Passing XML String via HTTP Sender

Hello everyone,
currently we try to find a solution on the following requirement - maybe you have useful advice for us:
8 different business documents can be sent via a web-interface to SAP XI via the http sender adapter. We already have a customized JCo Class that takes only one input parameter (containining the XML string of the business document).
I think the easiest way would be to receive the XML string from the web-interface and pass it directly on to the JCo-Class in a Java Mapping.
Is it possible to create a generic message type for all 8 types of XML documents that contains just one element holding the XML as string? By doing so we could use the same URL for all 8 different XML types and pass it directly on as input paramenter to the JCo Class.
Do you have any idea how to do this?
Thank you very much.

Does the HttpURLConnection conn send the string along with the headerYes.

How do I read the XML string using Http response/request?

When my HTTP POST action is perform, the action will return me a XML string as shown in the link, https://www.neteller.com/gateway/netdirectv4.cfm?amount=150.00&net_account=458415554241&secure_id=896365&bank_acct_num=6789&currency=USD&merchant_id=1234&merch_transid=1102&merch_account=john123&custom_1=test123&custom_2=test123&custom_3=test123&test=1
The above XML string will be send back by one of the payment gateway.
How do I retrieve all the attribute name and value from the XML string so that it can be stored in my database?

RuleSet returns the same xml string what I send from webdynpro project

Hello,
I made an webdynpro application which invokes the RuleSet in BRM project by calling invoke rulset method with 4 parameters e.g. Project name, ruleset name, xmlstring, and rule engine.
I guess in project name, and ruelset there is no problem.
xmlString made dynamically picking values from webdynpro UI elements. which is
[<tns:Insurance xmlns:tns="http://www.example.org/Insurance" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.org/Insurance BasePremiumCalculation.xsd ">

   <tns:TypeClass>19</tns:TypeClass>
   <tns:AreaCode>R9</tns:AreaCode>
   <tns:BasePremium></tns:BasePremium>
</tns:Insurance>
I need to get the premium by giving first 4 element of the above xml string.
After calling the invokeRuleSet method returns the same xmlString as an output.
Can any body help me??

Signing or securing XML sent via https

Hi there,
I have designed a form which uses Javascript to submit XML via https to a server. The https provides the appropriate transport level security, but is there a way to sign or encrypt the xml sent using Javascript?
Thanks!

Hi Paul,
Is there a way that I can sign the content for a single pdf? I would just like to secure the submission of the XML using a single encryption method even though several different clients will use the pdf for submission purposes.
Also, I have placed a normal button on the form and written Javascript on the click method of the button which validates the form (according to the business logic which I need to perform) and then, upon successful validation, submit the form using this command:
event.target.submitForm({cURL
: URL, cSubmitAs:"XML"});
The submission works using Reader 8, but can I add a cert or some security mechanism into the submitForm method to help ensure the validity of the XML content?
Thx.

Send XML Message via HTTP and Receive Response

Hello,
We have a scenario where we need to update Currency Exchange Rates in R/3 via a 3rd party called Oanda. I'd like to use XI for this Interface, if possible.
Basically, we need to send XML over HTTP. Here's the URL and the XML we need to use for our POST (I'll need to perform the look-up for about 15 currency codes - I plan on using a BPM process to loop through each currency code specified in a flat file):
http://www.oanda.com/cgi-bin/fxml/fxml?fxmlrequest=<CONVERT><CLIENT_ID>TestAccount1</CLIENT_ID><EXCH>USD</EXCH><EXPR>CAD</EXPR><DATE>03/25/2008</DATE></CONVERT>
And the reponse looks like this:
<RESPONSE>
<EXPR>CAD</EXPR>
<EXCH>USD</EXCH>
<AMOUNT>1</AMOUNT>
<NPRICES>1</NPRICES>
<CONVERSION>
    <DATE>Mon, 24 Mar 2008 20:00:00 GMT</DATE>
    <ASK>1.0257</ASK>
    <BID>1.0251</BID>
</CONVERSION>
</RESPONSE>
I plan on mapping each reponse to BAPI_EXCHRATE_CREATEMULTIPLE, using BPM.
So my question is this: Should I use the HTTP adapter for the out going POST to Oanda? If so, would the HTTP adapter be consider the sender or the receiver? Also, how would the XML message be automatically appended to the end of the URL (i.e., after the fxmlrequest parameter)? I guess I'm a little confused on how to use the HTTP adapter... Are there any blogs that discuss this type of scenario?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi guys,
I have few concerns for setting up this scenario.
1). I have created a data type for request mapping, and teste the mapping.
The output looks like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns1:MT_CONVERT xmlns:ns1="http://test.com/ExchngRate">
   <CONVERT>
     <CLIENT_ID>test</CLIENT_ID>
     <EXPR>CAD</EXPR>
     <EXCH>USD</EXCH>
     <DATE>10/21/2009</DATE>
     <AMOUNT>1</AMOUNT>
   </CONVERT>
</ns1:MT_CONVERT>
How to pass only
<CONVERT>
     <CLIENT_ID>test</CLIENT_ID>
     <EXPR>CAD</EXPR>
     <EXCH>USD</EXCH>
     <DATE>10/21/2009</DATE>
     <AMOUNT>1</AMOUNT>
   </CONVERT>
to the receiver HTTP adapter.
2) I am using URL address in the receiver HTTP adapter.
Target Host: www.oanda.com
Path Prefix: cgi-bin/fxml/fxml?fxmlrequest=
What is will be Service Number?
Looking forward for you help. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Namadev

