Unauthenticated user when using web service

Hi,
I have built a session bean accessing some KM functionality. This sessionbean has a couple of business methods exposed as web services.
The business methods are called fine, but when I try to access the KM Resource Context I get the following exception
ResourceContext.setUser called with unauthenticated user MJOH
In the web service I have turned on basic authentication, and it's obviously trying to use my user MJOH. I have logged on to the portal containing KM to verify that my user indeed works.
Both the web service and KM are running on the same J2EE-server.
In the web service descriptor I have the following settings
 <global-features>
 <feature name="http://www.sap.com/webas/630/soap/features/authentication" protocol="SecurityProtocol">
 <property name="AuthenticationMethod" value="BasicAuth"/>
 <property name="AuthenticationMechanism" value="HTTP"/>
 <property name="SupportsSSO2Authentication" value="false"/>
 </feature>
 </global-features>
Does anyone know if there are more settings that need to be done?

Mattias

There are intermittent problems with JSF pages and WS DataControl in the preview. This is logged as a bug.

Exception in transaction commit when using Web Service Atomic Transaction

Hi all,
I am following this tutorial from Oracle on how to use WS-AT
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/e13734/transaction.htm
A brief description about my application, which is wrote in JDeveloper:
Two applications, one for web service and one for client.
The WS is backed by an stateless EJB, which use JPA entity to do operations on the Oracle XE DB. The EJB transaction is container-managed, and the Entity Manager is retrieved from the JTA Datasource by using @PersistenceContext
I put this on the EJB implementation class:
@WebService(...)
@TransactionAttribute(value = TransactionAttributeType.MANDATORY)
@Transactional(version = Transactional.Version.WSAT10,
value = Transactional.TransactionFlowType.MANDATORY)
On the client application, I use another EJB to call the WS. The proxy and all generated types are created properly by JDev. I put this on the @WebServiceReference point in the client EJB:
@Transactional(version = Transactional.Version.WSAT10,
value = Transactional.TransactionFlowType.MANDATORY)
The client EJB is also annotated with:
@TransactionAttribute(value = TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)
Both applications are deployed successfully in the integrated weblogic server. But when I run the method in the client EJB that call the WS to do a persisting operation on the DB, the following exception is thrown:
javax.ejb.EJBException: BEA1-00227DF3AF249E472B1E: javax.transaction.xa.XAException: Failed state during prepare of WS-AT XAResource ...
which causes:
Exception occurred during commit of transaction Name=[EJB +_the client EJB's calling method_+
The weird thing is, if I call a method which does a simple System.out.println (no DB related operation) then no exception is thrown.
Furthermore, if I switch both WS EJB and client EJB to use bean managed transaction, the transaction is not propagated properly, as I see that UserTransaction in the WS EJB does not have the same status as UserTransaction in the Client EJB.
Hence I'm suspecting that there is some issue during step 4 described in the Oracle documentation:
"Server B receives the request for Application B, detects that the header contains a transaction coordination context and determines whether it has already registered as a participant in this transaction. If it has, that transaction is resumed and if not, a new transaction is started.
*Application B executes within the context of the imported transaction. All transactional resources with which the application interacts are enlisted with this imported transaction*."
This is all I can find. Please help me on how to resolve the exception.
Thanks.

Hi r035198x,
Thanks for your help. The problem indeed is in the non-XA datasource I used for the EntityManager. I created datasource what uses XA Thin Oracle driver and everything works fine now, commit and rollback both work nicely.
Again thanks a lot.

Error when using Web service Action Block.

Hi All
I am calling recursive function in my transaction.Means same transaction i am calling inside a transaction.I have used the Webservice Action block to call the transaction.

Please suggest me on this.
Thanks in advance.

I want to call the same transaction within a transaction.So i have used WebService action block to call the transaction.
I have passed the input parameters whatever required.I have given loginName and password as my server login name and password.But when i am executing the transaction, I am getting the following error:
"Internal Server Error"
If any idea please suugest me.

