Run Web Service Method when OC4J starts

Hi,
I have a number of web services running under OC4J.
Is there any way to execute a web service method on OC4J startup?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
My services act as services within oc4j.
There are essentially multiple deployments of the same .ear, with the application name being used to discern between the service instances.
I know that I could create proxy classes and then use an OC4JStartup class to fire a method at startup....
However, this would mean that I would need to create a proxy for each instance ....
Ideally I would like to have some sort of configuration file that holds the url to each instance --- then use the url within the OC4JStart class to fire a method on each URL
Thanks
Paul

TimeoutException - when calling web services method that opens a PDF

I am updating a legacy program which uses Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional. The idea is that the client will call web service methods, which handle opening a PDF, reading from or writing to the PDF, saving if necessary, and closing. It then returns the data (if reading) to the client.
The only issue with this that I'm having is that the client will pause for about 60 seconds, and throw a TimeoutException.
I know that the method on the web services end is working, because I wrote a quick driver which calls the very same method, but it executes normally, and works perfectly.
My question is basically, is there anything that would cause the client to hang/freeze when calling the web services method to do this task? Everything is running on my workstation, and I've debugged to see that the filename being passed is the same in both tests.
Thanks!

Thank you, I somehow missed seeing that subforum. I reposted it in that forum instead. This thread can be deleted/closed. Thanks!

Running web services on OC4J with attachments problem

Hi,
I have problem with running Web Services with Attachment on AS 10.1.3 (SOAP: RCP/LItteral 1.1).
I generate WS Bottom-Up from java class in Jdeveloper 10.1.3 (3673) :

It's probably "web services home page" bug, ws proxy client works fine.

Serialization error when calling web service method

Hi,
In JDeveloper 10.1.3.1, I'm working on an EJB that will be deployed as a web service. There is a method in the EJB that is defined to return a generic Object, but in the implementation, it really returns one of several possible specialized bean objects. I can deploy the EJB successfully to IAS 10.1.3.1.
I created a web service proxy from the wsdl that was generated from deploying the EJB. Using the proxy, I try to call the EJB method and cast the method's return value to the bean object I know should be returned. However, I get an error like this:
java.rmi.ServerException:
start fault message:
Internal Server Error (serialization error: no serializer is registered for (class com.test.TestBean, null))
:end fault message
Does anyone know how this serialization error can be resolved? If I change the web service method signature to return the bean object that is actually being returned (instead of Object), then it works fine. But I want to be able to define the method to return a generic Object because I plan to make the method flexible enough to return several different types of bean objects. Whenever the client calls the method, it will know what is the actual object being returned and I had planned to cast the return value to its actual class.
Thanks for any ideas.

Well, I think so... I've followed all the steps, and my merged WSDL file seems like the one in page 12...
Any suggestion, please?
Thank you,

Hi,
As I see from your exception, you tried JavaTravellerService web service, wdsl file of which you added from Creator's samples. This service is running on bundled Sun Application Server. I think reason can be that your Application Server isn't running. Try to start bundled Application Server and test methods of JavaTravellerService web service.

Calling Oracle Report InSide Web Service Method

Is there way to call oracle reports inside one of my web service method.
If yes kindly let me know how we can do this and some documents related to this.
Thanks
Robert

Oracle reports does have a Web API when reports are run from the application server. As a result one way to do what you are asking is to write a Web service that use java.net.URL to invoke the Reports Service Web interface:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/docs/A92102_01/pbr_run.htm#1005598
As I understand it, this interface itself is actually being exposed as a Web service in a future release of Oracle9iAS Reports ... I don't know if this is a Oracle9iAS Reports 9.0.4 feature or beyond that. You might try asking on the Reports forum:

How to create iView to run Web Service

Hi,
I need create iView on EP7 NW2004S SP12 portal to run Web Service provided on SRM 6.0 system.
Here is how I have attempted to create the iView:
1. Right click and select New =>iView.
2. Select "iView Template" radio button.
3. Select "Web Service iView" radio button to specify Web Service Template.
4. Enter name and ID of iView.
5. Select System Alias of System defined earlier.
At this point, the portal attempts to connect to the ECC system, and it fails with this error, and I cannot finish the create of the iView.
Could not connect to back-end application. Check your system. The server may be down or there may be an error in a system parameter.
Here are the key parameters defined for the System referenced by the system alias:
WSDL_URL:http://sap2.mycompany.com:50000/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
Logon Method:UIDPW
User Mapping Type:admin, user
CodeLink:com.sap.portal.systems.webservices.webservice_system
I've also created a usermapping for the Everyone group, and provided the userid and password for the system alias successfully.
Thanks,
Kevin

