POST - RESTful Service to insert a row

Hello,
How can We utilize Post method in APEX RESTful ?
I would like to insert a row (contact details) into the database from a form on a STATIC / Standalone HTML page.
I found this example, but I have no idea how to accomplish my objective ?

Hi Faraz,
You have several options:
In any APEX application, go to Shared Components / Web Service References. Here you can define a reference to a RESTful web service from the same Cloud service and specify POST or PUT method (among others).
Some browsers have plug-ins that implement REST web service clients (for example, "Advanced REST client" for Chrome).
You can also use command line tools like wget and curl.

Oracle APEX PUT web service inserts null value into column. This is either a bug or the documentation does not properly cover how to correctly set PUT restful services.

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.

Yes, it failed during insert using AL2.0.1.
So the above statement produces the following error message:

Note how the error is reported to be a column 74 on line 2, yet line 2 of the above block should only have 58 characters, so at a pure guess somehow there's extra whitespace on line 2, that is confusing the PL/SQL compiler, I suggest re-typing the PL/SQL handler manually and seeing if that cures the problem.

Using Native Oracle XML DB Web Services - REST POST web service possible?

My goal is to expose some pl/sql procedures as a REST web services.
The Database is 11gR2
The request method needs to be a POST (not GET as a request will perform insert/updates ) - the request body will contain a xml structure
Have setup XMLDB Database-native Web Services as per
11g documentation "Using Native Oracle XML DB Web Services"
It seems this setup support only SOAP requests!?
RESTful webservice with GET is (sort of) supported using
Embedded PL/SQL Gateway as describer here:
http://ora-00001.blogspot.com/2009/07/creating-rest-web-service-with-plsql.html
Although no support for POST
Obviously the post is from 2009 so just want to know if anything changed since.
Has anyone found a way to expose pl/sql procedures using XML DB or other approach as a REST POST web services?
(As the relative low number of calls/hour and also the aim to have the least amount of moving parts therefor looking for a DB centric solution)
Thanks
Pete

I think the post referred to was more an exercise of what could be achieved. The quickest way, nowadays, to get this done with not too much hassle is via APEX

ORACLE APEX POST Restful Web services

Any examples and/or ideas into how to insert a XML or JSON style document into column with XMLtype, varchar2, clob or blob type using an Apex post restful web service? I don't want to use SQL loader, external tables or something that requires a directory in the database server.
Oracle Apex 4.2
Apache tomcat 7 web server
Oracle Apex Listener 2.0
Oracle database 11.2.0.3
thank you!

MK,
I am able to insert into a table the following json document;
{"name": "John", "age": "21"}
Here is the code behind it.
<code>
create table students (
name varchar2(100),
age varchar2(100));
begin
insert into students(name, age)
values(:name, :age);
end;
</code>
This works, But the following will fail,
{"name": "John", "age": "21"}, {"name": "Mary", "age": "22"}.
I would like to load the document into memory and insert into a table.

[OSB] - Calling REST Service - POST action

Hi,
I have a requirement to invoke a REST full service to pass on the processed XML message. I know OSB supports both calls via Proxy and Business services. I have tested it with HTTP and it works. However, my server side REST service is to be invoked/called over HTTPS.
Request you to please let me know what I need to look for while implementing this requirement. Any help in this case will be appreciated. Thanks.

RESTful service with POST, GET, PUT and DELETE

I'm implementing a RESTful service, but mod_plsql only gives me GET, POST and HEAD commands.
However, if I try to use the PUT command, the response is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>501 Method Not Implemented</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Method Not Implemented</H1>

mod_plsql: request method not supported<P>
<HR>
<ADDRESS>Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.3.1.0 Oracle-HTTP-Server Server at *** Port 80</ADDRESS>
</BODY></HTML>Is it possible to add support for PUT and DELETE in mod_plsql?
I've search all packages and code, but I haven't found anything that specifies the valid HTTP commands or the source for generating the above error message.

AIR supports all the specified HTTP methods, but there seems to be a bug in the HTTPService class. Instead you should use URLLoader and URLRequest. If you change to that you won't even need to use the Method Override header.

REST (HTTP POST) Proxy Service in OSB 11g

Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to Oracle OSB, but I was searching through the forum but could not find any "guide", "tutorial" on how to implement a REST - HTTP Post for a Proxy Service. If anyone know of any disccussions prior, please send me the links!
I have created a SOAP business service based on a WSDL, I have it working with a SOAP proxy service, but I want to implement a REST - HTTP Post proxy service to talk to the same SOAP business service. Can this be done? And if so, can someone guide me on how to create the HTTP Post Proxy service? I have tried implementing a proxy with the relative uri, http, but just could not get it to work, any help would be appreciated!
THANKS!

Let's say for example user have to the use the form to enter all 10 items or few like 5 on their stock form into 4 different textbox field each lines of your form, however these items go into a "Stock_table" under Single insert transaction query when submit button is pressed.
Please anyone help me out, on how to get this concept started.

