Tuxedo vs Web Services

Hello,
Does Tuxedo support SOAP? or any capabilities to service a Web Services
client? How does it works and which version of Tuxedo can do that???
Thank you,

Neo,
As far as I know Tuxedo by itself does not support
web services.
But it is possible to call Tuxedo services from
within WebLogic app server. WebLogic has built-in
support for webservices.
On the other hand it is possible to use either
Java API or Jolt in order to call Tuxedo services.
By merging these APIs with tools like Apache Axis
it is possible to setup Tuxedo service as a web
service.
Of course you will have to transale/interpret
content of your SOAP call by yourself and call
appropriate Tuxedo service with its native
structures as parameters (for example STRING).
So there is some work to do.

Thank you very much Robertz and Shailesh:
I personally found out that the Tuxedo system we had was embedded with a
layer on top to make certain system call's to Tuxedo bulletin board, as
far as that we do not have the complete source code of the layer of
program called "UCT", although it is written in C code. All our major
system talks to UCT directly instead talking to Tuxedo bulletin board for
some proprietry vendor codes, which blocked us from developing ahead, as I
know that building a Web Services on top of Tuxedo is OK but hard for us
to build on top of UCT. Anyway thanks for the valuable information.
Appreciated it!
Thank you,

Calling Web Service from Tuxedo

We have a need to invoke a web service from our Tuxedo Server code (all in C++). Would SALT help us in this? Or is there another tool that we could use to act as a web service client?
Thanks,
-gc

Hello Guru Chandar,
SALT 1.1 does not support invoking an external Web Service from Tuxedo side.
This outbound requirement is being considered, which allows Tuxedo customers
invoking a Web service in a Tuxedo manner. This will probably be supported
in the next SALT release.
At the moment, I think gSOAP is an alternative that can be used in Tuxedo
server code to help invoking external Web Services. gSOAP is an open source
project that provides a Web Service development toolkit to ease Web Service
client and server program in C/C++.
You can refer to the following web page to get more information about gSOAP:

if any one have any related information please share with me.its urgent.
Thanking You

Hi,
Thanks for valuable information and quick response.
I need more information on the same line. As all suggestion given by you required license assuming our component running in another JEE environment. Is there any option available which doesn't required any additional cost?
If not can you provide estimate cost of license for below option.
1. Jolt
2. Salt
3. JCA adapter of Tuxedo
Awaiting for your reply. Thanks in advance.

[Tuxedo 9.1 - SALT 2.0] Web service Endpoint address

I'm working on SALT 2.0 feature with Tuxedo 9.1.
I have to expose one Tuxedo service as a web service.
I followed the online documentation and this works fine.
I just have one problem concerning the Web service exposition address (Endpoint). In my wsdf config file, I have the following AccessingPoints node :
<AccessingPoints>
<Endpoint id="GWWS_STAR_HTTP" address="http://servername:65002/STAR" />
</AccessingPoints>
Once the TMMETADA and GWWS configured, I started Tuxedo with the tmboot command and I made a test with a classical web browser thanks to get the wsdl.
I first tried with http://servername:65002/STAR/wsdl? but I got an error.
I made a test with http://servername:65002/wsdl? and I got a successful answer.
Is anyone can explain to me how to expose the service with the following URL : http://servername:65002/STAR (as defined in the wsdf file) ?
Is there another configuration to place in the SALTDEPLOY file ?
Thanks in advance.
With my best regards,
Edited by: [email protected] on 5 mars 2009 07:20

Hi Sebastien,
The config of "<Endpoint id="GWWS_STAR_HTTP" address="http://servername:65002/STAR" />" specifies the SOAP address in WSDL, for example ,
<wsdl:port binding="tns:simpapp_Binding" name="simpapp_GWWS1_HTTPPort">
<soap11:address location=""http://servername:65002/STAR"/>
</wsdl:port>
You can not use web browser to access this address because it requires SOAP request message. The address http://servername:65002/wsdl is to retrieve the WSDL of your web service. The WSDL can be used to program or test for your exposed web services.
If you want to test the web services directly, I would suggest you trying soapUI (http://www.soapui.org/) which is a very useful SOAP test utility. The most important is it is free:-). The steps sounds like,
1. New a project
Supply your WSDL address, such as http://servername:65002/wsdl to the "Initial WSDL..." box.
2. Following the wizard steps you can create testsuite
3. In the TestSuite, you can edit the SOAP request body directly and get the reply from GWWS.
Hope some help.

