Possible in ERP 6.0 for Web Service without PI(XI) Engine

Hi,
We are planning to upgrade our SAP 4.63 to ERP 6.0. We expect to use web services for interfaces with ancillary systems. SAP recommend us to purchase PI(XI) engine.
Can anybody help to answer my question below:
1. Without PI(XI), ERP 6.0 Web services can call and be called by other systems directly?
2. With PI(XI), what's the benefit?
Very appreciate your help.
Thanks
Mr FU

1. Without PI(XI), ERP 6.0 Web services can call and be called by other systems directly?
Without PI (XI), ERP 6.0 can call other web services and still be called from other systems directly.
2. With PI(XI), what's the benefit?
With PI (XI) 7.1, you would have an Enterprise Service Repository (ESR). This would serve as a central repository for your services and improves overall governance. Consuming web services from PI 7.1 can be monitored via the message monitoring. Asynchronous web services call can also be restarted in the PI system if the web service call fails.

Building client proxies for web services with SOAP attachemtns

Hi all.
I'm currently building a series of web services that take SOAP attachments as
input, but I am unable to generate the java proxies for testing the services via
WebLogic Workshop 8.1. When I attempt to build the proxy, I get the following
error:
Warning: Failed to generate client proxy from WSDL definition for this service.
Suggestion: Please verify the <types> section of the WSDL.
Is there something I need to alter to get this to work, or does workshop not support
client proxies for web services with DataHandler parameters?
Thanks.
-Brian

Thanks for the help. This is my first web service with SOAP attachments, so it
may have been a long time till I realized that.

Thanks Brian,
The problem is that you are trying to use the "document" soap-style :-)
If you change this to "rpc", you'll should be able to successfully generate
the
client proxy jar. The soap-style property, is at the bottom of the "protocol"
property sheet section, for the JWS.

Custom Token For web services security

How can I implement a token based security for web services? I will return a
custom token which contains a session-id among others after a JAAS
authnetication. I want to pass this token for every web service invokation.
I want the serverside EJB methods to be authorized based the roles in token.
Any ideas or pointers on the possible solutions?
Thanks,
Vish

This isn't a straight FORM Post as in the http binding support in WSDL. It posts
a soap message.
It's apparent that Workshop supports form-post and form-get.
But I dont see how it is done with straight WebLogic webservices. Does WebLogic
server read the web-services.xml or the WSDL file? I dont see a way to put in
http-post binding in the former and in the latter it seems to be ignored.
Can someone clarify.

About XML Parameter for Web Service invoking

I would like to use the XML parameter as the Web Service's input(Attachment is
the XML schema) in WebLogic Server 8 sp1. When I generated the Web Service and
use the WebLogic Server generate test web page to test it, I got Exception. The
WebLogic Server can't constructe the input XML.
The correct XML should look like this:
<ids>
<desc>Description</desc>
<id>1</id>
<id>2</id>
<id>3</id>
</ids>
Is there any one can tell me whether this kind of XML was permitted for Web Service
invoking or not?
[sample.xsd]

Hi Andy,
On the test page, before the invoke of the operation, did it say
something like:

if so, the service itself may be working OK, the deficiency is that the
test page tries its best to determine sample values for the invoke,
however it does not know in this case.
Did you try with a client?
Your XML should be fine.

Bruce

A<general> It does not appear that there are any separate logs for web services.
There is knex.log file that records the errors that occur during deployment of
your .jws files. There is also the standard server log that provides information
about server status - you can write to this programmatically if you wish. There
is also the access.log file which record all the HTTP requests so this might cover
some of your web service requests that are transmitted over HTTP.

Invalid Content Type Error for Web Service

Hi Experts,
We have a XI / PI Web Service, and have created an Adaptive Web Service Model for the same. For using this web service model, we have created a HTTP destination of type WSDL.
This configuration works great in our development and consolidation server.
While working with our production server, with all the settings same as consolidation server, the following error is generated for Web Service call. using the AWS model
java.io.IOException: Invalid content type while requesting http://<host>:<port>/webdynpro/resources/<application_package>/guicall.wsdl. Expected Content-type: text/xml, received Content-type: content/unknown, used user to connect: null
The HTTP destination address is the one specified in bold above.
Also, in later part of the stack trace we are bale to see this error:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.exception.WSModelRuntimeException: Exception on creation of service metadata for WS metadata destination
Please guide us on this issue.
Best Regards,
Alka.

