Web-service inside a DataTemplate

Question

Hi.
Is there a way to include the result from a web-service inside a DataTemplate? you can use <dataQuery><sqlStatement> for a SQL Statement, but is there a tag for querying a web-service (calling a specific method)?

Hi Daniel,
As per the latest documentation :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187/T421739T434255.htm#3503342
There is not such XML element to call a webservice method.
Nevertheless you can still do this either:
- Create a store procedure in DB and within this proc call the webservice method, then you can call this procedure/function within your SQL statement in your data template.
- Or create a java servlet and from within this call your webservice and finally in your data template call the URL that invokes the webservice using the URL element.
Just some ideas to get around what you want.

Jorge
