Invoking a Web Service using XI 2.0

Hi all,
I am attempting to create a scenario where an SAP application invokes a web service through XI 2.0.
I have created an ABAP proxy to allow my ABAP to start the call process and have set up the message interfaces within the Integration Directory.
I want XI to receive a call from this proxy and then act as the client to an existing Web Service.. calling it and bringing back a response... but it doesn't look like I can import the existing WSDL as a I would have expected.
So... instead I have exported the Message Interface for the "out of XI" portion of the interface as a WSDL and have asked the Web Service provider to amend their service according to this XI generated WSDL.
My difficulty now is how to use the SOAP adapter. Within the Integration Directory I presumably need to define the endpoint with XI Connectivity but I am not sure how to fill in the URL address of the SOAP adapter...
Any help on how to configure the actual SOAP adapter to fulfill this requirement would be great too.
I have looked around the boards to see if I could work this out from previous posts but without success so far.
It's a synchronous scenario and basically should look like...
ABAP Proxy->XI->SOAP Adapter->Web Service->XI->ABAP Proxy
Many thanks,
Gordon

Hi Gordon,
here is an example for SOAP-Adapter config:
# Bubble adapter java class
classname=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleBubble
# Sets the bubble module helper that can instantiate your bubble bag
Bubble.Helper=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleBubbleHelperXMBWSImpl
###### Part 0 (FromWS and ToWS) : common part ######
# Keeps the XMB headers in web service messages
XMBWS.KeepHeaders=false
# Encodes the xmb headers into a special HTTP header string x-xmb_ws_encoded
XMBWS.UseEncoded=false
# The target URL for the web service, to which the adapter sends web service messages.
# The address is part of the WSDL
XMBWS.TargetURL=http://www.extensio.com:8080/ExtensioInfoServer/servlet/rpcrouter
# Proxy configuration from SAP
XMBWS.proxyHost=PrOxY
XMBWS.proxyPort=8080
# The port and path where the adapter waits for XMB messages from clients.
XMBWS.XMBPort=8400
XMBWS.XMBPath=/soap/stockquote
# The default SOAPAction HTTP request header to the web Service server
# The SoapAction is part of the WSDL
XMBWS.DefaultSOAPAction=
Of course you have to set URL, proxy and SOAP-action to your belongings.
You define the endpoint as:
"http://<Adapter-Server>:<XMBPort><XMBPath>"
in this example:
"http://localhost:8400/soap/stockquote"

How to invoke a web service using https

Hi,
I have a few security related questions surrounding BPEL process manager.
1. Does the BPEL engine have the capability to invoke a web service using https (HTTP over SSL)? Does it automatically do that if partner link URI starts with https:// ?
2. If not, what needs to be done to enable accessing a https based web service?
3. I need to write a web service that accepts a message and updates certain information in the database. The web service will be deployed in an OC4J instance in Oracle App Server. We want to allow the web service to be accessed from BPEL only by users registered in the database. What is the recommended way to pass username and password to a webservice if service is invoked from BPEL process manager? Note that specifying username/password in bpel.xml is not an option.
Thanks,
Pranav

1. Does the BPEL engine have the capability to invoke a web service using https (HTTP over SSL)? Does it automatically do that if partner link URI starts with https:// ?
We currently don't have support for HTTP over SSl. We are working on it to include this functionality in near future.
2. If not, what needs to be done to enable accessing a https based web service?
I am not sure it is possible with current product offering. I will confirm it after discussing with our concerned development group. There is some work going to integrate with Oblix security mechanism [recently acquired by Oracle].

This will be easier to do if we can use Oblix along with BPEL PM. Could you please let us know more about your application so that we can provide you the customized solution till it's part of the product. You can send this query to [email protected] so that our product management team can give you more detailed roadmap regarding this.

Error invoking SSL web service using pl sql UTL_HTTP

Web Services Gurus,
I am invoking a secure web service based on the following WSDL file from a pl/sql program using UTL_HTTP package.
The web service is secure and prompts for authentication.

