Licensing question for managing web services within OC4J

I was wondering if there is a separate license cost to run/manage/secure web services running in OC4J under OAS 10g Enterprise Edition?
thanks

The OC4J 10.1.3.4 release has moved the out of the box libraries OC4J supplies for JAX-RPC/WS into a named/versioned shared-library called "oracle.ws.jaxrpc".
This means you can now easily "unimport" these out of the box implementation from the view of an application, and replace them with newer implementations such as that provided by the Apache CXF distribution by publishing it as a corresponding shared-library and importing that into the application.
See the documentation for 10.1.3.4 which describes this: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12524_01/web.1013/e12290/opensrc.htm#BABDDAIF

Persistance question for conversational web services.

I don't know if this should be posted here or on the workshop group but....
When you create web servce that is conversational states weblogic creates a table
that holds information about that web service. They are CG_ID, LAST_ACCESS_TIME
, and CG_DATA.
I assume that CG_ID is the converstation ID, LAST_ACCESS_TIME is used for timeout
information, , but what is CG_DATA used for. I need to know if when you create
an object inside a
web service that supports conversation's is the column (CG_DATA) used to hold
the internal state
of the web service? I need to know if object persistance is handled automatically
or if I have
to do it myself.

Object persistence is handled for you; all of the non-transient
serializable state should be stored in the database.

Using Identity Management for Securing Web Services

My goal is to associate my services with an Oracle Internet Directory. I made some attempts to set up SAML authentication for the web services, but it didn't have the right outcome.
(My identity management server and OID is up and running and I have successfully made authentication modules for other web applications)
Here is what I did:
1. I wrote a simple java file, used jdeveloper tools to create and deploy it as a web service to OC4J. I associated an identity management server with this service through OC4J web tools as security provider.
2. I made a data control for the web service and put it in an ADF application . (client)
3. I deployed the client project(2) to OC4J.
I could use the web service through the page.
Then
I secured the webservice to expect SAML for authentication.
Surprisingly, the client could still communicate with the webservice, Why? Shouldn't it have rejected the request because of the problem in SAML token? (The proxy and the data control were not secured, and didn't provide any SAML tokens)
4.
I added login page to my client project (through ADF security wizard). It used idenity management for authentication successfully. login process completes and web service data control is displayed.
5. I want the authentication information to be propagated through the page so that the web service receives the data and uses Identity Management.
I know I should add <property name="oracle.security.wss.propagate.identity" value ="true"/>
to one of the configuration files, but don't know where exactly.

It doesnt matter whether the service is invoked as part of your larger process or not, if it is performing any business critical operation then it should be secured.
The idea of SOA / designing services is to have the services available so that it can be orchestrated as part of any other business process.
Today you may have secured your parent services and tomorrow you could come up with a new service which may use one of the existing lower level services.
If all the services are in one Application server you can make the configuration/development environment lot easier by securing them using the Gateway.
Typical probelm with any gateway architecture is that the service is available without any security enforcement when accessed directly.
You can enforce rules at your network layer to allow access to the App server only from Gateway.
When you have the liberty to use OWSM or any other WS-Security products, i would stay away from any extensions. Two things to consider
The next BPEL developer in your project may not be aware of Security extensions
Centralizing Security enforcement will make your development and security operations as loosely coupled and addresses scalability.

Session management for a web service

I am building a web service where the user will need to login and the application will need to maintain a persistent session. I am using Apache Axis2 for client/server communication via SOAP/XML. What would the simplest and most common way of doing this? I know I could implement session management from scratch similarly to how a browser does it, using cookies, but I'd rather use standard Java libraries for this. Am I correct in assuming that even though I'm using Axis2, the solution doesn't really have anything to do with Axis2 since Axis2 is basically just a way for the client/server to send messages to each other?
I've read a lot of information online about this, but there's so much information that it's hard to know where to start. Basically I'm just looking for someone to point me in the right direction on what classes to use and so on. I just need a simple username password authentication and session management system for a web service.

