PL/SQL web services from Office

I have created a basic PL/SQL web service using jdeveloper 10.1.2 and deployed it to an application server. Everything works. I would like to access it from visual studio. I was able to connect to an amazon web service from visual studio. I tried connecting to my oracle web service and got errors. I think it is having trouble finding the schema and wsdl (in http://hrconn. hrconn is also the name of my database connection in jdeveloper URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@lisdev5db:1521:dev5db10)).
The error message is
"custom tool error: unable to import webservice/schema. Unable to import binding TestWebServiceBinding from namespace 'http://hrconn/TestWebService.wsdl'. Unable to import operation 'getEmp2'. The datatype 'http://hrconn/TestWebService.xsd:hrconn_EmpRec2User' is missing."
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Carmen.

Hi Carmen,
No, Web services are not limited to a specific platform. In general, you can call a Web service hosted on any system from any other system, as long as you are carefull to keep your design within the known interoperable patterns.
Here, you are most likely missing the hostname/port of the server on which you have deployed your PL-SQL Web service.
The service endpoint URL should looks like http://host.domain:port/hrconn/TestWebService.wsdl (assuming that hrconn is the name of your project). The JDBC connection information is only used by the java process running on the middletier (oc4j) to access the database backend -lisdev5db in your case).
Hope it helps,
-Eric

Creating PL/SQL web services from PL/SQL records

Hello
Jdeveloper does not allow to create web services from pl/sql packages that use PL/SQL records.to do this,we have to use the jpublisher ?without using the jpublisher,if we create a webservice then the following error is displayed in the web service xml output file.

pl/sql web-services working successfully with object types.If we want to send the web-services to the client, do we need to send the entire folder that is created in the web-services folder of the external oc4j..?
Creating the client process:
we are using the wsdl file that is generated in the web-services and adding to the partner link to Invoke the operations of web-services. Is there any other way to invoke the webservices?Could any one please suggest me?

Hello
Accessing the pl/sql webservices from the application server:
I have created pl/sql webservice using the nested tables. This will insert the object data into database tables.after deplying the webservice into external oc4j, when I test the webservice locally with url: http://localmachine:8888/PL_SQL_WS-Nest_Obj_Webservice-context-root/ObjWebserviceSoapHttpPort
The above web-services working and I am able to insert into the database tables.
Same when I want to access through the application server, I have changed the wsdl file soap address as
<soap:address location="http://10.91.20.7:8888/PL_SQL_WS-Nest_Obj_Webservice-context-root/ObjWebserviceSoapHttpPort"/>
When I access this url, I am able to give the input data
http://10.91.20.7:8888/PL_SQL_WS-Nest_Obj_Webservice-context-root/ObjWebserviceSoapHttpPort
but the out from the web-service is:

I want to know the step ( and/or the code) to be able to do so
Here's what I have :
I want to call that :

It's suppose to return me a string.
I have the code to do it without the https part (easy!), but I want to have the way to do it https! :

Problem calling a web Service from BI Publisher (10.1.3.2 )

We have published a PL/SQL Web Service (from Jdeveloper 10.1.3 ) into a SOA Suite server.
As requirements from BI Publisher , we chose Document/Literal, SOAP 1.1.
The Program Unit accept an input parameter (we tried NUMBER & STRING)
The result is an XML formatted (PL/SQL functions returns a CLOB then converted as a String).
When testing the Service call from the SOA Suite console, no problems.
We declined a page with APEX to test this Web Service too : Test is OK
We added this web service as a data source in BI Publisher :
After typing WSDL URL, Method, Parameter
After testing , we do not get the XML result but an error message, coming from Apache AXIS (seems to be the DynamicInvoker) :
not know how to convert '50740' into org.apache.axis.client.Call@cd7fdb
Our demo is very near to this example : http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/11/01#a123
and the one from the BI Publisher documentation

I can't say I know the answer but I wanted to share a thought on debugging the issue. Like you I am seeing an axis error for a parameter on a web service I know works. I can call it using BPEL, SoapUI, etc... I suspect that perhaps BI pub is having trouble interpreting the WSDL for the web service. Specifically, I suspect that since I have imported schemas in the WSDL and nested imports in the supporting XSD files, the process is getting confused. The request message is fairly simple with three optional parameters but the WSDL does use an import via the WSDL. I wanted to share this since this problem often comes up with various tooling and I am lacking time to work out a test case to prove this theory out any time soon. I will try to post once I find some time to test this theory but it may be a while. Reading the results of someone else's test would be just as good!

The -dataSource parameter in assemble a web service from a PL/SQL package

When I use Web Service Assembler to assemble a Web Service from a PL/SQL package, I need to specify the dataSource parameter, e.g.:
java -jar wsa.jar -plsqlAssemble -sql pkgname -dataSource jdbc/MyDS -dbConnection ... -dbUser scott/tiger ....
The dataSource also needs to be pre-configured in the data-sources.xml in OC4J.
I am wondering why dataSource is needed here because the database connection information is already specified on the commandline ( dbConnection and dbUser).
If I have to specify dataSource, how do I configure data-sources.xml dynamically at run-time (e.g., adding entries)?
Thanks,
Jim

The -dataSource parameter specifies the data-sources.xml entry used at runtime. The database connection info is only for design time use. Typically you make sure data-sources.xml contains an entry with jndi-location of the same name you specifies for -dataSource. To configure data-sources.xml at runtime, it is out of the scope of web services. Please refer to OC4J admin guide. You can probably modify the data-sources.xml file and force OC4J to reconfigure based on the new data-sources.xml file.

