Invoking web service in workflow

I have an identity seeding workflow that involves creating an account in the Service Center, after creating the LH account. There is no resource defined in idm for Service Center, but it is called using web services and there is a wsdl for that.
I need help on how to invoke the web services in the workflow so that the account is created. Appreciate any help if anyone has done this and its working successfully...
Thank you in advance.

hi,
Create a web service client for the Web service. Develop a function that can take input arguments and call the client. Put this file as a jar file in web-inf/lib folder and call this method from the workflow.. using script

How to execute BPEL process and invoke web service and workflow design

I am completely new to Oracle software. i need to develope BPEL process using oracle
I have installed almost all necessary product like oracle SOA suite , jDeveloper, BPEL process manager.
But nothing works . i did not installed patches.
I INSTALLED ALL LATEST SOA SUITE 11g AND ORACLE BUSINESS MANAGER (10.1.3.1.0). BUT I AM LACKING bpel DESIGNER. For that purpose i downloaded and installed oracle JDeveloper 11g studio version. but it does not have bpel designer.
all tutorial are based on either eclipse based bpel designer "bpelz" OR jdeveloper based. but latest JDEVELOPER 11g studio version does not have any bpel option. even i can not able to download necessary patches.
KINDLY TELL ME NECESSARY PREREQUISITES TO RUN BPEL PROCESS TO setup complete bpel environment.
necessary tutorials links and software to download.
Thanks in advance K. ROY

Hi Roy ,
The Jdeveloper 11g does not have plugin for BPEL .
download jdeveloper 10.1.3.4 from
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/index.html
and run a online update for the jdeveloper . This will give you the BPEL project option.
A very good link for learning BPEL is :

How to access/invoke Web Service from BPM Process

The following steps required to attach and invoke web service method from process:
1) Add a module in the catalog for ex WebServiceMO
2) Add WebService Catalog component demoWebService in WebServiceMO
3) Put ur WSDL address in WSDL address field like "http://localhost:8080/test/test?wsdl"
4) Click next to introspect the web service it will import required files and setting from the url to your project
5) Now for invoking webservice just call the method for ex.
@return as String[]
getTestStringList(TestInterfaceService, out @return : @return)
logMessage "web service calll result >>"+length(@return)+">>>"+@return[0]
Here @ return is the return from webservice call.
this way u can access web service from BPM process.
Edited by: Anurag Yadav on Jul 17, 2009 2:19 PM

I have a web service which does not return any value but when I introspect the web service, I have an out parameter to it.. Not sure why?
For e.g.
TestServiceListener.addTestNotes(TestNotes : testNotes, out TestNoteResponse : testNoteResponse);
So here I see an out parameter, but my web-service has no out parameter...
Any idea why is this happening?

Invoking Web Service From PL SQL package

Below is the sample code to invoke web service from pl/sql package using UTL_HTTP:

UTL_HTTP.begin_request
'http://'

'POST',
'HTTP/1.1'
UTL_HTTP.set_header (http_req, 'Content-Type', 'text/xml');
-- since we are dealing with plain text in XML documents
UTL_HTTP.set_header (http_req,
'Content-Length',
LENGTH (lv_soap_request)
UTL_HTTP.set_header (http_req, 'SOAPAction', '');
-- required to specify this is a SOAP communication
UTL_HTTP.write_text (http_req, lv_soap_request);
http_resp := UTL_HTTP.get_response (http_req);
UTL_HTTP.read_text (http_resp, lv_soap_respond);
UTL_HTTP.end_response (http_resp);
resp := XMLTYPE.createxml (lv_soap_respond);
End;

Hi,
there are a lot of option to make plsql web services .
First you can stay with jdev 10.1.3
Use the xmldb servlets
use jdev 11g tp4 to create plsql ws and upgrade to jdev 11g production
And I think in the next release of jdev it will be back , there are more options which disappeared like the adf bc sdo ws or jmx datacontrol etc.
thanks Edwin

Invoking web service from OBIEE11g failed socket timeout

Hi,
I encountered an error when I invoke web service from OBIEE 11g. The web serivce resides on Websphere running on other machine.
An error says that "Invoking web service failed due to socket timeout." and it seems that it stopped in just 40 secs.
Is there any settings of WebLogic server to avoid this? This web service normally runs for more than 60 sec.
I have checked several parameters in WebLogic admin console and changed those values, but I still receive the same error.
Invoking the same web service from SOAPUI sustains for more than 60 secs.
Regards,
Fujio Sonehara

Don't be too surprised. Sun figured this bug out in short order. I got the same error message when trying to do the same thing, just for the heck of it. Reference this article for details.
http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/ea2/jaxrpc/ReleaseNotes.html
It contains information about bugs fixed in the WSDP EA2. So in answer to your question, download the newer pack from
http://java.sun.com/webservices/downloads/webservicespack.html
and your bug will go away. Happy Coding.

