HTTPS web service connection errors

We have a Java web application that accesses a Web Service using https. Last week the hosts of the web service installed a new signed SSL certificate. As soon as they installed the new certificate, our Java web app stopped working. When we try and access the web service via the web app we get the following error:
2008-05-16 20:20:07,226 ERROR [org.codehaus.xfire.transport.http.HttpChannel] - javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
2008-05-16 20:20:07,237 ERROR [grantee.GranteeServlet] - Could not invoke service.. Nested exception is org.codehaus.xfire.fault.XFireFault: Couldn't send message.
The Operating System is Solaris, The Web application server is Tomcat 5.5, and the JDK java version is "1.5.0_05".
The confusing part is that we can test the web service using SOAP UI. We can access the webservice that way. So the web service seems to be working correctly, but our Web Application can't seem to connect to it.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, and let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi Aaron,
You may want to try formatting the cell of "ModifiedOn" to a TEXT format instead of date to get yyyy/mm/dd formatting to appear.
It seems that Xcelsius automatically converts any type of date-specific formatting (as specified from Excel) to a date serial, which is what you are seeing here.
Hope that works.

BODS SOAP Web Service Connection error RUN-248005

Hi Experts,
I need help connecting SOAP web service to BODS. We have configured the initial set up by importing the functions from the WSDL that was provided to us. The WSDL provided us with a request and reply schema as follows:
We then created the data service job that would consume the function call. An overview of the dataflow is as follows:
When we run the job with null values for the source table the job returns no errors, but returns no data either into the destination table (Which we think is to be expected because we have no parameters to search on). If we add a value to the source table that is a required field for WSDL GET function (sys_ID) the job runs, but produces the error shown below:
We configured the data flow by using a reference document that can be found at this link: http://www.dwbiconcepts.com/etl/23-etl-bods/158-web-service-call-in-sap-data-services.html.
Any help in regards to why we are getting a “No response to web service error” would be much appreciated! Also, if further detail is needed please feel free to ask.

Yes we did make progress. Follow the steps listed below.
Pre-Configuration
A WSDL for BODS can be provided from your vendor (Amazon or Twitter) or created in-house. In my tutorial I will be using ServiceNow. ServiceNow is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) provider of IT service management (ITSM) software.
The WSDL provided should look like this:
           https://<instance>.service-now.com/incident.do?WSDL
To verify that the WSDL works you can open it in a browser to see the xml schema. Since the WSDL is HTTPS the browser will prompt you to enter credentials in order to view it. The username and password will need to be provided to you from vendor you are trying to connect to.
BODS requires that any web service connection that is https to have a certificate saved to its internal configuration on the job server where the application resides. The certificate is referenced when the call goes out to verify authentication.
You can get the server certificate from the vendor who is providing the web service or you can also download the certificate from the browser and save it in base64 binary encoded format to a file and use that. In my example I will be using Firefox to export.
if you have fire fox, then on the left side before the URL Address bar there will be a lock icon, click on view certificate, select the details tab, select the *.service- now.com and click on export, in the dialog box, select the Save as type X.509 Certificate (PEM), you can save this with any name on your machine.
Now go to the JobServer machine, go to %LINK_DIR%\ext\ folder, open axis2.xml in notepad,
since it's https uncomment the following tag (transportReceiver)

it should look line something below
<transportReceiver name="https" class="axis2_http_receiver">
<parameter name="port" locked="false">6060</parameter>
<parameter name="exposeHeaders" locked="true">false</parameter>
</transportReceiver>
uncomment the following tag (transportSender) and comment out the parameter KEY_FILE and SSL_PASSPHRASE, enter the complete location of the certificate that you saved from the browser in the SERVER_CERT parameter. you can save the certificate also in this folder

this should look like
<transportSender name="https" class="axis2_http_sender">
<parameter name="PROTOCOL" locked="false">HTTP/1.1</parameter>
<parameter name="xml-declaration" insert="false"/>
</transportSender>
<parameter name="SERVER_CERT">enter the certificate path</parameter>


save this file and open this file is browser to make sure that the XML is valid

Cannot enable HP Web Services: "Connection error. Check Internet connection."

