HTTP POST Is VPN required?

Hi experts!!
I am trying to post some parameters to a url (an external website).
I am getting a response 404-Not found. I have checked with the developers of the website and they are asking me if a VPN is set up between SAP server and their server.
Is VPN required for HTTP Post???
Please guide me!
Thank you!!

Hi, thanks for your reply i knew the FileUplaod was the way forward.
I read topics advising to use the FileUpload and tried the following but it did not seem to work ( i get an HTTP Internal Server error when i try that):
try
DiskFileUpload upload = new DiskFileUpload();
boolean isMultipart = FileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
if( isMultipart )
List items = upload.parseRequest( request );
Iterator iter = items.iterator();
while( iter.hasNext() )
FileItem fileItem = ( FileItem ) iter.next();
File uploadedFile = new File("myreceivedfile.zip");
fileItem.write( uploadedFile );
}catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("RECEIVER: " + e.getMessage());
Also DiskFileUpload,isMultipartContent and parseRequest have a line going through the middle (horizontal middle).

SOAP over HTTP/POST

Hi everyone,
I'd be eternally grateful if someone could provide me with a quick + easy solution to the following (basic?) task.
I have a user form with the required parameters and a submit button. I have an XML schema which specifies the format for the soap requests and responses. How do I accept user input, wrap it into a soap request, send it via HTTP/POST to a server ( http://localhost:9999/xyz/xyz), wait for a soap response and display the response in a readable format to the user when they press the submit button? Not that hard is it?!
Please try to be a specific as possible because I'm no Java expert. I'm just so confused with all the tutorials about wsdl, bpel, tomcat, jax ws, glassfish etc etc etc!
I use netbeans and java app server 9, though I'm open to other IDEs/servers.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Ruth

How to call HTTP Post Method URL in SOA 10g

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to call a HTTP Post Method, I have a URL, if i hit it in the browser, i am getting the response details. I know there is a HTTP Binding Adapter in 11g, but we are on 10g. Can anyone please let me know whether we can do it in 10g and how ?
Thanks Always

You will need to write the WSDL by yourself. Just make sure you have the end point detail, operation name(if required) and the schema available to write the WSDL.

Render html form & send forms's input values as params via HTTP POST

Hello,
I'm using appache commons http client to send HTTP post queries to a given url and receive HTTP response then process it.
one of the requirements of my Application is the following: one of these HTTP Post requests is supposed to return an HTML form with different html types (text filed, text area etc..) that i will need to display in my swing application. one important requirement is that i can't know in advance what the html form field types will be.. it depends on a given parameters that my application send as part of HTTP Post method (using apache http client).
I Longly searched for a simple solution to this problem . There are many solutions but each one has it's limitations :
1-i can render the html form inside a JEditorPane .but how can I collect the user entered data inside JEditorPane ? i'm not sure this swing component offers the capability to detect its html contents and more it will be difficult to know what are the values entered by user inside html form rendered by JEditorPane.
2-are there any Java Embedded browsers that offer some API to enable me detect the html form fields ,capture the data entered by user inside the html form ?
3-the solution i currently opted for is : parse html & convert html form to swing dialog. currently this solution i use works well but the cost of implementing it is high : it involves difficult parsing logic. this makes me worried .I'm not sure if i'm now using the right & easiest solution.
I need some advice on What is the simplest and clean solution to render a html form & yet be able to collect user entered inputs & send the user input values as params via java HTTP POST request ?

dragzul wrote:
In my opinion, your actual solution is what you need to do. You're trying to "merge" two different kinds of view. Actually, the "easiest" way may be: if you have your data to display, you decide to show it on html or swing.Yes i believe that my current solution may be the unique one for my special requirements. when doing research about this problem i found a multitude of java libraries to convert xml to swing (ex: www.swixml.org) .However i was surprised there are no java libraries to convert HTML forms to swing dialogs -as far as i know-. this is a bit strange. The Limitation is that the developers of the server API are not Java guys and are reluctant to use an xml format that i can easily convert to swing . probably they have their own reasons as they might be using the HTML Response for some other server side work. So I was obliged to deal with an HTML stream that i need to display in my client application and process its data. in my opinion the only way to do this is by developing a HTML form to swing converter package. that's what i did now. i was only worried if i'm complicating things and if there are some easier solutions to this issue.
thanks

How to send HTTP POST message using Business Service ?

Hi all,
I need to call a service which accepts HTTP post, how can I achieve this using OSB Business Service ? Kindly post any documentation link related to this.
Thank You
Arun

Basically to to create a business service to send to a HTTP post all you need to do to point the business service to the desired URL.
In the OSB console you can test using the debug option. All you need to do is paste the XML you require and execute.
If this works then you know your business services is sorted. Can you confirm you can complete up to this point?
As Anuj correctly states you need to populate the body variable. This is the fundamental concept of OSB. All service calls request and respond using the body variable. So if you create a proxy service and route to the business service and provide NO routing. The proxy service will pass the input of the Proxy service to the input of the business service as the body has been populated by the Proxy service.
cheers

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,

Manual HTTP POST from ABAP

I'm trying to use a kind of botched web service implementation that doesn't come with a WSDL file - so, no generated proxy for me to use. It also needs me to send an XML file via an HTTP POST - not in a SOAP envelope. This presents a problem for me - understandably, this isn't part of WebAS 6.40's web services stuff.
Does anyone know of a way of manually posting something via HTTP in ABAP? I'm sure there must be some function module or class that exposes that functionality - I just can't find it! Any ideas anyone?

