Mutliple Query String input to APEX RESTful Services

Does Oracle APEX (latest version via APEX Listener) support passing in multiple query string parameters to support a restful service query? E.g.
http://ofmindus.induscorp.com:7000/apex/servicetest/animals/dogs/spot
http://ofmindus.induscorp.com:7000/apex/servicetest/animals/dogs?name=spot
http://ofmindus.induscorp.com:7000/apex/servicetest/animals/dogs?name=spot?location=Maryland
As you can see the progression above, the last url will query a dogs table using where name = 'spot' and location = 'Maryland'. Is this possible? If so can someone explain how to setup the URI/Bind Variables? Also, if its possible, do I need templates to support each variation of the input that is possible using a priority setting to help APEX pick the right query to execute?

Hi Nilesh,
We tried to connect to Oracle Cloud Database using the way you suggested above, but unfortunately it is not working as well.
Can you let us know the authentication process with Oracle Cloud Database? We found in documentation that it uses OAM (Oracle Access Manager) for authentication. Can you tell us a bit about that? That will be extremely helpful.
Thanks,

An error occurred querying a data source - with REST services

Hi,
I have a SharePoint 2013 form library library with an info-path form. I need to get the logged in user's 'Display Name' on my form load automatically.
I used REST service to fetch the current user details. In the preview mode of the form, its showing the right name. But when I publish this form to library I am getting the following error.
REST Service --> http://site url/_api/SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager/GetMyProperties
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance for your time and reply :)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that an error occurred querying a data source with REST services.
It is defiantly permission issue with GetUserProfileByName service
and could be many reasons of this problem. You first try with UDCX file and make sure that UPS is running.
Here are some similar threads for your reference:

How to disable query-string evaluation in OSB proxy service?

OSB 10.3 proxy service evaluates the query String ?WSDL (are there more such parameters?). Usually the assigned WSDL will be returned this way.
I want to use OSB as simple HTTP-proxy. There is no WSDL assigned. The proxy service should simply pass all parameters to the request pipeline. This works fine for parameters in general but not for WSDL. This produces the exception below.
Does anyone have an idea how to disable this query string evaluation within OSB proxy service?
Thanks

Daniel,
http://hostServer/contextpath?WSDL is common way of retrieving WSDL for service whcih supports one. The case you are suggesting is if the service does not have any wsdl associated, then it is good practice that caller be notified appropriately which is being done by OSB. OSB is indicating that the service for which we have used ?wsdl has no wsdl associated.
I guess there is no way we can disable this feature for un-typed OSB services (services which doesn't have wsdl associated). Any reason why would we don't want exception when '?wsdl' is used?

Parameters to Apex RESTful service

I am having issues getting parameters to pass to a region I have published as REST. I am using the following URL:
http://apex:8000/apex/apex_rest.getReport?app=145&page=2&reportid=RestTest&parmvalues=P2_ID,1969&output=xml
And I have the SQL for the report defined as:
select * from accounts
where id=nv('P2_ID')
or nv('P2_ID') IS NULL
The report runs and filters fine from the web page, but does not honor the parameter when passed as above.
Any thoughts?
This is Apex 4.0.0.00.46
Randy

Hi Randy,
I was having a similar issue to yours and wondered if you made any progress with it?
I have a test report based on this SQL :
select empno,ename,job,mgr,hiredate,sal,comm,deptno
from empwhich when enabled for RESTful access I can get the data just fine with this :
http://<server>/apex/apex_rest.getReport?app=39830&page=16&reportid=111however if I add a hidden page item (P16_DEPTNO) and use that in the SQL :
select empno,ename,job,mgr,hiredate,sal,comm,deptno
from emp
where deptno = :P16_DEPTNOand change my RESTful URL to :
http://<server>/apex/apex_rest.getReport?app=39830&page=16&reportid=111&parmvalues=P16_DEPTNO,10then I get an error :
The requested URL /apex/apex_rest.getReport was not found on this server
The page works fine when viewed normally so i don't think there are any page errors.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

How to test RESTful service?

Hello Everyone!
Working on APEX REST services, my query is in regard with the below link:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35128/restful_svc.htm#autoId6
In the above link, heading '5.5.2 Retrieving Data Based on a Parameter (employees/{id})' -> points from 1. -to- .8 are covered.
Stuck on point '9. Click Set Bind Variables.', I cannot find this link on that page under my Development environment Application Express 4.2.0.00.27.
Kindly help to locate this link so that I can test my service?
For more clarity, please click below image link
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/cloud/dbservice/restfulws/images/t2_02.jpg
The mouse cursor is placed at the end of the page on one of the two buttons 'Test' & 'Set Bind Variables', my development environment doesn't show these buttons. Anyone know why is this happening?
- Krishna Vashistha

Okay, I have got this sort out on my own.
For the record, you must update you apex listener with new release apex_listener.2.0.5.287.04.27, which supports RESTful services. By updating you will see those two missing buttons 'Test' & 'Set Bind Variables', to test your newly created service.

How to query for foreign encoded text via REST service

I am using APEX 4.2.1.00.08 to publish RESTful web services that query a table of place names. The place names include foreign encoded alternates. My search field has type of NVARCHAR2 and the db has NLS_CHARACTERSET of AL32UTF8. Querying for foreign encoded names works fine from other applications (e.g. TOAD, ArcGIS).
In APEX under 'SQL Workshop | RESTful Services' I have created a module, resource template, and resource handler. When I use 'Set Bind Variables' to test the service, it works for 'English' names with no problem (e.g. 'London').
However, when I query for a foreign equivalents like 'ロンドン', the Japanese version of 'London', I get the following error:
400 - Bad Request
The request path contains illegal characters
How do I get foreign encoded place names to work as the bind variable value of a REST service?