"Error while parsing SOAP XML payload: no element found" received when invoking Web Service

Running PB 12.1 Build 7000. Using Easysoap. Error ""Error while parsing SOAP XML payload: no element found" received when invoking Web Service". This error does not appear to be coming from the application code. Noticed that there were some erroneous characters showing up within the header portion of the XML ("&Quot;").

Not sure where or what temp_xml_letter resides???   The developer of this is no longer with us and my exposure to WSDL and Web Services is rather limited. Need to get this resolved...please.

Maybe "extraneous" is an incorrect term. Apparantly, based upon the writeup within Wiki, the parser I am using does not interpret the """? How do I find which parser is being utilized and how to control it?
<<<
If the document is read by an XML parser that does not or cannot read external entities, then only the five built-in XML character entities (see above) can safely be used, although other entities may be used if they are declared in the internal DTD subset.
If the document is read by an XML parser that does read external entities, then the five built-in XML character entities can safely be used. The other 248 HTML character entities can be used as long as the XHTML DTD is accessible to the parser at the time the document is read. Other entities may also be used if they are declared in the internal DTD subset.

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.

Invoke web service with DTO

Hey guys,
I am quite new in using BPEL. My first test worked fine, but know I have an issue, which I can not solve. Invoking web services with a basic return value is no problem. I could also you a dto object including some basic variables in order to invoke the web service without having problems.
But when I have a dto object as return value, I get the following exception.
Could someone give me a hint to fix my problem...that would be great!
Thanks alot!
Sven

Invoking web service with HTTP authentication using OdiInvokeWebService

ODI Version 11.1.1.3.0

I've gotten past the original error by importing the security certificate of the Web service into my keystore/truststore. I'm also running the process on SOA 10.1.3.1.0. Now when I invoke the Web service from the BPEL process I get this error:
exception on JaxRpc invoke: HTTP transport error:
javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException:
javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Bad response: 403 Forbidden
I've tried passing the credentials every way I can -- partner link properties, Oracle Web Services Manager, whatever -- and still get the same error. I would expect to see a 401 error for problems with credentials, not a 403.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time.

Invoke Web Service - An unknown error occurred

We recently moved our Runbooks to Windows Server 2012 R2. The Invoke Web Services activity has not been executed previously on this installation and thus no cache files.
Entering any SOAP WSDL into the WSDL Properties fields then clicking Method throws an error An Unknown Error Occurred.
Do not see any additional information in Logs or Event Viewer.
All WSDLs are known to be good and are consumed by other applications, including PowerShell.
Thoughts?
Edit: Tested on another installation and it works. I do not have the option to reinstall the server that is facing this issue.
Moved On

Resolved the issue. Team forgot to install R2. The working environment has R2, after upgrading the issue is resolved.
It would appear that Invoke Web Services in Orchestrator 2012 is useless.

How to invoke web service in web Dynpro for java in CE environment.

Hi all,
Currently, I would like to invoke web service to retrieve data and display to the web dynpro. Do you have any sample code which I can reference?
I am currently using CE7.1 SP3.
Thank you.

Hi,
You need to use Adaptive Web Service Model for that.
Check the tuorial in the link for accessing web services.

Web Service - Invoke Web Service not trapping errors

Greetings All:
I am having an issue trying to trap errors coming out of the Invoke Web Service service.
I have a Fault Route set up for SYSTEM EXCEPTION, and direct it to an ExecuteScript service.
If the process I am developing fails, it appears to leave the web service "open". The next time the process is invoked, it will fail on the Web Service call.
When my process fails, this failure route is never taken.
I do not know why the initial failure does not "clean-up" after itself.
I also do not know why the Web Service call does not follow the failure route.
This is a turnkey 8.2 install on Windows Server 2003 running JBoss.
Any assistance on how to overcome these problems would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Mark