Hi Alka,
How did you configure the Webservice Destinations in Visual Admin for a webservice explosed by XI system.
I mean what was the URL specified, did you specify XI SYSTEM userid password ???
How was the webservice published to inspection.wsil in XI system ??
Thanks,

Could not generate stub objects for web service invocation in ColdFusion

I was able to call the services on the development box - windows server without any problem at all, everything was working fine but the moment i uploaded to a linux box production server I get this error. "Could not generate stub objects for web service invocation in ColdFusion"
What could be the cause of this problem, i have googled a lot but no solution yet any ideas.

Let me make it simple:
1. Server A is our development server.- hosted inhouse with coldfusion installed.
2. Server B is our production server - a linux server with coldfusion installed hosted on the internet
3. Server C is a third party server containing the webservice - this is a windows server with .net
coldfusion is installed on Server A, the code works here and can connect to server C without any problem. It gets the required respone
but when the code was uploaded to server c it gives the error when we run it.
now i tried just a simple code which works fine on server A below:
<cfinvoke webservice="http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL" method="ConversionRate" returnvariable="ConversionRateResult">
    <cfinvokeargument name="FromCurrency" value="EUR" />
    <cfinvokeargument name="ToCurrency" value="USD" />
</cfinvoke>
<cfdump var="#ConversionRateResult#" />
But when i uploaded it to server C: it returns the error
Cannot generate stub objects for web service invocation.
Name: http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL. WSDL: http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL. java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/coldfusion8/stubs/WS728929035/NET/webserviceX/www/Currency.java (No such file or directory) It is recommended that you use a web browser to retrieve and examine the requested WSDL document to ensure it is correct. If the requested WSDL document cannot be retrieved or is dynamically generated, it is likely that the target web service has programming errors.
The error occurred in /home/works/public_html/currency.cfm: line 7
5 :     <cfinvokeargument name="FromCurrency" value="EUR" />
6 :
7 :     <cfinvokeargument name="ToCurrency" value="USD" />
8 :
9 : </cfinvoke>
Now if you try the preceeding code on a windows environment it works fine but the moment you put in the in the linux environment it generates this error
I feel that the error may actually be :
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/coldfusion8/stubs/WS728929035/NET/webserviceX/www/Currency.java (No such file or directory)
but i am clueless as to what to do next
Ok so I tried the wget command on the linux
this is what i got
-bash-3.2# wget http://www.webservicesx.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WDSL

Does Websphere(WAS) V3.5 has support for web services ??

Hi all,
Please let me know whether Websphere Application Server V3.5 supports Web Services. If any one has used it for V3.5 then please let me know.
Thanks
-Satyendra

I suppose not, as out of the box.
If you look into the classpath and the lib directories, there are no traces of any support for Web-Services.
However, you can set up the environment to do so, It seems to be easy to handle.
Cheers, and keep posting your progress.

XML really that crucial for Web Services?

No doubt Web Services are here to stay. I've tried to learn about them by reading different sites on the internet. But so far, I've only been able to read positive praises of XML. Such as the buck-a-car system. However, I'm interested in some of the negatives of XML. I want to know where XML will NOT work and is discouraged. Only be considering the negatives and limitations can I understand whether XML is appropriate for my system. (e.g., is XML good for database-to-database communications?)
When I look at the average XML file, there is so much overhead such as the DTD and descriptive XML tags. If one XML file was used to store a lot of information, it would be acceptable. But if I were to say, write a chat program, it doesn't seem wise to send an XML file for each sentence/letter typed.
And if I wanted to synchronize two databases through the internet, wouldn't it be faster to just send each record as a stream of bytes and have the other database parse that? Instead of converting the record to XML and back.
Or if I was communicating between the server and an applet, should I convert all requests into XML even though I am well aware of the format of the applet?
I personally see XML being used in only a small number of applications such as an initial handshaking process before communications.
I know it must be because I have a lack of understanding. If anyone has comments or even agrees, your feedback is more than welcome.

Well of course XML is crucial for Web Services, because the messages they pass back and forth are in XML format. (Of course that's only for the current buzzword "Web Services", some of us have been producing Web Services where the messages are in e-mail format for years now.) You're right, using XML for everything is stupid. And if you control both ends of the conversation, you can talk in any language you like, and you probably should. But if you want to talk to large numbers of people, and you don't want to limit what kind of data you might send, then you need a standard framework to do that, and XML is it. That doesn't mean that XML will replace SMTP or any other existing standard format, just that it's likely to be widely used in the future for sending generalized data between systems.
