Return values from Web services

I want to return an array of objects that contain only the allowed Java Types.
Is it possible to return an array of objects as xml for example from a WL web
service?
Thanks,
George

Facing problem while going to catch return result from web-services.

Hi everybody,
I am new to BPEL. I am facing problem while going to catch the attributes of resultsets returning from web-services(QAS). As far as my knowledge, two types of results it should return - XML entities and another is attributes which is coming as the part of XML entitites. I am able to catch the XML entities, but can't catch the attributes under it. Even, I am not able to see whether web-services returning something within that field.
When, I tried to catch the attribute and store to a temporary varilable using the following code:
*<assign name="AssignQASDoGetAddress1">*
*<copy>*
*<from variable="InvokeQAS_DoSearch_OutputVariable"*
part="body"
query="/ns6:QASearchResult/ns6:QAPicklist/ns6:PicklistEntry/@PostcodeRecoded"/>
*<to variable="temp"/>*
*</copy>*
*</assign>*
but, I am facing the following selectionFailure errors after running it:
*"{http://schemasxmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/}selectionFailure" has been thrown.*
-<selectionFailure xmlns="http://schemasxmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/">
-<part name="summary">
*<summary>*
empty variable/expression result.
xpath variable/expression expression "bpws:getVariableData('InvokeQAS_DoSearch_OutputVariable', 'body', '/ns6:QASearchResult/ns6:QAPicklist/ns6:PicklistEntry/@PostcodeRecoded')" is empty at line 269, when attempting reading/copying it.
Please make sure the variable/expression result "bpws:getVariableData('InvokeQAS_DoSearch_OutputVariable', 'body', '/ns6:QASearchResult/ns6:QAPicklist/ns6:PicklistEntry/@PostcodeRecoded')"is not empty.
*</summary>*
*</part>*
*</selectionFailure>*
Getting this error it seems to me that web-service is returning nothing, but, it returns something as it has been catched using a method called isPostcodeRecoded() Java Code in Oracle ADF. This method has been used as it should return boolean whereas for catching the xml entities using java code we used the method like getPostcode(), getMoniker().
For your information, we are using Jdeveloper as the development tool for building the BPEL process.
Am I doing any syntax error. Please consider it as urgent and provide me asolution.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Dave and Marc, for your suggestions. Actually what I found is QAS web-service is returning nothing as attributes when the attributes are set to the default value. For example, following is the part of the wsdl of the result which QAS webservice returns.

<xs:attribute name="UnresolvableRange" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
<xs:attribute name="PhantomPrimaryPoint" type="xs:boolean" default="false" />
</xs:complexType>
here the attributes like FullAddress, PostcodeRecodedare , etc. are not being return by the web-service when it is getting the default value false. But, if it gets true then , it is being displayed at the BPEL console.
Do you have any idea how can I catch the attributes and its value even when it gets the default value which is already set. Previously, it was returning(it was not being displayed at the console).
Thanks once again for your valuable suggestions...!!!

Unable to capture return values in web services api

At the time of login to web services if my server is down ,
it returns following error :
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
        at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1438)
        at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1411)
I want to capture this error so that i can try another server to login. how do i capture this error
Another place where i want to capture the return Value is when i look for a report on the server
rh = boBIPlatform.get("path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/"src_folder"/" + reportName +
                           "@SI_SCHEDULEINFO,SI_PROCESSINFO" ,oGetOptions);
oInfoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
Here if the report is not there on the server , it returns a null handler exception.
but if i try catching it by checking my responsehandler is null like rh == null it does not catch it.
Any help will be appreciated
thanks
Rakesh Gupta

Ted : i have two cases
1)   server = server_st.nextToken();
    providerURL = "http://"server"/dswsbobje/services";
    sessConnURL = new URL(providerURL + "/session");
   Connection boConnection = new Connection(sessConnURL);
   Session boSession = new Session(boConnection);
EnterpriseCredential boEnterpriseCredential = new    EnterpriseCredential();
              boEnterpriseCredential.setLogin(userid);
boEnterpriseCredential.setPassword(pwd);
boEnterpriseCredential.setAuthType(auth);
SessionInfo boSI = boSession.login(boEnterpriseCredential);
I have got a list of servers running web servcies stored in my tokens. when i pass the first server name say " test:8080" and that server is down , i want to catch somewhere in the code above that it did not get the connection so that i can loop back and try with the second server say test1:8080
This is for failover purposes.
at present when i was trying to capture return value of boSI it breaks giving the error
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1438)
at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1411)
2nd case :
I am geeting reports from the server and scheduling them:
i run the following code which works fine if reports is there
rh = boBIPlatform.get("path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/"src_folder"/" + reportName +
"@SI_SCHEDULEINFO,SI_PROCESSINFO" ,oGetOptions);
oInfoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
Here if the report is not there on the server then i should be able to catch from the response handle rh that it has got a null value.
but rh does not return a null value
the code ultimately throws a null handle at the following line
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
i am not able to catch the null value there also.
hope you got my issue.

