Setting up the webserver to call a Web service from Oracle9i Forms

We have successfully ran the demo (currencyExchange) from our pc but now want to deploy it through our server on Unix. Could someone help us with the correct steps to follow? Do we just copy the CurrencyExchangeServiceStub.class and archive1.jar files to the server?
Thanks,
Terry

There is a bit more to it than that- if you are familiar with JDeveloper, it has wizards for publishing web services and deploying...check out on the JDeveloper forum or on line help.

Call a web services from oracle forms 10

I have to call a web services from oracle forms.
The version of the database is oracle 11gr2. the version of the forms is 10.1.2.0.2.
I allready did the proxy creation and the import class within forms.
I have 2 questions:
1.
I created the following procedure:
PROCEDURE call_WS IS
vobject1 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
vobject2 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
BEGIN
vobject1 := WSEvaluarReglaCondicionComerci.new();
vobject2 := WSEvaluarReglaCondicionComerci.listarValoresAtributoEvento(vobject1, 702, 2217, null, null, null);
END;
the function I calling:
FUNCTION listarValoresAtributoEvento(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a1 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a2 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a3 VARCHAR2,
a4 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT) RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
Note that the parameters is ORA_JAVA_JOBJECT and I need to send numbers. I understand that when I import the classes, because in the WS those parameters are defined as BigDecimal, Forms understand them as java object but when I compile it reports the error: "numero o tipo de argumento erroneo al llamar..." type error.
So the question is, how Cast the numbers to Java Object to send them.
I have read in a web page that one option is to change in the web service the type of the parameters but that is not an option.
2.
The WS returns a super big XML as answer, so how I can parse the result into an Object type?...
The object structure is:
TYPE opciones_obj AS OBJECT
(strindice VARCHAR2 (4000),
nombrecompleto VARCHAR2 (4000),
nombre VARCHAR2 (4000),
strtipodato VARCHAR2 (4000),
codigoopcion NUMBER,
floatval FLOAT,
strtipo VARCHAR2 (4000),
strval VARCHAR2 (4000));
and the tags to extract is:
COLUMNS strindice VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strIndice"]/ns2:value',
nombrecompleto VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="nombreCompleto"]/ns2:value',
nombre VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="nombre"]/ns2:value',
strtipodato VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strTipoDato"]/ns2:value',
codigoopcion NUMBER
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="codigoOpcion"]/ns2:value',
floatval FLOAT
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="floatVal"]/ns2:value',
strtipo VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strTipo"]/ns2:value',
strval VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strVal"]/ns2:value') x;
xquery / xmltype aparently is not an option because the xml is too big.
I will appreciate your answers.
Thanks.

Calling a Web service from Oracle Forms....

Hi ,
I 've tried to follow the steps described in the link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_10g/deploy/callws_fromforms/forms_webservice.htm
which uses : a)JDeveloper 9.04 and b)Oracle Forms 9.0.4.
However , i have installed Oracle Forms 10.1.2 and JDeveloper 10.1.2. (Developer Suite 10.1.2.).
The problem is that in JDeveloper 10.1.2. the type of applications and menus and properties and.... have changed and i cannot finish the tutorial!!!!!
Is there any document/example showing how to create a web service in JDeveloper and call it form Oracle Forms....?????
NOTE: I have also installed JDeveloper 10.1.3...
Many thanks ,
Simon

Check the JDeveloper tutorials page on OTN (linked from the JDeveloper home page) and you'll find a tutorial on creating a web service.
The steps to invoke it from Forms should be the same.
googling on Oracle Forms web services will bring a few more samples.

Call XI Web Service from Adobe form. URGENT pleaseeee

Hi everyone!
Help!I need to implement an Adobe Interactive Form, this form has to call / consume a XI Web Service. I 'm able to call a normal web service, I got the "Interactive Forms and Web Service Integration" tutorial. The problem is when the button who calls the XI WS, there is an error: Error when trying to access the file:..............
any idea? I'm sure there is a problem of authentication, but I don't know how to pass these parameters from adobe to the WS. Maybe the data connection creation have to be in a different way....
Any Idea will be great
Thank you in advance

RE: Calling a Web service from Oracle Forms 11g

I wonder if anyone could please help with the following
We have a requirement for a real time communication between Oracles Forms (11g) and SAP over the RR LAN network.
This would require the need to send info to and receive info from SAP as it will be an on-line validation of a Part from an Oracle FORM to SAP (response less than 1 second).
What would be the best and easiest way to code this an Oracle FORMS trigger.
Thanks very much

Calling web service from oracle forms 10g

Problem Description:
I'm following the steps as per the doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gr2/howto/webservicefromforms/ws_10_1_3_from_forms.html
to create a java stub to call external web service and then use java importer in oracle forms to call this web service from oracle forms.
WSDL for external web service used is http://gend:83/DesignService.svc?wsdl
The service was developed by us.
Calling the web service using JDeveloper works fine but when I complie in Oracle Forms it returns wrong number of types of arguments in call SENDHELLO.
The code from oracle form to call web service is as below:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
xo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(2000);
ex ora_java.jobject;
str varchar2(100);
BEGIN
jo := GendServiceClient.new;
rv := GendServiceClient.sendHello('Nora');
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
message(Exception_.toString(ex));
END;
Any help/ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Edited by: KE Nora Loera on Jun 1, 2012 1:24 PM

My primary skill is PL/SQL but the only information I found on Oracle's site to call a web service from a 10g Form was creating a jar file and importing the java class. Since I don't want to ask our corporate IT to make changes on the UNIX box for the jar files I went a different route.
I use UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST to call a URL then load I load the data to a table as a CLOB since we have more than 4000 characters. Now I need to parse the XML and load it into a form. I have never done this so if there is a helpful site please let me know. I have looked at several sites but none do what I want.
Thanks

Calling web service from oracle forms fails with ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR

Problem Description:
I'm following the steps as per the doc:

Yes, it is the message line - so basically this call fails => rv:= CurrencyConvertorStub.ConversionRate(jo,'CAD','USD'); and control goes in the exception block
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
Below is the code from java stub that was generated using JDeveloper by using web services stub/skeleton and associating the WSDL

Body requestBody = new Body();
Vector requestBodyEntries = new Vector();

requestData.add(new Object[] {"FromCurrency", FromCurrency});
requestData.add(new Object[] {"ToCurrency", ToCurrency});

How to call a web Service from Oracle Applications?

