Letter spacing wrong when generting pdf in web service

I have a turnkey JBoss Installation on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.
When I create a pdf document out of an doc (Office 2003 SP3) or docx (Word 2007 SP2)
with the web services I get wrong letter spacing. If I simply create a pdf out of Microsoft Word with the
installed Adobe Add-On on the same server the spacing is correct.
There is no error or warning in all the log files.
I tried already all kind of settings in the font settings, but no success.
You can see the differences in the attachment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Answer: I tested a lot by myself and finally it worked. I am still not 100% sure why, but I think it is the following:
When you have configured the turnkey installation, everything is up and running afterwards. But then you have these strange letter spacings.
When you restart the jboss service (Windows) then it is correct afterwards.

> Yeah, Motter Corpus is pretty distinctive. If you got a font substitution you'd know.
But would you know if the font was not embedded (other than by looking at the file properties) when viewing on a system where it is installed?
It looks to me as if the spacing issue is confined to the headings. Is that right? Have you previewed the page with custom tracking and kerning highlighted in ID (you'll find those settings in the preferences under Composition)? On screen shot the spacing looks very even so that's what I'd check first.
What does the ID file look like for those same pages?

GenericServiceFactory initialization problem when trying to load Web servic

Hi,
I am making a Guided procedure that calls a webservice. I have created a new Destination Template and was able to load the webservice definition successfully, but when I test the callable object I created for that same webservice y get the error:
GenericServiceFactory initialization problem when trying to load Web service model for WSDL.
Somehow I think there is something wrong with the user authentication. The Destination template has a user and password but somehow I think the callable object test is not using this information at all.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Hans,
Have you verified if you can call any external web service calls from your J2EE engine? Go into the SOA Management / Global settings (if you are on CE - if you're on 7.0 it's in manage WS desintations).
Look at your proxy settings and set them like your web browser that enables external calls. For example, in the SAP network I set my global proxy settings on my local J2EE engine to be:
Proxy host: proxy
Proxy port: 8080
Exclude list: *.sap.corp
Does that make sense - have you verified if your settings are correct for your company?

Unauthorized Error when using XI exposed Web-Services

I have configured a XI exposed Web-Services, when I fired the web service, there is an Unauthorized Error.
when I go to message monitoring, I notice that the exception happened for the end point "http://XI Server:8000/sap/xi/engine?type=entry" for connection AFW

Hi ST,
When you are firing the webservice after sending the SOAP request through XML SPY for checking,you need to enter the PI Server ID and Password then only request will be posted to PI server.
You can directly posting the Request to Integration engine without going through the Adapter engine.
Still u are facing problem please let me know.
All the best,

Crystal Reports 2008 fails when called from e Web Service under 64bit OS

I have discovered that Crystal Reports 2008 doesn't work when called from a Web Service running under 64bit Windows platforms (in my case Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP 64bit); practically no object is instantiated. I've tried several solutions without success.
Before creating a wrapper component to use under COM+, is there anybody who has a better and cheaper solution than creating another component to wrap CR 2008 ?

Hi Sergio,
Before I mark this post as assumed answered I would just like to say and re-iterate that at this time there is no one answer and we fully understand your concerns. As you know in CR 6.0 it came in 16 and 32 bit versions because at the time 32 bit was relatively new but 16 bit was the norm. This is also true for 32 to 64 bit, 32 is the norm and 64 bit is relatively new. We know and are well aware 64 bit is the future and we are working as quickly as we can to move in that direction. Because of the complexity of the Product it's not simply a matter of re-compiling all of our dll's in 64 bit format. The core of our data connectivity with our database drivers which are dependant on third party clients must also need to support 64 bit modes. This as well as Printer drivers also need to be 64 compatable, there are a multitude of dependencies that we rely on that must add 64 bit support. As a programmer you are well aware of the issues around Thunking back and forth between 32 to 64 bits, it can cause delays and potentially loss of data which is a whole other issue. Not to mention also that we would have to ship both versions potentially doubling the size of the distribution packages or doubling the size of the dll's to have the ability to work in both modes. Relatively speaking of course, it would not be double the size but the variables would need to be able to allocate 32 or 64 memory blocks.
The other option is to produce 2 separate versions, this alone is a massive project. Any issue would need to be fixed in separate code streams.
So I'm sure you can see it's not simply a matter of saying yes we support 64 bit. It's a massive project that is going to take time to do and we have to wait for the third party drivers to commit also.
Visual Studio .NET 2005 and 2008 is the only option if you want true 64 bit but you will be limited on what DB's you can support and export formats you can export to. They are the only drivers we did convert to 64 bit.
Thank you for your understanding