Compile error when using Web Services Proxy

I used the wizard and kept all default settings then I edited the <Port>.java class to make the actual invocation.
When I tried to compile the generated code I got 2 errors in the FaultMessage class about 2 missing Constructors:
Error(17,5): cannot find constructor Exception(java.lang.String)
Error(25,5): cannot find constructor Exception(java.lang.String,java.lang.Throwable)
Looking at the class hierarchy I noticed that FaultMessage extends from a Exception class which was generated by the Wizard so I decided to add the constructors there.
Once the .ctors are created it works as expected.
I'm posting this message anyway so it helps others if facing the same issue and to raise the question about why is this happening? Perhaps some wrong jars in my system? Aren't Jdeveloper generated classes supposed to work 'out of the box'?
Thanks,
MV

Workflow : User Decision on Email using Web Services

Hi,
I have the requirement of sending User Decision on Email Using Web Services.
Eg : I have created one ECR Using T-Code "CC31" and on status change "CC32" of this ECR, My workflow triggers. Now what i want is to send the User Decision on maintain User Email ID as URL link. This link will contain the ECR Nos. There will be "N" nos of Links send on email depending on Requirement. By clicking on that Particular Link , Action taken should be updated in sap.
URL Link is just like confirmation link send on our email id during user Registration on some Website or when we create our Gmail / Yahoo Account.

Why not use the extended notifications? - it has an option to send links to approve/reject or any other option in the decision task and use a standard web service. See the document attached to note 1646056 - Workflow Quick Start Guide to Extended Notifications.

Q: General : When will you use Web Service as opposed to just Servlet and/or EJB?

Hi,
I don't know if this is an appropriate question to ask for this class as it's not
workshop
specific. I was wondering how will I decide when it is appropriate to use a web
service as opposed to say servlet or an EJB for my application? What is a good
rationale to use?
Thanks,
Sadhana

Hi Adam,
Thanks a lot for giving such a lucid explanation of my vague question!
I understand now the difference between when to use EJBs/Servlets/Web Services.
Thanks again!

Hi Sadhana,
Web service versus Servlet versus EJB. Which one to use? That is a very
good question.
EJBs should be the core desription and processing of your business rules.
They generally
have good performance, are easy to integrate into your security set up but
they require
access using the RMI-IIOP protocol. This means that generally EJBs are not
accessible
outside of your firewall and their clients have to be written in Java (other
enterprise
objects or applets or GUI applications).
Servlets often form a web-based front end to EJBs. They also have good performance,
integrate into security and only require HTTP access. This means they are
accessible
outside your firewall and any client with a HTTP or web API can call on
them, however,
there is no standard contract or rules for this type of interaction so you
will need
provide direct input into development of the client.
Web services are also accessible via HTTP and so can be accessed from outside
your
firewall. In fact, Web services internally within Workshop and WebLogic
actually
operate by using servlets and EJBs but the main advantage is that the mechanism/contract
for interacting with the web service is a well defined standard (WSDL) and
can actually
be registered or retreived dynamically (UDDI). Since web service standards
are open,
most popular programming languages already provide client APIs to interact
with them
thus freeing the web service developer from direct interaction with the
client developer
and letting the client be developed on any platform. The penalty for this
openness
is a small performance hit (XML translation) and a slowly maturing security
model.
So in summary, use EJBs for business operations that have Java clients within
your
enterprise, use servlets to provide web style access to your business operations
(like web pages) and use web services to enable automated clients that can
be written
on any platform either inside or outside your enterprise (firewall). In
fact, it
is common to write the EJB first and then to expose some parts of it outside
of your
enterprise by writing a web service wrapper (maybe using the EJB controls
that we
saw in class).
I hope this helps.

How to retrieve the username/password of logged user so to use web services

Hi Experts,
we are using web services from a web dynpro application, the web services we use are CAF web services; actually we are "hardcoding" username and password so to be able to execute these web services, using this code before calling the web service:
wdContext.currentRequest_ReporteDeRendicionDetallada_RElement().modelObject().setInvokerProperty(javax.xml.rpc.Stub.USERNAME_PROPERTY,"testuser");
wdContext.currentRequest_ReporteDeRendicionDetallada_RElement().modelObject().setInvokerProperty(javax.xml.rpc.Stub.PASSWORD_PROPERTY,"testpassword");
but as this is not a very good practice, we want to replace the "testuser" with the logged user and, of course, retrieve the password and use it instead of "testpassword".
How can we achieve this? I couldn´t find any tips on this.
Best regards,
Marco.

