Publish XDB web service on apex application

Could any one please help me out to use native oracle XML DB web service on apex application.
In apex application, basically i need to have a report that displays all PO requests with links to each request # to drill down to the form page where the vendor are allowed to submit some corresponding data to th PO request.
All i need is to know how do i use the native oracle XML DB web service to show the report to the vendors with drill down links and capture the data, the vendor submits through the form.
Thanks in advance!!

I think you might be on the wrong track. Web services don't "show" anything really. They take in either XML in the case of SOAP-style web services or an HTTP request in the case of restful web services. They typically return XML, but can return JSON or other machine readable formats. Web services don't have forms and reports. More information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_service . To have a human interact with a web service, you typically have a UI layer. For instance, in APEX you can build a form or a report on a web service (the same is true for most popular web technologies).
In APEX 4.0+ you can expose a report as a restful web service, but I really don't think that is what you want to do. There's no way that I can think of to use the XDB web services to expose any component of APEX.
In short, people interact with web applications, such as APEX apps. Machines, such as databases or application servers, interact with web services.
So, do you need to expose some component of your application as an API (web service) that vendors can call programmatically from some other technology such as Java or PHP? Or do you want to build a web application that people can interact with?

  • Can I deploy web service on APEX server

    I have APEX 3.1.2 on 11g database.
    I need to pull data from other oracle 9i databases into APEX application. I have created web service on my pl/sql package to pull data from 9i databases and deployed service on my local oc4j instance (within jdeveloper). My APEX app pull data from multiple oracle 9i database. Now I need to move my web service to my dev/test environment.
    Can I deploy web service on APEX server? or do I need to deploy on another web server?
    I know I can easily pull the data from other oracle 9i databases using DB link. I want to explore Web services option to just to see is it possible to pull data from multiple sources into APEX app using web service running from APEX server?.
    Any help on this will be appreciated.

    I am in the same situation. Consuming a web service is easy with APEX. But publishing one needs a web server that is more complex than the one that comes with APEX for free.
    I am exploring the possibility of building the web service in Jdeveloper as you have. Then I will make a WAR file that I will publish to an apache tomcat J2EE server that another department runs. I believe it will work since all the components required should be in the WAR file.
    I am new at this. I will let you know how it works out.
    The other possibility is to upgrade the appserver to the full Oracle Fusion server (maybe). This may be expensive and be too much for just a simple web service. But then the publish to application server from jdeveloper is super easy.

  • InvalidCategory error when publishing a Web Service

  • How to create web service for database application

    Hi everyone
    Is it possible to create a web service for an apex database application page which has reports and radio fields and dialog boxes and validations in it. IF it is possible to create, pls help me with example or step by step procedure. I have seen all oracle docs of implementation of Web services in apex but unable to figure out how to get that link of wsdl for an application.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I guess there are other ways. But this is an easy way, if you find the right wizards.
    Besides this it is good practise to define interface methods so that session bean implement these interface methods, and thus seperate the interface from the implementation.
    In this approach you will need 3 projects:
    An enterprise application project (will contain EJB Module)
    An EJB Module project (will contain session bean)
    A Java project (contains code that implements the session bean methods)
    In my previous post I suggested to use a J2EE web mudule project. This was a mistake, it should be EJB module.
    But it should be possible to do it in another way. It is up to you.
    Good luck, Roelof

  • Web Service in Apex

    Hi
    I'm using APEX 2.1.0, OracleXE 10.2, Oracle SOA 10.1.3, Jdev 10.1.3.3
    I've created a webservice in jdeveloper based upon a plsql package it has 3 input parameters and return a parameter
    I've deployed the webservice to my SOA apps server and tested it satisfactorily
    I've then created the web service reference in APEX using the shared components utility and it appears to create the reference ok (based upon the WSDL without searching UDDI), this correctly shows the operation and input and output parameters whilst it is created via the wizard
    I've then tried to create a form based upon the web service in APEX, it shows the operation but it does not show the input parameters it gives the mesage "no data found"
    has anyone else had this problem?
    has anyone got any suggestions?
    thanks
    Andrew

    Jason
    Thanks for this, I've tried to upgrade my APEX to 3.01 using the instructions identified it ran for 9hrs before I killed it I assume that there are some things I need to do on my XE database or my machine is not powerful enough, or something else is awry (not found any other posts on the forum indicating anyone else having a problem with the upgrade so I assume its me!)
    However I have now managed to access another oracle 10g instance that does have Apex 3.01 and I have now successfully built my application on the web services generated in Jdeveloper
    again thanks

    Help me ! :-)
    Thanks for your attention !!

    Roberto and all,
    I installed Tomcat and published ODI web service and it was done sucessfully.
    Why OC4J this simple activity doesn´t have any success ? I'm still curious what's difference between OC4J and Tomcat and why it does not allow this simple task when is completed in a such simple way... Oracle support analyst recommended that I use the OC4J but did not explain the reason, what are the advantages and benefits compared to Tomcat...
    Sincerelly, i´m not too sure if i should go ahead with OC4J.
    Thanks for your attention !