Error on page when trying to test web service in EM

Hi,
I've developed a couple of web services in JDeveloper and tested them through Enterprise Manager. But the latest service won't work as expected. When I press "Test Web Service" for this particular port I get the message "Error on page" and
"Line: 94
Char: 1
Error: Object expected
Code: 0"
For the other web services the possible input parameters are shown as an HTML form and you can also choose to use an XML source. But this won't work in this case. No input parameters are shown and you can't choose XML source.
My question is of course the reason for this behaviour. And secondly; are the possible input parameters retrieved from the xsd file or from somewhere else? Could there be an error in it causing the problem? I'd be happy to provide some code, although right now I'm not sure which code snippet is appropriate.
Thanks in advance!
Kerstin

Update:
Now I see that there are in fact two error messages. The second one is the one presented above. But the first one says:
Line: 145
Char: 97
Error: Expected ';'
Code: 0
My question now is to what file it is referring?? Is it to ProjectAccountingPort.js that is automatically created? THen why is it not properly created??
Please, please help me with this! The deadline is in a few days...

Letter Spacing (formating) Coldfusion to PDF

I've been trying to figure out a way to control letter
spacing in Adobe LiveCycle 7 ES. I'm new to the program and have
tried some javascript, etc, but with no success.
I created a PDF file containing a dynamic image and 2 font
fields.
I'm passing the value from Coldfusion MX 8, using the
cfpdfform/cfpdfsubform/cfpdfformparam. I can successfully pass the
the value to the image and both text fields, but, I need to have
formating (letter spacing) for one of the fields.
I'm guessing there's a way to do it, possibly within the xml
source file, or some sort of javascript attatched to the Text Field
object.
If anyone out there has any idea, I would really appreciate
it. I'm not sure why adobe did'nt add a letter spacing (kerning)
tool for formatting fonts/characters. You can do line spacing, why
not letter..hhhmm??
Thanks!

Have you asked in the LiveCycle forums?

How to Hide Acrobat Reader When Printing PDFs From Web App

We have a web application that prints pdfs. Here's the line of code that prints the pdfs:
win32api.ShellExecute(0, "print", filename, None, ".", 0)
When the pdf prints from our web application, Adobe Acrobat opens and we don't need it to open. Is there a way to get the pdf to print without Acrobat interupting the user?

Use standard VB/Windows features to minimize the app.

"File Not Found" when addCourse through iTunesU web service.

I have problem to add Course to my institute's iTunesU site through Web Service.
I was able to get the xml doc back through showTree operation and here is part of it:
<Site>
<Name>my institute's name</Name>
<Handle>123</Handle>
<AggregateFileSize>63057465318</AggregateFileSize>
<Section> <Name>Your Classes</Name>