Can we deploy a java web service on OC4J within EBS 12.1.3

Hi,
I needed some instructions if this is possible to deploy a java web service on OC4J in EBS 12.1.3.
We don't have SOA gateway integration. The web service is simple SOAP web service.
Is there any document that can be referred for this ?
Thanks

I would try a number of things:
1) Try generating the web service artifacts by using the web service assembler tool that comes with oc4j 10.1.3 dp3. You can use either the command line or ant assembly tasks that are available with the download. There are some fairly detailed examples of using the ant tasks for web service generation at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/1013/howtos/index.html (under the "web services" heading).
2) Try deploying the generated ear file using the admin console. I believe that should work.
3) If for some reason that doesn't work you can try to use the deployment ant tasks (also detailed in the how to examples).
I believe the reason you did not deploy successfully is that even though the core service implementation class, SEI, and JAX-RPC descriptor are portable the artifacts generated in order to deploy the service to a particular application server are unique. JWSDP is tailored to the sun platform.
Hope that helps.

Best practice for consuming web services

Hi
we are consuming web service in orchestration by "Add Generated Item".By using this option it creates 1 orch,1xsd file and some bindings.
we have different projects for schemas,maps and orchestration under our solution in visual studio.
Now i need to know that what will be the best practice for consuming web service in orchestration i mean in which project should i use "add generated item" (in orchstration project or in schemas project) coz it generates both 1 orch and 1
schema.
thanks

From a service orientation perspective you should abstract the service artifacts from the other artifacts. Otherwise it will be very difficult to update the service interface without affecting the other artifacts. For example you don't want to have to redeply
your entire application if only one field changes in the service you consume.
So I typically generate the items, remove the unnecessary stuff, and put them in a separate project.
Depending on the control you have over the services you want to consume, it would even be better to create another layer of abstraction. By that I mean create your own interface (schema) and map that one to the one the service exposes. This basically
is only necessary if you consume external services that are beyond your control. By abstracting the interface it exposes, you limit the impact of changes of that interface on the rest of your system. All changes are abstracted behind your own interface.
If you consume internal services, you can probably control the way the interface is defined. In a service oriented world all internal services expose a well known interface, based on the domain objects you have within your organisation.

Time/LEave approval in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1

Hi all,
Currently implementing ESS MSS on 4.7 system with EP 6.0 SP19.
The BP we plan to use is Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1.
My basic question is, we approve leave requests in BP for my SAP ERP (2004s) in the Universal worklist. How do we do the same in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1. There i sno mention on time approval and leave requests approval in the MSS standard documentation ( or probably i missed it).
Any inputs in this regards are highly appreciated.
regards
Sam

Balaji,
in mySAP we had the opition to lauunch the applications in web dynpro. like launch leave approval in web dynpro. do we have this kind of optiion where the manager can approve the work item on the portal application or will it call a transaction based iview to open the work item in the R/3
regards
Sam

Consuming a web service within a repository service

Is it possible to consume a web service within a custom KM repository service ? If so, please provide an overview of how I might accomplish this within the NWDS.
Thanks!

Hi David,
Two answers:
(a) Yes, of course this is possible, there is no technical restriction. For your convenience, you can create a portal service from a WSDL file, see https://fortress.wa.gov/dop/portal/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.pdk.util.developmenttools/docs/newportalservicefromwsdl.html for details (not really up to date, but in case of questions, also check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/df/a08340d990ce62e10000000a155106/frameset.htm and around). This way, you can access the portal service as a proxy to the webservice and have the WS-implementation seperated.
(b) Consider performance impacts!!! Depending on the event you are listening to, this can very easily lead to serious problems. At least, consider caching possibilities...
Hope it helps

Hi Fangnaka,
You can use JWDSP2.0 + Tomcat 5.X +Jdk1.5 to develop and deploy webservice.
Better IDEA are Intellij or Eclipse for webservice code development.