Hello,
I have a problem with LaserJet setup using Wi-Fi network from windows 7 and 8. The problem as far as I understand is due to inaccessible HP Web Services.
Details:
1, The printer works good by USB.
2. The printer is correctly configured to use Wi-Fi router with right password.
3. It can be successfully ping'ed from Windows
4. In Web browser I can enter on printer's IP
(Serial Numbers are hidden as you recommend, firmware updated)
4. But when I try to Enable HP Web Services, an error message appears:
which is strange, because the printer is connected to the same router as the computers and other devices with automatic configuration (and internet is available without any proxy when I am typing this message):
Please help to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Fedor

Thanks for clarifying Fedor,
HP Web Services are not related to the pritner installation over the local network, those are two different features.
However that may indicate a nework issue.
First try running the HP Print & Scan Doctor below on one of your PCs:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&jumpid=ex_r4155/hho/ipg/ccdoc/p...
Does the tool can see your printer throught eh local network?
By clicking the top Network menu and Troubleshoot Firewall, what Firewall software is detected on your system?
Try disabling it and check if that may help.
From teh top Network menu select Show Advanced Information.
What is the IP address of your PC?
I also suggest rebooting the router by unplugging its power for a moment, then reboot the printer and try installing it again.
If the issue persists, what is your router model?
May you see any difference by connecting the printer to your router with an Ethernet cable?
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.
If my post resolve your problem please mark it as an Accepted Solution

Error during connection to https web-service via proxy-server

Although if i switch off proxy server everything works perfect (both HTTP and HTTPS web-services).
What could be the problem with?

Hi Kenneth,
At the moment, SALT does not support the configuring of an outbound proxy server. I suspect you could use a transparent proxy server, i.e., a proxy server/router combination that proxies outgoing requests, although this isn't something we have tested. My suggestion would be to open a support case and ask for this enhancement. I think it is a reasonable thing for SALT to support.

Connection Reset while making http web service call to remote server

Hello guys,
Our environment details are as follows:
WebLogic version: 10.3.3
Cluster: yes
Database: Oracle
Web service server: Remote application
When our WebLogic server makes a http Web service call to another remote application which runs on IIS server for creating a record. The record gets created in remote application but WebLogic server log says java.net.SocketException: Connection reset and the same record doesn't get created in WebLogic application. We have confirmed that remote application is running and it is behaving as expected. Also, we installed web service client on our WebLogic machine just to isolate any network related issues, when we make a same request through this client it works fine and we get answer. At this point in time, it looks like it could be WebLogic or application which is behaving goofy. we are running out of ideas, it would be nice if someone have any thoughts on it like turning on any flags or any other troubleshooting steps. Please, let me know.

Here's what the issue was for us:
When the web service was initializing, Weblogic? was trying to retrieve the WSDL first before initializing the service.
Though the web service URL was proper, the WSDL itself was unresolvable. This led to this strange connection reset error.
So, if you're experiencing this consistently, check your WSDL URL.
We used "strace" to discover this problem by running it for a brief time while the web service initialization was attempted - and it very clearly showed that the code was attempting to laod something from a bogus address / IP

When the Web Service did not require authentication to work without problem, the error arises when you need to login and use the "ADF Web Services Connection", is there some other way to log in using the Web Service proxy client directly?
Any help is welcome.

"Unable to log URL" error when importing WSDL into Web Service connection

Hello Experts
I'm using Xcelsius Engage and I'd like to use Web Service connection.
I've developed my own Web service (that is using 2 other web service inside it).
and now I'm trying to import it into the Xcelsius (connection --> Web service connection).
And I get the follwoing error:
"Unable to log URL"
When I browse to my wsdl file in IE the file is loaded with no problem.
When trying to import other URLs it also works fine (for example: http://www.xignite.com/xFinancials.asmx?wsdl)
Any idea?
Thanks,
Miki

Hi Matt
Thanks a lot!!!
Indeed the solution was in the follwoing thread:
VB.net code to create XML
Parsing the query result fixed the problem.
For others who might have the same problem:
Here's a working web service (C# code, for vb code follow the link to the thread above):
public Service () {
    public struct QueryResult
      public string SlpName;
      public string Commission;
    [WebMethod]
public QueryResult[] RunQuery()
      // Open Connection - Query Data from DB table - Close connection
      SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=SBODemoUS");
      SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(
        "SELECT SlpName, Commission FROM OSLP", connection);
      DataTable DT_QryResult = new DataTable();
      adapter.Fill(DT_QryResult);
      connection.Close();
      // Parse data to be forward to Xcelsius
      QueryResult[] QryRes = null;
      QryRes = new QueryResult[DT_QryResult.Rows.Count];
      int i=0;
      foreach (DataRow row in DT_QryResult.Rows)
        QryRes<i>.SlpName = row["SlpName"].ToString();
        QryRes<i>.Commission = row["commission"].ToString();
        i++;
      return QryRes;

