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.
Best regards, Sjoerd

Use single realm for multiple web applciation in sharepoint 2013 and adfs 2.0

Use single realm for multiple web applciation in sharepoint 2013 and adfs 2.0
Please help!!

I dont think you can do this, because you have to name/url of the web application in realm. You have to add new realm for each web application.here is script to add another realm.
Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"
$sts = Get-SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer | where {$_.Name -eq "ADFS2.0"}
$uri = new-object System.Uri("http://url/")
$sts.ProviderRealms.Add($uri, "urn:sharepoint:Name")
$sts.Update();

Is it possible to define multiple web services in one project?

I'd like to publish multiple components within one project as web services. but when I try to create it using the project New menu, it only prompts me and allows me to select one component . So does this mean only one web service can exist in one project?

Sunil
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I think I should have worded my question more clearly.
I have a project with multiple Java classes. I'd like to convert two of them into web services.
There are two ways to co this.
1. I right click on each class and select the Generate J2EE Web Service option. This will work correctly and allow multiple web services to be generated.
but this is not what I want to do .
What we are trying to do is to generate web services at the project level. I am following instructions in OTN web services tutorial :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/ws/wsandascontrol.htm
So , this is what I do :
1. Right-click on my project and select New from the context menu.
2. In the New Gallery, expand Business Tier in the Categories list and select Web Services, then select Java Web Service from the Items list. Click OK.
3. In the Select J2EE Web Service Version dialog, select J2EE 1.4 (JAX-RPC) Web Service, then click OK.
4. Click past the welcome page
5. This brings me to the page where I can select the web service and class.
This is where I am stuck - it seems I can only select one web service here . Unless I am missing something.
Or should I just repeat the process multiple times - running the wizard once for each class ?
Thanks for the help.

Multiple web service calls - Split message,1 WS call for each message

Friends,
We have designed a BPM which will pick the files, make web service call and merge these message structures and map them to the target.
We have to modify this design as follows,
We have to split the message based on purchase order number, meaning one message for each order number and then we need to make a web service call for each of them,after we get all the responses we will merge the files using transformation. (merging files and transformation is already taken care, its the web service part which iam looking for)
Thanks in advance for all your help/ideas.

Friends,
Can you please help me out with this logic? Thanks!

Combine multiple web services with the same SQL query into one

Hello,
I would like to ask a question regarding combine multiple similar web services into one. Can you please tell me if it is possible to combine 4-5 web services into one since they built on the same SQL query with 5 different criterias or condition so that the user can enter any of the 5 criterias to populate the data on the form instead of having 5 different web services?
e.g Query: Select appName, permit#, address, phone, description, type, section, from table where appName = can be 'appName, permit#, address, phone, or description' to populate the rest of the data to the form.
Does any one have ever done some thing like this in Workbench ES? If so please assist. I know it can be easier to build it in Visual Basic, C#, or dot.net but the requirement is to build it in workbench ES.
Thanks in advance,
Han Dao

If you are querying for Name, PhoneNumber, and SSN, and you queried for all people with a phone number that started with 867, you would have a potentially long list of people. So to keep track of all of the people, we store each record in XML complex elements. The root node is just any name you want, and the repeating element is the complex element name.
So using the example from above, I'm going to specify the following:
     Root Node: Result
     Repeating Element: Person
So now when I do a query, my resultXML will look like:
<Result>
      <Person>
             <Name>Alex</Name>
             <PhoneNumber>867-5309</PhoneNumber>
             <SSN>111-11-1111</SSN>
      </Person>
</Result>
If your query returned multiple results (like ours would probably), it would look like:
<Result>
      <Person>
             <Name>Alex</Name>
             <PhoneNumber>867-5309</PhoneNumber>
             <SSN>111-11-1111</SSN>
      </Person>
      <Person>
             <Name>Han</Name>
             <PhoneNumber>867-2169</PhoneNumber>
             <SSN>222-22-2222</SSN>
      </Person>
</Result>
So Result and Person is just to give a little bit of structure to the xml result (containers really). So you can name them whatever is helpful for you.
The column name mappings map the query columns (Name, PhoneNumber, SSN) to some node in the XML (Name, PhoneNumber, SSN). So you don't need to specify which field maps to what in the form. Just copy the column names to the element name so you have a 1-to-1 naming. If you want to manipulate the XML a bit though, you could do:
Column Name               Element
Name                            YourName
PhoneNumber                Phone
SSN                              Secret
which would then make your xml look like:
<Result>
      <Person>
             <YourName>Alex</YourName>
             <Phone>867-5309</Phone>
             <Secret>111-11-1111</Secret>
      </Person>
</Result>
It lets you change the XML element names to whatever you want. Otherwise by default they take on their column names.
In your form, you could bind to the WSDL through the Data Connections pane and point it to your web service. This will then create form elements that you can just drag and drop allowing you to have the information available when the service gets ran. Once the service is called, you can modify the field's data to get whatever information you need in order to populate other form fields.
If that is too confusing, feel free to send me your form (e-mail is on profile page) and I'll add comments to it to show you how to set up the form for the web service call (and also give me the link to your webservice)

Best Practice for Securing Web Services in the BPEL Workflow

What is the best practice for securing web services which are part of a larger service (a business process) and are defined through BPEL?
They are all deployed on the same oracle application server.
Defining agent for each?
Gateway for all?
BPEL security extension?
The top level service that is defined as business process is secure itself through OWSM and username and passwords, but what is the best practice for security establishment for each low level services?
Regards
Farbod

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.