How to pass XML payload to HTTP POST Service.

Hi All,
I am calling a RestFul service using Http Post method.
If the payload type is "url-encoded" then my directly assignment of values using assign activity is working fine.
But when i change the payload type to "xml" , It's erroring out saying the value is not provided for the parameters..
You can also try this using below details to reproduce the issue.

Namespace in XML Payload for HTTP Sender

Hello,
I have just configured my snychronous HTTP <--> RFC Scenario. When I want to test it with some XML payload in the HTTP testing tool I get a mapping runtime exception.
After some investigation using the test tab in the message mapping I realized that missing namespace in the XML payload caused the error. I tried to add manually a namespace to the XML and then it worked
This is very strange I though that the namespace of the sender interface is automatically added to the XML payload?
Do you have any information on this?

Hi,
U need to copy the payload from Message mapping test message tab and use that payload.
or u can use the HTTP test client for testing the same.
sample HTML code to create HTTP Client:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/66dadc6e-0a01-0010-9ea9-bb6d8ca48cc8
You can also use the Wfetch application by Microsift for the same..

Send xml with HTTP Sender

How can I send a xml via HTTP Sender from a Visual Basic 6.0 application? Do I have to use an ActiveX Control to send the HTTP Request with the XML as payload?
Thanks in advance,
Ruben.

Ruben,
You need to create your interface objects in the integration repository and setup your interfase using SOAP adapter in the integration directory.
After that you'll need to publish a webservice using the integration builder objects that you have already created.
Mount the WSDL into a web server and try to implement a webservice call into your VB application to invoke the WS.

Creating XML string to be pushed into a JMS queue

Hello All
I am trying to pass the following XML string into a sender obj, however, I am not sure how it is supposed to be done, with the right escape sequencing.
message.setText("<rawData><Name="Mike"></Name><Value="200"></rawData>");
Please guide me.
Thanks,
AJ

Login User should have the Admin privilege, Otherwise it is not possible to post data manually into the JMS Queue.
Log into weblogic Console > click on JMS Module > <select the JMSModule where the Queue resides : e.g SOAJMSModule> >Select the Queue > Monitoring > Check the Box > click on "Show Message" > New > Post the data in "Body" section.
Or, you can create another BS in OSB, pointing to that JMS Queue(using Input.xsd) . then execute the BS using your Input.xml

Using ADFS authentication to perform SSO via HTTP GET request

Hi,
Can i authenticate users (those users are clients, at home) to a web application using ADFS without SAML tokens?
The situation is that i want the clients to perform SSO to the website via a link they receive in their mailboxes.
I thought about a solution that combines JWT in a URL link that each user will get to his private mail. this link will contain the users' claim (such as ID Num, given from AD DS Server dedicated especially for them).
Thus, the user will receive an email with a link that already contains a short period of time JWT to perform SSO to the webapp.
Is it possible ? anybody heard about a similar solution ?

Currently i have some data in ABAP structure with 5 fields, i need to create XML from the those 5 fields,and needs to be URI
encode it, and then needs to make a HTTP get request to connect Where to Get It REST API, finally it will return XML document via HTTP Get request , and then needs to convert the return XML to ABAP structure for further processing .the above 4 points will be implemented in my report.

How to send XML via HTTPS in Servlet

I am new to Java. I need to make a servlet which can send a message via HTTPS with a content type of XML to another web server when it is called. each msg is proceeded with a header in the following format:
requestID=rid&userID=uid&password=mypd
and a detail information in XML:
<S_Request>
<requestControllID>1-rf200</requestControlID>
<zipCode>99012</zipCode>
<orderQuantity>35</orderQuantity>
</S_Request>
I have basic idea of how to send an http post with parameter string by using the Redirect function but don't know how to deal with the XML detail. Any one has idea about this? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

This is what I did for one of my projects;
String myXML = "all the xml tags and fields";
URL url = new URL("https://www.somesite.com");
HttpsURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStream outXML = connection.getOutputStream();
outXML.write(myXML.getBytes());
I think you can add the requestID and all to the begining of the string myXML
Good luck

HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: String index out of range: -7

