Questions on using a SOAP web service's data in a Crystal Reports report

I'm attempting to create a report using CR 2008, accessing data from a SOAP web service. I've run into a few problems, and need some advice.
1) CR doesn't seem to support WSDL files that use relative URI imports (for example, I have a relatively complicated WSDL file that imports other WSDL files and schemas using relative URI locations). To solve this problem, I have downloaded all of the files to my local hard drive, and changed the "location" attributes to point to local files. Is there any other solution to this problem?
2) CR doesn't seem to support circular references within schema files. To solve this problem, I have removed circular references from my local schema files. Of course, my actual web service will still potentially return data structures with these circular dependencies. Is there any other solution to this problem?
3) CR doesn't seem to support request documents that allow for arrays of elements. For example, my schema allows the user to specify an array of Instruments that should be returned by the web service. In the meantime, I have changed the schema to only specify single instances of the Instrument element in the request. Is there any other solution to this problem?
4) CR doesn't seem to support empty values for optional attributes that are specified in the schema. So, when the "Enter Values" parameter form appears, I am required to enter values for these attributes, even though they are listed as optional in the schema. To avoid this problem, I have commented out the optional attribute values in the schema. Is there any other solution to this problem?
5) When the schema specifies that a value is based on a restricted simple (string) type, the CR parameter form shows a drop list with ellipses (...), but the drop list does not contain the enumerated types specified in my schema. Instead, I must manually enter a value. Do you know of any reason why the drop list is not populated?
6) The SOAP response document from my web service is relatively complicated. So, in the "Data" page of the Standard Report Creation Wizard, each and every XML element level of the response document listed in the schema is shown as a separate entry. If I choose just the top level element ("fetchInstrumentSetResponse"), then very little data is shown on the next page of the wizard (only the ID attribute). But, if I select each and every element type from the response document, CR prompts me for the request document parameters for each row I have selected (I see the same form 30+ times), even though there really should only be a single SOAP request to the web service to return this response document. It seems to be treating each of these elements as a separate "database table", with a different query string for each. Am I using this feature incorrectly?
If you can point me to somewhere in the documentation that handles this in more detail, that would be great (all I could find were the step-by-step instructions on how to connect to a web service as a data source).
Thanks!

How to send authentication information to SOAP Web Service using MATE framework

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how to pass authentication info (such as user name & password) while calling a webservice using MATE's webserviceinvoker? the SOAP web service expects authentication info in the header.
Thanks in advance..

HI Swayam,
First of all you should tell us what blogs you have seen to avoid you to repeat information that you already know.
we want to avoid setting up SLD configuration for sender system because sender system is just consuming web service .
This is not necessary,
Please let me know the ways we can configure . I did understand we can publish and register the WSDL from Service interface ,but was not clear on over all scenario .
Do you have your ECC webservice available via SOAManager?, you only to access it via soap receiver in SAP PI.
To publish, you need to publish only the sender SOAP, when you register there the sender soap your partner could access there to get the WSDL (Publish services from PI 7.1 to the Service Registry). Also you can generate directly the wsdl (Display WSDL - Integration Directory - SAP Library), what do you want?

Schema Data Type in SOAP Web Service while using Integration Gateway in SMP 3.0

Hi Experts,
I was working on Integration gateway component of SMP 3.0.3 where we can have oData services which connect to different data source from SMP and finally we have to consume from SMP. Here I have an SOAP Web service where there is Schema Data type which is an xml structure and because of that while doing the data modelling with Design time tools I am not able to map the properties as there aren't any as only the parent level Schema type is available in the SOAP Web Services. Please see the below image for reference :
So now I have 2 inputs no problems for design as such then I have the schema for that which comes as a output response which is where I am facing the issue as we don't have that Data Structure itself so how are we going to map that. I have seen some thin possibilities with Custom Scripts with SMP SP06 where this will help us to process the request and response at runtime with JS/Groovy. So needed some lights on this schema data type on Integration Gateway component of SMP 3.0.3 which we are planning to upgrade to SP06 as well so it will be a good starting point for this as well
Also have concerned my good friend Rakshit Doshi for this as well.

Hi All,

Can we use REST web service as Data source in SSRS? !!!!NOT SOAP!!!!