Web service(developed in jdeveloper) deployedin Oracle is not detecting

I have developed a webservice using jdeveloper following the document (http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/jdev/obe1013jdev/10131/devdepandmanagingws/devdepandmanagingws.htm) deployed and ran in OC4J. But when I am trying to deploy it in oracle10g(10.1.3) its showing the error in browser
*/WebServices/HelloJavaWSSoapHttpPort not found on this server*
But the port name HelloJavaWSSoapHttpPort is found in the WebServices page

Hello,
I would like to understand better your use case...
So you have some Tuxedo services, and (a) these services are exposed as Web Services ?
Or (b) you want to take tuxedo and expose them as WS from JDeveloper/OracleAS?
If Tuxedo can be exposed as WS (a) you can consume them directly as it is from Java using a WS client.
If you need to expose Tuxedo as WS (b), -if not possible our of the box- you should be able to use the Java API of Tuxedo (was called JOLT) and program you service from these class like any WS written in Java.

EP6 and Web Services

I'm currently working with a client to implement a customer-facing instance of EP6 (as well as ERP, EM, and CRM) for an online shipping system. I've been investigating ESA as viable landscape and have been trying to analyze the risks and validate the amount of work involved before proceeding. The client also has a legacy system in place (Tuxedo) that will need to integrate with the overall solution.
I had read that all of SAP's BAPIs and RFCs have been ported as available Web Services as of Web AS 6.20. This translates the idea that all previous capabilities post-ESA are available now as Web Services and I should not have to worry about restricted access to backend systems if using Web Services. Is this correct? Where can I find a description of all the web services currently available within Netweaver?
Also, after analyzing business processes and functional requirements, I need to know how much work will be involved in implementation. How much of the work will involve custom development and how much of the work has already been done as a prepackaged application/integration? Are there currently any prepackaged Enterprise Services that come with Netweaver? Is there a respository? I read in another post that one is on the way and slated for this year. Any indication as to when?
Development: I recently caught Shai Agassi's presentation and saw the development through modelling of the processes in the Mendisino (sp) project. It looks to be an exciting technology and something that can cut custom development time. Is this currently available? What are your thoughts on it's maturity aspect?
If you can provide more insight, expand, or answer some of my questions...
Thanks!
Herb

There is an option of looking at what are the Enterprise Services that are being released my SAP.
Look at the following URL's.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/esapreview.sdn?node=linkDnode12-2
If you want to list directly, take a look at this URL :

Although if i switch off proxy server everything works perfect (both HTTP and HTTPS web-services).
What could be the problem with?

Hi Kenneth,
At the moment, SALT does not support the configuring of an outbound proxy server. I suspect you could use a transparent proxy server, i.e., a proxy server/router combination that proxies outgoing requests, although this isn't something we have tested. My suggestion would be to open a support case and ask for this enhancement. I think it is a reasonable thing for SALT to support.

Error while invoking a WS-Security secured web service from Oracle BPEL..