HTTP post data from the Oracle database to another web server

Hi ,
I have searched the forum and the net on this. And yes I have followed the links
http://awads.net/wp/2005/11/30/http-post-from-inside-oracle/
http://manib.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/utl_http/
and Eddie Awad's Blog on the same topic. I was successful in calling the servlet but I keep getting errors.
I am using Oracle 10 g and My servlet is part of a ADF BC JSF application.
My requirement is that I have blob table in another DB and our Oracle Forms application based on another DB has to view the documents . Viewing blobs over dblinks is not possible. So Option 1 is to call a procedure passing the doc_blob_id parameter and call the web server passing the parameters.
The errors I am getting is:
First the parameters passed returned null. and
2. Since my servlet directly downloads the document on the response outputStream, gives this error.
'com.evermind.server.http.HttpIOException: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine'
Any help please. I am running out of time.
Thanks

You can use remote LOBs via a database link. However, you cannot use a local LOB variable (called a LOB <i>locator</i>) to reference a remote LOB. A LOB variable/locator is a pointer - that pointer cannot reference a LOB that resides on a remote server. So simply do not use a LOB variable locally as it cannot reference a remote LOB.
Instead provide a remote interface that can deal with that LOB remotely, dereference that pointer on the remote system, and pass the actual contents being pointed at, to the local database.
The following demonstrates the basic approach. How one designs and implements the actual remote interface, need to be decided taking existing requirements into consideration. I simply used a very basic wrapper function.

SQL> The concern is the size of the LOB. It does not always make sense to access the entire LOB in the database. What if that LOB is a 100GB in size? Irrespective of how you do it, selecting that LOB column from that table will require a 100GB of data to be transferred from the database to your client.
So you need to decide WHY you want the LOB on the client (which will be the local PL/SQL code in case of dealing with a LOB on a remote database)? Do you need the entire LOB? Do you need a specific piece from it? Do you need the database to first parse that LOB into a more structured data struct and then pass specific information from that struct to you? Etc.
The bottom line however is that you can use remote LOBs. Simply that you cannot use a local pointer variable to point and dereference a remote LOB.

Initiating an HTTPS post via Oracle Forms 6i

Greetings all...
Here is my problem. I would love some advise/next steps on solving it.
We are currently using web-version of Forms 6i with the JInitiator 1.1.8.16. I have a new requirement for an existing form where it needs to initiate an HTTPS "post" (not "get") to a remote server and then receive a response of success or not and some other information that the form will then act upon. I believe this means I cannot simply use the "web.show_document" built-in because it uses the "get" method rather than the "post" method.
Although I am a veteran Forms developer, I am new to all this java stuff. It has been recommended to me that I incorportate a JavaBean into the form to call on this remote service, but I have no idea what that means -- I've never opened JDeveloper. It was also mentioned that maybe there is already a JavaBean in existence that I can just use. I don't know what details of my situation would be useful to know to determine if one exists or not. Does this possibly existing JavaBean need to know already which URL I want to go to? Will it need to know the exact parameters I want to pass or could there be a JavaBean out there to simply "call any URL using the post method" regardless of the number of parameters to send it?
I've looked through some of the forum for this question and since I'm clueless on java stuff, I didn't find anything that jumped out as an answer for me. Can someone (or many of you would be fine) clue me on the best approach? Thanx.
Shane.

Since the initial post above, I've discovered more to this situation that doesn't give me much hope of implementation.
The "response" that I get back from the remove service is simply a "redirect" telling the initiating browser to go to a URL that I have to set up. When the response comes back, the remote service will tell the browser to go to this redirected URL with the "responses" as parameters in the URL resulting in the user's browser calling this "redirect" URL with a "get" method.
Not sure what all that means to be honest, but am wanting to learn.

How to Invoke service using HTTP POST in BPEL?

I have a client using .net service with a web page http://.../httpreceive.aspx which is invoke through an http post. How can we post xml message using http post to the url in BPEL. Are there any documentation on doing this? Will this require writing a java class to do an http post the xml message to the url?

Beginner question: support to HTTP POST om Oracle AS

Hi!
I don't know if this is a suitable forum but since i use JDeveloper and Oracle BPEL I'll try my luck here :).
I have a Java web application built in JDeveloper and a couple of BPEL processes.
In these processes I use Java embedding (a piece of Java code) that opens a connection to a given URL and post a XML message to this URL. I didn't have much problems creating these processes.
Now I have to provide a support to HTTP POST on my side. Since web application and services development are quite new to me I hope someone can point me the right way to do this. The requirements I have are: I can have a single URL to which the http POSTs will be issued.
If I understand correctly I cant use a web service since I have to enable different types of XML posts. What are my options? Can I create some kind of listener for http POSTs? Can I create a jspx that will 'wait' for http posts and than call some of mine BPEL processes? Is there a way to create a BPEL process that 'waits' for http POSTs? Are there other options.
I'd really appreciate any pointers on this.
Regards,
BB.

Frank,
I've tried creating a Servlet listener that implements HttpSessionListener interface. Now I have two methods, sessionCreated and sessionDestroyed but I don't know where to go next. I can't find any documentation on this issue yet.
Should I create a jspx page with form node that has method attribute set to POST or maybe I don't even need a web page? I already have a login page that has a form with method set to POSt, will this pose any kind of troubles for me?
I apologize for any stupid questions but as I said I have no experience in doing this and las couple of days I'm searching and reading different documentation on this topic so any more pointers would be appreciated.