Hello,
We have requirement to use the REST web service as the Data source of SSRS. Tried with XML as Data Source, but unfortunately I could not succeed because the query expects SOAPAction which is not available in REST Service.
Do we have any option to use REST Service, if so please provide some basic example, so that I can try out some options.
If not, do we have any alternate solutions to handle these situations?
Thanks!
Vinay

Hi Vinay.
After looking on it for some time, I am afraid currently there is no document to talk on how to use the REST web service as a data source.
You can use the link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa964129(v=SQL.90).aspx for a renference.
From a support perspective currently this is really beyond what we can do here in the forums. If you cannot determine your answer here or on your own, consider opening a
support case with us. Visit this link to see the various support options that are available to better meet your needs: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=fh;en-us;offerprophone

How to move data connections with SOAP web service in different environments in InfoPath Forms 2010

Hello,
I've an InfoPath Form where I've around 10 SOAP web service data connections. They are calling a custom web service for a custom business process. The web service URL has a query string parameter which identifies whether it's a Test web service or the Production
one. The web service URL looks like this:
http://server/webservice/wsdl?targetURI=testSPRead (for the Test environment)
http://server/webservice/wsdl?targetURI=ProdSPRead (for the Production environment)
When I develop the form in Dev environment, I use the Test web service URL and save the data connection as UDCX files in the data connection library. After completing the development, when I deploy this Form in Production, I update the URL in the UDCX
file in the Production data connection library, but when I run the Form in Production, it throws error 'Error occurred in calling the web service'. After doing more research, when I extracted the XSN file and opened Manifest.xsf file in Notepad, I found the
references of 'testSPRead' parameter.
So, in the UDCX file the web service URL is '/targetURI=ProdSPRead' but in the Manifest.xsf file, there is a reference of Test web service parameter which is 'testSPRead' and that's why it's throwing error.
For testing purpose, I updated the Manifest.xsf file and replaced all the occurrences of 'testSPRead' to 'ProdSPRead' and also updated all the relevant files of the data connections (like XML, XSF etc.) and saved the Manifest.xsf as Form.xsn and deployed
in Prod and it worked.
The question is - is this the right way of doing it? There should be a simple method in such cases where web service has conditional parameter to identify the Test and Production web service.
Does somebody know what is the right way of doing it? I also thought of adding 'double' data connections - one set of Test and another set of Production and call them by identifying the current SharePointServerRootURL, but that's a lot of work. I've 10 web
service data connections in my Form and in that case I'll be having 20 data connections and setting their parameters in different Rules is too much work.
Please advise. It's very important for me!
Thanks in advance.
Ashish

Thanks for your response Hemendra!
I hope Microsoft improves this thing in subsequent patches of InfoPath 2010 or InfoPath 2013 because I don't think this is a very special requirement. This is failing the purpose of having UDCX files for data connections. Why the WSDL's parameter value
is being written in the Manifest.xsf and other XSF and XML files. InfoPath should always refer the URL and parameters from the UDCX files.

SOAP Web Service Authentication configuration

Hello,
I've got a little problem with Web Service authentication configuration.
I'm working on the SAP NetWeaver CE EHP1 7.11. I also have a XMII application deployed on the server and there are some SOAP Web Services(over XMII Transactions) that require basic authentication.
I use all Web Services in the EJB layer. So, I've generated proxy using SAP NetWeaver as a Web Service Runtime for generation. And Iuse an injection mechanism to get a service implementation:
@WebServiceRef(name="GetBatchListService")
private XacuteWS batchListWS;
In this case I could use Single Service Administration application in the NetWeaver Administrator@SOA Management@Application and Scenario Communication to configure basic authentication for EVERY Web Service. And this configuration disappears after every redeploy.
The question is how and where could I configure authentication for all web services?
I've read a lot of documentation, but, unfortunately, I haven't found needed one. I could see 2 direction of searching now, it might help:
1) Destination: Configure HTTP Destination or Web Service Template Destination and use it in all Web Services proxies somehow.
2) Find Configuration way: Create a configuration group or anything else to configure all services from one screen.

