTTP adapter (no SOAP) to an external service. THE HTTP Service requires a user password as parameters to be passed in order to process the message. Since HTTP adapters is doing only POST I used the prolog in order to pass these parameters (&user=xxx&password=XXXX) but i get a 401 error. In order to test I created a static HTML form with hidden inputs the user and password variable and did a POST (using iexplorer) and it worked!!! Am I doing something wrong?? Isn't the prolog filed in the adapter suppose to do the same ?? i.e. post two variable user, and password??? How does the prolog field worked? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply,
actually the problem was on the Content-Type. The default text/xml was the problem since the application was expecting a application/www-form-ulencode (or something like this, i don't remeber). Now it works!!!

Want to send information in Header dynamically using HTTP adapter using post method

Hi ,
I have a requirement to send below information in http Adapter header dynamically using post method. which will be authenticated by third party system.
Authorization : WSSE realm="SDP", profile="UsernameToken", type="AppKey" X-WSSE : UsernameToken Username="XXXX", PasswordDigest="Qd0QnQn0eaAHpOiuk/0QhV+Bzdc=", Nonce="eUZZZXpSczFycXJCNVhCWU1mS3ZScldOYg==", Created="2013-09-05T02:12:21Z"
I have followed below link to create UDF
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3241568
As if now my third party system is not available while sending request I am getting 504 gateway error. is there any approach I can validate my request is working fine?
Regards,

Hi Abhay,
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think WSSE requires a SOAP Envelope. If that is the case, there are two approaches: the first one is to use SOAP Axis and the second one is just to build SOAP Envelope via Java mapping.
You also need to test it successfully externally, capture the request and replicate it in XI.
Hope this helps,
Mark

XI http-adapter; http-post test tool?

Hi All
We have following scenario: system A sends data to R/3 through XI, XI's inbound adapter is type http (Syst A -> XI 3.0 -> R/3).
Now we need to test the XI's inbound http-adpater.
Does anyone have some experience with a tool that can send xml-document to XI using http-post or HTML code for this?
Many Thanks,
Sami

Hi Sami,
Make sure you have activated the plain http adapter.
1.Edit the HTML code below to change the Hostnames (Radio buttons)/Port numbers to suit your needs.
2.On selection of radio button you will get the hostname and portnumber populated automatically.
3.supply the values for sender business system, sender interface and sender namespace and QoS.
4.Copy and paste the XML in the text area.(make sure you delete the detault tab spaces in the text area) or you can select the file from the file system.
5.Click Send XML button

Convert XML payload to HTML form data in Receiver HTTP Adapter

Hi,
I want to make a HTTP request ( Receiver HTTP Adapter ) to a servlet where I need to send the payload in HTML form format ( name=value ). As per the help document:
A typical HTML form comprises named fields. When transferring a completed form to the server or a CGI program, the data must be transferred in such a way that the CGI script can recognize the fields that make up the form, and which data was entered in which field.
The plain HTTP adapter constructs this format using a prolog and an epilog
Has anyone done this before? I looked through all help documents and forums but in vain. I can resort to Java Mapping to do this but I do not want to re-invent the wheel if I can do it easily using HTTP Adapter Configuration. Please help.

The parameters available in HTTP adapter for message header are:
HeaderFieldFive     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP
HeaderFieldFour     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP
HeaderFieldOne     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP
HeaderFieldSix     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP
HeaderFieldThree     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP
HeaderFieldTwo     http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP

HTTP Post in HTTP adapter

Hi,
We are developing one interface in which sender Torex system sends message in "HTTP Post" format.
In this sender application wants the url in following format.
http://server:port/sap/xi/adapter_plain?service=<xxx>&namespace=<xxx>&interface=<xxx>&sap-user=<xxx>&sap-password=<xxx>&qos=BE&ProductID=000000000000000216&uid=500014&deviceID=0725&StoreID=0004
In above "HTTP Post" format data has been sent in url without body of message.
I know the option in below blog.
https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/13639
But is there any other solution for this?
xml payload for above message is as below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:interface xmlns:ns0="namespace">
   <ProductID>000000000000000216</ProductID>
   <UID/>
   <DeviceID/>
   <StoreID>0004</StoreID>
</ns0:ExternalStockLocator_Retail_REQ>
Thanks

