Send Multipart message in web service

Hi All,
I have configured IDoc-SOAP-File scenario successfully.
Now My sender and receiver structure is changed.
I mean in my Idoc i cn have node repeated number of times and so i have changed my occurace at wsdl file also, so tht for all web service will be call only once and response will also have 1-unbound occurance.
When i run sceanrio...i m able to send Idoc with multiple node in it and request is futher sent to web service.
But in response i m gettin response only for first one as web service is just sending/accepting (?) data for 1st occurance of node.
Please guide me for same tht how i can send multiline data to web service and accept multiline responce.
Regards,
Manisha

  • Obtaining the WSDL and sending a message (like Web Services)

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to use a service interface defined in XI as any other web service? Consider the following scenario.
    1. Create an async service interface (outbound) in XI (This has a message mapping and the message goes to some inbound interface). 
    2. Can we write an external application (a Java swing client or something) which can send a message to this service interface?
    3. While writing a normal web services client we specify the url of the WSDL and then send a SOAP message using some APIs.
    4. Can this be achieved in XI? If so could you provide me some links or blogs etc to have some idea about this. Also how do we specify the URL of the interface.
    5. I have seen a similar application (an HTML file) which takes the XML payload (conforming to the message type of the interface) and sends the message to the interface. In this case the URL is formed from sender namespace, server name, port etc. The name of this HTML is XIHttp_adapter.html.
    6. Can somebody give me more inputs in this direction?
    Many Thanks,
    Sandeep

    Hi Sandeep,
    The Info below should surely help you find an answer.
    If you're on WAS 6.20 and up, you can expose an RFC as a webservice directly from WAS.
    Or if you’re on Basis layer 4.6D, you'll need to use XI (or some other integration tool) to expose the RFC as a webservice.
    To do this in XI you'll need to:
    Integration Repository
    1) Import the RFC
    2) Define a message and datatype for the SOAP interface
    3) Create inbound and outbound interfaces
    4) Create maps between the RFC and SOAP messages
    5) Create an interface map
    Integration Directory
    1) Create an RFC Receiver Channel
    2) Create a SOAP Sender Channel
    3) Generate the WSDL (Tools->Define Web Service)
    You can then handoff the WSDL and a login username and password to your developer and they will have everything they need to make the WS call.
    Here are answers to a few doubts u might have:
    1) Do I need to actually create a WS that calls the RFC ? Isn’t the virtual interface exposed by the XI sufficient?
    Yes, you need to create a WS in XI that calls the RFC.
    2) If I really have to create the WS and deploy it in order to expose it with the XI, then what is my benefit of exposing it with the XI, why not just exposing it as a normal WS ?
    You don't have WAS 6.20 or up. Even if you did, you may still want to expose it using XI in order to have all of your integration go through the same application.
    3) If I expose my web service through the XI, how does the client application executes one of its methods? To which url does it have to access (the XI or the actual WS)?
    You expose a SOAP interface in XI by generating a WSDL file. This file contains all of the information a developer will need to call the webservice including the URL.
    You actually specify the URL when you generate the WSDL. Be sure to read the documentation to get the correct format because the URL that the wizard suggests isn't correct.
    Also check this Pdf for the Receiever SOAP Adapter configuration:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40728f7b-0401-0010-d9bc-8c73884a3789
    Also the target URL must be the URL to the WSDL. So, if you try putting it in your browser you must see the wsdl code.Please do ensure the same.....
    I hope this helps.

    Abhy

  • Sending JMS messages as web services

    I am trying to read a JMS topic, retrieve an XMLBean from the queue, and send it

    when I post a message to the topic, it just disapears. No logging, no movement

    Hi Neil,
    Have you gone through the tutorial "how to" [1] on this subject? There
    is a basic JMS/webservice example [2], outside of WLW, that may be
    useful in validating your JMS/server configuration. Also, be sure to
    check the server log file for warning/error messages.
    Hope this is of some value,

    Hi Tim,
    I think the problem is that you are assuming that the data type, of the message
    argument to the onMessage(Message message) method in your MDB, is of type TextMessage.
    I agree that this seems logical, especially since you passed "a string" to the
    Message-style Web Service. However, this is not the case, because the WSDL uses
    the "xsd:anyType" as the data type for any argument you pass to the send() method
    ;-) This maps to a java.lang.Object in the WebLogic Web Services implementation,
    which is why you get the casting error. Try this instead:
    public void onMessage(Message msg)
         try
              String msgText;
              ObjectMessage objMessage = (ObjectMessage)msg;
              msgText = (String)objMessage.getObject();
    System.out.println("[PostDefaultPayment.onMessage(Message)] msgText=" + msgText);
    System.out.println("[PostDefaultPayment.onMessage(Message)] msg.getJMSType()="
    + msg.getJMSType());
    System.out.println("[PostDefaultPayment.onMessage(Message)] msg.getJMSCorrelationID()="
    + msg.getJMSCorrelationID());
    System.out.println("[PostDefaultPayment.onMessage(Message)] msg.getJMSMessageID()="
    + msg.getJMSMessageID());
         catch(Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();

