Query for web services usage within BOXI R2.

Do we need a license to use the web services provided within the BO XI R2 framework ?

With having a Business Objects XIR2 Enterprise system, you have the license to use these web services, and our other SDK's.

Guidelines for Web Service Usage

Hi,
I am being given a web services project from tomorrow in my company.My organization has given me a sample user requirement and i have to fulfill it.
I have never interacted with webservices though i am quite fluent with java.I would appreciate if someone would give some links,tutorial where i could do step by step development to develop a web service using wsdl.
Thank you for your consideration.

You could look at w3schools.com for their tutorial on web services (SOAP, WSDL etc).
I don't have a Java tutorial to recommend, but I will say this...define what you're passing into and out of the web service as XML (preferably in some sort of business XSD), and write the WSDL first. Then generate your server code from that. Don't try and take the shortcut of writing your Java and then generating your WSDL from it. Odds are you'll come up with a less flexible web service that is unwittingly tied to your implementation if you do that.

Why do I get parsing errors with my WSDL URL for Web Services usage

Hi,
I am puzzled with the errors I get when I want to create a Web Service datastore.
Scenario: I have created a SAP Web Service from CRM using SOAMANAGER. The WSDL URL produced by SOAMANAGER is accessibile when pasting the URL directly in Internet Explorer. WSDL URL [http://UXCIQ0M.WDF.SAP.CORP:50076/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/srvc_CBDCB34C89C29304E10000000A4282C0/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=504]
When using the WSDL URL in the Web Service datastore URL field, I get the error An error occurred while importing metadata: WSDLException; faultcode=PARSER_ERROR: Problem parsing: The element type "br" must be terminated by matching tag "/br". (BODI-1111469) (BODI-1112446)
When I save the WSDL defintion in a local file and use a local file path, I get the errors An error occurred while importing metadata: WSDLException (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portype/wsp:Policy): faultcode=INVALID_WSDL: Encountered unexpected element 'Policy. (BODI-1111469) (BODI-1112446)
My questions:
- Why do I get different parsing errors despite the fact that the XML is the same?
- The WSDL is generated by SOAMANAGER. Shouldn't it work directly when integrating with Web Services generated from an SAP environment?
- Is this related to confiurgation issue? I have set the Job Manager to Support adapter, message broker and SNMP communication
- What is the difference between the datastore of type Adapter and the datastore Web Service? In the white paper [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20bd5e60-11f9-2b10-2bbb-b5109cceff08?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true] it is mentioned to use the Adapter type to consume a Web Service. It is not clear to me why we have those 2 types.
Thanks & Best Regards
Isabelle

Some updates on this issue, which might help others in the community.
- Data Service doesn't support ws_policy.
- SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SOAMANAGER generate WDSL with ws_policy. In future releases, it is possible to specify not to use ws_policy
- In most cases, replacing ws_policy with standard in the URL directly, works. It doesn't work with Data Services :(.
- Replacing ALL ws_policy in the XML directly is currently the only way to have the WSDL definition being parsed properly by Data Services.

WEB Service usage

Hi All,
Please share with me any documents available for web service usage in TM 7.0.

Call a Web Service from within an e-Sourcing script

Hi Guys
I would like to know wether anyone has successfully been able to call a Web Service from within an
e-Sourcing script? If you have, can you please share your experience and code?
Thank You

