Web service has sent an empty response

Hi,
Its a soap to soap scenario .I sent a request using altova xml spy and got an empty response.
There is no xi message in sxmb_moni .
The sender soap channel is running and shows no message in runtime workbench.
The receiver soap channel status is "channel started but inactive /uninitialised"
Can you tell me how to proceed?
thanks a lot,
Ramya

The soap request now goes to XI
How?
Virtual Interface Method >mt_request::http://eu3cg/pi/security< not supported
Check if the message structures included in MI, Mapping etc are proper....the error says that the adapter is not able to parse the mt_request ....so there is some error in configuration.
If this doesnt help then explain the steps that you have implemented to create/ configure this scenario.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Web Service Client - SOAP/jms: Specific response queue (not default queue)?

Hi @ll
I try to define a specific jms response queue for a web service client that communicates SOAP/jms, running on a WLS 9.2. The web service itself runs also on a WLS 9.2 where also the request and response queues are located. By default the client receives the responses from a temporary response queue. Is there a way to define a specific response queue e.g. setting the JMSReplyTo property in the request on the client side?

WLS do not have a light SOAP client with callbacks yet. It is
not a planed feature for 7.0, but we will considering this for
post 7.0.

Hi, guys:
I have a system : client written in Java/Swing, HTTPS authentication,
and then subscribes to a WLS 61. SP2 based JMS Topic and also has the
ability to send message to a Queue, since I can not bring down the size of
the client side WLS JMS dependency lib, I am thinking about using SOAP /
web service as the communication tier between my client and server, so the
question is: since the client need get the price updates in a real time
mode, I need build a server side based PUSH for all the new price updates
which come into the JMS Topic, and broadcast as SOAP messages to client,is
this mean that I have to build the Call - Back for the Java Swing Client,so
it can automatically get the new price updates as it's getting from JMS
Topic now ? Any Idea on how to build server side PUSH based SOAP message
center as web service ?? Thanks a lot.
regards,
mark
FYI:
I need the same PUSH service for my .NET based client as well.

Consuming Domino web service with JAXB encounters Method Response element

I am able to consume a Domino R7 (Axis) web service with JAX-WS using Dispatch<SOAPMessage>. When I try using Dispatch<Object> however, JAXB throws an exception because it encounters an unexpected tag.
The XML from the web service looks like this:
<Envelope>
    <Body>
        <WebServiceMethodResponse>
            <WebServiceMethodReturn>
                The meaning of life
            </WebServiceMethodReturn>
        </WebServiceMethodResponse>
    </Body>
</Envelope>With Dispatch<SOAPMessage>, I can get to the meaning of life quickly using SOAPBody.getElementsByTagName( "WebServiceMethodReturn" ) but with Dispatch<Object>, it appears I must also create a class for the WebServiceMethodResponse element to make JAXB happy. I don't see this happening in other people's examples. Has the Return-element-within-Response-element design been eliminated in pure JAX-WS web services, or is this something that only IBM does?

In case anyone's search leads them here, I've posted the solution at:
*[http://www.pby.com/general.nsf/webarticles/dominowebservice01]*
It is an exhaustive article (not "Hello World"!) that goes through several versions of the web service and client - hopefully explaining all+ pieces of the puzzle:
~ web service code,
~ WSDLs
~ schema
~ thoroughly-documented clients that do and do not use JAXB
~ ... that use generated artifacts
~ ... that customize existing POJOs
~ the SOAP messages generated in each direction
~ the necessary JAXB annotations
~ explanations of how the code works
~ explanations of how namespaces affect the code
~ on and on and on...
My constant goal was to write an uncomplicated solution that uses as few artifacts (two) and annotations as possible. The end result is a small, fast JAX-WS 2.0 client that uses JAXB to invoke and consume a secured Domino 7 (1.4.2 JVM + AXIS) web service, using RPC/literal SOAP messages.

BUG: Web service returns request XML as response when result too large

Hi,
sorry for cross-posting, but the Web Services forum seems to be quite abandoned and this is an urgent issue for me.
I have a web service returning some records of a given type (created using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3). The running environment and the service implementation do not seem to make any difference, as the situation is the same whether running it in embedded OC4J or in AS 10.1.3.1, and whether it is generated from a PL/SQL procedure or a method of a plain Java class.
The problem is that if the result of this web service is too large (contains a lot of records), then the processing halts in some Oracle class in some web service library, so not in a debuggable generated web service source or in the service implementation itself.
I think that the XML processing halts because of a "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space".
Then a more serious problem follows: the service doesn't return a fault message but the original request XML as a response. Obviously, this can lead to some really unexpected errors.
To reproduce this error:
1. Create a Java class with a method returning an array of an arbitrary type, of the size specified in an input parameter.
2. Create a web service from this class.
3. Call it multiple times increasing the size parameter in every call until you get back the request as response or any error message.
For example:
- if you test the web service using the web page generated to access the endpoint, then you can see the response XML - in case you don't get an Internal Server Error (Java heap space).
- if you use a generated web service proxy for testing, then it will give an error saying "unexpected element name: expected={namespace}someOperationResponseElement
actual={namespace}someOperationElement".
Any ideas how to locate / solve this problem?
Regards,
Patrik