<AggregateFileSize>57423912007</AggregateFileSize>
<Course>
<Name>course 1</Name>
<Handle>111</Handle>
</Course>
</Section>
<Section>
I was able to get the uploadURL back too. The URL to get the uploadURL request:
https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/API/GetUploadURL/myInstitute.edu.45 6?type=XMLControlFile
The uploadURL I got back looks like:
https://deimos2.apple.com/WebObjects/Files.woa/Upload/myInstitute.edu.456/X_1371095208_1a.43c06fa3.467dc4f2/%5Banonymous1371095208%5D/0046e71254900a071aa9241221a469d98ff1ef6fa973544c45ef9 5260dac6c64f05b10aefc
But when I use the uploadURL above and post the addCourse.xml:
<ITunesUDocument>
<AddCourse>
<ParentHandle>456</ParentHandle>
<Course>
<Name>Jing Test iTunesU Web service Course</Name>
<ShortName>Jing Test</ShortName>
</Course>
</AddCourse>
</ITunesUDocument>
The response I got
<error>File Not Found</error> File Not Found
I used myInstitute.edu.456 to get the uploadURL and set it to ParentHandle on addCourse.xml since 456 is the section handler in whoch I want to add the course.
I tried to remove 456 from the myInstitute.edu to get the uploadURL and then use it to add course, got the same error.
Is there something wrong with the URL I used to get the uploadURL?
here is the code and the values pass to the methodI used to send addCourse request:
url = uploadURl on above
name="file"
fileName="file.xml";
data=addCourse xml on above
contentType="text/xml"
public String invokeAction(String url,
String name,
String fileName,
String data,
String contentType) throws MessagingException {
// Send a request to iTunes U and record the response.
StringBuffer response = null;
System.out.println("xml doc: ---" + data);
try {
// Verify that the communication will be over SSL.
if (!url.startsWith("https")) {
throw new MalformedURLException("ITunesUFilePOST.invokeAction(): URL \""
+ url + "\" does not use HTTPS.");
// Build the multipart data.
MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
MultipartFormBuilder.addMultipartFormBody(multipart,

// Create a connection to the requested iTunes U URL.
HttpURLConnection connection =
(HttpURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
connection.setUseCaches(false);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
"multipart/form-data; boundary="
+ MultipartFormBuilder.getMultipartBoundary(multipart));
String multipartData = MultipartFormBuilder.getMultipartData(multipart);
// Send the multipart data to iTunes U.
connection.connect();
OutputStream output = connection.getOutputStream();
output.write(multipartData.getBytes("UTF-8"));
output.flush();
output.close();
// Read iTunes U's response.
response = new StringBuffer();
InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(input, "UTF-8");
reader = new BufferedReader(reader);
char[] buffer = new char[16 * 1024];
for (int n = 0; n >= 0;) {
n = reader.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length);
if (n > 0) response.append(buffer, 0, n);
// Clean up.
input.close();
connection.disconnect();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
// ITunes U requires UTF-8 and ASCII encoding support.
throw new java.lang.AssertionError("ITunesUFilePOST.invokeAction(): UTF-8 encoding not supported!");
} catch (IOException e) {

// Return the response received from iTunes U.
System.out.println("response from ITunesUFilePOST: " + response.toString());
return response.toString();
}

I'm having a similar "File Not Found" error, but it's happening for any API request other than GetUploadURL. I'm sending a POST request to the GetUploadURL, and that part is working correctly, as I get a URL such as the following:
https://deimos2.apple.com/WebObjects/Files.woa/Upload/wvu.edu/X_1372071795_4d9433be.4c3fdd3d.4c3fdd3e/%22Chris%20Scharf%22%20%3Ccbscharf%40mail.wvu.edu%3E%20%28cbscharf%29%20%5B3258 7%5D/0046eaaaf078cf5d6b60f18926106a50a5050cf8f9c91a7608074e6d2949a8759017969ece
Then, I've tried using curl (within 90 seconds) to submit a simple XML document containing a ShowTree request:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ITunesUDocument>
<ShowTree>
<KeyGroup>most</KeyGroup>
</ShowTree>
</ITunesUDocument>
The command executed is "curl -F file=test.xml URL" (where URL is the URL retrieved from GetUploadURL. But I simply get "<error>File Not Found</error>"
I'm correctly sending credentials, since I'm getting upload URLs. And it's not an issue with the XML document, since it's not even getting to the server.

