Web Service Inside Web Service

Question

hi there,
I've been trying to create a web service that is a combination of already existing web services. The code compiles and deploys ok but when i restart apache the http://localhost:8080/axis/servlet/AxisServlet page is empty. the service implementation code is-
package mu;
//Standard libraries
import javax.xml.rpc.Service;
import javax.xml.rpc.Stub;
import java.util.Vector;
// Our glue code
import services.webservice.hgu.WebService;
import services.webservice.hgu.WebServiceService;
import services.webservice.hgu.WebServiceServiceLocator;
import hgu.WSDLGenerated.SubmissionQuery.GeneExpressedQueryShortDetails;
import hgu.WSDLGenerated.SubmissionQuery.ComponentExpressQueryShortDetails;
public class Mu_Impl implements Mu{
     public String[] getMouseAbstractNodes(String timedNodes[]){
          String abstractNodes[] = null;
          try{
               WebServiceService mouseService = new WebServiceServiceLocator();
               WebService mousePort = mouseService.getma();
               abstractNodes = mousePort.getAbstractNodes(timedNodes);
          }catch(Exception e){}
          return abstractNodes;
Any ideas why this is fruitless?
-cheers, Ian

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.
