Hi Palnati,
If you want you can use the How to guide for this purpose. It explains clearly about the steps involved in it and its very easy.

Generating WSDL using Integration Directory (Tools-Define Web Service)

Hi,
I have tested the "Define Web Service" tool in Integration Directory - some question;
1) It's a little bit frustrating to change the URL after clicking the "Propose URL" button - is it possible to configure somewhere the right URL
http://<srv>:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=<party>:<service>:<cchannel>
2) The generated WSDL is not according to the basic profile for WSDLs - wrong encoding="ISO-8859-1" - supposed to be "UTF-8"|"UTF-16" - is it possible to configure how the WSDL is generated?
I'm not sure, but I think there is a issue related to the type of binding for a binding.
3) A web service can consists of several methods - is there a tool for generating a WSDL for several interfaces?
It's "boring" to manually copy-paste from several generated WSDLs to one main WSDL for a web service
Anyway, by using XMLSpy and SoapScope, everything works just fine

a single data type will refer to multiple data types data.
You can refer one Data type in other Data Type but it wont be available under a different root node.....the root node will the the DT name under which you are referring the other DTs......you can do this by:
DT --> Give the appropriate name to a node --> While selecting the Type for this node select Data types --> select the DT from the list available....for this you should first include all the schemas in IR i.e. you should first create individual DTs by importing the schema (DT --> XSD --> Import Data Type Definition from File)
You have a huge list of schemas!

Define Web Service - Send Asynchronous Message

Hi All,
I have to send an asynchronous message from a java web application to XI. For this I tried to used the Define Web Service option in XI. However the documentation says that this tool can be used only for Synchronous interfaces. Is this the case even now? What would be an alternate approach to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi,
As explained above , no need to have the webservice only in the case of Sync communication , you can also achieve this by way of generating the WSDL from ID -- tools and added the Quality of service = EO.

Define Web Service as WSDL with Schemas

Dear All,
I would like to define Web Services by using XI/PI expose to consumer. Is it possible to define or separate the data type as schema (.xsd) from wsdl?
Thank you.

Define Web Services in XI and call Web Services from XI

Xi guys,
I want to create some Web services in XI that will do the following things:
receive an XML message over SOAP (from BEA WebLogic), execute 2-3 calls to an external HTTP Web Server from which I will get a response, export a file into another system, and return the response to the WS client.
As far as I know, I will have to create a Configuration scenario in XI that will contain all these steps (obviously with the help of BPM) and with the help of the Wizard, I will produce the WSDL, the function of which the Web service client will be able to call. I have some questions on that:
a) Is there a way to define with XI only one Web Service that will contain 3-4 function to do different things? Or one Web Service corresponds to one Configuration scenario?
b) Also do I need a Sender Agreement and a Sender SOAP communication channel?
c) Is there a way to construct the WSDL before creating the configuration scenario? Because BEA WebLogic people need it to start development.
Best Regards
Evaggelos Gkatzios

hi,
a) Is there a way to define with XI only one Web Service that will contain 3-4 function to do different things?
     Or one Web Service corresponds to one Configuration scenario?
b) Also do I need a Sender Agreement and a Sender SOAP communication channel?
Ans:
     If you are create a SOAP communication channel and Sender Agreement then One WSDL used
     One Configuration scenario.Another configuration you need to create another WSDL.Because at the
     time of creating WSDL you need to give a service name and communication channel.
     If without communication channel(using proposal consept creating WSDL) you can use that various
     senarios if your sender structure is same.(this time WSDL have the pipeline address with help
     of message interface fine the mapping and gave the output).
     If you create with SOAP communication channel and Sender Agreement WSDL is more secure.
     with out communication channel is not a secure one.
     If you go with (without sender CC) you can create and gave a WSDL before Scenario.
     If you have sender CC then after creating a scenario only you can able to gave WSDL.
     If you are createing with sender cc then you need to give a URL
     [http://<host>:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:SenderService:SenderCC]

"Define Web Service" - Security Issues

Hello all,
I have successfully defined a Web service with the wizard in ID. So I already have my WSDL file.
Now, I need to use this WSDL file from a Web Application that exposed to all public internet.
Now my question is, how is security managed for this web service? I mean, if the web service is exposed to any user of the web application in the internet, how can I assure that, the information in the WSDL file will not be used to access the XI Server with out authorization?
Who should be in charge of the security, the web application? the web service? or xi?
Thanks,
Felipe

If you are using the SOAP Adapter for receiving the information it provides the features like
1. HTTP without Client Authentication
2. HTTP with Client Authentication
Even you can select Security Prameters like
1. Web Service Security
2. S/MIME
If you configure all this then which other kind of security you are looking for.

Any stress tool for Web Services ?

Hi all.
Does any of you know a good (and possibly free, of course) tool to make stress tests on a web service ?
What I need is simply something that can simulate several clients accessing my service at once...
Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot. Exactly what I wanted

[jaxrpc] defining web services and WSDL spec

Greetings,
I'm starting in JAXRPC web service's concepts and its WSDL specification. After I tested some samples from the jaxrpc tutorial, I tried to make my custom web service, but, I have problems when I deploy the web service and I tried to see in my browser the endpoint url - I got a internal server exception! I pick up the hello sample, I added to it my custom core sample web service functionality - using the same operations, the same signatures methods - and it worked fine!!
So, what' is wrong? The main difference between them is that I have differents configuration files for xrpcc that will give a wsdl files for each one. Whats changes? The service name? The interface/package name? Is there some kind of limitation in the package name convention with the service names beyound the basic ones in the xrpcc (jaxrpc) specification?
thanks,
Pedro Salazar.