All -
I'm new to consuming web services in JDeveloper. I'm using Oracle JDEV 10.1.3.3/OC4J. I'm using this version since it is compatible with Oracle EBS 12.1.3. My intent is to pull data from our third party recruitment app (Success Factors) and load that data into Oracle HRIS. I'm already doing this through a .NET application. I'm converting it to be a Java Concurrent Program in EBS. The code listed below is a stub call to verify I'm on the right track. I created a JDeveloper Web Services proxy project. I'm testing it locally on my windows desktop. When I'm able to consume the service successfully, then I'll think about moving it to the EBS server.
I'm getting the following error when I invoke the following service:
HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: String index out of range: -7

The other end is throwing back a programming error.
That might be because you are sending incorrect data and the other end fails to validate it.
You might be able to guess based on your C# code. But, since you are using soap one generic solution is available to you.
- Get an http proxy interceptor like wireshark.
- Run it while your C# app runs, collect the http requests from that.
- Run it while running your java code, collect the http requests from that.
Compare the two.

All comments will be appreciated!!

Hi, thanks for your reply i knew the FileUplaod was the way forward.
I read topics advising to use the FileUpload and tried the following but it did not seem to work ( i get an HTTP Internal Server error when i try that):
try
DiskFileUpload upload = new DiskFileUpload();
boolean isMultipart = FileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
if( isMultipart )
List items = upload.parseRequest( request );
Iterator iter = items.iterator();
while( iter.hasNext() )
FileItem fileItem = ( FileItem ) iter.next();
File uploadedFile = new File("myreceivedfile.zip");
fileItem.write( uploadedFile );
}catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("RECEIVER: " + e.getMessage());
Also DiskFileUpload,isMultipartContent and parseRequest have a line going through the middle (horizontal middle).

How to pass XML tags in a soapbody parameter having datatype as string?

Hi,
I need to pass XML tags as a String parameter in SOAP:Body.
When I tried send SOAP Request, The SOAP Request was changing < to <
and > to > respectively. Is there any way to ensure that the XML tags (< and >) remain as it is without getting changed.
I also tried to retrieve XML file and stored in a StringBuffer and tried to send SOAP Request but i am still receiving the < and > tags in my SOAP Request.
Pl suggest some alternatives to avoid storing the XML in the form of string and instead directly store the XML into a XML Node so that i can avoid the above condition
Thanks in advance,
gnsinhyd

Hi,
The sample code I used is as follows:
package somepackage;
import javax.mail.internet
import javax.xml.messaging.*;
import javax.xml.soap.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.activation.*;
public class SomeClassName{
// Some namespace declarations
public static void main(String[] args) throws someExceptions{
try
// Create the connection
SOAPConnectionFactory connectionFactory = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
SOAPConnection connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
// create a new SOAP message using SAAJ API�s
MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
SOAPMessage request = messageFactory.createMessage();
// Create a SoapAction header
MimeHeaders headers = request.getMimeHeaders();
headers.addHeader("SOAPAction", "soapaction url");
// Object for SOAP Message parts
SOAPPart part = request.getSOAPPart();
SOAPEnvelope envelope = part.getEnvelope();
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("xsd","http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("xsi","http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
//envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("enc","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/");
envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration("soap","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelop/");
//envelope.setEncodingStyle("http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/");
SOAPBody body = envelope.getBody();
SOAPHeader header = envelope.getHeader();
// Now, build the ClaimStorage element in the body for our request
Name somename = envelope.createName("somename");
// � and configure it with the specifics of our request
SOAPElement ClaimStorage = body.addTextNode("somename");
ClaimStorage.addNamespaceDeclaration("xmlns","url");
ClaimStorage.addChildElement(somename).addTextNode("somename");
ClaimStorage.addChildElement(xmlclaim).addTextNode("<XMLTAGS">); <---THE PROBLEM IS HERE
----> THE XML TAGS < > ARE CHANGING TO &LT; AND &GT; MOST PROBABLY DUE TO POST I THINK.
// Save Message
request.saveChanges();
// View SOAP Request
System.out.println("\n Soap Request:\n");
request.writeTo(System.out);
System.out.println();
// Now, create a connection to the HTTP SOAP endpoint
URLEndpoint endpoint = new URLEndpoint("url.asmx");
// Send request, view response. In a real program, we�d process the response envelope programmatically to see if there was a fault, etc.
System.out.println("request =\n" + request);
SOAPMessage response = connection.call(request, endpoint);
// View the output
System.out.println("\nXML Response\n");
// Create Transformer
TransformerFactory tff = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer tf = tff.newTransformer();
// Get reply content
Source sc = response.getSOAPPart().getContent();
System.out.println("SOAP Body" + response.getSOAPBody());
// Set output transformation
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
tf.transform(sc, result);
System.out.println();
// Close connection
connection.close();
System.out.println("\nResponse =\n" + response);
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Pl. reply as soon as possible
Thanks in advance