Hi Faaiez -
As with any use of Web Services, however, you should carefully consider the security issues that may come up. How, for example, will the Web Service server validate that the Web Service client (E-Sourcing) is properly authenticated? Will password information be included in the web service call? You will find that it is very easy to make a web service call, but I would encourage you to carefully consider security before implementing a productive solution.
Web service calls can be made using raw Java web service APIs from the open source Axis library which is included with E-Sourcing; this approach is slightly more difficult to code, but very dynamic. Web service calls can also be made using proxies. In one solution that I worked on, we generated java proxies for the web service, compiled those proxies into a Jar file, and included that jar file as a custom jar in E-Sourcing. Let me provide a few more details on each of these approaches.
Using raw java web service APIs that are part of the Service and Call classes, I prototyped a web service call to Googles sample spell checker web service. Here is the code:
import org.apache.axis.client.Call;
import org.apache.axis.client.Service;
import org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType;
import javax.xml.rpc.ParameterMode;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
String endpoint = "http://api.google.com/search/beta2";
Service service = new Service();
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(endpoint) );
call.setOperationName( "doSpellingSuggestion" );
call.setOperationName(new QName("urn:GoogleSearch", "doSpellingSuggestion"));
call.addParameter("key", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN);
call.addParameter("phrase", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.IN);
call.setReturnType( XMLType.XSD_STRING );
String ret = (String) call.invoke( new Object[] { "googlekey", doc.getDocumentDescription()} );
doc.setDocumentDescription(ret);
This block of code does a very simple thing...it calls the Google "doSpellingSuggestions" web service with two parameters: a key provided by Google, and a string for which the spelling suggestions should be generated. I used the current document description as my sample string for the web service and I put the results back into the document description - remember, this is just showing how you can call the web service, not doing anything really intelligent or useful from a business perspective
There is nothing special to E-Sourcing about the above code...this is really just using the Axis java classes to call a web service.
The second approach that can be used is to generate Java proxies for the web service calls. The open source Axis library includes a tool called "wsdl2java". Using the WSDL for the web service, you can generate Java proxies. Java classes will be generated by the tool; these Java classes will then need to be compiled and included in E-Sourcing as a custom jar. Once they are part of the E-Sourcing deployment, they can be called like any Java API. If you were to examine the generated code, you would notice that it looks a lot like the raw web service code shown above...the generated classes really just provide a simpler interface to the same functionality.
You can see this information and other E-Sourcing information at my blog at: http://www.sunshinesys.com/

SSL certificates and Web Services Usage inside Oracle Database Questions!

We have implemented a specific business logic using PL/SQL for our client, so we open a file and process each line of this, doing something in the Database and also call a Web Services (Service1) using UTL_HTTP package. Service1 runs in a Windows 2008 Server in the DMZ as Database server.
Service1 is already working, and we can call the service from PL/SQL without troubles.
However, according with security client's policies they requires all Web services be consumed via https including Service1, so we must to follow the procedure established for Oracle in order to enable the calling of service1 via https from the Database.
Our client's DBA and IT Team are concerned about two subjects before to continue to follow the certificate installation:
     - SSL Certificates:
1- Can installed certificates in the Database put in risk the stability of the database?
          2- Can installed certificates in the Database generate performance issues?
          3- Can installed certificates reloading the Databases?
          2- Can installed certificates in the Database generate security issues?
     - Web services:
1- Can web services calling from the Database put in risk the stability of the database?
2- Can web services calling from the Database generate performance issues?
3- Can web services calling from the Database generate security issues in the DMZ?
Could you please give us any clues, about the possible negative impact related with the SSL certificates and Web Services Usage inside Oracle Database, if it’s the case this impact exists?.
Those are the links describing the procedure mentioned above.

Thiago:
You are correct in that there should be no problem interacting with a Web service that has an HTTPS endpoint as long as you create a wallet and specify it when you make your UTL_HTTP calls, like the PayPal example.
I am not aware of a PL/SQL utility to create a XMLDsig Standard message, but if you find some Java source out there that does it, you may be able to follow a technique I used for a similar use case:

Help needed with process to call an external web service from within ABAP

Hello,
I have an understanding of how I can provision web service from within SAP so that it can be consumed by external apps.
Now, I am in need to know the, how I can call an external non-sap web service (let's say a java application) or even a public domain web service for that matter:
Is there any lay man's guide out there? which will list following step:
A sample ABAP program calling an external web service
List of all the configurations needed within SAP to make this happen (calling an external web service).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Matesh,
Please use the following command in Google : site:sdn.sap.com abap consuming web service
There is many samples of your needs on SDN.

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
--2011-07-02 23:23:42-- 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.

How can I create a query with web service data control?

I need to create a query with web service data control, in WSDL, it's query operation, there is a parameter message with the possible query criteria and a return message contains the results. I googled, but cannot find anything on the query with web service. I cannot find a "Named Criteria" in web service data control like normal data control. In Shay's blog, I saw the topics on update with web service data control. How can I create a query with web service data control? Thanks.

The WSDL 1.1 Specification is available at http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl.

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.
Thanks.

WSDL error during generation of ABAP proxy for web service

Hi friends,
I am getting error during the generation of ABAP proxy object for web service developed in .NET .
Error : Proxy generation terminated: WSDL error (<extension> not supported).
How to make this WSDL file compatible for ABAP proxy.
I have tried to edit WSDL file in XML Spy but did not get any option to replace/remove the tag <extention>.
If any one worked on this. Please help me its urgent.
