Trouble with 2nd SOA tutorial

Hey gang,
Been grasping with the basics of this massive SOA suite that Oracle has put together. Everything is running fine. I just did the obligatory Hello World tutorial and it went smoothly. On the second tutorial that involves invoking a credit rating web service however I am having a bit of an issue.
See, I deployed that web service into the AS that has the SOA running on it. And then when I am mapping the input and output values from the invoke activity in the BPEL designer, it reverts to the wsdl found on the hard drive instead of finding one on the server. Another problem is the crOutput variable...the xpath is not able to find the part for it. It does find it for the crInput variable though.
Hope I am making sense. Any thoughts?

The question is little bit confusing for me..
As far my knowledge concern...whenever you deploy a webservice a wsdl file is been generated and that wsdl file I copy to my bpel workspace and invoke the wsdl file by creating partner link and selecting the wsdl from the "Project WSDL files".....it gives a message that no partner link is available for the current wsdl and it will make a reference.
When I click OK it creates a wsdl and rest of the copy operation you do runs fine.

  • Trouble with Ruby-Cocoa Tutorial (IKImageBrowserView)

    Hello, I'm trying to learn some Mac programming using Ruby so I tried making the project in the Apple tutorial ( http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/RubyPythonCocoa/Articl es/BuildingRubyCocoaAppl.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005425 )
    Unfortunately it won't run. Every time the console shows this error:
    "Unknown class IKImageBrowserView in Interface Builder file."
    (it defaults to NSView and then more errors result when it gets to the app's code.)
    The tutorial there says that even though IKImageBrowserView isn't in the Library, IB "knows about it" but I feel like something's missing. Although I had no problems changing the Custom Object's Class, and connecting it up. It's only once it tries to run that it fails.

    RubyCocoa is neither sanctioned nor supported by Apple
    Au contraire: the primary maintainer for RubyCocoa is Laurent Sansonetti, the Apple engineer responsible for Ruby in OS X and also the author of MacRuby, and RubyCocoa is bundled in OS X 10.5 and later along with the Python-Cocoa bridge, PyObjC.
    so any sub-contracted documentation they might supply is probably not going to be kept up to date. That particular tutorial is from last year and things have almost certainly changed since then; you should look for something more recent from the project's maintainers
    Quite possibly; I believe that some of the PyObjC documentation on Apple's site also dates back to Tiger. File a bug on it; IIRC, there's a link at the bottom of each page for doing so.

  • HT201343 Airplay troubles with 2nd Gen. appleTV

    I just bought a new macbook pro with mountain lion and I am having trouble using airplay with my apple tv.  The airplay icon shows up on my computer screen, and I can play music and videos from itunes, but the apple tv will not display what is on my desktop when i am browsing the web etc. whats going on?

    My id/password combo is ok - 100% sure.
    Took the bold step of resetting to factory defaults. Now it doesn't even sign in to itunes sharing from the AppleTV anymore: says id/password wrong. It was only iTunes saying this before. So now I can't even access stuff on my PC anymore. Yet at this very moment I'm downloading a movie on iTunes on the computer meaning I will only be able to see it on the computer.
    Quite disappointed in Apple!

  • Trouble With Web Services Tutorial Examples

    I am having trouble getting the Web Services Tutorial examples to run.
    For example, when I compiled the hello1 example, and tried to run it, I got a directory listing. All the directory listing contained was the dukewaving.gif file.
    When I tried to run hello2, I got something similar. This time though, there were two jsp files in the listing. By clicking on the first one, I was able to run the application.
    Now I can't run the bookstore1 example. I went back a second time, to be sure that I was following the instructions exactly as written. I am gettng an HTTP Status 404 - Servlet BookStoreServlet is not available.
    I don't know why this is happening. There were no errors when I ran the Ant targets, and the WAR file did get copied to the webapps directory.
    I would be very grateful for any help. I am very new to Java and am finding this very frustrating.
    Thank You,
    Chrissy

    This is what's in my log file. Why is the servlet being marked as unavailable?

    1. At what step in the tutorial did you see this error?the link to the web page would be http://otn.oracle.com/jdeveloper/help/topic?inOHW=true&file=jar%3Afile% (basically, at the end of autocreating the page and running oc4j (embedded) to see the JSP
    2. Are you running on a deployed environment?No. This was as the tutorial, in the embedded oc4j
    3. What version of JDev/ OC4J are you using?oracle IDE version is 9.0.2.829
    4. Did your BC4J project compile cleanly?yes (or at least it appeared to do!)