Dimtris,
If your WSDL url is pointing to the URL of the Adapter Engine as shownin the Hot to Use the SOAP adapter there is no option. You cannot add it to the SOAP Url.
But, if you change the SOAP Url to the Url shown in this blog by Stefan Grube then you can add the user id and pasword to the url by adding sap- user=userid and sap-password = password.
The optin shown ion the blog by Grube can be used as long as you do not have to use SOAP attachments and in this case you would not need both sender SOAP adapter and a sender agreement.

Username and password validation on SOAP Web Service

Hi,
I'm pretty new to web services and c# .net framework.
I'm developing an app that uses a third party's API/ Web services. My first task is getting this log in(authentication) to working.
Right now its nothing more than a simple Login form:
The code behind the "Log In" button is so far:
Here I've instantiated the SOAP web service that I'm using. And when I got to test/debug my form and type in my username and password and click the "Log In" button nothing happens..."of course"
So my question is, how could I validate whether the username and password were sent to the web service and whether the authentication is true or false?

I'm trying to figure that part out...of how I can get it to return the bool. How can I check to see if it returns a bool?(because i'm not really sure if it does or doesn't just yet)
I'm not expecting it to say "Hey you're logged in" because the actual application doesnt work that way. The actual desktop client will log you in with a (Domain Name\ Username) and windows authenticate
that you're who you say you are, check the SQL Server and Database and Logs you in.
So im trying to figure out how I can manually set it up to where it let the user know that they have Logged in successfully.
And you're saying that the code i have right now SHOULD log the users in correctly?

Using SSL for Web Service Access

Hi,
I'm not sure if this the best forum, but this is technically a J2EE question.
I'm using JDeveloper and OC4J. I have a java class that I'm publishing as a stateful webservice; however, the only clients will be other java routines. (I generated a WSDL file and then stubs.) This webservice has to run on a Windows 2000 box inside of OC4J. I have this done and can call it from across the network from a Linux box. This all works fine. However, I need to add security preferably by going to SSL. I can't find out how to do this. Does anyone know? Do I manually edit the generated stub files? Any chance there is some sample code somewhere?
thanks,
Joe Gamache

Please look at Appendix A of the "Web Services Developer's Guide" from iAS v9.0.2 covers Oracle SOAP. The section, "Working With Oracle9 iAS SOAP
Transport Security", covers using SSL.
Here is a simple example with steps:
Prerequisites
1 . Suppose you have configured Apache to use SSL , that is
-     Apache has a valid server certificate
-     Apache requires the client certificate
-     Apache has a bundle of root certificates of CA with wich it can trust client certificates
-     Apache is in front of OC4J with mod_oc4j (9.0.2) or mod_proxy ( 1.0.2.2)
For more information on this please refer to Oracle9i Application Server Security Guide
2. Have a working knowledge of Oracle Wallet Manager
Steps
The following steps let you use an https web services client
1.     First you need a certificate store in order to store the private key , the client X509 certificate and some trusted authorities. This store in our case is a wallet exported by Oracle Wallet Manager.
2.     In order to generate a correct wallet you need :
a.     Start the Oracle Wallet Manager ( OWM )
b.     Create a new empty wallet
c.     Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR )
d.     Import the X509 certificate that the CA generated from the CSR
e.     Import the root certificate of the CA that trusts the server certificate you would like to connect to ( that of Apache )
f.     Export the wallet
3.     Let's call exported_wallet the wallet that we exported from OWM , and lets put it under c:\temp . Suppose that the wallet password is camarda.
4.     The JDK you plan to use for your client , in the extension directory ( that is $JDK_HOME/jre/lib/ext ) , must contains the following library
a.     jcert.jar
b.     jsse.jar
c.     jssl-1_1.jar
5.     Oracle SSL library use JNI in order to implement some low level encryption API , so you need a shared library usually located in $ORACLE_HOME/bin . For NT platform this library is njssl9.dll . Be sure to have this library in your path
6.     Now given a WDSL , use the Jdeveloper wizard to generate a proxy
7.     Modify the URL end-point from http to https
8.     Add to the proxy the following lines of code
System.setProperty("ssl.SocketFactory.provider","oracle.security.ssl.OracleSSLSocketFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("ssl.ServerSocketFactory.provider","oracle.security.ssl.OracleSSLServerSocketFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","HTTPClient");
System.setProperty("oracle.wallet.location","C:\\temp\\exported_wallet");
System.setProperty("oracle.wallet.password","camarda");