Patrik,
the usual recommendation is to try with 10.1.3.3 instead of 10.1.3.1 to exclude you are hunting down an already fixed issue. From what you describe, the error seems less JDeveloper related than OC4J or OracleAs.
So in case it reproduces in 10.1.3.3 I suggest to create a testcase and open a service request with support, or try the OC4J forum in case its known there.

LR4 Flickr plug-in 'could not contact Flickr web service' - has nobody solved this problem?

G'day All,
I know i'm not alone. LR4 is now telling me it cannot update (Re-Publish) images successfully uploaded only an hour before via the native Lightroom publishing service.
Here's the plug-in diagnostic:
Plug-in error log for plug-in at: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.1\Flickr.lrplugin
**** Error 1
This plug-in’s post-processing task did not finish successfully.
Could not contact the Flickr web service. Please check your Internet connection.
There are a couple of other discussions of the same issue on this forum, dating back to 2010, and, as far as I can see, no resolution to date.
Am I wrong?
I know there's the other guy's plugin, but everyone with the same problem reports no change if they switch to that. I'm signed in without problems to Flickr via both IE and FF, and the Flickr Uploadr connects just fine. I'm at work, and am hardly in a position to be tweaking modem packet-handling, (not that I'd be inclined to anyway!)
Flickr is hardly obscure - it's the biggest, most successful photo-sharing service on the web. Is there a solution I haven't spotted? If not, surely a solution is overdue?
regards,
Bill

G'day Rob,
I've installed the Friedl plugin, but the problem is I have 50 images I'm looking to republish - specifically only to update the captions - whereas the new plugin will naturally want me to republish (all over again) the entire set of photos.
I've just tried republishing 3 of them all over again with full captions via the Friedl plugin and it worked fine - looks like I'll have to delete the original lot if I want to have fully-captioned versions and use the Freidl plug-in from now on!
Think I'll just fiddle with the captions of the originals online, and use the Friedl plug-in for future uploads.
Dear Adobe - could the bug in the original, native publishing service be fixed, please? As Alan states above, we currently potentially have people wandering around playing with systems registeries and modem packet-handling and firewalls because the software is making incorrect reports of connection status, when, in fact, the Adobe Flickr plug-in simply can't handle multiple-paragraphs in captions!
And if you've found this, Dear Reader, because the LR4 (or LRx) Flickr publishing service is telling you you can't connect to Flickr - don't tweak anything! First check if you have entered captions on your photos that contain paragraphs - i.e. carriage or hard-returns so that they appear broken into readable chunks just as this post does - because that's probably the problem. Simplify - to one line - a caption on the next photo or two due to be uploaded to check, and, if that works, and you want to have full captions, try the Friedl plugin!
Thanks to all for your help.

Web Service attachement is returned in response body

Dears,
I have the following problem:
I created a web service that return attachement. When I tested the web service from SOAP UI utility, I found that the webservice return the attachement in both ways, as inline in the responce body and as an attachement to the responce but without adding the href to responce body.
Please advise how I can add the href and remove the attachement from responce body.

How to see http response from an axis web service call (Eclipse)

Hello,
I would like to see the raw http response which is returned from web service calls. I have a dynamic web project in Eclipse which uses a local instance of Tomcat 6. I'm using all of the default setting for a top-down web service generated from a WSDL file. I've generated the client using the built-in "generate client" using default settings.
I've tried using the Eclipse plugin TCP/IP monitor and apache's TCPMON, but I am only able to see the http request, not the http response returned from the web server I am querying.
I've seen some sparse documentation outlining how to use logging handlers and a client-config.wsdd file, but I haven't been able to get that working.
So to recap, I'm looking for a way to view raw http responses using a web service client and server generated from a WSDL file in eclipse. I don't mind creating a new project using different code-generating libraries if someone has an easy way to do this using a different configuration.
Thanks very much,
Craig

A simple google query for "apache axis2 http response" also return this article:

And finally, you did go through the Axis2 website right? It has a wiki with a rather staggering amount of articles in there.

Soap response the web service test page

Hi
I am trying to write the static client for a wlw web service. This web service doesn't have @jws:protocol specified, so it has get, post and soap. When I call one of its method using soap port in my static client, it returns the html looks like the weblogic test page for this web service. Here it is:
<-------------------- RESPONSE TO CLIENT --------------->

Figured out that the testWS.jws is deployed to use ssl. But the wsdl generated has http. It works fine after I manually changed to https.