Comments -
The web service operation only has input message. The input message consists of a complex type as seen in WSDL.
Questions -
1. This is my first attempt in invoking a web service from pl/sql program. Is the code in SOAP body correct as mapped to the complex type in WSDL ?
2. As seen from the dbms_out - the last message before ORA-12560 is 5.5, that means the call is erroring at following code line -
http_req:= utl_http.begin_request ------ what am I doing wrong here ?
3. The web service is SSL as seen from WSDLand needs a username/password for access - which is being performed by following code line -
utl_http.set_authentication(http_req, '<username for webservice>', '<password for webservice user>'); ------- is that correct ?
4. I am not using any proxy server - should I be using it ? When is it necessary to use proxy ?
Appreciate any help.
Thanx.

Oracle is hosted by HOST A - this is where the pl/sql program resides.
The Web Service being accessed by pl/sql program is hosted by HOST B and there are 4 firewalls in between.
Oracle was not even able to establish connection to web services host.
Escalated the issue with networking folks and they resolved the connectivity problem.
Hope that helps.

The program fails at following line of code -
l_service := UTL_DBWS.create_service (
wsdl_document_location => URIFACTORY.getURI(l_wsdl_url),
service_name => l_service_qname);
Web services are SSL.
The WSDL is at https location and needs username/password for access. The username/password to access WSDL are set using UTL_DBWS.SET_PROPERTY
To access the SSL site, I have imported the CA in Oracle Wallet, JVM home and JDK home.
Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong here. I am not able to even establish connection to web service host.
This is very frustrating - Oracle has no examples on how to access a SSL Web Service (that needs authentication) from Database.
This is effecting our project deadlines ......... any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I presume your Web Service needs HTTP (BASIC?) Authentication.
All this needs is setting the following 2 properties, which as can be seen, you are setting....
UTL_DBWS.set_property(l_call, 'USERNAME', '<username>');
UTL_DBWS.set_property(l_call, 'PASSWORD', '<pwd>');
This should work as long as your DBWS Callout Utility was downloaded from OTN after June 2008, and it's version is atleast 10.1.3.1.
Following is a sample code snippet that was tested successfully for this :
Declare
l_service UTL_DBWS.service;
l_call UTL_DBWS.call;
l_result sys.XMLTYPE;
l_request sys.XMLTYPE;
BEGIN
l_service := UTL_DBWS.create_service(null);
l_call := UTL_DBWS.create_call(l_service);
UTL_DBWS.set_target_endpoint_address(l_call, 'http://xxx.oracle.com:8888/basic/MyWebService1SoapHttpPort');
UTL_DBWS.set_property(l_call, 'USERNAME', 'username');
UTL_DBWS.set_property(l_call, 'PASSWORD', 'pwd');

Invoking P6 web services using PL/SQL block

Hi Team,
We have requirement like
Oracle jobs will invoke PL/SQL code to authenticate and establish a session with the P6 Web services.
Web service will export Project data from One Primavera database as an XML and copy to common location.
Then this XML project files will be imported into archive database.
Could anyone help me how I can establish sessio between Pl/SQL and P6 webservices?
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Regards,
Santosh
Edited by: SantoshV Singh on Apr 29, 2013 10:09 PM

It will be no different than connecting to any web services through PL/SQL which is pretty hard to do and if you are asking how to do it then you have a steep learning curve ahead of you and not a great deal in the way of good examples out there.
I wouldn't even attempt the approach you suggest. Instead I would probably write a Java application to do it and use your PL/SQL to enqueue a message that routed to the Java application. Then the java application with the Web Services support and P6 client would be easier to do what you want with web services.

Oracle is hosted by HOST A - this is where the pl/sql program resides.
The Web Service being accessed by pl/sql program is hosted by HOST B and there are 4 firewalls in between.
Oracle was not even able to establish connection to web services host.
Escalated the issue with networking folks and they resolved the connectivity problem.
Hope that helps.