Hello,
I have a way to do this, but it would take some hand coding on your part. If you feel comfortable hand writing php code and doing manual database calls, specificaly database INSERT calls you should be fine.
Create a custom form using the ADDT Custom Form Wizard that has all the rows and fields you need. This may take a bit if you are adding the ability for up to 20 rows, as per your diagram of the form area. The nice thing about using ADDT to create the form is that you can setup the form validation at the same time. Leave the last step in the Custom Form Wizard blank. You can add a custom database call here, but I would leave it blank.
Next, under ADDT's Forms Server Behaviors, select Custom Trigger. At the Basic tab, you enter your custom php code that will be executed. Here you are going to want to put your code that will check if a value has been entered in the form and then do a database INSERT operation on the Stock_table with that row. The advanced tab lets you set the order of operations and the name of the Custom Trigger. By default, it is set to AFTER. This means that the Custom Trigger will get executed AFTER the form data is processed by the Custom Form Transaction.
I usually just enter TEST into the "Basic" tab of the Custom Trigger. Then set my order of operations in the "Advanced" tab and close the Custom Trigger. Then I go to the code view for that page in Dreamweaver and find the Custom Trigger function and edit the code manually. It's much easier this way because the Custom Trigger wizard does not show you formatting on the code, and you don't have to keep opening the Wizard to edit and test your code.
Your going to have to have the Custom Trigger fuction do a test on the submitted form data. If data is present, then INSERT into database. Here's a basic example of what you need to do:
In your code view, the Custom Trigger will look something like this:
function Trigger_Custom(&$tNG) {
if($tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1")) {
$item1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1");
$textbox1_1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_1");
$textbox1_2 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_2");
$textbox1_3 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$date1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$queryAdd = "INSERT INTO Stock_table
(item, Qty_In, Qty_Out, Balance, Date) VALUES($item1, $textbox1_1, $textbox1_2, $textbox1_3, $date1)"
$result = mysql_query($queryAdd) or die(mysql_error());
This code checks to see if the form input field named Item_1 is set. If so, then get the rest of the values for the first item and insert them into the database. You would need to do this for each row in your form. So the if you let the customer add 20 rows, you would need to check 20 times to see if the data is there or write the code so that it stops once it encounters an empty Item field. To exit a Custom Trigger, you can return NULL; and it will jump out of the function. You can also throw custom error message out of triggers, but this post is already way to long to get into that.
$tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1") is used to retrieve the value that was set by the form input field named Item_1. This field is named by the Custom Form Wizard when you create your form. You can see what all the input filed names are by looking in the code view for something like:
// Add columns
$customTransaction->addColumn("Item_1", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "Item_1");
There will be one for each field you created with the Custom Form Wizard.
Unfortunately, I don't have an easy way to do what you need. Maybe there is a way, but since none of the experts have responded, I thought I would point you in a direction. You should read all you can about Custom Triggers in the ADDT documentation/help pdf to give you more detailed information about how Custom Triggers work.
Hope this helps.

Rest service DELETE doesn't work with OSB

Hi,
I am using OSB 11g, I am using OSB proxy to monitor external rest services call. I've created a business service that point to the external rest service and I created a proxy that is routed to my business service. I modified the flow by adding a piplinepairNode -->requestPipline-->stage -->created two assign and created two variable one for the id and another one for the productID. Then I modified the business service flow as follow:
created two insert, one to define the method, which is DELETE and another one to set the relative-URI to the productID variable and I set the response to replace the . in the body with $body, following this post: http://blogs.oracle.com/jeffdavies/entry/restful_services_with_oracle_s_1
When I test it using osb console Execute, I can see my productID variable is set to $inbound and it is passed all the way to the business service, where it should call the external rest service with the relative-URI, which is set to my productID. it doesn't work, I get 404 error, which is undefined, I believe the reason is because business service is trying to call the external rest service with
http://localhost:{port}/deleteProduct and the rest service expect this URL
http://localhost:{port}/deleteProduct/2 or {productID}
can you please help and tell me what I'm doing wrong?
appreciate any kind of help
Thanks
M.

InfoPath combined with Excel Rest services gives State service error

Hi
I'm having a problem with InfoPath and Excel Services. I have a InfoPath form that calls Excel to do a fairly simple calculation, but I also have another form at a client that is doing the same calling a much more complicated function.
The error I get is

MOSS StateService threw an exception: A Microsoft SharePoint Server State Service error occurred while processing your request. For more information, contact your server farm administrator.
I have determined that if the user is in the Members group, then it works, but as soon as the user is in another group, it gives the error. I have played around with permission levels, given the user all rights, but it still gives that error.
Does anyone have any idea about what might be the problem? I have thought that it's a problem on the state service, but it isn't configurable. I don't want to resort to put everyone into the Members group, as that doesn't seem to be a solution that will
work with everyone. We are on the June 2012 CU.

Thanks Sergio. I tried that but unfortunately didn't fix the problem. I have given the groups Contribute rights, Full Control rights, create my own custom permission level, nothing works except when the user is in the Members post.
I realised today that the error I posted above is a bit misleading. The error that happens first before that one is this (after removing timestamps and correlations):

The error I first posed is I think the reaction to this exception. The strange thing is that the user can access the spreadsheet fine. When I go to the URL that is used for the rest service and just remove the $format parameter, it displays it fine as a HTML
value.

RESTful service and BLOB with bind variable

Hi,
Has anyone successfully created a RESTful service with bind variable to retrieve a BLOB field and render it in an Apex app? I can create RESTful web service and render BLOB field for a record with no bind variable (single row). As soon as I add bind variable my RESTful service fails -- I get 404 Error. Without bind variable it renders both in TEST tool of Workspace and direct URL. As soon as I add a bind variable it fails either way. I have reported this in an SR to Oracle support, but thought I would post here too.
I would also like to retrieve the photo into an Apex application. Any hints would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Fateh -
Good question. You would identify the source type as a Media Resource, and use an SQL statement with the primary key and the BLOB column. When you use Media Resource, you are essentially telling your Database Cloud Service not to marshall the data, just to send it - which is exactly what you are looking for.
With this implementation, you would have to have a separate SQL call for each BLOB retrieval. However, you might be able to use a PL/SQL block as the end point for the RESTful Service and take care of multiple BLOB processing in the block.
Hope this helps.

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"/>*