Slow response when using Xcelsius web service connection witn input values

We've been very successful in using the Xcelsius Web Service Connection. We've recently moved forward toward using input values when calling a web service and having issues with response time. Without input values, it takes 3 - 6 seconds to retrieve and display the results in Xcelsius, but, when using the input values to the web service, it takes about 27 seconds for Xcelsius to retrieve and display the results. Does anyone have experience with fixing slow response associated with using input values for a web service connection?

Hi Sharone,
What's the version of your Xcelsius and BOBJ server?
I'm asking because using the last version of BOBJ server (BOXI 3.1 SP 3) you have new services on CMC just to help Xcelsius to work better with WebServices.
Regards,
Rodrigo.

Response of async web service

Hi there,
I've created a function module which calls a synchronous BAPI. I released this function module as a webservice.
When I call the web service it always gives a response although I don't need it in case of an async call.
Is it normal that even an async web service gives back a response?
Could it be that I have to change something in the definition of the function module to make it asynchronious? As far as I know, only a CALL of that function module can be sync/async, not a FM itself.
How can I achieve that the web service gives a response, or is it normal behaviour for sync and async calls?
THANKS in advance...

Hi,
It will give the response even if for Asynchronous call, as basically its by nature synchronous. Thus in Interface Mappping if you see even if the response is not available the Respose tab get activated.
You could either supress or redirect the resopnse if you will not require it.
The Function module to be called in background for Asynchronous call.

Marshelling Web Service Response Memory Leak

I believe I have found a memory leak when using the configuration below.
The memory leak occurs when calling a web service. When the web service function is marshelling the response of the function call, an "500 Internal Server Error ... java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" is returned from OC4J. This error may be seen via the TCP Packet Monitor in JDeveloper.
Unfortunately no exception dump is outputted to the OC4J log.
Configuration:
Windows 2000 with 1 gig ram
JDeveloper 9.0.5.2 with JAX/RPC extension installed
OC4J 10.0.3
Sun JVM version 1.4.2_03-b02
To demonstrate the error I created a simple web service and client. See below the client and web service function that demonstrates it.
The web service is made up of a single function called "queryTestOutput".
It returns an object of class "TestOutputQueryResult" which contains an int and an array.
The function call accepts a one int input parameter which is used to vary the size of array in the returned object.
For small int (less than 100). Web service function returns successfully.
For larger int and depending on the size of memory configuration when OC4J is launched,
the OutOfMemoryError is returned.
The package "ws_issue.service" contains the web service.
I used the Generate JAX-RPC proxy to build the client (found in package "ws_issue.client"). Package "types" was
also created by Generate JAX-RPC proxy.
To test the web service call execute the class runClient. Vary the int "atestValue" until error is returned.
I have tried this with all three encodings: RPC/Encoded, RPC/Literal, Document/Literal. They have the
same issue.
The OutOfMemory Error is raised fairly consistently using the java settings -Xms386m -Xmx386m for OC4J when 750 is specified for the input parameter.
I also noticed that when 600 is specified, the client seems to hang. According to the TCP Packet Monitor,
the response is returned. But, the client seems unable to unmarshal the message.

Many thanks for your help. This solved the issue for our .NET code, however the leak is still present in the report designer. I was also wondering if you could help further: because of the limits on the java memory process is there a way to ensure that a separate java process is started for each report that is loaded in my report viewers collection? Essentially the desktop application that i have created uses a tab control to display each type report, so each tab goes through the following code when displaying a report and closing a tab:
Is there a way to ensure that a different Java process is kicked off each time that I display a different report? My current code in c# always uses the same Java process so the memory ramps up. The code to load the report and then dispose of the report through closing the tab (and now the Java process) looks like this:
    private void LoadCrystalReport(string FullReportName)
      ReportDocument reportDoc = new ReportDocument();
      reportDoc.Load(FullReportName, OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByTempCopy);
      this.crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = reportDoc;
    private void DisposeCrystalReportObject()
      if (crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource != null)
        ReportDocument report = (ReportDocument)crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource;
        foreach (Table table in report.Database.Tables)
          table.Dispose();
        report.Database.Dispose();

I also noticed that when 600 is specified, the client seems to hang. According to the TCP Packet Monitor,
the response is returned. But, the client seems unable to unmarshal the message.

I use web services a lot and I sympathize with your issue. I
struggle with similar issues and I found this great utility that
will help you confirm if your webservice is returning the data
correctly to Flex. I know you said it works in other applications
but who knows if flex is calling it correctly etc. This utility is
been the most amazing tool in helping me resolve web service
issues.
http://www.charlesproxy.com/
Once you can confirm the data being returned is good you can
try several things in flex. Try changing your result format to
object or e4x etc. See how that plays out. Not sure where your
tapping in to look at your debugger, you might want to catch it
right at the result handler before converting to any collections. .
If nothing here helps maybe post some code to look at. .