Complex Return types from web service

Hi,
Iam developing a web service using axis.In that i want to return array of objects to the client.
But when iam calling from the client side iam getting the class cast exception.
I wrote server-config.wsdd file manually. do i need to add any more if i want to return array of java beans.
server-config.wsdd

Re: Returning Objects from Web Services

Hello,
I'm doing a project which uses Java web services. I'm using the Web Services templates under Netbeans 6 IDE to accomplish this.
I have followed some basic tutorials and have set up a service that returns integer datatypes etc. I need to know how I can return an object from a webservice and have a client retrieve the attributes of this object.
I have attempted this, and it returns server.Comp@8d8fce, the name of my class is "Comp", the package is "server" and I guess the hex value is the address of the object pointer.
I've been looking around all day and I can't seem to figure this out. Could someone explain to me how this is done. Or maybe even point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
nerdjock

From what you have written I assume you don't understand how to read/set object properties thats why it doesn't work for you. You can follow many tutorials found on the web like this one: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/50/quickstart-webservice-client.html#consumingthewebservice-j2se.
When using Netbeans 6.0 or 5.5 basicaly you don't have to do much to create ws and ws consumer, just follow the wizards.
1. Create the web service (either as a web applicaton or EJB)
2. Create Java SE application, set "create main method" option
3. Right click on the SE project and choose Create Web Service client,
4. Pick up the WSDL of earlier developed web service
5. Click Finish to generate the stubs.
6. Expand created folder with generated stubs up to the method names
7. Drag the method in the SE project main method scope
For sure you can find more detailed tutorials on the web. Good luck!

Returning java bean from web service

hello i just want to know if it is still platform independent if i make an array of java bean object as a return value from a webservice?
if the return value of a webservice is a java bean, is it required for the client to have a copy of the java bean class? what will happen if the client of the java webservice is in PHP or other language besides java? will it still be compatible?
thanks in advance guys..

Yes, you should be able to return a Java bean from a Web service. What will happen is your web service framework, such as JAX-WS (http://jax-ws.dev.java.net) will generate WSDL and Schema that describes the operation and its use of Java bean. Then the client web service framework used will take the WSDL and Schema description and generate something that can marshal/unmarshal the contents of the bean.

How to get the return values from a web page

Hi all :
how to get the return values from a web page ? I mean how pass values betwen webflow and web page ?
thank you very much

Hi,
What kind of web page do you have? Do you have possibility to for example make RFCs? Then you could trigger events (with parameters that could "return" the values) and the workflow could react to those events. For example your task can have terminating events.

Can objects returned from web services be cast to strongly typed objects?

Can objects returned from web services be cast to strongly

Last I tried this was with one of the beta of Flex2 and it
did not work. You had to use ObjectProxy or something like that...

How to know return type in Web service

{color:#0000ff}I am writing a web service client application. After invoking the service it gets the result as SOAP massage. But i need to know the return type also. How can i do that?
{color}
here is the response obtained from web service after invoking a subtract method, it is giving correct value but doesn't give tye of value.
<ns:SubtractResponse xmlns:ns="http://example.ws"><ns:return>81</ns:return></ns:SubtractResponse>

View WSDL(Web Service Description Language) file of the web service. Normally WSDL file of any web service can be referenced by appending "wsdl" at the end of web service URL. e.g. http://www.abs.com/mywebservice/invokewebservice?wsdl
Shazzad wrote:

How can i do that?WSDL file for a web service contains all information regarding the web service like types, message, portType, binding, service etc. Types section have schema definitions of all messages which are being used in web service. here you can find everything about all elements, fields for all the messages in the WebService including type of the values.
You can find more about WSDL on Sun and Google very easily.
Hope this will help.