Best SOAP Web Services Architecture for E-Commerce

Hi there,
I have developed an E-Commerce system following the normal way of
developing Java web applications (all classes and JSP files in one Eclipse web project).
I want to modularize the application, I want to split the application into
two applications:
1. The core app, with SOAP web services methods
2. The client (front-end JSP files and some servlets to request/receive responses from the SOAP web services core app)
Basically, I want the servlets in the client app to call the core SOAP web services app for data such as
get product by ID, get customer by ID, etc...
The core SOAP web services app would then return a response in an XML format, which I then
would map to Java objects at the client application.
My questions are:
1. Is this the right way to go?
2. Where should the session management be? At the client app?
Hope you can help?
I have been thinking about a proper architecture for 2 years and honestly it's been giving me sleeping problems.
Thanks!

It works. Thanks,
Ioana

2 calls to method "receive", while the sample Java client ConsumerClient.java
does.
ConsumerClient.java is like:
while(true){
Object result = method.invoke(null);
sleep(20000); // not in sample, added for my test
System.out.println(result);
My VBScript code is like:
Set SC = CreateObject("MSSOAP.SoapClient")
SC.mssoapinit "http://localhost:7001/msg/Receiver/Receiver.wsdl", "", "", ""
While TRUE
Res = SC.receive
WScript.echo "Res = " & Res
Res = ""
' do something that takes 20 seconds
Wend
I added 20 seconds between calls so I can publish a message between 2 calls. I
found the Java client receives the message but the VBScript client doesn't. Has
anyone else observed this?

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your feedback.
Header support is planed for the next major release.

Hi Manoj,
Can you use SOAP header to pass session id accross instead of HTTP header? MS
SOAP toolkit 2.0 support access to SOAP header.
My app needs to use topic instead of queue. But as I said earlier, I can use MS
XML toolkit to access HTTP header. So I have a work around.
Thanks for all your responses with regard to this question!

Hum! i thought you were not able to receive message at all. now
i understood the problem. yes we are using http header to pass
session id accross, in the case of web service client who wants
to subscribe to JMS topics. I cant think of any other way to do
this. if you have any suggestions, i very much like to hear it.
for your application is it possible to use queues instead of topics?
we do not use http session information in the case of JMS queues.

Hi Manoj,
Your sample code is basically same as mine. It would also lose messagespublished
between calls to "receive" method.
I figured out what's going on. Undocumented by BEA, the web servicesends JMS
session ID in HTTP header along with first message. When client makessubsequent
calls to "receive", this ID must be sent back. I found this by usinga SOAP trace
tool.
Unfortunately, MS SOAP toolkit doesn't support access to HTTP header.So one has
to use MS XML toolkit to use message-style web service, when writingMS clients.

Hi Manoj,
I just changed anyType to string and the problem still happens.

I have not tryed message style web services with MS soap toolkit.
I think the problem is because the WSDL for the message style
web service use xsd:anyType as the return type and MS soap is
not able to understand it. can you pls modify the xsd:anyType to
xsd:string (or someother base type) in the WSDL.
SC.mssoapinit can load wsdl stored as a local file. so it should
be easy to make this change.

How to expose a SOAP web service from HCP

Hello All,
Currently I am trying to create a SOAP web service within a HCP Java application to allow backend systems to consume data stored in HCP.
This is the planned scenario:
1. Create data in HCP - therefor I am using JPA and a oData Model.
2. Backend uses web service to consume data from HCP - with this point I do have some problems.. I do want to create a SOAP web service in order to achieve this.
Is there an easy way to create a SOAP web service in HCP? There are many tutorials in the internet of how to create a SOAP web service in 20 sec´s, but non of these helped me. I do was able to consume a SOAP web service in HCP coming from the ByD, but the other way around seems pretty complicated...
Can I make use of the Eclipse functions to create a web service? (New --> Other... --> Web Services --> Web Service and than choose the Button up Java bean Web Service type)
Have any of you some coding snippets that would probably help me out?
I have unsuccessfully tried to use the @WebService, @SOAPBinding, @WebMethod notation in my java classes...
Thank you,
Swen

Hello Nedelcho,
Yes. All the required jar files are in the lib directory.
Currently I am able to create a web service locally.
But when I deploy that to the cloud server my JPA service is not working any more.