SOAP Response from PL/SQL Web Service

My returned SOAP xml from PL/SQL web service has totally rearranged element order, which defined in WSDL and oracle database. It also changed all element name from mixed upper/lower case to pure lower case and makes them hard to read. Why is that? Is there any way to avoid these to happen?
My PL/SQL web service was generated by Oracle9i JDeveloper 9.0.3.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
we need more details
- it seems like you have both Return and OUT arguments; which SOAP stack are you using?
- which tools?
- What is the naming convention of your PL/SQL arguments?
Kuassi
Mike,
1. The SOAP is the result of publishing a stored procedure/function as a Web service.
2. The elements for returned data are re-ordered. The function returns no complex type.
3. The element tags containing returned data are all changed to lower case.
Here are what I expected for returning SOAP:
<return xmlns:ns2="http://oracle817/IDemogprofilews.xsd" xsi:type="ns2:oracle817_ODemog">
<OFipsCode xsi:type="xsd:string">51059</ OFipsCode >
<TotalPopulation xsi:type="xsd:double">818584.0</ TotalPopulation >
<PercentMinority xsi:type="xsd:double">22.5</ PercentMinority >
<PersonsBelowPovertyLevel xsi:type="xsd:double">28210.0</ PersonsBelowPovertyLevel >
<HouseholdsInArea xsi:type="xsd:double">292943.0</ HouseholdsInArea >
<HousingUnitsBuiltBefore1950 xsi:type="xsd:double">5.2</ HousingUnitsBuiltBefore1950 >
<White xsi:type="xsd:double">666349.0</ White >
<HispanicOrigin xsi:type="xsd:double">50526.0</ HispanicOrigin >
<AmericanIndian xsi:type="xsd:double">2318.0</ AmericanIndian >
<HighSchoolDiploma xsi:type="xsd:double">91675.0</ HighSchoolDiploma >
<BachelorAndHigher xsi:type="xsd:double">264673.0</ BachelorAndHigher >
<Adults18yearsAndOlder xsi:type="xsd:double">618989.0</ Adults18yearsAndOlder >
<Seniors65yearsAndOlder xsi:type="xsd:double">52977.0</ Seniors65yearsAndOlder >
Instead I get following back:
<return xmlns:ns2="http://oracle817/IDemogprofilews.xsd" xsi:type="ns2:oracle817_ODemog">
<totalpopulation xsi:type="xsd:double">818584.0</totalpopulation>
<americanindian xsi:type="xsd:double">2318.0</americanindian>
<housingunitsbuiltbefore1950 xsi:type="xsd:double">5.2</housingunitsbuiltbefore1950>
<hispanicorigin xsi:type="xsd:double">50526.0</hispanicorigin>
<highschooldiploma xsi:type="xsd:double">91675.0</highschooldiploma>
<adults18yearsandolder xsi:type="xsd:double">618989.0</adults18yearsandolder>
<seniors65yearsandolder xsi:type="xsd:double">52977.0</seniors65yearsandolder>
<householdsinarea xsi:type="xsd:double">292943.0</householdsinarea>
<personsbelowpovertylevel xsi:type="xsd:double">28210.0</personsbelowpovertylevel>
<ofipscode xsi:type="xsd:string">51059</ofipscode>
<bachelorandhigher xsi:type="xsd:double">264673.0</bachelorandhigher>
<white xsi:type="xsd:double">666349.0</white>
<percentminority xsi:type="xsd:double">22.5</percentminority>
You can see the element tag names are in different order/sequence and cases.
Thanks.

Calling web services

Hi,
How can I call web services from Oracle BI?
My web service has a method (GetEventList) which take some parameters and returns a list.
Can I call this web service method from a dashboard and then show it in there?
Thanks&Regards

Hi,
it`s a pity, that OBIEE does not offer a solution to directly send requests to external webservices and show their results within an answer. Before i tried OBI 11g, i hoped that there would be some improvements regarding that functionality in contrast to OBI 10g.
Workarounds:
1.) In Oracle BI Publisher you can directly call a webservice and get back its results within a report. You could then put that report onto a dashboard. (I do not know whether this is already possible in Oracle BI Publisher 10g
2.) OBI 11g Action Framework. You could put a link onto your dashboard, which calls a webservice. After the webservice sent a response, an information dialog is shown, which can be used to present some general info regarding the webservices' return values.
3.) Create an ASP.NET/JSP-File which calls your Webservice and presents its results in HTML. You could then embed this ASP/JSP-File via an IFrame into your dashboard.
4.) PL/SQL-Wrapper as mentioned before
Conclusion: Oracle should improve this functionality by allowing people to directly call Webservices from Answers.

Web service has sent an empty response