  • Trouble with 2nd audio track when exporting to Quicktime - please help!

    Ok - I've made my DV movie in IMovie - all ok. When I export to Quicktime the second audio track (an mp3 imported from iTune) jumps up in volume unexpectedly but always in the same place. There is no such jump in the original and I haven't put in any nodes to boost the volume etc.
    Any ideas guys??
    Thanks

  • I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made & opening as read only for the 2nd person - but allowing them to save the file.

    1) I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made.  As soon as you open the file and exit.  It prompts for a save.
    All excel versions are 15.0.4701.1002.
    Using a table.
    the functions CELL, OFFSET, TODAY, INDIRECT, NOW, INFO and RAND are not being used.
    2) Same file.   2nd person is being told they are opening the file as read only - but when they are quitting excel prompts them to save the file. 
    Everything was working fine.  I started having problems with Excel, IT wiped my version out and re-installed office. 
    File is on networked server HP - Windows Server 2012 Essentials.  
    We are all on Windows 8.1 Pro.
    I really hope someone can help - the excel expert had no answer - and passed me along to here.

    I copied the whole file and started deleting worksheets one at a time and testing it by closing it and re-opening it then closing it again – to see if it wanted to save. 
    Once all the pivot tables were deleted – the problem went away. 
    I found that some of the pivot tables had automatic refresh upon open, so this caused the excel to think data had changed. 
    It is fixed now.  By clicking on one cell of the pivot table, analyze, options, data and uncheck the 3<sup>rd</sup> square down to not automatically refresh.  NOT A NETWORK ISSUE.

  • Trouble with applet tutorial about servers

    I downloaded the sources of this (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/applet/clientExample.html) example and am trying to make them work. However I'm having trouble with the server program.It compiles fine but when I run it I get NullPointerException in QuoteServerThread class on this line:
    packet = new DatagramPacket(buf, 256);buf is a byte array and it's set to null.
    I don't have any experience with networking in java so if the problem is something really simple you'll know why I didn't find it.
    Oh, and the code of the thread is here http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/applet/examples/QuoteServerThread.java

    Replace
    byte[] buf = null;with
    byte[] buf = new byte[ 256 ];Other problems may happen if this sample was not tested properly.
    The problem is that the DatagramPacket requires you to supply a non-null buffer, as per:
    DatagramPacket
    public DatagramPacket(byte[] buf, int length)
    Constructs a DatagramPacket for receiving packets of length length.
    The length argument must be less than or equal to buf.length.
    Parameters:
    buf - buffer for holding the incoming datagram.
    length - the number of bytes to read.

  • I am having trouble with a form, won't tab to 2nd page...

    I am having trouble with a form I created in Acrobat Pro 10. I created tabs etc, they all work wonderfully in Adobe, but once I uploaded it onto the web-based program for other users, the tabs only work  on page 1, I have to click on page 2 to keep tabbing through.  It won't tab into it.  Any advise?  Also, when the users open it it opens in the web.

    1. The library is separate from the application, so re-installing shouldn't cause an issue with the actual photos. But it would be foolhardy in the extreme to do anything without first backing up.
    2. Often these issues are caused by a damaged Library, so reinstalling doesn't change much.
    FWIW
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.
    Alternative approach:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards
    TD

  • Facing Issue With Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.3.0

    Hi All,
    I am facing some issues with ORACLE SOA SUITE 11.1.1.3.0.
    Hope you people can help us out.
    Please find the issue details below along with all the relevant information’s
    I have following SOA suite installation at my server:
    Oracle 10g Express Edition Universal 10.2.0.1
    RCU 11.1.1.3.3
    Web Logic Server 10.3.3.0
    SOA suite 11.1.1.3.0
    JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.0
    The first thing what I have done is created a web service and deployed it to server without any issue.
    After that I created proxy client for that service and accessed it successfully from the client end.
    Till here no issue occurs.
    After that I applied few policies on top of web service and deployed it to server.
    The policy I had chosen was “oracle/wss_username_token_service_policy” [coming under OWSM policies list]
    While deploying there was no issue, all went well.
    2nd step I had created client using “oracle/wss_username_token_client_policy” policy which is counter part of above policy and tried to access the web service but failed.
    I have followed this blog:
    [http://biemond.blogspot.com/2010/08/things-you-need-to-do-for-owsm-11g.html ]
    Please have a look on service and client code:

    Not getting any help from any blog. Just wondering why this error is coming. I would be glad if you can help us in this regard.
    Apart from above issue I have few queries like:
    1.What is difference between OWSM policies and WLS policies?
    2.Are these the only policies we can apply on top of services?
    3.If some one wants to configure his own custom policies than what need to be done
    4.Could anyone please provide some useful links to implement ENCYPTION and SIGNATURE on top of web services?
    5.And If I am not wrong, I guess Oracle Service BUS OSB 11.1.1.3 has been removed from the main download link and version 11.1.1.4 has been provided. Is it
    compatible with SOA suite 11.1.1.3.0? If not where can I get OSB 11.1.1.3?
    Looking forward to hear from you people.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I don't know why u get an error. Here are answers for additional questions:
    1. OWSM policies are for web services. WLS policies are based on Java EE security. They are used to protect resources e.g. URL, EJB
    2. I don't know about other policies
    3. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/e13713/owsm_appendix.htm#CHDCHFBH
    4. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/security.1111/e10037/toc.htm
    5. I can see OSB 11.1.1.3 download link here

    Hi TAB--
    When you installed the platform, did you install the whole thing, or just part
    of it? If you chose not to install the examples, or if you chose not to install
    Integration, that would explain this behavior. If not, we'll try to go from there...
    Thanks,

Unless the headphones are plugged in a specific way, either one bud goes out, or the sound quality goes down, as there is a lot of static and crackling, and I've had experiences with it actually shocking my ears while I'm listening.
    I have tried a new pair of headphones, and this does nothing.
    My iPod is obviously beyond the manufacturer's warranty, and it's up-to-date with the latest update. Is there anything I can do?

    Sounds like your headphone jack may need replacing.

  • Trouble with Extreme N base station and Express station wireless

    Upgraded extreme base station with new extreme "N" base station. Currently have the extreme "N" base station connected to cable modem on 2nd floor. I have wired the house to have the demarc on the 2nd floor. I purchased the express base station to be placed on 1st floor to extend the wireless range from the extreme "N" base station.
    Prior to this setup, I had a wired bridge on the 1st floor to the main router on the 2nd floor. I was able to connect all wireless connections to the bridge where there was weak signal to the main router on 2nd floor.
    The trouble I am having is that whether I have the express base connected or not. My signal is near the same as having only the main base station on 2nd floor. I can be seated right next to the express on the 1st floor and have only 1-2 bars on the signal.
    I have updated and running the latest utilities for the airports. I have also been seeing the same trouble with other Mac's and PC's.
    Also, I have been noticing the extreme "N" base station blinking amber when no Mac's or PC's are accessing the network or even when they are.
    So, even when both the extreme and express have solid green LED, I still have the problem.
    I am not sure if I am setting up this incorrectly or if I have hit a brickwall with this setup in my house.
    Could I hard wire the express from the extreme from the second floor as I did with the bridge I use to have? I am not sure if the express would work as a wired bridge.
    Just appears to be performing less then my prior PC networking products.
    Thanks everyone...hope to get some insight. I have read all the prior discussions and still not getting good results.

    Tesserax....Thanks for the quick clarification on using the expresss as a wired bridge. I did avert back to a wired bridge now using all apple products. I was trying to get away with reusing the hard wire from the base station since I was running out of ports on the base station. {Apple has to be difficult with only having 3 ethernet ports.}
    So I had to run a linksys switch off the extreme "N" base station.
    Thanks again..
    Guess I have to live with the quirks...

  • Trouble with connection to Airpot Express on new Macbook

    Hello my fellow Apple users! I hope one of you can help me. I purchased a new Macbook last week and I love it except I'm having trouble with the connection to my Airport Express. I originally set up the Airport on my old iMac, which is located on the 2nd floor of my house. The Airport is plugged in to the modem on the 1st floor. Since I have a new Macbook, I boxed up the old iMac and put it in a closet on the 2nd floor because I'm not using it anymore.
    The weird thing is that my wifi connection works just fine on the 2nd floor but can't find a connection on the 1st floor; where the Airport is plugged in.
    So I'm thinking I need to uninstall the Airport on my iMac but I don't know how to do that. Any tips?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Once an Apple AirPort base station is configured it retains no history of the computer that originally configured it. So "uninstalling the AirPort on your iMac" would not accomplish anything useful, even if you could do something that could be described that way.
    How is your AirPort Express connected? Is its Ethernet port connected to a broadband modem?