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.

Farbod

Certificate error while connecting to multiple web service

I am having a web service test client through which I can connects and get reports from multiple web services.
In Development unix box, we are using "self-signed certificate" using keystore type JKS. In Production server, we are using certificate from CA.
The web service is running in Development and in Production.
Now I have developed single test client with a drop down selection for different web services. For example, if we select "Development", the request will go the development web service and if we select "Production", the request will go to Production web service.
Now while connecting to Develpment service, we are settings the below certificates details Because we are using the self signed certificate.
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore",keyStoreFileLocation);
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword",keyStorePassword);
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType", keyStoreType);
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType",trustStoreType);
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",trustStoreFileLocation);
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword",trustStorePassword);
I am clearing the System properties using the System.clearProperty() while pointing to Production service. because in Production we are using the CA certificate from Thawte so these details are not required at all and our JRE (java 5) is pre configured to support that CA certificate.
I am using Resin-2.1.12, axis1.2 and java5.
Now the problem is
(1) for the first time, when I send the request to Production Service URL, the report gets generated. For the next time when we are running against Development, it's giving below certificate error.
sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
(2) Now restart resin and run the test client against Developemnt service URL, here report gets generated and for the next time, run the test client against Production, it's giving the certificate error.
So for the 2nd request, it always gives the error irrespective of the web service instance selected.
Please suggest ....thanks in advance.

Hi ,
No, due to the issue is happening only on one computer.
The error "(401) Unauthorized" usually indicates that the connection has been established but the permission check fails. InfoPath Form Services uses the application pool identity of the web
application to connect to resources.
Does the account which login the computer have permission to connect to User Profile Service Application?
For a workaround, you can go to IIS Manager , set the User Profile Application Pool to Anonymous Access and try again.
Also you can have a look at the blog:

XI for create web servicies for SAP R/3 4.6C

Hi All,
we are implementing PM (Plant Management) module of SAP R/3 4.6C and we have the necessity to create web services for some PM functionalities. Infact we need to integrate our SAP R/3 4.6C with other applications (non-SAP) through TIBCO (it's mandatory). So we think to use SAP XI. Moreover our users don't want to use SAP GUI for the accessing to the PM functionalities but they want an UI more friendly. So we think to use SAP EP.
Which is your opinion about this architectural scenario? Is it possible to fulfil the requirement of our business users with a more simple architectural solution (for example with WEB DYNPRO)?
Many thanks in advance for your collaboration.
Regards,
Bob

Infact we need to integrate our SAP R/3 4.6C with other applications (non-SAP) through TIBCO (it's mandatory). So we think to use SAP XI.
TIBCO is another middleware. So once you expose your R/3 functionalities as web service, you may directly use TIBCO to integrate and XI won't be required at all.
Moreover our users don't want to use SAP GUI for the accessing to the PM functionalities but they want an UI more friendly.
WebDynpro application would provide you an easy GUI and could act as Soap client as well to send data.

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..

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.

Multiple Web Services in one Jdeveloper project

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to implement a series of web services, all relating to one application. I'm using the top-down approach, where I generate the web service from a WSDL file, and add my implementation to the generated classes. The WSDL file imports all sorts of XML Schemas (xsd-files) and Jdeveloper correctly generates all the necessary java-classes for me. Lets call the first web service I create WS-1.
This all works fine and I'm a happy panda. I can call the web service, it works, I can modif the wsdl and regenerate the web service to e.g. change the input etc. All this works.
Just until the point where I want to create a second web service (lets call this WS-2). This new web service doesn't use all the XML Schemas that the first web service does, it is more simple with regards to in-/output. The problem arises when I modify WS-2 and Jdeveloper regenerates the Web service files (.java and the files in the WEB-INF/wsdl-directory). When I do this, it deletes the imported xsd-files that WS-1 uses (removes them from WEB-INF/wsdl).
And when I regenerate WS-1 to get my xsd-files in again, then when I regenerate WS-2 it imports all the unnecessary xsd-files into the wsdl for WS-2.
Something tells me, that there is a connection or shared library between all web services in one Jdeveloper project. That they all imports and uses the xsd-files in WEB-INF/wsdl.
Is this true? Can't I have multiple web services (and wsdl-files) using different types (schema definitions) in the the same Jdeveloper project?
One solution I can think of, is to have all my web services in different projects under the same application. But is this really necessary?
I'm using Jdeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.

Hi,
pure from a coder instinct I think I would prefer them to be in separate projects for better reuse and clean separation. If I need project 1 to access aclass from Project 2, I can check the dependency check box in the project properties. Is there any business requirement that makes you think having all of these in a single project will help ?
Frank
Btw.: I agree that JDeveloper shouldn't constraint developers from doing what they want and if this is a limitation the feel free to file a bug

Pros & Cons for consuming web services in ABAP using ABAP PROXY

Hi,
Other then performence is there any other disadvantages like security,etc for consuming web services in ABAP using ABAP proxy?
I really appreciate if some one provide the more details(Pros & Cons ) regarding cosuming web services and I also want to know is there any other way to consume web services in ABAP.
Thanks.

<i> is there any other way to consume web services in ABAP</i>
you can use cl_http_client class to make your program to act as http client and post the soap message too webservice. This way you dont need to generate proxy, but you should know the soap message format.