  • 'Payload not Serializable' with custom WSDL data types in message-style web service

    I'm implementing a message-style web service which publishes to a JMS Queue.
    I had the web service built and deployed, but noticed that the "sendRequest" message's
    part was of type "xsd:anyType." This is not specific enough for our interface,
    since it is externally facing and needs to describe the object we're expecting
    on the back end.
    So I replaced xsd:anyType with mynamespace:MyType, which is defined as a complex
    type in the same WSDL document.
    My problem is that when I test the web service with the new WSDL (using the client.jar),
    I get a server-side exception from the DestinationSendAdapter.doPost() method.
    The exception reads:
    javax.servlet.ServletException: Payload not Serializable
    at weblogic.soap.server.servlet.DestinationSendAdapter.doPost(DestinationSendAdapter.java:129)
    The domain object ('classic' JavaBean) that it should map to on the server side
    extends a class that implements Serializable, so it should inherit the trait.
    So my questions are:
    1) Did I properly go about trying to restrict the object type that gets sent to
    my Destination?
    2) If no, what is the correct way? If yes, why am I receiving the Payload not
    Serializable error if the domain object implements Serializable?
    Thanks in advance.

    Resolved:
    Apparently this is the right approach, as it boiled down to a classpath issue
    on the client-side. Thanks anyway.

    I figured out what's going on. Undocumented by BEA, the web servicesends JMS

  • Message-based web service

    We are using CF 7.01 and have been successful in consuming
    web services in the past. We are unsuccessful however in consuming
    a web service where the client says is using a message-based (aka
    document style) web service. We are entering thier system but we
    error out in our attempt to access thier web service.
    In the cfcomponent I have even tried using style="document"
    but we are still erroring out. The nature of the error message at
    our end shows:
    -- start of error message...
    Message: Could not generate stub objects for web service
    invocation.
    Detail: Name:
    https://integrationdev.peopleclick.com/soap/echo. WSDL:

    /SOAP-ENV:Envelope): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL: Expected element '{
    http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/}definitions'.:
    It is recommended that you use a web browser to retrieve and
    examine the requested WSDL document for correctness. If the
    requested WSDL document can't be retrieved or it is dynamically
    generated, it is likely that the target web service has programming
    errors.
    -- ...end of error message.
    The message insinuates a WSDL problem. I understand
    message-based web services don't use a WSDL. Must I remove
    something from our standard RPC-based web service configuration?

  • How to get original message in web service implementation and proxy

    Hi,
    We have a java web service and its client (proxy) generated from WSDL by JDev wizards. All the parameters are mapped to classes, but we need a way to get the original message we send and receive in order to log it.
    Is there any way to get the SOAP message that is being sent/received?
    Thank you

    If you are using 10.1.3 or later releases, you can use the JAX-RPC handler to gain access to the message. Your SOAP payload can then been manipulated using the SAAJ APIs. You have also the option to log messages directly from OWSM.
    Best,

  • Idoc acknowledgement message to web service

    I am trying to set up the scenario SOAP sender>XI>IDoc Receiver.
    I have exposed the outbound, synchronous message interface as a web service, and I'm planning to use sync-async bridge in BPM.
    My problem is: I need a response message from SAP. Can I use an iDoc acknowledgement message for this purpose? If this is the case, how do I set up SAP to send this acknowledgement message to XI, and do I have to configure an iDoc sender channel for this purpose?
    Any comment is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Håvard

    One option - not a ABAP expert but this is what I understood with my discussions with my ABAP team when we were coveringt he same issue -
    In the Idoc Inbound Processing Code - write a ABAP Exit that after processing the Idoc will trigger the RBDSTATE report to trigger the AleAudit back to XI and XI will send it back to R3.
    It is surely possible, as the Aleaudits are triggered by RBDSTATE report instead, you can manually makde the Idoc procesing code to trigger this report immdeitaly and so on.
    An Abap , Ale_Idoc specialist will have the answer to this in seconds - on how to do this - but am not one

  • Fault handler triggered for "100 Continue" messages from web service

    I'm using the Flex/Flash "WebService" class to connect to a .NET4 web service.
    Things always work fine unless the service sends a "100 Continue" message,
    (which it does seemingly at random, which is allowed by HTTP1.1).
    The problem is that Flex/Flash does not appear to handle this message.
    It triggers the fault handler with the following message:
    "SOAP Response cannot be decoded".
    The message body pulled from the Flash Builder's "Network Monitor" window (raw view) is:
    HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
    Server: ASP.NET Development Server/10.0.0.0
    Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2012 14:42:25 GMT
    Content-Length: 0
    If I understand correctly, any client using HTTP 1.1 should be able to handle "100 Continue" messages even if they didn't ask for them.
    Does anyone know what's going on here?
    Here are the software versions of everything involved:
    Flash plugin: 11.3.300.257 (ActiveX)
    Flash Builder: 4.6
    Flex Compiler SDK: 4.6.0
    OS: WinXP Pro, 32-bit, SP3
    Browser: IE 8.0.6001
    Web Service: .NET framework 4
    Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!!