Hello,
http://server:port/sap/xi/adapter_plain?service=<xxx>&namespace=<xxx>&interface=<xxx>&sap-user=<xxx>&sap-password=<xxx>&qos=BE&ProductID=000000000000000216&uid=500014&deviceID=0725&StoreID=0004
In above "HTTP Post" format data has been sent in url without body of message.
Please remember that when creating a sender/receiver using the Plain HTTP Adapter, the following are automatically filled out
Transport Protocol: HTTP 1.0, Message Protocol: XI Payload in HTTP Body. The transport protocol means that only HTTP 1.0 is supported and that for it to work, an HTTP Body is required.
Hope this helps,

How to config receiver http adapter for HTTP POST without XML tags ??

Hi All,
Can you please provide some infornation on How to config receiver http adapter for HTTP POST (Request) without XML tags ?? Our receiving product doesn't support XML formats.
Is there any option to bypass server authentication on the XI?
If anybody has the same experience or know how to please provide inputs.
Thanx
Navin

Hi,
you can use xsl mapping for this in which u xtract
the contents only but not the xml tag.

Hi Srinivas,
I have the same issue with Form submit using Java HTTP adapter.
It would be great if you can share your java mapping code or advise what should be the outcome of java mapping?
Should the result of java mapping be some kind of XML payload or some html code ?
Many Thanks,
Kind Regards

HTTPS using a Multipart Post

I have been given a new requirement to send a zipped file(s) to a client using HTTPS using a Multipart Post.
I have found an example...
DECLARE
req   utl_http.req;
resp utl_http.resp;
value VARCHAR2(1024);
BEGIN
req := utl_http.begin_request('http://www.psoug.org');
resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
LOOP
    utl_http.read_line(resp, value, TRUE);
    dbms_output.put_line(value);
END LOOP;
utl_http.end_response(resp);
EXCEPTION
WHEN utl_http.end_of_body THEN
    utl_http.end_response(resp);
END;Which obviously returns and displays the HTML content of the URL, however we need to post zipped files in the content. We have been told by someone at Oracle that we can use the UTL_HTTP package to do this but when i search for this all i find is Java.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to start and any code examples would be a great help, i tried posting this in the SQL / PLSQL forum but with no success..
Thanks in advance
Graham.

Hi:
This is tricky one and I have to say that there is not a lot around about it.
The example you have shown is for UTL_HTTP and while you are on the right track, you want HTTPS and that requires, in addition to what you, the use of the Oracle Wallet. The wallet has to be setup on your machine and referenced in your code. Additionally, you need to be quite clear about the data that is being expected by the remote system to which you are sending the POST request.
Here is a code example that I have tried to explain a bit for you. Obviously my code is doing something quite different from what you require but the methodology will be similar:
+++++++++++++++++++++++
create or replace
PROCEDURE ABS_MSG_API
(cab IN VARCHAR2,
booking_ref IN NUMBER)
AS
l_cab VARCHAR2(10);
l_booking_ref NUMBER;
l_uuid VARCHAR2(50);
l_answer integer;
req utl_http.req;
resp utl_http.resp;
value clob;
listing VARCHAR2(400);
BEGIN
l_cab := cab;
l_booking_ref := booking_ref;
listing := 'https://........<site address>;
/* next you must identify the location of your wallet */
utl_http.set_wallet('file:C:\Documents and Settings\administrator\ORACLE\WALLETS','redy2go4it');
utl_http.set_transfer_timeout(60);
dbms_output.put_line(listing);

When you submit a POST, all of the parameters are passed as part of the header. You must determine exactly the information being expected by the remote system.
You can find further information is you search for HTTPS on Ask Tom. There is some useful stuff there.
I use UTL_HTTP for HTTPS requrests all the time. As I said, it is a bit tricky at first, but the key is the Oracle Wallet and then reading the UTL_HTTP documentation that comes on your DB media disc under PLSQL Packaged Procedures.
I hope this helps.