Error while calling .svc web service from pl/sql using utl_dbws

Hello Folks,
I am calling a .svc web service from pl/sql using utl_dbws and encountering the following error
javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: The message with Action '' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. This may be because of either a contract mismatch (mismatched Actions between sender and receiver) or a binding/security mismatch between the sender and the receiver. Check that sender and receiver have the same contract and the same binding (including security requirements, e.g. Message, Transport, None).
Can you help me find what am I doing wrong?

Invoking Web Service From PL SQL package

Below is the sample code to invoke web service from pl/sql package using UTL_HTTP:
Declare
http_req UTL_HTTP.req;
http_resp UTL_HTTP.resp;
Begin
http_req :=
UTL_HTTP.begin_request
'http://'
|| lv_hosturl
-- || '.net/soa-infra/services/finance_rt/Payments/paymentsprocess_client_ep',
--new url
|| '.net/soa-infra/services/finance_rt/PaymentsReq/paymentsprocess_client_ep?WSDL',
'POST',
'HTTP/1.1'
UTL_HTTP.set_header (http_req, 'Content-Type', 'text/xml');
-- since we are dealing with plain text in XML documents
UTL_HTTP.set_header (http_req,
'Content-Length',
LENGTH (lv_soap_request)
UTL_HTTP.set_header (http_req, 'SOAPAction', '');
-- required to specify this is a SOAP communication
UTL_HTTP.write_text (http_req, lv_soap_request);
http_resp := UTL_HTTP.get_response (http_req);
UTL_HTTP.read_text (http_resp, lv_soap_respond);
UTL_HTTP.end_response (http_resp);
resp := XMLTYPE.createxml (lv_soap_respond);
End;

Hi,
there are a lot of option to make plsql web services .
First you can stay with jdev 10.1.3
Use the xmldb servlets
use jdev 11g tp4 to create plsql ws and upgrade to jdev 11g production
And I think in the next release of jdev it will be back , there are more options which disappeared like the adf bc sdo ws or jmx datacontrol etc.
thanks Edwin

Help calling a web service from pl/sql

Hi, i have a web service that is called from a php, i needed to do this but from pl sql:
this is the call of web service from php:
<?PHP
//Variables de prueba - Se tienen que tomar los valores de la base de datos, de la compra y el usuario
$p_id_emec=urlencode("33355555"); //Identificador del sitio dentro de Pago Fácil
$p_id_operacion=urlencode("151"); //Identificador unívoco de la compra en el sitio
$p_id_mone_ecom=urlencode("01"); //Identificador de moneda - '01'=pesos - '02=dolares
//Inicializa Variables de URL
$serviceName="Pago XX";
$protocol="http://";
// DESARROLLO
$ipUrl="desa.e-pagoxx.com";
$port=80;
//Llamada
$call="/2130/index.php";
//Abro la conexion al port
$URLsola = $protocol.$ipUrl;
//Concatenacion del string
$txtURL = $protocol.$ipUrl.$call;
$txtURL .="?p_id_emec=".$p_id_emec;
$txtURL .="&p_id_operacion=".$p_id_operacion;
$txtURL .="&p_id_mone_ecom=".$p_id_mone_ecom;
$txtURL = $txtURL;
//* Se comunica con el servidor, pasa los datos y recibe el HTML con el comprobante *//
$fp = fsockopen($ipUrl, $port, &$errno, &$errstr, 30);
if(!$fp)
echo "No me puedo comunicar con $serviceName";
exit;
else
$file=@fopen($URLsola,"r");
$pageData=file($txtURL);
for($i=0;$i<count($pageData);$i++)
          $sText.=$pageData[$i];
@fclose($file);
@fclose($fp);
echo($sText);
?>
I need to call this webservice from pl sql
any ideas?
thanks!!

Calling web services from PL/SQL

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to call a web services from PL/SQL.
I believe we have a PL/SQL API that allows you to consume external web services.
I was looking for other possible options too to consume web Service from PL/SQL.
Can any one suggest the other possible options , and which option is best to consume web service.
Thanks
AB

AB,
I didn't realize you cannot attach documents to your post. You will have to provide me with an email address that I can send the documents to. They are a little rough (ie not commented etc) but they do illustrate the point. The basic idea is to build up the payload of the soap envelope using pl/sql. Meaning as I loop through the cursor I use each record in the cursor to build an xml string. This string of xml becomes the payload of the soap message. This could also be done using xml functionality provided by the db meaning xmlelement, xmlforest etc. The issue I ran into was the size of the message. That is why I elected to build the xml message by string concatenation as I moved through the cursor.