  • Using web services from apex end

    Hi,
    I'm trying to suspend/delete/resume a particular job scheduled in BI Publisher from oracle apex end.For these I'm using the following web services
    1.suspendScheduledReport
    2.resumeScheduledReport
    3.deleteScheduledReport
    when calling
    suspendScheduledReportResponse/
    resumeScheduledReportResponse/
    deleteScheduledReportResponse
    all of them are returning true.
    although the web service call is being successful, but jobs are not being suspended/resumed/deleted in BI Publisher.
    the web service "deleteScheduledReportHistory" is working fine.
    The products I'm using:
    APEX 3.1.2
    BI Publisher 10.1.3.4
    can anyone have detail idea of these??
    its really urgent.

    I recommend you post this in a forum that has BI Publisher expertise, this is a WebLogic Server forum.

  • How to deploy a web service on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2?

    Hi everyone,
    I followed the instructions of the following link to create a web service using jDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0 on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2. [http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/jdev/obe1013jdev/10131/devdepandmanagingws/devdepandmanagingws.htm#t1]
    The web service created was deployed & used with no errors on the standalone OC4J instance.
    But my goal is to deploy my web service on Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2.
    So after several attempts, I was able to deploy it on the Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 but unfortunately I didn't know the URL needed to use the web service.
    I tried the following link (http://192.168.0.91:18100/JavaWebService-GetDates-context-root/GetDatesWSSoapHttpPort) but also didn't work :(
    I also tried converting to J2EE 1.3 and still not knowing how to access the web service.
    Please advice with a solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Lana

    Thanks everyone for your help :)
    The problem turned out to be that Oracle application server 10.1.2 is unlike the others servers, it uses 2 ports:
    - port (19100) is dedicated for the console.
    - port (7779) is to view your applications.
    So the URL needed turned out to be "http://acteos-109.beirut.acteos:7779/beanTest" instead of "http://acteos-109.beirut.acteos:18100/beanTest"
    Hope this info is useful

  • Problem running report with BI Publisher and Web Service

    Hello,
    I actually try to run a Bi Publisher report via the Web Service.
    I use the following documents:

    Everything works fine. But when I try to copy it on local computer the file is 0 length. I use the "getReportBytes" method.
    Here is the code I tried with:
    String userName = “Administrator”;
    String passWord = “Administrator”;
    System.out.println(”calling ” + myPort.getEndpoint());
    System.out.println(myPort.validateLogin(userName,passWord));

    repReq.setAttributeFormat(”pdf”);
    repReq.setAttributeLocale(”en-US”);

    System.out.println(repRes.getReportContentType());
    byte[] binaryBytes = repRes.getReportBytes();
    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(”D:

    out.write(binaryBytes);
    out.close();
    System.out.println(”Success for Run Report”);

    Hi,
    I assume that you use 10.1.3.4. If not, my hint is not relevant for you ....
    There's a new parameter in the web service API to set the Chunk-Size. Unfortunaltely is the default value not so, that the behaviour is like in older releases (no chunk-size ... the whole document at once). If you set the chunk size to -1, you should get your document. So try to add
    repRequest.setSizeOfDataChunkDownload(-1);

  • Calling web service in Oracle Applications...

    Is there any way we can call web services in Oracle Applications?
    I am using 11.5.10 verison of Oracle Applications.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sandra

    Hey Ravi,
    Thanks for your response. I am not well versed with Java. I am using Forms 6i to achieve this. I dont know what java code do I have to put in the custom directory.
    The procedure I am following to call web sevice is as follows:
    1. Using the webservice URL(.wsdl URL) I am creating the Java class (web service stub) in Jdeveloper.
    2. Deploying this Java class into a JAR file.
    3. Then I am placing this JAR file in a directory which was spcified in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CLASSPATH including the name of the JAR file.
    4.Then I go to Forms 6i and say program --> Import Java Classes in my form, it gets the webservice java class and converts that java class into PLSQL packages.proc/func.
    Can you please send me an example how you did this to my email?
    My email ID is "[email protected]"
    Thanks again,

  • Publishing a Web Service

    Hello experts,
    Could anyone give me a step by step guide on how to properly publish a web service in SAP. I've been trying to expose various BAPI's / RFC, but when I attempt to call them in Microsoft Visual Studio via the wsdl, I get a 503 error - server unavailable.
    I think I am missing some level of configuration when creating the SAP web service. Any help gratefully appreciated.

    Hi,
    Use the SEARCH button here on SDN, there have been already several blogs explaining how to publish web services.
    By the way, SAP is a software vendor. You have to tell which SAP software product and release you are using...

    Hello Pedro,
    If you want to develop a web service, APEX is not the first choice. You should better go for JDeveloper (also free).
    APEX is perfect for consuming web services though...