Error with web services connection to B1 DI API

We are attempting to utilize the web services connection to SAP Business One and are running into difficulty. Below are the particulars:
-   We are attempting to make a web services connection to B1 using PHP on Linux.
-   We are able to establish a session, but not able to make a successful web services request.
-   The attempted action is to add a Business Partner
-   Error we are receiving:
SoapFault exception: Not Found in /var/www/test.php:83 Stack trace: #0 : SoapClient->__doRequest('__call('Add', Array) #2 /var/www/test.php(83): SoapClient->Add(Array) #3
-         We are also able make a successful web services request to the same B1 server using ASP from Windows.
-         Once we establish a session through PHP / Linux, the DI Server will not respond to either PHP or ASP on Windows
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Russell,
Since you are getting a "SoapFault Exception", you must be trying to use SOAP messaging. The DI API does not understand SOAP messages. You would need to use the DI Server (SDK Help has information on DI Server) for SOAP based messaging and in turn you may also want to look at the Business One Web Services (B1WS) tool that s located in the Tools section of the SAP Business One main page here on SDN.
HTH,

New to Web Services - need to call a HTTPS web service from PL/SQL

I am new to Web Services and need to call HTTPS web service from PL/SQL program. I am using 10g Database.
I have been reading there are 2 options -
1. UTL_HTTP - with this package its possible to call HTTPS web services
2. UTL_DBWS
Questions -
1. Is it possible to call a HTTPS web service using UTL_DBWS ? I have not been able to find any information on it.
2. Can someone point me to UTL_HTTP and UTL_DBWS examples calling a HTTPS web service ?
3. The HTTPS web service that I need to call needs username/password to connect - how will I incorporate this in the pl/sql code ?
Appreciate the help.
Cheers,

Hi,
1. UTL_DBWS not work for https from what I understand
2. Here is a sample example:

Be careful, you must change http/1.0 IN 1.1 inside package SOAP_API.
Here is an example for a prime number where the SOAP message is already construct:

Otherwice for testing url, i recommand you to use that function: Re: Error using UTL_HTTP over HTTPS
it's a verry helpful function when you have an error.
wrote:
When testing using UTL_HTTP, you MUST ensure that you open a new session after importing the SSL certificates into your Wallet,
as I've learned (the hard way) that existing sessions point to the wallet contents that were present when the session was opened.
If you don't realise/know this, it can cause a lot of additional frustration during testing, when you keep getting the ORA-29024 exception AFTER
you've imported the SSL certificates................. ;) 3. i think you can use that after the begin_request but not sure :
UTL_HTTP.set_authentication(r => http_req,
username => ,
password => ,
scheme => ,
for_proxy => );

HTTPS Web Service datastore : does not work in case of proxy

Data Services 12.2 on Windows XP SP2
I've set up a datastore, type "web service", url is https://.... (an external web service, outside of our company)
I'm able to import the functions of this web service into the datastore.
In a DF, in a query transform, I call one these functions.
The job fails with this error message :
There is no response for the web service <searchCertificate>. Ensure that the network, web server, and service are running properly. Also ensure that the service client call time out is set properly.
I'm sure the web service is active. I have to pass a proxy.
When I do not have to pass a proxy (when I execute this job on my laptop not connected to the office network) the job runs fine !
How can you configure the axis2.xml so that https can run with a proxy ? (no problem to do this for http web services, but I do not see a solution for https web services !)
Thanks !!