Hi ,
We are facing some error while invoking a WS-Security secured web service from our BPEL Process on the windows platform(SOA 10.1.3.3.0).
For the BPEL process we are following the same steps as given in an AMIS blog : - [http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1607/how-to-call-a-ws-security-secured-web-service-from-oracle-bpel]
but sttill,after deploying it and passing values in it,we are getting the following error on the console :-
“Header [http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/08/addressing:Action] for ultimate recipient is required but not present in the message”
Any pointers in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi James,
Thanks for the quick reply.
We've tried to call that web service from an HTML designed in Visual Studios with the same username and password and its working fine.
But on the BPEL console, we are getting the error as mentioned.
Also if you can tell me how to set the user name and password in the header of the parter link.I could not find how to do it.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Unable to capture return values in web services api

At the time of login to web services if my server is down ,
it returns following error :
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
        at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1438)
        at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1411)
I want to capture this error so that i can try another server to login. how do i capture this error
Another place where i want to capture the return Value is when i look for a report on the server
rh = boBIPlatform.get("path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/"src_folder"/" + reportName +
                           "@SI_SCHEDULEINFO,SI_PROCESSINFO" ,oGetOptions);
oInfoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
Here if the report is not there on the server , it returns a null handler exception.
but if i try catching it by checking my responsehandler is null like rh == null it does not catch it.
Any help will be appreciated
thanks
Rakesh Gupta

Ted : i have two cases
1)   server = server_st.nextToken();
    providerURL = "http://"server"/dswsbobje/services";
    sessConnURL = new URL(providerURL + "/session");
   Connection boConnection = new Connection(sessConnURL);
   Session boSession = new Session(boConnection);
EnterpriseCredential boEnterpriseCredential = new    EnterpriseCredential();
              boEnterpriseCredential.setLogin(userid);
boEnterpriseCredential.setPassword(pwd);
boEnterpriseCredential.setAuthType(auth);
SessionInfo boSI = boSession.login(boEnterpriseCredential);
I have got a list of servers running web servcies stored in my tokens. when i pass the first server name say " test:8080" and that server is down , i want to catch somewhere in the code above that it did not get the connection so that i can loop back and try with the second server say test1:8080
This is for failover purposes.
at present when i was trying to capture return value of boSI it breaks giving the error
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1438)
at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1411)
2nd case :
I am geeting reports from the server and scheduling them:
i run the following code which works fine if reports is there
rh = boBIPlatform.get("path://InfoObjects/Root Folder/"src_folder"/" + reportName +
"@SI_SCHEDULEINFO,SI_PROCESSINFO" ,oGetOptions);
oInfoObjects = rh.getInfoObjects();
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
Here if the report is not there on the server then i should be able to catch from the response handle rh that it has got a null value.
but rh does not return a null value
the code ultimately throws a null handle at the following line
CrystalReport = (CrystalReport)oInfoObjects.getInfoObject(0);
i am not able to catch the null value there also.
hope you got my issue.

How to allow access to web service running under ApplicationPoolIdentity

Hi All,
I have a WCF web service hosted in IIS 7 (or maybe 7.5, whichever comes with Windows server 2008 R2) using DefaultAppPool running under ApplicationPoolIdentity per Microsoft's recommendation. The web service needs to call a stored procedure to insert data
to a db. The web server is on a different VM than the database server. The db server is running SQL 2008 R2. Both VMs run Windows server 2008 R2.
When the web service tries to connect to db, it encounters this exception:
Exception in InsertToDb()System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)
Here's the connection string in web.config:
Application Name=somewebservice;Server=somewebserver;Integrated Security=SSPI;Database=somedatabase;Connection Timeout=60"
How should I configure SQL security to make this work?
Thanks in advanced.

Thanks for the link Dan. Maybe I'm the one who cause the confusion :)
If I understand you(and Erland) correctly, you suggest using a custom, domain account for application pool identity. However, if we do that, our IT will need to maintain those accounts, and they don't want that. So I'm choosing a built-in account called
ApplicationPoolIdentity as the application pool identity, but it's not working. Network Service, on the other hand, works, but my boss wants us to follow MS's best practice.
What's puzzling is that according to this: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/624/application-pool-identities/, both Network Service and ApplicationPoolIdentity uses machine account to access network resource (like db in this case), but in my case, Network Service
works, but not ApplicationPoolIdentity.
Hallo Stephen,
with respect - it seems to me that only idiots are working at your IT ;)... It is absolutely useful to work with "service accounts" created within the domain. That's the only way to manage and control accounts!
If you want to "pass through" the identity of the web user (SSO) you have to check whether the app pool is set to "allow impersonate". As far as I understand the ApplicationPoolIdentity-function the app pool will create a unique user named as the service.
I assume that will not work with the connection to the sql server because this user is unknown.
Local Service will not work because it's restriction is located to the local machine.
Network Service will work because access to network resources will be available.
So my recommendation is to use a dedicated service account or impersonation:

Web Service deployed with admin_client is not working

Hi,
I'm usung SOA Suite 10.1.3.1 and Eclipse WTP 3.2.2.
The thing is that I developed a Web Service with Eclipse using the plugin for generating web services. Then I exported my project to a .war file from eclipse as well.
For deploy my web service in oc4j, I tried from the oc4j console in Applications --> Deploy and Next-Next wizard and using the .war file generated by Eclipse. I got the application deployed and I can check that the wsdl is working in http://localhost:8888/Hello_Web2/services/Hello?wsdl
But the main problem is when I try to deploy using the admin_client command tool running the command: java -jar admin_client.jar deployer:oc4j:opmn://localhost/home oc4jadmin welcome1 -deploy -file d:\TEMP\Hello_Web.war -deploymentName Web5 -contextRoot "/". Everything seems right, I can see the application created in the console, but when I try to access to the web service using "http://localhost:8888/Hello_Web2/services/Hello?wsdl" I get and Http 404.
What is wrong with the command method?
Many thanks in Advance,
Alberto

Hi,
As the custom web part works well in other browsers, the issue may be related to the IE itself.
Have you tried the methods below?
Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works.
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Trusted Sites->add the site into the zone
What’s more, you can also switch the Document mode to IE 10 or lower to check whether it works.
Thanks & Regards,

Questions on using a SOAP web service's data in a Crystal Reports report

I'm attempting to create a report using CR 2008, accessing data from a SOAP web service. I've run into a few problems, and need some advice.
1) CR doesn't seem to support WSDL files that use relative URI imports (for example, I have a relatively complicated WSDL file that imports other WSDL files and schemas using relative URI locations). To solve this problem, I have downloaded all of the files to my local hard drive, and changed the "location" attributes to point to local files. Is there any other solution to this problem?
2) CR doesn't seem to support circular references within schema files. To solve this problem, I have removed circular references from my local schema files. Of course, my actual web service will still potentially return data structures with these circular dependencies. Is there any other solution to this problem?
3) CR doesn't seem to support request documents that allow for arrays of elements. For example, my schema allows the user to specify an array of Instruments that should be returned by the web service. In the meantime, I have changed the schema to only specify single instances of the Instrument element in the request. Is there any other solution to this problem?
4) CR doesn't seem to support empty values for optional attributes that are specified in the schema. So, when the "Enter Values" parameter form appears, I am required to enter values for these attributes, even though they are listed as optional in the schema. To avoid this problem, I have commented out the optional attribute values in the schema. Is there any other solution to this problem?
5) When the schema specifies that a value is based on a restricted simple (string) type, the CR parameter form shows a drop list with ellipses (...), but the drop list does not contain the enumerated types specified in my schema. Instead, I must manually enter a value. Do you know of any reason why the drop list is not populated?
6) The SOAP response document from my web service is relatively complicated. So, in the "Data" page of the Standard Report Creation Wizard, each and every XML element level of the response document listed in the schema is shown as a separate entry. If I choose just the top level element ("fetchInstrumentSetResponse"), then very little data is shown on the next page of the wizard (only the ID attribute). But, if I select each and every element type from the response document, CR prompts me for the request document parameters for each row I have selected (I see the same form 30+ times), even though there really should only be a single SOAP request to the web service to return this response document. It seems to be treating each of these elements as a separate "database table", with a different query string for each. Am I using this feature incorrectly?
If you can point me to somewhere in the documentation that handles this in more detail, that would be great (all I could find were the step-by-step instructions on how to connect to a web service as a data source).
Thanks!