I solved the problem :-)
it happened due to JAVA_HOME env var. It has to point to jdk that comes along with wl812. mine was pointing to sun jdk 1.4.2. However, this is a bug, because, for wlwlbuild task , i was setting the proper bea java home, still it was failing due to system java_home var. And i did not face this problem with WL813. After facing lot of issues with 812, now i feel, 812 is not a stable production version.
Anyways, now the prob;em is solved.

END;As you can see, both requests are made to same server. However during SOAP request I'm not getting any error, but during RESTful request I'm getting error. Can anyone tell me what could be wrong?
Best Regards,
Hari

Hi Hari,
this was bug 16212066 - apex_web_service make_rest_request doesn't use instance wallet if not specified
which will be fixed in APEX 4.2.2.
As a workaround you can specify the p_wallet_path and p_wallet_pwd parameter when calling apex_web_service.make_rest_request.

How to invoke a web service asynchronously using ws-addressing model?

Hi Gurus,
We are invoking an external web service asynchronously using Oracle Work Flow Business events using the following mechanism -
1)Created a web service invoker event to invoke the web service.
2)Created a subscription that invokes the web service (provided the wsdl address, operation info).
3)Defined a subscription parameter WFBES_CALLBACK_EVENT with value pointing to a recieve event.
4)Created a receive event(parameter value for WFBES_CALLBACK_EVENT) and a subscription that directs the response to a custom PL/SQL function to process response.
so far so good. We were able to invoke the web service and get and process the response.
Problem: The external web service can take upto 10 hrs to process the request. A time out of 2 hrs is set on the server hosting the external web service. So when the external web service takes more than 2 hrs to process the request and it times out and we get the following error on EBS side -
'l_error_message:oracle.apps.fnd.wf.bes.InvokerException: HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.ContentTypeException: Not a valid SOAP Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'
Now the external web service providers are suggesting that we are not calling their web service asynchronously and we should use ws-addressing model to do so.
Is there a way to invoke this web service using ws-addressing model using business events or from PL/SQL or OA middle-tier?

Bharat,
You dont need a Business Event setup to invoke a BPEL process from PL/SQL unless you have a special case and you need to process the response from the BPEL process in a separate thread (or in background)..
For a straight call to BPEL process from PL/SQL, here is a sample script -
function "MYTEST0" return varchar2 AS
soap_request varchar2(30000);
soap_respond varchar2(30000);
http_req utl_http.req;
http_resp utl_http.resp;
resp XMLType;
i integer;
helpStr varchar2(30000);
BEGIN
soap_request:= '<?xml version = ''1.0'' encoding = ''UTF-8''?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:ns0="
http://xmlns.oracle.com/TestWS">
<env:Body>
<ns0:TestWSProcessRequest>
<ns0:input>abc</ns0:input>
</ns0:TestWSProcessRequest>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
/* the BPEL process name is TestWS */
http_req:= utl_http.begin_request
( 'http://hostname:7777/orabpel/default/TestWS/1.0'
, 'POST'
, 'HTTP/1.1'
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'Content-Type', 'text/xml');
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'Content-Length', length(soap_request));
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'SOAPAction', 'process');
utl_http.write_text(http_req, soap_request);
http_resp:= utl_http.get_response(http_req);
utl_http.read_text(http_resp, soap_respond);
utl_http.end_response(http_resp);
resp:= XMLType.createXML(soap_respond);
resp:= resp.extract('/soap:Envelope/soap:Body/child::node()',
'xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"');
helpStr := '';
i:=0;
loop
helpStr := helpStr || substr(soap_respond,1+ i*255,250);
i:= i+1;
if i*250> length(soap_respond)
then
exit;
end if;
end loop;
return helpStr;
END;

Invoking web service using Weblogic Workshop (JCX)

Invoking web service using Weblogic Workshop
Posted: 5 Jan 2005 23:31 PM Reply
Hi,
I have WSDL from which I have generated a web service control (.jcx) using Weblogic Workshop.
I need to write a client which will invoke the web service using the control.
Can someone help me on how to go about this ?
BTW .. I also tried the clientgen route and tried to generated the proxy jar from the WSDL but wasn't successful because of a existing clientgen bug.
Refer bug

Hi,
if the consumer of the webservice is a control-aware consumer ( pageflow, control, process ) simply drag the control to this consumer and the control variable is ready for use.
if the consumer is not control-aware, try to generate a proxy using eg. the axis tool, or handcode your proxy class.