Hi Sukarna,
the connection is not the problem.
Actually I've tested the scenario of abap proxy --> PI -->abap proxy for the same interface, it works fine. Only when I try ws instead of proxy, I got this error. Since proxy scenario works fine, the connection should not be issue.
any more clues?
Thanks

Web Service Connection in Xcelsius 2008

I have recently upgraded from 4.5 to Xcelsius 2008 and am having trouble getting the Web Service Connections set up correctly for my QaaWS.
I have 7 LiveOffice connections in a model that seem to all refresh on load fine and i have already set up a Web Service Connection that picks up the drill through path of what the user has clicked on and used them as input parameters to a QaaWS query.
I now need to add another Web Service Connection for another QaaWS and i get the following error message;
"Unable to Load URL"
I have checked the available QaaWS services using dswsbobje/qaawsservices and the 2 queries appear as i would expect.
I have checked the dsws.properties file and the user name and password are correct (which i would expect as teh 1st connections works in the Xcelsius model.
I have restarted the Tomcat server and CMS and this does not cure the problem.
I have even tried re-installing QaaWS.
I have installed SP1 fix 1 for 2008. I am currently using XIR2 SP2.
Can anyone help as sometimes this functionality works and sometimes it does not. The 2 queries i want to use point aty teh ssame database and BO Universe.

Hi Anthony,
You might check that type of the licence type of the user QaaWSPrincipal. I had a problem where the QaaWSPrincipal user was Concurrent Access License while my server was Named User only. Switching to Named User resolved the problem.
However, I am not sure that this is your issue as the you have one QaaWAS url working. YOu might want to check your URL is available
try
http://<name of server>:<Tomcat port number>/dswsbobje/qaawsservices
This contains a list of all URLs. Finally, you might look at importing the wsdl into other applications to see if the issue is Xcelsius or QaaWS related. You can copy to MS Office InfoPath with steps described below.

SSIS Web Service Task Error with WCF Service

I have read all the other posts on this site and have not been able to resolve my issue.
For testing purposes i created a very simple WCF service that takes no arguments and returns true. That is all it does.
When i create a winform client and instantiate the service i can run my service method and get true back so i know the service works.
I then create a test SSIS package with 1 task, a web service task.
I set the web service tasks properties as follows:
http connection: http://localhost/WCF_SSIS_Prototype/Service1.svc
wsdl file: C:\...\SSIS_WCF_Prototype\Service1.wsdl (I know this is not a valid path, i changed it for posting to forum)
Service: Service1
Method: GetData
Variable: User::BResult
When i run the package i get the following error:
[Web Service Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: Could not execute the Web method. The error is: Method 'ProxyNamespace.Service1.GetData' not found..    at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebMethodInvokerProxy.InvokeMethod(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection)    at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTaskUtil.Invoke(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection)    at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTask.executeThread()".
I'm not sure why it is saying "Method 'ProxyNamespace.Service1.GetData' not found. It the web service task trying to create a proxy class and naming the proxy class namespace ProxyNamespace?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
How do you get around the same issue if your string type is based on a client token ? I downloaded the .wsdl file, was able to see the service name, method and when selecting a method type, I am required to provide a client token which was given
to me. (Name column = clienttoken, Type = string, Value = 2227656 - ec8922 (client token numbers goes there)? I am new to use ssis and need your help please
error message: Web Service Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message:

Using Encrypted Web Service connections within Xcelsius 2008 SP1 - FP3

Hi all,
I'm running the latest version of Xcelsius Server 2008 and have setup a simplistic dashboard that uses 4 web service connections to dynamically call queries within a SQL Server 2008 database. The dashboard has been exported to html and I can serve this to the WWW.
I have since created a new https website (using a self signed certificate) and can now serve my Xcelsius dashboard via https. My problem is that I have had to run my old website in parallel (as it serves the said non-encrypted web service) which is linked within the swf source (that is running on the new https enabled website).
Upon trying to alter my existing xlf file so that it references the encrypted web service URL (which works fine via the browser) it prompts me to accept the self signed certificate. Once I click yes, and then add the certificate to the certificate store the whole thing locks up and I am forced to close Xcelsius.
Am I right in thinking that Xcelsius will not accept self signed certificates or encrypted web services at all? For me this is big security concern because if I want to share my dashboard via the WWW I have to accept the fact that I need to run an unsecure web service.
Is this something that is only supported in Xcelsius Enterprise?
TIA

