Showing data from a web service in a DataGrid

My web service returns a complex XML document (ie. not a
"flat" one). I'm able to consume the web service and create an
XMLList and XMLListCollection based on the return value. If I make
parts of the XML simple ("flat") I'm also able to bind values into
a DataGrid row. However, I haven't succeeded in trying to display
XML attribute values in this same DataGrid or values from elements
in other XML branches of the XML.
So, I have an XML structure
<root>
<element1>
<se1>A</se1>
<se2>B</se2>
</element1>
<element2>
<se3 value="1"/>
<se4 id="2">C</se4>
</element2>
</root>
I can easily display (A,B) in a DataGrid, but how about (A,
B, 1, 2, C) in a single row?
I can find a bit similar examples in the internet, but for
some reason I can't make it work. I'm using web services from
ActionScript with a handler, I imported WSDL into the project, I
don't have any MXML WebService components (would they make a
difference?), I haven't specified E4X anywhere (should I ?). I can
display single attribute values in a normal text field.
Could someone please tell me the trick or point some
directions to look at. Thanks.

I am searching for a simple example of retrieving data from a web services, but cant find.
How can i get xml data from a web service. i dont need to develop the web service it is already ready, i just need how could i fetch data from it.
Can somebody point out or give an example?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
just create a skeleton for the Web Service. In JDeveloper, create a new project and then use the "NEW" context menu option.
Navigate to "Business Tier" --> Web Services and select "Web Service Proxy"
In teh following, provide the WSDL reference to create the Java proxy. This gives you accss to the WS without having to parse the XML yourself

Get xml data from a web service into Forms?

Hello folks! I am reading active directory info from a web service into forms via imported java classes. I can read from functions that return strings just fine, but I have to get the output from getGroupUsers which returns an XmlDataDocument. How do I read this in and parse it in Forms?
I will be grateful if y'all could point me to an example.
Thank you,
Gary
P.S. Here is a snippet of how I get the full name by passing an ID:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(100);
BEGIN
jo := ADSoapClient.new;
rv := ADSoapClient.getUserName(jo, 'user_ID');
:block3.fullname := rv;

Hello,
Since you are already dealing with server-side JAVA, I would suggest you create a method that would do the parsing server-side and what your PL/SQL will be dealing with is just the return string.
Here is a method I use to read an XML file (actually, it is an Oracle Reports file converted to XML) and from the string version, I will do search, replace and other things.
So, from getGroupUsers which returns an XmlDataDocument, you can adapt this method to get your data server-side and let the form module read the output data.
<blockquote>
private String processFileXml(String fileName, int iFile) throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXException,
IOException, XPathExpressionException{
try{
DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
domFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(new File(fileName));
DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(inputStream);
StringWriter stw = new StringWriter();
Transformer serializer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
serializer.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(stw));
return stw.toString();
catch (Exception e){
System.err.println(e);
System.exit(0);
return "OK";

Let me know if this is of nay help.
Thanks.

Thank you for your post.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses

Loading data from a web service to BW

Hi
I have a web service from a company we work with,
It looks like http://xxxx.info/CustomerMissions.asmx
I want to take the data that the web service returns and upload it into SAP BW.
We are in BW 70105.
I've read about the soamanager transaction and I want to know if that's the way to go.
I've managed to run the transaction and started configuring it, but I couldn't find a good guide.
Any suggestions?

Converting string data from a web service respons into XML structure of XI

Hi,
We receive a string structure from a web service.
The string structure has an xml type format, that is all the tags and its content are in one line .
The WSDL file of the webservice defines its response structure as a string type.
How do i convert this string into proper XML structure (predefined by me in Integration repository).
OR how do i make XI understand this string as an XML structure for further processing.
Later i have to map this XML message type into IDoc.
Himani

Hi Himani,
Please find the code for ur requirement -
String need to parse -<response_webservice><from_date>20080101</from_date><to_date>20080202</to_date></response_webservice>
Below mentioned code will convert it to -<MT_DATA><FROMDATE>20080202</FROMDATE><TODATE>20080101</TODATE></MT_DATA>
Create a Message type and map it like this using java mapping ( no need to use Graphical mapping).
Use MT_DATA as source and map it to your target structure .