Thank you for that information. I had not previously seen a procedure on how to setup an iView to run a web service.
I had created the System just as described in this blog, but I still have a problem. When creating the iView (on the last step of process when I click Finish), the portal attempts to connect to the SRM system, and it fails with the error highlighted below.
Could not connect to back-end application. Check your system. The server may be down or there may be an error in a system parameter.
I get an error in System Administration as well when I test the connectivity for the System object.
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Retrieve the default alias of the system
2. Check the connection to the backend application using the connector defined in this system object
Results:
Retrieval of default alias successful
Connection failed. Make sure that Single Sign-On is configured correctly
How does the security need to be setup to make this work? Or what could be causing this error? I do have SSO configured between the portal and the target system.
Thanks,
Kevin

How to add a new filter in an existing web service method (BIWS - WEBI document)

Hello Experts, we have 7 web service query's connected to a dashboard. Basically it is one WSDL URL and 7 Get Methods...Web service queries are BIWS (via WEBI document instance). There are filters setup for each of these web service methods.
Recently there was a request to add 2 new fields to the webi document and also the 2 fields need to be included as filters in the 7 methods. I know there is an option to edit the method, but when i edit the method, i cannot find the 2 new fields in list to set as filters.Can anybody help me understand how to add filters to an existiing web service method? I do not want to delete the method and republish the block as web service.
Any help will be great and points rewarded.
Thank you
Ann

Hi Ann,
The reason you are not able to see any of the new columns as a option to select in your web service block is because when you have published that block, they were not present. Add these two new objects in your block and publish it again. You will be prompted for duplication content. Select the highlighted block for duplicate and now you can see the new added objects in the filter option. Update and this will overwrite your published block. Please note, web services do appear to behave weirdly when used with dashboards so I request you to please try it in a separate test report first.
Hope that helps.

Tanisha

Strange about invoking web service method declared string method(void);

Dear forum readers
Im experimenting with OpenESB and web services. Ive create a simple web service using NetBeans 6.1. The method consists of a single method, getTime, that is declared:
String getTime()
My current experiment is to invoke this method from a BPEL-process using the Invoke process object. The strange thing is that it seems like I have to provide a dummy inbound variable from the BPEL-designer even though the method doesnt take any parameters. I include a snippet from the BPEL process below which includes the section where I set the dummy GetTimeIn-variable and then invokes the WS method getTime().
<assign name="Assign2">
<copy>
<from>'DummyValue'</from>
<to variable="GetTimeIn" part="parameters"/>
</copy>
</assign>
<invoke name="Invoke1" partnerLink="PartnerLink1" operation="getTime" xmlns:tns="http://ws/" portType="tns:MyWebService" outputVariable="GetTimeOut" inputVariable="GetTimeIn"/>
If I dont initiate the dummy variable or remove it altogether, I cant successfully call the method. If I include the dummy in-parameter the call works just fine and I get back the current time as a string.
I must admit that Im still a rookie to web services, especially when calling them from a BPEL-process, so it may be a very trivial reason for this behaviour. Anyway, any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Ola

Thank you both for the response. Regarding Rennays posting I have an additional question. When I create a new web service I don't have the "Document Literal" option nor a "Concrete Configuration" tab. I've created the web service using the "Web Application" project type and then adding a web service using the "Web Service..." wizard. This wizard doesn't have the configuration properties you mention, but if I add a WSDL-file to a BPEL-project the wizard has the properties you mention.
Is it possible to create a web service, programmed as an ordinary Java-class, from an existing WSDL-file? In that case it may solve the problem with the Document Literal property. Currently I dont know any other way to create such a web-service other than the through the web service wizard in a web application project. Of course, its possible to craft it from scratch but thats to much work to be practical.
Regards, Ola

Web Service Method that returns an ArrayList

Hi guys,
I have to create a web service method that returns an ArrayList, but it's not working. My problem is:
With the "@XmlSeeAlso" annotation, my client prints the result, but the ArryaList is not from java.util, it's from org.me.calculator so I can't use it.
If I remove this annotation, I get no result, with this error message on Tomcat 6:

I forgot to say that, when I try to return an ArrayList of an object, for example, ClassA, which is on the package org.me.classes, on my Server App, the ArrayList is returned, but the objects are from type org.me.calculator.ClassA. It should be from org.me.classes.ClassA, right?
This package also exists on my client App, to use the object, but as the returned type is from another package, I can't even cast it. I tried some annotations @Xml... but it failed.
Packages
ServerApp
org.me.calculator
CalcWS.java
org.me.classes
ClassA.java
Client App
org.me.classes
ClassA.java
The return from my method should be an ArrayList of org.me.classes.ClassA, but when I print it, on client, it's from org.me.calculator.ClassA.
Does anybody knows, or had the same problem?
Thanks,

Error running web services examples

Hi Guys,
After spending the whole day finally i get the soap server working. I have to manually deploy soap.ear into OC4j instance. But again i am trying to run web services stateless java say hello class example... but no luck. I am getting connection refuse error... Did any one tried these examples.... I am using Jdeveloper9i on win 2000 professional machine.
I am getting connection refused error ...if i try to run example....
Any help will be appreciated..
thnks
vijay

See:
Check for uniqueness of data in a column
In your response, could you elaborate on "connection refused" ... is this the application server that you are testing? If you are setting up the SOAP Server connection, this is not required by those tutorials as shown by the Quickstart setup that they point to.
It would also help to know the versions of JDev and OC4J you are using (e.g. are you using JDev 9.0.3 and OC4J 9.02; have you got a full install of Oracle9iAS 9.02 etc). Without more details it can be hard to help.
I wrote most of the tutorials at a point in time so they tend to be pretty specific about version numbers. If you are using different versions they should work but I might be able to point out any problems you might run into.

(261680070) Q SYNCH-11 How do my web service methods accees EJBs and java classes?

A<SYNCH-11> How do my web service methods accees EJBs and java classes?
A<SYNCH-11> It is simple to use java classes, just do it as you would ordinarily.
The .jws file really contains a simple class so you can program with it in the same
way that you would use a regular Java class.
To use an EJB you can go and access it directly as you would with any EJB remote
client (lookup home stub, create, etc) or if the EJB is deployed to WLS you can use
a control to provide a very simple wrapper to the EJB. We will see this in detail
on Thursday in the ADVC module.

Futher information about the possibility of callback:
It may be possible for a synchronous only web service (i.e. MS .net) to even paticipant
in the callback functionality of asynchronous web services. If the client implements
the appropriate methods for the callback but listens for them on a different port
or binding than the SOAP request, then web service may be able to build a response
if the client's "callback URL" is submitted as the beginning part of a conversation.
Watch the BEA developer forum (http://dev2dev.bea.com) for more information about
this approach and other tips and techniques for building web services.

Q<SYNCH-03> I heard that MS .net only implements synchrnonus method? If

Does it means my async methods will only work with J2EE clients?
A<SYNCH-03> I do not know the limitations of .net but let me point out that
is very
difficult to provide asynchronous web service method invocation (this is
different
from an asynchronous web service). HTTP as a general communication protocol
is based
on a request and response paradigm so your client libraries will mostly
likely be
expecting a response even if it is empty (check the asynchronous example
from today
to see that the start method still returns an empty response). You must
distinguish
this from the notion of an asynchronous web service which is a business
operation
that occurs on the server whose return value/result is not directly associated
with
building response to the client. An asynchronous web service can (and generally
will)
be started and stopped with web service operations that are invoked synchronously.
Thus MS .net clients can still be client to WLS hosted web services.

Folder of actively running web service

Hi,
How can I get the folder path of the actively running web service in labview. It seems that it is stored as a sub-folder in C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\WebServices\aws.

Hi user508086,
Which api's, jars are you porting with the webservice proxy?
I would like to know which dependencies are present when creating a web service client in Jdeveloper.
In my java project, which only holds the web service client code, uses 4 different project libraries which contain a lot of api's, which aren't needed for only a web service client.
Did you manage to drill down the web service libraries to only those that are being used, or did you ported all jars included in the project libraries (oracle xml parser v2, J2EE, JAX-RPC Client, Commons Logging 1.0.3).
Kind Regards,
Nathalie

Calling Web Service Methods in Web Dynpro

2. Created a Web Service and checked the same using EP Web Checker
3. Created a Web Dynpro app having two screens (First one for setting String value and second for getting string value)
4. Configured the Web Service in the model...I can see the Request and Response in the Context...Mapped the request to first view and Response to Second View