Jdeveloper 11g R2 problem when publishing PL\SQL Web Service

Hi Guys,
I have been banging my head against the wall for the past few days trying to publish pl\sql package as a web service on a weblogic 10.3 but I keep running into the same problem.
PL\SQL Package Source below
create type dept_type as object
(deptno NUMBER,
dname VARCHAR2(50),
loc varchar2(13),
cr_date date)
create type dept_list_table is table of dept_type
purge recyclebin;
create or replace package ws_package as
procedure test_dept_table (pout out dept_list_table);
end ws_package;
show errors;
create or replace package body ws_package as
procedure test_dept_table (pout out dept_list_table) is
all_depts dept_list_table := dept_list_table();
dRecType dept_type;
i number := 0;
begin
-- iterate through all depts
for r_list in (select * from dept) loop
i := i + 1;
dRecType := dept_type(null, null, null, null);
dRecType.deptno := r_list.deptno;
dRecType.dname := r_list.dname;
dRecType.loc := r_list.loc_id;
dRecType.cr_date := sysdate;
pout.extend;
pout(i) := dRecType;
end loop;
end test_dept_table;
end ws_package;
show errors;
I go and create PL\SQL Web Service using default settings in Jdeveloper 11g R2 but when I try and test this page I get the following response:
Failed to invoke end component servqa.MyWebService1User (POJO), operation=testDeptTable -> Failed to invoke method -> java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 13: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'TEST_DEPT_TABLE' ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Anyone have any idea what the problem may be? Your help would be much appreceated!
Bojan

Hi Frank,
I think the problem is in any procedure that has a COMPLEX TYPE as OUT parameter. So even if you strip down the procedure to just do nothing I still get the error as described in my top post. Passing complex parameters as IN parameter work fine its only when I have procedure with complex out when it errors. I also tried function that returns object parameter and that works fine too so not sure why this doesnt?
create or replace package body ws_package as
procedure test_dept_table (pout out dept_list_table) is
begin
-- iterate through all depts
for r_list in (select * from dept) loop
i := i + 1;
end loop;
end test_dept_table;
end ws_package;
Not sure if I am meant to do anything extra before I generate Web Service using JDeveloper if my procedure has got PL\SQL types as OUT parameters but as far as I know JDeveloper should do all the type conversions for you??
Thanks
Bojan

Issue when calling an external web service - CRM 2013

Hello everyone.
This is my scenario:
I'm doing a real time data integration from CRM to another software. I deployed several plugins, mostly in create/update messages, for the entities i want to sync. The developers of the other software gave me the endpoint of the web service and I created the
client using svcutil. I manually created the binding and gave it to the generated client, along with the endpoint. At the first tests I could sync some registries, but I had some mapping errors. I debugged the plugin, corrected the errors, and when I
want to tests again, the plugin is throwing me an exception when calls any method of the web service. Let me explain the issue:
The exception:
I instantiated the client for the web service (passing to it the binding and the endpoint). And when I'm trying to call any method (ex. Add), it throws the exceptions "InvalidOperationException". I started to debug the code and I notice that
just before to call the web service method, the state of the client stills in "Opening". Of course that is generating the exception.
The complete exception is: "The communication object, System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory`1[IAxxisWcfServices], cannot be modified while it is in the Opening
state."} System.SystemException {System.InvalidOperationException}
I did a test, outside the CRM environment, on a console app with the same conditions of the web services client (generating with svcutil, manually passing the same binding and endpoint), and the same order of the plugin code, and everything works well; The
state of the client never stills in 'Opening', so I discarded any problem with the web service.
Anyone knows if I'm missing something in the code? or some configuration?
The CRM is 2013 On-premise with last updates.
Thanks in advance.

I tried adding the web reference in a console app and works fine. In the plugins this can't be done, because the plugins are deploy in database.
I tried another basic test using ChannelFactory. Only want to retrieve some entity through the external web services:
IPluginExecutionContext context = localContext.PluginExecutionContext;
IOrganizationService service = localContext.OrganizationService;
ITracingService tracer = localContext.TracingService;
try
BasicHttpBinding binding = new BasicHttpBinding();
binding.Name = "BasicHttpBinding_IAxxisWcfServices";
binding.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.None;
binding.Security.Transport.ProxyCredentialType = HttpProxyCredentialType.None;
binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None;
EndpointAddress endpoint = new EndpointAddress(@"http://*****.svc");
ChannelFactory<IAxxisWcfServices> factory = new ChannelFactory<IAxxisWcfServices>(binding, endpoint);
IAxxisWcfServices channel = factory.CreateChannel();
var entity = channel.FindByEntities(new CRM.Application.Context.Dtos.Asegurado( { CrmGuid = "7C3E96C6-C3BC-E411-80DF-0A736AE14667" }, null, new CRM.Framework.Session() { User = "***", Password = "***" });
catch (Exception ex)
throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(ex.Message);
That test threw the following exception on the GenericParameterAttributes of channelType of factory object:

Submit pdf to web service as xml

I want to do the following:
a) Create a pdf form that the user can fill out and save using their laptop.
b) The user goes back to the office, opens the pdf, and clicks a submit button.
c) The submit button contacts a web service (that I will write) and submits the xml from the pdf so that the information they filled in gets submitted to my web service. From there I will do whatever I need to with the xml, I just need to get it there.
Here are my questions:
1) It looks like I can do this using Acrobat Pro by clicking the "Extend Features in Adobe Reader". Is this true or do I need LiveCycle?
2) Is their a white paper, tutorial, or some sample code that someone can point me to? This sounds very simple but I'm having difficulty finding any documentation that actually describes the process that's not 5 years old.
TIA,
Greg

If you are only going to use the Reader Enablement features available when using Acrobat (and NOT LiveCycle), then you can ONLY post data (XML or otherwise) to a server via standard HTTP POST. SOAP support is ONLY enabled for Reader when using LiveCycle...

Q: General : When will you use Web Service as opposed to just Servlet and/or EJB?

Hi,
I don't know if this is an appropriate question to ask for this class as it's not
workshop
specific. I was wondering how will I decide when it is appropriate to use a web
service as opposed to say servlet or an EJB for my application? What is a good
rationale to use?

Hi Adam,
Thanks a lot for giving such a lucid explanation of my vague question!
I understand now the difference between when to use EJBs/Servlets/Web Services.
Thanks again!

EJBs should be the core desription and processing of your business rules.
They generally

they require

objects or applets or GUI applications).
Servlets often form a web-based front end to EJBs. They also have good performance,
integrate into security and only require HTTP access. This means they are
accessible
outside your firewall and any client with a HTTP or web API can call on
them, however,
there is no standard contract or rules for this type of interaction so you
will need
provide direct input into development of the client.
Web services are also accessible via HTTP and so can be accessed from outside
your
firewall. In fact, Web services internally within Workshop and WebLogic
actually
operate by using servlets and EJBs but the main advantage is that the mechanism/contract
for interacting with the web service is a well defined standard (WSDL) and
can actually
be registered or retreived dynamically (UDDI). Since web service standards
are open,
most popular programming languages already provide client APIs to interact
with them
thus freeing the web service developer from direct interaction with the
client developer
and letting the client be developed on any platform. The penalty for this
openness
is a small performance hit (XML translation) and a slowly maturing security
model.
So in summary, use EJBs for business operations that have Java clients within
your
enterprise, use servlets to provide web style access to your business operations
(like web pages) and use web services to enable automated clients that can
be written
on any platform either inside or outside your enterprise (firewall). In
fact, it
is common to write the EJB first and then to expose some parts of it outside
of your
enterprise by writing a web service wrapper (maybe using the EJB controls
that we
saw in class).
I hope this helps.

Hi,
I don't know if this is an appropriate question to ask for this class as
it's not
workshop
specific. I was wondering how will I decide when it is appropriate to use
a web
service as opposed to say servlet or an EJB for my application? What is
a good
rationale to use?
Thanks,

When trying to initiate Web Services getting server connection error

HP PhotoSmart 5510, 6510 and 7510 all get Server Connection Error when trying to do the initial Web Services setup. I connected with no problem to my wireless router and have received an ip address but all three printer give me the same error when trying to set up web services. Any insight would be appreciated.

Hello cdecicco,
I answered a post with similar issues where someone was unable to connect to Web Services on their printer. Here is the link:

Let me know if this helps or you need more assistance.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