Hello Paul,
Sorry not to have replied to this sooner.
We have had experience of hosting Xcelsius Dashboards using Https: for one of our clients here at Flynet.
We noticed a number of issues , we did have problems relating to the Firewall on our Gateway server for example. We also had issues with the number of active connections processed when the dashboard is running. I think the default for Https: is 2 , so the connections can be queued up. Have you retried with one connection open. The Dashboard we did however did have up to 12 connections, so Xcelsius can handle multiple connections.
When developing the Dashboards using Xcelsius I did have to import using the Web Service URL of the remote server which was Https: However due to issues sometimes with our Gateway Firewall and the way our Local Network had to access the https: URL , what I tended to do was develop using a localhost Web service and then switch the URL to use the https: Web Service once the dashboard was exported to the server it was to be hosted on.
What we did notice for example is that we could have a dashboard running locally quite happily using the https: web services which are actually on [http://www.flynetviewer.com] then we would start getting #2 type flash errors. To solve this we had to restart our Windows Firewall on our gateway server. We could run the dashboard fine if run from our web site.
I am not sure if the issues you have are related to this. I have had problems when I had to import the https: web service URL on my local machine , I am prompted for the Username password for the Https: location , but when trying to import Xcelsius has a problem and exits. Due to these problems I tended to use a local Web service when developing. I know this isn't always practical.
I was running on Vista 64 bit , but I also have XP and Server 2003 running on Virtual machines.
I will be happy to share information my experiences with you.
Best Regards,
Ian Learmonth

Updated to add: I have just successfully imported an https: Web service. Mapped it to the dashboard , run it and invoked sucessfully. This was on Windows XP professional SP2.
I did the same thing on Windows Vista 64 bit and had an issue. So not sure what operating system you are using or whether it's a Certificate thing. I can try and find out a bit more on our Certificate if you need to find out what the issue is.
The Vista issue seems to have been resolved by running Xcelsius as Administrator.
When successfully importing I was prompted for the Username and Password for the URL but not the Certificate.

Invalid Web Service URL Error

I am trying to access define a new webservice system using the WSDL for my local queryview web service. When I put in the WSDL URL it comes back with a "Invalid Web Service URL" error. If I put the URL in the Browser address, it successfully brings back the web service information. Any ideas why I can't define this web service system?
http://<server>:8001/sap/bw/xml/soap/queryview?sap-client=040&wsdl=1.1
<server> is a token for posting concerns...
Thanks!

I am imagining that the BW QUERY_VIEW_DATA web service complies to the Basic Profile 1.0.
And I don't quite understand this part?
<i>In addition, connections to Web services for SAP backend systems must be performed via logical destinations (configured in the SAP J2EE engine with the Visual Administrator) and not via portal systems</i>
Since the QUERY_VIEW_DATA Web Service resides on my BW system is the BW system considered a SAP backend system? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Trying to access https web service

Hello: I'm on 4.1.1. I created web service referece for wsdl for http and it worked fine (http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?wsdl). Now I'm trying to connect to wsdl using https (https://stage.e-verify.uscis.gov/WebService/EmployerWebServiceV23.asmx?wsdl). I went into owm (oracle wallet manager) to create a wallet. I have pointed the apex instance to that wallet. I have completed the wizard to create a report and form on a web service but it is not working.
I hit the test connection, but get no response. I used to get an ACL/Wallet error before setting up the wallet and pointing to it. After setting up the wallet I no longer get that error, but no response either. I then did the Import Trusted Certificate in owm to pull in a PKCS #7 file I grabbed from the https website. But I still get no response. I can try importing the BASE64 certificate, but don't expect it to help.
One thing I notice is that the Username and Password entered when testing the web service reference does not appear in the request. I expect to get a response even if the Username and Password are wrong, but I don't, and they are not even in the request that I can see.
Are there any examples for setting up an https connection using wsdl with apex and wallet?
Thanks, Hawk

At first I couldn't believe it would require going to the trouble of installing certificates just to access https web services. A Google search about APEX and SSL web services seemed to confirm it, but apparently that was all just a red herring.
There's one other thing I should mention in case it helps. APEX support for WSDL, even on 4.1, is still a little rudimentary. I've had problems with it on a few .NET generated web services in the past. Machine generated WSDL based on insanely whacky objects built by OOPtards is just too complex for the APEX WSDL interpreter. I'm just imaging the APEX WSDL component being hand forged in a musty corner of a cube farm somewhere and this large sweaty hammer wielding PL/SQL code cutter with his furnace and anvil beating out something to do the job.
If you're feeling brave, reach for your biggest code hammer. There's one more painful option that will certainly do the job. Process the WSDL locally on your desktop and generate your own SOAP envelopes based on that (SoapUI is a good tool for this). Then create a custom pl/sql package to send your web service request along with the envelope substituting any parameters you might need as the request and do what you need with the response. Just beware, here be a dragon convention.
