hi,
Can anyone explain me how to compress a outgoing SOAP message from the
BPEL process to another BPEL process and setting header as Content-
Encoding: gzip.
Thanks in advance.

How to invoking secured service(HTTPS/SSL)from bpel Process

Hi all,
i am very new to fusion middle ware. i used jdeveloper 10.1.3.3 and soa-server 10.1.3.1.i need to pass secured wsdl(HTTPS/SSL) from one bpel Process to other. Let me know any certificates are required to do this?
I am looking forward to getting any advice from our forum.
thanks & Reagards,
Hari.

First of all make sure your jdeveloper and soa suite versions match otherwise you will get unpredictable results. I suggest that you upgrade SOA Suite to 10.1.3.4 as this is the latest version.
That aside I'm assuming that the bpel process are on the same instance. If this is the case Yes you do need certificates as you need to implement SSL on your SOA Installation. If you use a common certificate such as verisign then the process is simpler as you don't need to worry about the public key as they are standard with Oracle as they are with your browser. If you want to sign your own certificate then you will need to add your public key.
If your server is already SSL and it is verisign then you should have no issues you will be able to connect.

Passing HTTP Headers from BPEL to a RESTFul service in SOA 11g PS2.

Hi All,
We have the following requirement.
We need to pass the following headers to RESTFul service.
x_invensys_wss_username = "Some UserName"
x_invensys_wss_password = "Some Password".
I tried to first pass username and password properties by following below post.
Attach Http headers in BPEL Process
Specifically below steps..
Hi,
If you are talking about how to invoke a secured webservice...please follow this...
After creating the reference for your secured webservice in your composite, right click on the composite and say configure web service policies...
Add the security policy named "oracle/wss_http_token_client_policy"
And also, for the reference, create two binding properties
1. oracle.webservices.auth.username
2. oracle.webservices.auth.password
For the above two properties, provide the appropriate values.....
Please test the same after making this changes and let me know....
Thanks,
Narsing Pumandla
======================================================
Somehow i don't see the headers getting added to the call.
The service i am calling don't really need these headers.But the URL we will be calling shortly for the real application need them.
Can someone let me know whether this SOA version supports this or not.?
If yes , Then what is the best way to solve this issue.[i.e Able to send hardcoded values and also user specified values.]
Thanks,
Sid.

Calling HTTPS webservice from BPEL

Hi All,
We have enable SSL on soa 11g and its working fine.
We have developed and deployed a process on same soa server, Now we are trying to invoke this service (process) in another BPEL process.
While developing the second BPEL process in jdev we are not getting any error but while deploying (on the same server) its throwing error.
The second process gets deployed without any error if we dont call the HTTPS webservice(first BPEL process).
Please help.
Error desc:
Error during deployment: Deployment Failed: Unable to find a WSDL that has a definition for service {http://oracle.com/sca/soapservice/TSystemOrderProcessing/TSystemOrderProcessing/receivePO}receivePO and port execute_pt. Please make sure that the port attribute for the binding defined in the composite file is correct by checking the namespace, service name, and port name. In addition, check that the WSDL associated with the binding namespace is imported and currently reachable (check the import nodes at the top of the composite file). Finally, validate the HTTP proxy settings for the server..
[05:30:06 PM] Check server log for more details.
Regards,
Surendra

Hi Surendra,
It seems that WSDL for service receivePO is not available at the deployment time.

parameters when I am using http post but everything works fine when using
http get.
Enclosed is the wsdl that I am using.
Any information will be of great help

In the bpel you can make a http-binding instead of the default soap-binding.
Maybe this can help you making the call to the servlet/jsp.

Reading soap http request packets

im writing a class to obtain the soap http request from client on the server side. im not sure if i should be using the java.net class or the httpurlconnection or any other similar class. anyone have suggestions?
any tutorials on that? thanks

You can also use JAX-WS which can be found at http://jax-ws.dev.java.net.

401 Unauthorized:HTTP transport error while calling external WSDL from BPEL

Hi,
I have simple BPEL process whic calls siebel WSDL file through partner link.
I have successfully compiled and deployed BPEL process, when i initiate the Process, instace got errored out at invoke activity.
Error Goes like this
"<remoteFault xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension"><part name="summary"><summary>
exception on JaxRpc invoke: HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException:
java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Bad response: 401 Unauthorized</summary>
</part></remoteFault>"
Can anybody help on this issue, Could you please give me possible solution.
Thank youl.

we have not provided any authentication credentials to XMLSpy, we have just uploaded siebel WSDL file then sent the SOAP request with some customer Id then we have received proper response with all desired customer data.
In the same way we tried to call same siebel WSDL file from BPEL process throgh partner link. errored instance has created with 401 unauthorised HTTP transport error..
Do you think is this probem at siebel application side?
We have deployed our BPEL process to SOA server which is having HTTP port 7777.
as per my investigation,i found that we have to open port from siebel side (which WSDL file we are calling) which matches with above HTTP port number.
Do you have any idea on this above clue? Please let us know more details on this.

Any ideas on what the problem might be ?

Sandor,
Thanks. Your suggestion of turning off optSoapShortcut worked. So does that mean that by default remote web services cannot be invoked from BPEL process by SOAP - unless this configuration change is done ?

Calling Web Service with SOAP header from BPEL

Hi,
I am calling a web service (with header information) from BPEL. In the Invoke activity, i created a header variable to pass the header information.
But, when i test the BPEL service, invoke activity fails because the header information is not being passed.
Below is the error message (copied from clipboard).