How to Call web service operation by creating plain SOAP message in client?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
I have some questions about using web methods of a web service which i would be very gratfull if you could answer.
I should implement a web service that should receive a file with some other parameters from client and another web service which should receive some parameters and return a file.
I used a mechanism like the following one to handle the condition and it just works. But I have a problem, I need to create dynamic invocation and I must create soap message and send it to webservice (no IDE generated code)
What i need is one or two tips or a sample that shows how we can send and receive files by web services.
I want to know how we can create the SOAP message ourself and then send it to the web service endpoint and it call the web method and ....
Imagine the following web method, How i can invoke it by creating soap message myself and sending it to end point.
@WebMethod
public String saveFile(@WebParam(name = "fileName") String fileName, @WebParam(name = "fileContent") byte[] fileContent) {
// TODO implement operation
return "Something";
Another question is :
Does this mechanism that i used to transfer files is OK?
Is it optimized or there are some other ways to do this job.
I should say that i put one week on handlers to use soap attachments and i get no result.
So, Please let me know if you know or have some sample that show me how to do the above job.
Thanks.

Hi
From NW04s SP8 you can create webservice systems from within VC , and you will have the option of adding a user and password to authenticate. You can find it at Tools>>Define web service system. You will see a check box url requires user and password.
If for some reason you can not do it in VC then you should create the system in the portal and fill out the usermapping screens.

Web services IN XI

Hi all,
I´m new to WS, I have to public a WS from XI. It is going to be called from an external java program. This external program is going to send data to XI, XI is going to process it and send back to the java program the result for example the output from a mapping. My question is:
If there are any error in XI it is going to be sent throw the xi WS?
I would appreciate information or where a can find this information.
Many thanks

hi,
to establish a web service it is quiet simple.
Just establish your process and in directory, you
can define your web service (Tools -> define web
service) based on an SOAP outbound interface.
Important is the URL you have to give while defining.
It should be like in this blog:
/people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/03/01/testing-xi-exposed-web-services
More complicate is consuming web service with Java.
I first test them with the tool XML Spy. I also
tried it with Java directly, but failed. But I just
tried it not seriously, but if you have a solution
let me know
The problem is the authentification I think.
Once a web service is consumed (for example with XML
Spy) error messages will be returned by XI.

chris

XI Web Service - Code: (401) Unauthorized.

Hi all,
I'm new in XI. I'm trying to expose an outbound interface as a WebService.
From "Integration Directory" GUI -> Tool -> Define Web Service ... and save de WSDL in a local file.
Then I created a java client with WebDynpro model wizard from WSDL file.
When I test the client the next error appears:
"Service call exception; nested exception is: com.sap.engine.services.webservices.jaxrpc.exceptions.InvalidResponseCodeException: Invalid Response Code: (401) Unauthorized."
I tried to assign permissions to admin role in the Visual Adminstrator but a can't find the "XI Interface Web Service" that was generated.
So, i don't know what to do.
I'll apreciate any help.
Regards,
Diego.

Bypass Adapter URI Endpoint with Escape Character for Web Service

Dear All,
I would like to apply by pass adapter URI Endpoint for XI webservice, the default format is
http://<host>:<port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry&version=3.0&Sender.Service=<BusinessService>&Interface=<namespace>^<Outbound Interface name>
If I am using format using with carat () character then there has no problem to the service, but consumer doesn't support carat () character. I instead the carat (^) with URL Escape Character (%5E)
http://<host>:<port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry&version=3.0&Sender.Service=<BusinessService>&Interface=<namespace>%5E<Outbound Interface name>
Then error occurred
<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

Hi ,
as per my knowledge.....................
When you create a WSDL with the help of a wizard. In the Integration Directory, choose Tools -> Define Web Service to enter the wizard.
On Propose URL button, as this genertated URL default Point to Entegration Engine.. SO already proformance wise Good.
If You want to Point your URL to adapter engine , use below given URL this will point ur incoming soap message to SOAPadapter sender channel
http://<host>:<j2ee-port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:<service>:<channel>.

BAPI as Web Service in XI 2.0

Hi there,
I have been struggling for about a week trying to <u>deploy/call a BAPI as a Web Service in XI 2.0. </u>
However, despite all my attempts I didn't manage to get this "simple" scenario to work.
My conclusion until now; is that XI 2.0 just does not or is not ready to provide this kind of functionality.
Hopefully in version 3.0 all these shortcomings will be part of the past.
Regards,
Rob.
Message was edited by: rob viana

Hi rob, how are you ?
I have done this at least two weeks, to validate the concept, I had some problems until proceed correctly but, yes, works fine !
First I did import the BAPI_MATERIAL_GETLIST, create 2 data types, one to receive parameters from webservice client and map to BAPI call, and another to get the BAPI response(I have created an sync interface), so, created 2 message types, corresponding to 2 data types, and 1 message interface specifying the outbound and inbound message types.
So, I did create two message mappings, one to map the request to BAPI and another to map the response to client, and a interface mapping to set the request and response with respective mappings and interfaces.
After, I did create the corresponding configuration objects and, in the configuration, I´ve used the menu "Tools/Define Web Service..." to generate a wsdl(I´ve used this option only to check the parameters that will be exposed, and check the endpoint that XI is suggering to be used, I didn´t use the WSDL to call the webservice)- here is a trip: to me, the option mentioned above generate the following address as endpoint: http://:1080/sap/xi/engine/?type=entry,
and the port listed above(1080) is incorrect, the correct value is found at SMICM transaction, looking on Active Services, this is a http port available on this screen(in my case, the correct value is 8030).
The ultimate task is configure the SOAP Adapter to listen the SOAP requests to this interface.
I think that the problem is to find correct documentation, I have experienced many situations where I have a problem to solve and, its very difficult to get a document, help, etc.. that explain how to solve the problem.