SOAP web service: null parameter if namespace not declared in envelope

Hi guys,
We are exposing a SOAP web service on WebLogic Portal 10.0. The service has one method which takes a single parameter. The service works correctly if the namespace is declared in the envelope element, but it is unable to map the request correctly if the namespace is declared on each request element and so the single parameter is null.
This works:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:inv="http://company.com/inventory">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <inv:CheckProductReservation>
         <username>6144</username>
         <udac>GP1</udac>
         <directoryYpgCode>00903</directoryYpgCode>
         <headingCode>0000001005</headingCode>
         <validityStartDate>2009-09-01</validityStartDate>
         <validityEndDate>2010-08-31</validityEndDate>
         <reservationCode>1234</reservationCode>
      </inv:CheckProductReservation>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>This fails:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <SOAP-ENV:Body>
      <CheckProductReservation xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">
         <username xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">6144</username>
         <udac xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">GP1</udac>
         <directorycompanyCode xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">00903</directorycompanyCode>
         <headingCode xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">0000001005</headingCode>
         <validityStartDate xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">2009-09-01</validityStartDate>
         <validityEndDate xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">2010-08-31</validityEndDate>
         <reservationCode xmlns="http://company.com/inventory">1234</reservationCode>
      </CheckProductReservation>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>These two requests seem equivalent and syntactically correct. Interestingly enough, soapUI seems to think that the 2nd request is not valid.
Any ideas why the 2nd request is not working?
Thanks!

Infopath 2013 SOAP Web Service Data Connection - Error: The file is not a valid XML file

Here are the steps to replicate the issue I’m having when adding lists.asmx or any other SharePoint web service in InfoPath 2013. This web service opens fine in the browser from my desktop. My account is a farm administrator and is added to the
web application’s User Policy. I can use these services just fine using Nintex 2013 Workflow.
Open InfoPath Designer 2013.
Select Blank Form and click Design Form button.
Click “Data” tab.
Click “From Web Service” and select “From SOAP Web Service”
Enter https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL for the web service definition.
Click Next.
Windows Security window pops up.
Enter a credential. I tried both my account and the farm account. My account is a farm admin and is added to the web application’s User Policy with Full Control.
Click OK. It prompts for credential multiple times.
I get below this error messages:
Sorry, we couldn't open https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL
InfoPath cannot find or cannot access the specified Web Service description.
The file is not a valid XML file.
Not enough storage is available to process this command.
We have a project that is in need of these services using InfoPath so any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Brian_TX,
For your issue, try to the following methods:
Change your service binding in web.config to:binding="basicHttpBinding". It seems in VS it defaults to wsHttpBinding.
Replace all instances of "parameters" from the web service wsdl with the name "parameter"
There are some similar articles about the issue, you can have a look at them:

SOAP Web Service + Custom Login Module issue

Hi Guys,
We faced an authentication issue in our project. Could you please give any advice how the issue could be resolved.
Environment: A simple SOAP Web Service on top of POJO class created in a Web Application. The web application deployed to the SAP NetWeaver 7.10 Application Server in the Enterprise Application Archive.
Configuration:
      Single Service Administration Application(NetWeaver Administration -> SOA Management -> Application and Scenario Communication -> Single Service Administration)
       The web service endpoint has authentication configured to use User ID/Password HTTP Authentication.
    Authentication Application(NetWeaver Administration-> Configuration Management->Security->Authentication)
      The application(<vendorName>/<earName>*<vendor>~<webAppName>) has Authentication Stack configured to use our custom login module.
Issue: BasicPasswordLoginModule used by the J2EE when we are trying to execute the web service using Web Service Navigator(checked in debug mode). It seems that we missed something in configuration.
Idea: The main Idea is to use our custom login module when we are executing a web service.
Could you help me to resolve the issue.
Thanks,
Dmitry

That's the point.

SOAP/Web service based repository manager

Hi,
We would like to implement a repository manager using SOAP/Web service messages to connect to the document store. The solution will have to support most opperations as the WebDAV repository manager supports. TREX has to be able to crawl for indexing/classification, but I guess that is not a problem.
Is the some information out there on creating repository managers like this, and how they tie in with ACL managers, cahces etc?