How to add "Prepare Data" from a web service to the form

Hello,
Can any one please advise on how to add the "Prepare Data" process from the existing web service and have the form to pre-populate the data from this "Prepare Data" process instead of using schema xsd. I heard that this is an alternative or may be a better way to pre-populate data in ES2/ES3 to avoiding creating a data source in Form Designer. I try to find a sample on Adobe site but could not find one, most of them are using schema.
Any guidance or URL to the sample would be helpful.
Thanks,

XML data from a Web Service sometimes missing fields I need, any ideas on a trap?

I get reports from our ERP via a web service to SSRS. Just got asked to make a tweak in a report and find that the WebService only sends data that is needed for this transaction. My issue is our entire system is based around EACH item we make.
New Trading Partner got Case Price. We put two of our items together in a box for them is all that happened.
Need to identify package column that had "ea" hard coded.
When I get a cs item there are more elements that identify conversion factor UOM etc. They are only sent down for CASE items. How do I trap for a column not being there 99.98555% of the time?
_conv = conversion factor. I only receive it with a 2,4,6 in it whe4n the item is not an each.
=iif(Len(Fields!tcibd003_conv.Value) >0 , Fields!inh4470_qshp.Value / Fields!tcibd003_conv.Value , Fields!inh4470_qshp.Value )
How do I trap for this? I tried Fields!tcibd003_conv.IsMissing but that didn't seem to work as expected.
TIA

Hello,
Sorry, I cannot get your requirment and report design structure currently. Can you post the following information to us ? It is benefite us for further analysis.

How to update data from a web service

Hi all,
I have a webservice that returns some data as e4x type. I
pull the data i need and put it into an object. I manipulate that
data, then I want to write it back with another webservice. I get
serialization errors when I call the update method. I must be doing
something wrong here. Can anyone help?
Webservice Methods:
<mx:operation name="FetchfrmContact" resultFormat="e4x"
result = "fetchfrmContactResultHandler()">
<mx:request/>
</mx:operation>
<mx:operation name="updatefrmContactCampaigns"
resultFormat="e4x"
result="updatefrmContactCampaignsResultHandler()">
<mx:request/>
</mx:operation>
Below is what .lastResult looks like from the fetch method of
the webservice. I update the different campaign fields by adding or
removing them in an object called contactData.

The fetch method returns an object of type FrmContactType and
the update method takes an object of type FrmContactType as it's

Here is the result handler of the fetch method
private function fetchfrmContactResultHandler() : void

wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult..contactFirst;
contactData.contactLast =
wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult..contactLast;

contactData.contactDocID =

if( wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult )
contactData.campaignsReceived = new XMLListCollection(
wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult..campaignsReceived );
contactData.campaignsSubscribed = new XMLListCollection(
wsfrmContactLookup.FetchfrmContact.lastResult..campaignsSubscribed
contactData.campaignsOptedOut = new XMLListCollection(

checkBoxSubscribed[index].selected = true;
if( contactData.campaignsOptedOut.length > 0 )
for( index = 0; index < checkBoxOptedOut.length; index++
checkBoxOptedOut[index].selected = true;
In my code I update the contactData object, then call the
update method passing contactData as it's parameter and it barks at
me. Any ideas why I'd be getting the error message shown below?

Stacked Bar Chart with data from a Web Service

Hi,
I'm working on Dashboard Design (version 14.0.1.287) and I'm trying to create a chart linked to data from a webservice.
With a Year in input, my webservice gives an Amount per Cities and Products
Data retrieved look like this (Sheet1) :
Paris          Tablets          45
Paris          Laptops          12
Paris          Cellulars          89
New-York     Tablets          56
New-York     Laptops          36
New-York     Cellulars          1
Londres          Tablets          150
Londres          Laptops          3
Londres          Cellulars          45
Then I use a Pivot Table (created manually in Excel) looking like this (Sheet2) :
               Tablets     Laptops     Cellulars
Paris          45          12          89
New-York     56          36          1
Londres          150          3          45
The chart is a Stacked Bar Chart plugged on the previous Pivot Table
I create 3 series (one per Product), values (X) are set with Amount
Category labels (Y) are set with Cities
The goal is to have a dynamic chart (series and categories must update if a new city or a new product appears)
So my question is : how can I set up the chart directly with data retrieved from webservice on Sheet1?
Thx a lot !