Does this query help?
select /*+ parallel(4) */
pk.table_name parent_table_name, pk.constraint_name pkey_constraint,
fk.table_name child_table_name, fk.constraint_name fkey_constraint, fk.r_constraint_name

user_constraints pk,
user_constraints fk
where
pk.constraint_name = fk.r_constraint_name
and pk.constraint_type='P'
and fk.constraint_type='R'

QSUF (Query string url filter) and SQL Server reporting services report viewer parameters

Hi,
this is my issue:
I have a SQL Server reporting services web part on a page with a report with 1 parameter, lets say it's a client list
Then i have a QSUF that will be used to filter the clients list through the URL
However, once i connect the filter and the report viewer web part, the parameter goes away and is no longer accessible
I'd like to somehow keep the parameter visible, in case there is no parameter sent through the URL, i would like the user to be able to choose a client from the parameter drop down list
I saw that there is a "send empty if no values are passed" option, but i can't seem to get this working properly and i don't know if this option will make the parameter visible again
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the query string url filter web part not worked well with SQL server reproting services web part.
Did you use the Wiki page layout in your environment?
You can change the page to a web part page, then check whether it work.
There is a similar thread for your reference.

APEX Listener 2.0 - RESTful Services Failure with 404 - Not Found

Versions used:
* APEX Listener 2.0.0.354.17.05
* Application Express 4.2.1.00.08
* Oracle Database 11.2.0.1
When testing the sample RESTful Service Module oracle.example.hr I always get 404 - Not Found page.
I followed the documentation to install and configure APEX 4.2 and the Listener 2.0. Everything in my APEX installation works fine except RESTful Services.
For example, when calling this RESTful Service:
http://company.com:45678/apex/DEV/xxuapex/hr/empinfo/
I get a 404 page.
The corresponding entry in url-mapping.xml is:
<pool base-path="/DEV" name="od01" workspace-id="xxuapex"/>
where xxuapex is the name of the schema as well as the workspace where the RESTful Service is installed.
Moreover, the corresponding od01.xml, od01_rt.xml and od01_al.xml in the conf directory seem correct.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Eddie Awad.

Hi Eddie,
+> try the other option base-url of the url-mapping+
I did. No change. Still getting 404.When active it should transform the 404 page into a detailed 404 with a description of what the error is. Just to be sure, this is activated in the defaults.xml file of the APEX Listener as: *<entry key="log.logging">true</entry>*.
You should then see a detailed 404 output in your browser of what's going wrong first of all.
+> Could you post your url-mapping.xml file?+
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pool-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/apex/pool-config">
<pool base-path="/DEV" name="od01" workspace-id="xxuapex"/>
<pool base-path="/TEST" name="ot01" workspace-id="xxuapex"/>
</pool-config>
Despite using the url mapping script, it didn't map mine correctly and had to edit it manually. It was the use of "apex" that got it to work for me:
*<pool base-path="/" name="apex" workspace-id="workspace-name-here" updated="2013-01-09T20:48:59.75Z"/>*

Is there a way to use REST service to query data from a forms collection?

I want to query and retrieve data from a SharePoint forms collection. I have a forms library that has multiple documents all being created using the same template.
I need to query and retrieve data from it using oData/ReST API.
I could see the /_vti_bin/listdata.svc and it seems I cannot get the forms data using this.
What will be the best approach?
Does that helps?

Hi,
Rest service is not available to retrieve the data in forms.
For this issue, the common workaround I know is to first populate the form fields as columns in form library, then retrieve the columns value instead. You can also use rest service in this way.
If it is not convenience this way, please provide more information about the scenario to get the data.

Getting Excel to interpret the return string of a WEBSERVICE() function using a WCF REST service.

I am using the WEBSERVICE() function in Excel and a WCF REST service is called through this function.
The web service returns a string value of true or false when invoked. E.g. <string xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">True</string>
This has been confirmed through debugging and it seems to be working fine when invoked through a client application or browser.
However, the result shown in the cell in the Excel sheet is #VALUE!. This particular cell has a custom format (set using the Format Cells ... option) that displays "Yes" or "No". (The
custom format is "Yes" ; "Yes" ; "No".) Is this the correct way of interpreting the results of a Web Service method called in Excel? Does a #VALUE! result actually imply a formatting issue or some other interpretation
error? Is there anything missing? Can somebody suggest ideas?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,

Hi Keith,
Have you used the formula FILTERXML(xml, xpath) function to extract single pieces of data from the XML string?
If not, please follow the blog below, the author will guide you to get data from Webservice.

Thank you,

I am experiencing the same issue.
I implemented the 'chunked file loading' example from Kris Rice's blog at Kris' blog: August 2013 in y workspace at the Oracle hosted APEX site and everything works fine.
However, I get a null value for 'data' when I implement the same example at my work site.
Work Site config is
Apache Tomcat 7
Oracle REST Data Services version : 2.0.6.27.18.06
Application Express 4.2.2.00.11
Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.3
I am NOT using SSL at my work site. However this does not seem to affect a POST with form values.