    Update: The problem also occurs with Firefox 12 using the debug version of FlashPlayer 11.3.300.257, so I don't think it's a browser issue... Looks like Flash itself.

  • Send events from a web service to subscribers

    Hi,
    In many programming interfaces in addition to the result returned by the method and an exception that can occur, you're able to receive asynchronous notification (aka events). My question is how this is enabled with web services. Let me give an example:
    The service foo has one operation called moo.
    MooInput is the input message for moo()
    MooOutput is the output message for moo()
    MooFault is the fault message for moo()
    Is it possible to be able to send events from moo during its execution to consumers listening to its events? if so, how are these expressed in the WSDL of foo?
    Thanks,

Especially at the moment I'm looking at the analogy of SNMP asynchronous events. The purpose of this would be later to compose events coming from multiple web services in BPEL compositions for management of service compositions as part of my research. I do need however the events that the service may send to be manifested somehow in the WSDL. Hope I'm not asking for too much :)
    I've never actually tried anything with WSDM/WS-Management and I was hoping I'd be able to avoid them this time as well...
    Thanks!Which all sounds like it's the sort of thing Notification should handle, if the specs are anything to go by. But without actually trying to put it all together I couldn't say how well it works with current packages (ie Axis 2 and JWS).

  • Properties of posted Messages via Web Services

    Hi all!
    Is it possible to post messages on a Queue by using Web Services? Yes, it is,
    BUT: I want also set some properties on the posted messages (javax.Message.setBooleanProperty(...)).
    If it isn't possible, how can I work around this?
    thanx!

    Hi Pieter,
    The servlets (or actually they're referred to as adapters) that place the messages
    on JMS destinations, are internal to the WebLogic Web Services platform, so you
    can't get at their implementation. These servlets are marked final, so you can't
    extend them either ;-) I suggest creating an RPC-style WebLogic Web Service, that
    acts as a message sender for the message you want to set the properties for, before
    this RPC-style WLWS sends it to the desired JMS destination. If the message is
    an XML document or document fragment, use literalxml encoding to send it to the
    RPC-style WLWS. Attach a "preamble" XML element to specify the JMS properties
    you want to set, and return an XML element containing whatever you need. Returning
    and XML element from the RPC-style WLWS will allow you a lot more flexibility
    here.

    In the first operation,
    "HelloPersonAcceptsXmlDocumentReturnsString", I try to send an XML
    object. In the second operation,
    "HelloPersonAcceptsXmlNodeReturnsString", I try to send the root
    node, xmlPerson.Person. In both cases, what actually gets sent is
    literally the text that I put in the <request>node, not the
    object that text is referencing. So for the first, "xmlPerson" gets
    sent to the target, not the XML doc that it refers to.
    In the third operation, I tried three different things, and
    two are commented out. I tried to reference the XML object using
    the toXmlString() method, but again, it literally sent the text
    "xmlPerson.toXmlString()". I tried the curly-brace binding, but
    then nothing gets sent to the web service. I also tried building
    the actual XML document node by node, with values, but I get an
    error from the web service saying it can't be parsed because there
    is an illegal character at Line 1, Position1. The only thing which
    has worked has been to add an Input Text box, copy-and-paste the
    exact same XML structure as I tried to manually build, and then use
    binding to the text property of the InputText control. Then it
    works fine. But I can't actually do that, it's just for testing.
    So my question is how to make a <request> node that is
    part of the web service operation that references an object and
    sends the value of that object to the web service, not literally
    whatever text is typed in that node. I looked at the Web Services
    and Data Binding sections of the help, and didn't see any examples
    covering this. Everything was far more simplistic with binding to
    controls. Can anyone help a newbie, please?

    I don't understand how this isn't a Flex Builder question,
    since it has to do with how Flex Builder interacts with web
    services and how objects are used in binding in MXML.
    But at any rate, I got this code to work, for future
    reference of anyone else looking in this forum:
    Declaring a custom class in MXML was key to allow proper
    binding:
    <CustomClasses:Person id="testPerson" xmlns:local="*"/>
    <mx:WebService id="MyService"
    wsdl="
    http://66.129.123.211/FlexTest/service1.asmx?WSDL"
    useProxy="false"
    result="resultHandler(event)">
    <!-- Input: XML Document...Output: String -->
    <mx:operation
    name="HelloPersonAcceptsXmlDocumentReturnsString">
    <mx:request>
    <personXmlDoc>{testPerson.GetXmlDoc()}</personXmlDoc>
    </mx:request>
    </mx:operation>