What are the different messages that OCOD may return for a web service requ

Hi,
Please give me feedback on the questions below, concerning the limitations of web service, and messages which may return.
1) What are the different messages that OCOD may return for a web service request? I need all the messages of all the scenarios which OCOD can meet, for example:
- If the file is rejected (Error message)
- If the file is accepted (to clarify that the records have been created)
- if the application is unavailable (maintenance or web service is down)
2) How many request can we send simultaneously, and how many records we can make per second?
Best Regard,

Mapping input values for a web service connection to a range of cells

I've created a web service connection in Xcelsius data manager. My web service requires an array of integer as input parameter. How do I map input values for a web service connection to read from a range of cells in the spreadsheet, e.g. $A$2:$A$20, in similar way of mapping output values to write to a range of cells in the spreadsheet?
For output values of the web service, I can specify to map the output values to write to a range of cells. However, it doesn't seem to work for reading the input values.
I can map input values for each node to a single cell, e.g. $A$2, in the spreadsheet. However, when I set the "Read From" field to a range of cells, e.g. $A$2:$A$20, it only reads in the first value in the range.
Is there any way that we can do this mapping for input values as we do for output values?
Your assistance is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Van

Van,
There is a workaround for that...
Example:
My Webservice accepts input data range in a specific format with " :" symbol, i.e. 072008:082008
Now what i do is
A1 = 072008
A2 = 082008
A3 = CONCATENATE(A1,":",A2)
so A3 = 072008:082008
Now i map the input value in web service to cell A3
P.S have 2 input box components and map it to cells A1 and A2, i.e you are giving users an option to enter the range of values...then web service will capture the range and refreshes data with the range of values user entered.
hope this helps..

I want to use the web services SDK to access the crystal reports on a crystal reports 2011 server. I added all the JARs in the C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib folder but none of them contain classes from the com.businessobjects.dsws package which is root package for the web services SDK.
My questions:
Where are the JARs located ?
Is there sample code that excerices the usage of the BO BI 4.0 web services SDK ?
Thanks

(268625273) Q WSI-29 Can you give any performance benchmarks for WLS web services?

Q<WSI-29> Can you give any performance benchmarks for WLS web services?
A<WSI-29>: It is very difficult to quantify performance aspects of web services
since they depend on so many variables including but not limited to: backend system
processing by stateless session beans and message driven beans, size of XML SOAP
message sent, system hardware (CPU speed, parallel processing, RAM speed) and
system software (JVM type and version of WebLogic server). However, let me point
out that the EJB backend processing of requests both have the best possible scalability
within the EJB2.0 specification (both stateless session and message driven beans
can be pooled) and servlets have a proven scalable track record. Thus it should
be possible to scale your web service deployment to meet demand. The overhead
in processing XML within the servlet can be significant depending on the size
of XML data (either as a parameter or a return type). While WLS6.1 does not have
any features to address this performance concern, WLS7.0 will feature Serializer
and Deserializer classes which can be dedicated to the XML to Java and Java to
XML translation (they can also be automatically be generated from a DTD, XML Schema
or regular JavaBean).
It is true that web services are not the fastest way to process client requests
but BEA is committed to making WebLogic server the fastest possible service provider.

OWSM and Webservices -Define policies once for multiple web services

I thought that through using OWSM we had the possibility to use the same Policy Lines for multiple web services.
Mostly when web services are used/integrated within an application, the same rules need to be defined and I thought this requirement could be met when using OWSM.
But you need to define the policy requirements on each web service that's passing through a gateway or agent, why isn't it supported to define policy lines one level higher to be able to use the same requirements for multiple web services?

Nathalie,
For this purpose OWSM allows you to use Template Policy Pipelines.
For individual services, you can than replace the pipeline with the Template.
But I have to agree with you here: the templating functions are rough on the edges, e.g. limited editing capabilities.
Hope this helps.