How to call a web service from BPEL that requires HTTP basic authentication

Hi All,
I need to calling some Web Services from BPEL (SOA 10.1.3.1 production running on XP machine). The services require HTTP basic authentication.
I have tried adding httpUsername and httpPassword properties to the ParnterLink, and I see in BPEL Console that they are deployed by checking the descriptor page. But I still get a SOAP fault, HTTP 401: Unathenticated.
I have also tried using basicHeaders (from memory) = credentials, httpBasicUsername, and httpBasicPassword. Same result.
I have done a packet trace using Ethereal, and the headers do not seem to contain the userid and password at all.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Mark Nelson

Thanks Bas,
I have resolved the issue. The provider of the Web Service had not configured if for Basic Authentication. For some reason it worked when they tested, or maybe the did not test. The only thing I had to change was to use:
<property name="basicHeaders">credentials</property>
<property name="basicUsername">WMDATA</property>
<property name="basicPassword">WMDATA</property>
Instead of:
<property name="httpUsername">WMDATA</property>
<property name="httpPassword">WMDATA</property>
I don’t know why this is, maybe because it is an Axis Web Service.
Sorry for wasting your time.

How To : Call External Webservice from BPEL and pass SOAP Message to the WS

Hello All-
Greetings to all BPEL gurus. I am currently facing difficulties in calling an External Webservice from my BPEL Process and passing SOAP Message to it. The details are below:
<strong>1. The BPEL process, using database polling feature of DB Adapter, will get the records from the database.</strong>
<strong>2. Transform the message</strong>
<strong>3. Call the External Webservice and pass the transformed message as the input to it. However the Webservice expects the BPEL process to send SOAP headers in the input message.</strong>
I am struggling on how to put the transformed message within a SOAP envelope in the BPEL process.
If anyone had similar requirements and have successfully been able to send SOAP messages from BPEL process to an external webservice, kindly let me know.
Also if there is some kind of documentation or any link in the forum that I can refer, please let me know that as well.
I am new to Webservice integration using BPEL and would really appreciate your help.
Thanks In Advance

Hi Dharmendra,
I am trying to send a SOAP message from my BPEL process to a web service. I have a complete SOAP message in a complex variable defined in the wsdl for the partnerlink (web service). My problem is that when I invoke the partnerlink it fails even though the content shown in the BPEL console looks valid.
I have set up obtunnel to see what I am actually sending out from BPEL. You mention that BPEL creates the SOAP envelope automatically.
I think that my problem is a result of this automatic SOAP envelope that BPEL is creating. Do you know if there is a way to turn it off?
This is what I see in the TCP monitor, please note the double SOAP env:Body:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <env:Body> <RCMR_IN000002NR01 xmlns="urn:hl7-org:v3" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">

Passing SOAP header while invoking a web service partner link from BPEL

I followed the steps of adding bpelx.inputheadervariable. Which is supposed to add the soad header. But after running the BPEL process if I see the message in the console, I don't see the SOAP header. Is there any way to see how the SOAP header is passed or did I set it incorrectly?

Hi,
Try using obtunnel with your bepl console.
Alternatively, if your server is on unix/ linux, try tcpdump to capture packets to a particular server and then open the file in wireshark to analyse the contents.
Wish SOA suite would allow us to view this by default!

SAP Java lib for SOAP: is there any chance to use HTTP-compression?

We use 3rd party web service in java, they plan to use HTTP-compression to save the bandwidth. At the moment I have no idea how to turn it on in SAP Java libs for SOAP.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Kirill,
HTTP-compression is something, which occurs at the HTTP protocol level (transparent and below the SAOP protocol) and is controlled by HTTP protocol headers.
To enable HTTP-compression, you will "somehow" have to manipulate the http layer of the SAP SOAP stack.
Good starting point to look for further information is the NWDS help. Use the search topics "header compress".

HTTP compression: Excluding traffic from getting compressed

Hi-
We have a web application where we are trying to exclude certain traffic from getting compressed.
The following should get compressed:
http://www.domain.com/dir1/a.htm
but the following should not get compressed:
http://www.domain.com/dir2/b.htm
I have configured my Sun One web server obj.conf file as follows:
<Object name="default">
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/dir1" dir="/opt/myapp/dir1"
NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/dir2" dir="/opt/myapp/dir2"
<Client match="none"\
browser="*MSIE [1-3]*"\
browser="*MSIE [1-5]*Mac*"\
browser="Mozilla/[1-4]*Nav*">
Output fn="insert-filter" filter="http-compression" type="text/*"
</Client>
</Object>
<Object ppath="*dir2*">
Output fn="insert-filter" filter="http-compression" type="text/*" vary="off"
</Object>
But the objects (GIFs, HTML, TEXT, etc) where the dir2 condition is met are still getting compressed. Would someone be able to assist me?
Thanks,
Nimbus

It looks like you expected the vary parameter to control whether the http-compression SAF compresses content. It doesn't. The vary parameter controls whether the http-compression SAF adds a Vary: header field to the response.
If you don't want all files to be compressed, you should remove the Output fn="insert-filter" filter="http-compression" directive from the default object. You can instead create a new object only for those files you wish to be compressed:<Object ppath="/opt/myapp/dir1/*">
<Client match="none"
        browser="*MSIE [1-3]*"
        browser="*MSIE [1-5]*Mac*"
        browser="Mozilla/[1-4]*Nav*">
Output type="text/*"
       fn="insert-filter"
       filter="http-compression"
</Client>
</Object>