Set listbox items from web service response

Hi All
I am trying to set list box items from a web service response. Couple of issues over here:
1. The user should be able to select multiple items from the list. Hence if I set "Allow multiple values" and set Commit on "exit", then after the web service returns the output, no data is displayed in the listbox. I need to click inside the list box to see the data returned by the web service. How to overcome this..?? ( However this problem (clicking inside the listbox to see the items) does not exist if "Allow multiple values" is unchecked and Commit is set on "Select". )
2. After the list box is filled up, certain default values should be selected. This selection is based on one of the response field (which is actually a table with multiple values... ). Hence, how to capture this response field and set the default values in the above list..??
3. The same case for a dropdown. The values are visible in dropdown. However, a default value should be selected and displayed after returning a response from web service. Again, this default value is dependant on another field in the response as in point no.2
I am trying to use postExecute event as described in [this|http://forms.stefcameron.com/2009/03/23/pre-process-web-service-responses/] link...however not able to achieve the functionality. Please provide suggestions / inputs.
Thanks
Deepak

Hello,
first: I don´t know anything about the right solution. I am unaware of the existence of the solution, because there were quite many of question about this multiple selection problem and I don´t remember a single "answer".
I can recommend you to simplify everything and create the functionality yourself. I have done that before to avoid these "Adobe-standard" problems. If you have a problem with autofill of the object, ask your WS to send you a single string and pass it yourself using scripting (JS).
And if you have problems with multiple selection, create your own field/ object. Get the string of values, parse it, create multiple lines of the dynamic table with some suitable tool to check/ select the rows you need (use checkbox for example, and your text as a table row). This way you can selected anything you want with no problems at all. It wil only cost you some extra work.

Dates coming from web service

Hi,
I'm currently trying to consume in VC a CAF Application Service exposed as a Web Service. I'm able to retrieve what I want but I have a problem with dates format.
The web service returns dates in the following format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:NN:SS
When I test my data service in VC it works fine. When I run my iview, VC swap the month and the day and compute the new date...
It's not just a problem of formatting with DVAL and DSTR because the date is already computed.
Example:
Date returned from web service: 2007-09-21T00:00:01
Date returned from test data service in VC: 21.09.2007
Date returned at runtime: 09.09.2008
VC understand 21.09.2007 not like DD.MM.YYYY but like MM.DD.YYYY so 21.09.2007 becomes 09.09.2008
I also tried to check on the server Regional and Language option but it doesn't come from there.
Have you ever faced this problem?
Thx

Hi,
It is a Web Service generated by NWDS (to expose my CAF Application Service)and deployed on the server.
The url si like http://<hostname>:<port>/mywebservice/Config1?wsdl
The Web Service runs correctly.
When I call a method of my web service to retrieve a list of objects (CAF Entity Services) and their attributes, it returns attributes of type String and Dates of type 'java.util.GregorianCalendar'.
It seems that VC doesn't correctly understand this type of Date at runtime

Thomas

Presence data from web service

Hello,
i like to get presence data from the presenceconsumer web service. But everytime a call getUserPresence i get a PolicyException (POL0002): 'Privacy verification failed for address %1, request is refused'.
I use a web service proxy generated from the wsdl of the presenceconsumer web service. Authentication is made against the appregationproxy by setting username and password. Both users (the one i use for authentication and the one whose presence data i want to get) are registered in the timesten database.
The user whose presence data should be accessed is logged in the OracleCommunicator and has the other user on the allowed list for presence data.
All other operations of the presence web services work without any problem, so why not getUserPresence?
Thanks for help

Hi,
I have found the problem and fixed it :)
If you see my code, I was checking for the pending subscriptions after publish() method. When I tried this check before publish() method, I got the expected results (All the pending subscriptions).
Also, I got an error (ServiceException) while dynamically retrieving the subscribed attributes for some reason. I have found an alternative solution, by manually allowing only the PresenceAttributeType.Activity (instead of all getSubscribedAttributes()).
Note: This code was working fine in my local machine because, I have already setup-ed the users (Buddy list) through Oracle communicator in my machine. I was not able to install OC in the VM for some reason though OS is same in both my machine and the VM (OS: Windows 2000 SP4).
thanks & regards,
S.Vasanth Kumar.
My latest code for your reference.

How get data from Web Service with token?

Can I get data from Web Service made with Java?
This WS has a Token.

We've now added this ability to Web.Contents. You can say something like
Web.Contents("http://my.web.service/1", [Headers=[#"The-Token"="0a0138ef2d"]])
and it will pass a header with the key "The-Token" and the value "0a0138ef2d" as part of the HTTP request. For security reasons, this will only work for anonymous web requests.