Invoking a web service from a java code

Hello
I created a simple Web service using JDevlper. It contains two methods
1) getInf int () {
return inf;}
2) void setInf (int a) {
inf = a;}
I have deployed it on Oracle Application server. By inserting the address in a browser, I tried both methods and it works correctly.
Here I am looking how to invoke this web service using a java client and use the method setInf (5 ) / * for example * /.
I search but I have not found an answer that works :(. I hope you could help me to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance

Because you weren't told what to get, perhaps you already have it eh?
What you want to read up about is JAX-WS, which is the webservice API bundled by default with your JDK (Java 6 and up). You'll find the wsimport tool in the bin directory of your JDK. I recommend you explore that directory and read up about all the executables you can find there, to be more prepared in the future. Know the tools you work with and all that. Most tools have a manual on this website:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/index.html
(under tools and utilities). Not wsimport, that is part of the jax-ws documentation. Better you look for jax-ws tutorials using Google, it will be quicker.

Calling/invoking a web service

Hi Everybody,
I am in some serious trouble and need some help.
Here is my situation :-
I have a web service hosted in oracle application server.
I have an xml file that is to be used as input to the web service.
This is what I require :-
Is there a way to invoke the web service using command line by just passing the xml and /or its wsdl as input?
If there is no way to do so, how do I write a simple J2SE client that invokes this web service using my input xml file?
In fact, i have approximately 1000 or more xml files that need to be invoked on this web service. So, i really need to automate the process. It would be great if someone could suggest a command line invocation method, so that i can write a simple unix script to automate the invocation of the web service for each of my xml files.
If you have any other idea, do tell, because i am relatively inexperienced in web services and have no clue as to what can be done.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Write a simple java class and right click and use create j2ee web service option run the wizard accepting the default's....after that under the resources folder in Jdev u find a .deploy file deploy on the application server...get the wsdl and consume it in the BPEL process.

Dynamically invoking a web service.

How can i dynamically invoke a web service using jax-ws proxy?

We will need more information on your use case.
Typically, a JAX-WS proxy refers to the Java Proxy object that implements the interface for your port. If this is what you have then you could dynamically invoke it using reflection.
However, if you really want to do dynamic invocation then you should look at the Dispatch interface. You can get a Dispatch instance from your Service object and use this to issue raw requests using SOAPMessage or streams. This will require that your application have expertise in generating SOAP requests from the WSDL of the target endpoint, but this is what is typically done in enterprise service bus type products.
If that's not your use case, let us know.

Using SAML policy while invoking a web service

I have to invoke a webservice which is secured using the policy wss10_saml_token_client_policy.
In order to achieve the above i have creates a stub using JAX-WS and while invoking the web service I pass the policy as a SecurityFeature.Code snippet given below:
SecurityPolicyFeature[] securityFeatures = new SecurityPolicyFeature[] { new SecurityPolicyFeature(
getValueFromPropertyFile("oracle/wss10_saml_token_client_policy"))};
SomeStub stub =(UserManagementPortTypev1_0)SomeService.getPort("...","....",securityFeatures );
Once deployed in weblogic and when i invoke the service, the soap request formed is correct. It creates for me the soap header with the correct security nodes. The header formed is like below:
<S:Header>

The node NameIdentifier is supposed to be populated with the logged in user id, which will be picked up from JAAS principal.
Now I am invoking the service hosted in weblogic from outside using JSON protocol, I do not have a portal ready to invoke the service.
My question is, is there any way in which i can replicate/ simulate the JAAS principal such that the nameidentifier is populated even when invoked from outside. THis is a requirement from testing perspective.

Hi,
Thanx it is working now.
BTW can you give me some urls with info of this kind of setting which i need to do for other kind of integarions in J2EE platform.Sorry if i am asking too much as i am a starter in this technology.