Hello,
thanks for your anwsers, although I´ve followed both links I couldn´t find the answer to my problem.
I need to know how to retreive user and password from the UME of the portal so to be able to execute web services in the java stack, the UME is connected to a LDAP in our corporation.. so may be the passwords are not stored in the UME?
If it is not possible to retrieve the passwords of the users , which is the best practice to deal with username/passwords to execute CAF webservices from web dynpro java? Hardcoding is not a very good practice..
Best regards,
Marco.

Adding a user using web services

Is it possible to add a user using web services? I am trying to do this using .net but I am getting errors. I was able to search and delete users!

I will look into this. The only thing is, I was able to update, remove and search users using web services in .net, but I don't understand why can't I add a user using the same web service? The method of creating a local user is available in the web service! I even tried adding a user and I get the following error:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Unable to create JavaBean of type com.adobe.idp.um.api.infomodel.User. Missing default constructor? Error was: java.lang.InstantiationException: com.adobe.idp.um.api.infomodel.User.
doesn't this mean it is trying to create a user?
web service:
https://DomainName/soap/services/DirectoryManagerService?wsdl
Web service function:
public stringcreateLocalUser(UserlocalUser, string password);
<xsd:element name="createLocalUser">

What is the best way to deploy application that uses web services?

Hi all,
I'm having some problems figuring out the best way to deploy our app now that we've switched over to using web services.
I'm fairly new to Java and web services. From what I understand, JNLP and WebStart are methods to deploy Java clients to users and not for creating war files and the like.
Here's a little background:
We have a large PowerBuilder/Oracle application. The db consists of over 500 tables and the client consists of several thousand PB components. A user creates "transactions" which contain a series of "sub-transactions" within. Most of the data is collected and stored locally in the client in a series of datastores. When the "finalize" happens, the records are validated and sent to the database.
We are in the process of moving each of the subtransactions (currently in the PB client) into subPROCESSES on a java project. We are using the JAX-WS framework to develop the web services in Netbeans. These web services aren't much more than remote xml as the messaging technology. For writing data back to the database, we are using the Java Persistence API to function outside of an EJB container but will shortly be migrating to the Glassfish application server to use several of the EJB container frameworks including the EntityManager.
We haven't attempted any type of deployment and are unsure of where to start. Any suggestions would be so helpful and appreciated!
Thanks!

It is for launching rich client GUI based (AWT, Swing, SWT..) applications onto the end-user's desktop.
There are some parts of JWS that might seem peripherally useful to the installation of a web-app., but it is really not a 'good fit'.

Using Web Service from LiveCycle PDF Dynamic Form.

I have developed Staff Attendance Sheet about 7 years ago using Microsoft Office Web Componenets Data Access Pages (OWC DAP).
See image below of the current report using OWC DAP:
http://bit.ly/cAfeYs
Since we are moving our legacy systems to SAP, this report will have to be re-implemented using Adobe LiveCycle PDF which is connecting to Web Service over SAP Systems (since OWC does not connect to Web Service).
The SAP development team have developed the initial webservice which generates the required data.
I have developed the initial version of the LiveCycle PDF, which can be downloaded from this link:
http://bit.ly/9KBgm0
The following is a screen snapshot of the LC Desinger Form:http://bit.ly/cxMK62
When the web service is executed from inside PDF the result looks as follows:
http://bit.ly/cacbCg
The webservice accepts the following required parameters:
1. Period: YYYYMM. User Specified Value.
2. Staff ID: 9999999. It must be supplied automatcially to the web service and it must be the Windows ID of the User Logged In to Windows
Domain.
Other parameters are optional.
Assumptions:
==========
1. I am not using any Adobe Forms Server Technology. I can use LiveCycle Desinger ES2 and LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server.
2. I can alse develop using .NET to get the Logged In User ID (Windows), generate the XDP from ASPX Page and attach the XML to the XDP.
3. We are using IE8 with Adobe Reader 9 Plugin (IE add-on) to display LiveCycle PDF inside IE.
Questions:
========
1. First time the webservice is executed, I will get a prompt to allow/deny execution of the webservice. This is a security issue here, becuase we do not want any user to know the link to the Web Service. How we can hide the link to the webservice and prevent any user from getting the link ?
2. How I can stop the Prompt to Allow/Deny execution to the Web Service for good ? As you know, users will get confused, and when we launch this PDF, it will generate a lot of calls to the Service Desk (more than 1000 users).
3. The Web Service uses Simple User Name/Password for authentication to run the webservice. I need to embed the User Name/Password inside
the PDF, and also prevent any user for getting them, how ?
4. I want to send the Staff ID Parameter to the Web Service Automatically which is the Logged In User ID (Windows). This is the same value of the "Login Name" which can be accessed using Acrobat JavaScript. But the problem, this script must be trusted, and it will be a long story. Any ideas how to implement this requirement using simple methods ?
5. If I manage to send the Staff ID Parameter to the Webservice automatically (Logged In User ID), also, I want to prevent the user from sending a different user ID, ie, prevent him from using Import Data to Form to specify a Different User ID for the Webservice Parameter. How ?
I appreciate your help if you have any ideas about the above.
Tarek.