Hi friends,
I've posted this question on OA Framework forum , but may be it's more appropiated put it here. Sorry for do it again:
It's about how to call a web service from a Form or a .sql (via Request) in Oracle Applications:
Could you please explain here the detailed steps (with code example if it's possible) to invoke a webservice from Oracle Applications?.. how did yo do it...?
I've read differents posts here and the 33097.1 metalink note (by the way, the first recommended link in this note is broken...), but there are lots of theorical concepts and no real examples to see how/from where invoke the WS
I'll have to call one webservice (I suppose the customer will give me the interface implementation)...but I've never did it with Applications so that's why I ask you for all the detailed steps...
I work with Forms 6i, Apps 11.5.10.2 and DB 9.2.0.7.
Thanks a lot.
Jose.

Hello Jose,
I did using java program to call BPEL web services in 11.5.10.
I pasted below the metalink note for your reference (Note:250964.1)
The idea is first write a java program to call the webservice (in my case it is calling an BPEL web service, so this may not help directly), test it.
Then port the java program as specified in the note, so that you could call your web service through concurrent manager scheduler.
Is this ok?
Thanks
Arun.

Calling a Web Service from forms

Hello,
I'm trying to call a web service from within forms (10gR2). I have generated a stub from the wsdl via jdeveloper, and imported the appropriate classes to my form. My problem is that the webservice requires 2 java objects passed to it. The first is a simply "row" structured object which is no problem, but the second object is an array of "record structures". I have created a pl/sql table of ora_java.jarray and populated the elements and rows of this table accordingly (using the java classes generated), but I have no knowledge of how to convert this pl/sql table to the java object that is to be passed to the web service. Could anyone propose a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Robert

The java generated provides the following classes
hdrobjuser1 which is a structure consisting of string, string, decimal, string, date, string (the first parameter of the webservice call),
dtlobjuser1 which is a structure consisting of string, string, decimal, string, string, string, decimal
dtlobj1 which is an array of dtlobjuser1 (the second parameter of the webservice call)
The problem is that I have methods to generate and populate both the hdrobjuser1 and dtlobjuser1 classes, but there is no method that I can use to create array elements within the dtlobj1 array

Does any one have insights about it?

Hi Swapna,
from your screenshot it seems that you actually try to call the service in your Data Source Expression field. You should set path to the WSDL file here actually - this could be either URL to SAP or to filesystem, as Anton suggested (this could be faster). Have you created endpoint binding for your service in transaction SOAMANAGER? If yes, then simply download the corresponding WSDL with binding or copy the URL which leads to it. But also test whether you are able to retrieve the WSDL without logging into SAP (close all browser windows and then open a new one otherwise session ID from other browser windows can be reused).
If you have to give username and password, then setup anonymous alias in transaction SICF, for example.
Pleas, check my previous post on the same subject here: Re: BCM7 IVR : SOAP request for client identification in CRM .
Maybe it could help.
Regards,
Dawood.

Are you expecting us to guess at the message you received when you got the 28868?
I guess: "the wallet is closed."
If I guessed correctly then open it.
ALTER SYSTEM SET ENCRYPTION WALLET OPEN IDENTIFIED BY "<your_wallet_password_here>";If I didn't guess correctly then you need to provide all of the information you neglected in your original post.
Start with the version number.

QName error while calling a web service from Sourcing

I need to call a web service from Sourcing script. The web service team has provided us the WSDL and I have generated the required stubs using wsimport and packaged the required java classes in a custom JAR. Now while calling a web method using this jar from my script, I am getting and exception. The exception message that I printed out was this:
Caught exception e with msg Connection IO Exception. Check nested exception for details. (Connection
IO Exception. Check nested exception for details. (Connection Exception; nested exception is:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: cannot create QName from "null" or "" String).)
The same jar and same code works fine when called from a standalone java program.
I am not using or creating QName anywhere in my script. The only place where QName is used is in the generated java class and there it is created from the correct namespace URL
Can anyone please help me out in figuring out what is the issue?

I tested the same custom JAR, that is deployed in Sourcing, separately using a standalone java program and there it gave back the correct SOAP response

How can we call a WEB SERVICE from an Oracle DB?

<h2>
What the methods available to call a WEB SERVICE from the DB. I.e. through a DB Stored Procedure?
I was given this article by a colleague, but since it’s a 2005 one, I feel it could be outdated?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/mensah_dws.html
Also, is it possible to write ONE “Common” DB stored procedure to call ANY WEB SERVICE?
</h2>

<h2> No Girish, what I meant is, since it is 2005 article, the method it describes to call a WS is out of date.
Because I am quite sure in 2009, 4 years later Oracle must have added built-in packages and other methods to simplify it???
Also, I would be very grateful if you advice on the other issue: Is there a way to create a single DB stored procedure to call ANY WS?? i.e. a common routine to call any web service?