hi
First thing , bad news if you are using .Net framework 1,
just forget it, Flex 2 doesn't work well with framework 1, but 2nd,
good news, if you want to use webservices, you'll have to make an
array of objects on .Net Side and send it as objects to flex, i saw
an example on the net but i can't seem to remember where, on the
other hand,if you want to simply use, like i do, HTTPSERVICE its a
very nice way to talk with .Net and you can see my example here
http://flex1-for-dummies.blogspot.com
By the way, in your code, you have a request tag , but you
aren't requesting anything, because if you were you would have to
make like this
<mx:request>
<Artist>{yourinputtext.text}</Artist>
</mx:request>
So if you don't have an input text, you don't need a request
tag, only the operation.

I can't figure out data binding from a web service.

Hi,
I've been trying to figure out how to connect a TreeTable control with data from a non-SAP web server. Here's what I have so far;
    I have a sample program that uses json in a variable called oData.
    I have a TreeTable control named oTable.
    I create a model;
        var oModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
    I feed the oData variable into it;
        oModel.setData(oData);
    Finally, I feed the oModel to the oTable;
        oTable.setModel(oModel);
That all makes sense. What I want to do is get the data from a web service. The only examples I've been able to find show how to configure an SAP data service and then connect to that. They don't give any details of the format that the SAP data service is sending. I don't have access to an SAP system so I can't set one up to reverse-engineer the data. I'm going to be writting my own oData service for this so I need a couple of things;
    1. An example of json or xml data as it's sent from a web server.
    2. An example of how you pull that data from the web service to an SAP ui model.
I could really use some help. I haven't been able to find any examples that make sense to me.

Hi Joe
Here is an small example. Maybe it is useful to you.
In this example, I bind the tree to /root and you can see that we have 0: 1: elements under each element recursively.
Thanks

Connecting to Data via a web service: WSDL vs HTTP REST

I created an app and easily was able to get my data from my web service via connecting using the WSDL file. I then added RESTful to my web service and tested it via SOAPUI and then I created a copy of my original app and deleted the link to my service and then added it but this time using the HTTP connection and I was able to connect, I was able to get my value objects created via the xml parser. However, for some reason, my date fields are not working. I went into debug and it says they are invalid. I checked the xml for both the web service WSDL version and the HTTP RESTful and they look the same. So why all of the sudden does my dates not work?
SOAPui from web service
<endDate>2011-05-30T09:53:00-06:00</endDate>
RESTful address
<endDate>2011-05-30T09:53:00-06:00</endDate>
RESTful Flash
endDate:Date
WSDL Flash
endDate:Date

DS Version: 14.2.1.224 (14 sp1)
Job Server 14.2.2.5xx (14 sp2)
Configuration on the Web Service:
URL:
https://maxcvservices.dnb.com/Company/V4.0?wsdl
https://maxcvservices.dnb.com/FirmographicsProduct/V3.2?wsdl
WSS User: provided the name
WSS Pass: provided the pass
Timeout set to 500
All other settings are blank.
Does something need to be defined on the job server?
The WSDL does not even open on the workstation unless I use an adapter. I had found an article/help/note (something) that the web service in SAP DS does not work with HTTPS and it does with an HTTP Adapter.
I do not have access to Job Server, will have to schedule some changes if there is config that has to happen there.
Thanks for your input.
Cheers,
Ryan

In my xcelsius, i have option to make it to cross-tab.
when i use that data( data above by manual) to excel spreadsheet. The data will change to
Group______________Floor1________________Floor2______________GrandTotal
Member____________5000000_____________ 3200000_____________8200000
GrandTotal__________5000000_____________ 3200000_____________8200000
But when i load the data from web service,It doesn't show anything.
(when i use list view to show data from web server, i see all data)
How can i load data from web service and show the data like manually?
Best Regards,