Hi Tarek,
First of all, Thank for your replying.
I have developing Adobe LiveCycle xdp form with a button. The SAP Web Service will be called when the button is pressed.
Before that, I ‘m able to call another ASP.NET web services by using SOAP.request call. However, when I apply the code to call SAP web service, it doesn’t work. I checked that the web service is valid. And I found that there is something wrong when implementing the SOAP.request call. But I have no idea what wrong is it. So, I beg your help
The following is the code in the click event of the button:
//mainData.sfMain.Button7[1]::click - (JavaScript, client)
 var webServiceEndPoint = "http://xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx.com:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_DEDB492BB032E7F1B09F001CC4FBCEC9/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?s ap-client=300";
 var staffIDInput = "9999999";
 var oAuthenticator = {
 Username: "usr",
 Password: "pw"
app.alert("1");
 var response = SOAP.request({
 bEncoded: false,
 cResponseStyle: SOAPMessageStyle.Message,
 cURL: webServiceEndPoint,
 oRequest: {"urn:Z_RFC_GET_STAFF_BANK_INFO":{A_STAFF_ID: staffIDInput}},
 cAction: "urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions",
 oAuthenticate: oAuthenticator
app.alert("2");

Can you create a Adobe DPS app that use Web Services

I'm looking to create a DPS app that uses web services to pass data to and from a web server when the user has an internet connection, but when the user is offline stores data locally until an internet connection is established and then passes the locally stored data to the web server. Is this possible with DPS/

It's challenging but it's possible. Hint: local storage.

How to get the list of values for a dynamic parameter using Web Services SDK?

I am struggling to get the list of values for a dynamic parameter of a report.I am using Java Web Services SDK ... I tried to use PromptInfo.getLOV().getValues() method but it does not work.First of all ... is this possible (to get the list of values for a dynamic param) using Web Services?Second of all, if this is possible, how should I do it ... it seems it works fine when running the report from CMC. It asks for DB logon info and after that it provides a list of values.Thx 

Your assumption is correct. We are trying to get the LOVs from the Crystal Report. I was not aware that this is not supported by Web Services SDK.We used Web Services SDK to integrated the Crystal Reports in our web application. We implemented some basic actions for reports: schedule, view instances, run ad-hoc reports.We encountered this problem when trying to run/schedule reports with dynamic parameters (a list of values from DB). We were unable to get the LOVs.Please let me know if you can think of an alternative to look at.Thanks a lot,Catalin

Using Web Service as Data source (Pluggable Data Source) in Oracle Reports

Anyone using Webservice as a pluggable data source in oracle 10g reports.(Report builder version:10.1.2.0.2)? We need to be able to use web service as one of the data source to create reports.Tried the following and ran into issues:
Imported the wspds.jar fle from oracle plugin exchage. When tried using it received the following error in oracle reports trace file.
04/26 22:27:22 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDBuilder.build([Loracle/xml/parser/v2/XMLDocument;Ljava/net/URL;)Ljava/lang/Object;
By troubleshooting issue found out that xmlparserv2.jar in 10g is newer than xmlparserv2.jar in 9i. wspds.jar is using xmlparserv2.jar in 9i as it was developed and tested for 9i only. Believe there is no newer wspds.jar file developed specifically for 10g?
Is there a better/standard solution to use webservice as data source in oracle 10g reports? Does later version of oracle reports supports webservice as a data source without any additional plugins? Any suggestion would be helpful.

Please provide support for the above request.
It appears that Oracle 10g reports doesn't support Web Service as pluggable data source. Is this option is available in Oracle 11g Reports or Oracle Discoverer Or OBIEE?
