Web Service Proof-of-concept

Is it possible to create a web service on Oracle's hosted Apex site? I'd like to do a proof-of-concept to show how a client can call a web service to insert a row in a table.
Thanks

Hi jrager,
No you can not. It has been be disabled, probably because of security.

Java implementation of web service concept

I am so confused. What exactly is the Java implementation of web service concept? SOAP, J2EE, JSP+Servlets+beans or what?

For an excellent description of webservices in Java read the following article
http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=WebServices-Dev-Guide
It should clear most of your doubts.
Web services means a client server program which exhanges data in XML over HTTP.
Soap is one way of implementing web services. A java soap implementation is freely available at
http://xml.apache.org/soap/index.html
Also, you can read about ebXML (which is another model for making web services).
http://www.xml.org/feature_articles/2000_1107_miller.shtml
http://java.sun.com/features/2001/09/ebxmlrev.html
hope this helps.

Abhishek.

Seeking advice with concept / design of a Java Web Services Application

Hi all,
After a week of searching the internet I'm not sure how which projects, services, etc. I should use to develop my application. Please could someone offer some advice?
Application outline (Java application running on Linux):
1. Wait for an instruction from a Windows WCF application. Instruction contains a list of domain names and one or two other parameters.
2. Perform queries upon those domain names (find if they are registered, etc. - takes 10-20 mins to do complete list)
3. Send back results to WCF application.
Solution 1 (first idea):
1. Create SOAP web service using Java Web Services / Apache to listen for requests. Executes a Java Client Application upon request.
2. Java Client Application performs the queries...
3. Java Client Application sends results to the Windows web service.
Solution 1 Problems:
a) Using 2 applications, they won't be able to share the same memory.
b) The whole process will be slow (having to pass the domain names from the service to application and execute the application each time) - A quick response is critical.
c) Would like is for the whole process to be done under one application, sharing the same memory.
Solution 2:
1. Create a Java Daemon from scratch listening for an incoming SOAP message (no web service like Apache/Tomcat involved).
2. Query the domain names in a new thread inside the Java Daemon
3. Send the results back via SOAP.
Solution 2 Problems:
Cannot find examples of how to create a SOAP service from scratch. E.g. creating a WSDL file based on my application; converting application methods to SOAP-callable methods easily (without writing a framework).
With all the Java tools and projects out there - Java EE, Glassfish Project - there must be a very easy way to achieve this seemingly simple task. Please can someone offer some advice?
Many thanks for reading this.

You just need an app server like Tomcat.If I'm not wrong, Tomcat is a Servlet container.
Servlets aren't deactivated when they don't receive
any request for some time?
How can I deploy an application to Tomcat in order to
keep it always active?I don't know what you mean. Tomcat is an application that is always running. In what way are the Servlets deactivated?
Apache Axis: http://ws.apache.org/axis/
Yes I'm collecting some info about this... let's see
it!
Finally, to be more clearer... I don't want to start
a new application at each invocation (something like
getting the request, instantiating the necessary
classes and executing them) but to call an already
running app at each invocation (so, getting request
and invoking, in a manner that I don't know, the
running application).The container manages this. If you have data that must remain loaded, you can associate it with the class (use a static modifier.) This will complicate threading, however.
I can use Axis to get the request, but it also grants
me that my app will always be active?I think you are just using the wrong terminology here. What I think you are asking is whether the resources will be loded into memory at all times. If you want to ensure this behavior, you need to associate the data with a class. I'm not 100% positive, but I don't think Tomcat will unload classes in normal circumstances.

Excel Function to query BW using Web Services API

Hello,
I need to write an Excel function as an .XLA that will do the following:
It will be invoked like any other Excel function. E.g. =GetCost(param p1, param p2)
This function queries an InfoCube and must return a single numerical value for the Cell in Excel that the function is used in.
I have never done anything like this before. I have done a decent amount of reading to discover the best way to attack this. It seems like the best way to create this functionality is to:
1. create a web service in a BW function group with a function module that is RFC enabled.
2. I'm thinking the function module will use native SQL to query the InfoCube and pull the value and then somehow pass this value to a web service.
3. The value in the web service will be accessed through it's API in Excel/VBA.
I am not sure if this is best way to do this, or if it is even possible to do it this way. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I am heading down the right path and possibly direct me to a tutorial or other information that would aid in accomplishing this. I have yet to find some type of proof of concept from beginning to end on how to do something like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
These are the documents I have found insightful so far:
How to build an XLA: http://www.fontstuff.com/vba/vbatut03.htm
If you can read a table and dump it into Excel then you can query an InfoCube? https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c043d836-166c-2910-b99e-ae3633dec547

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9b/dad1ae3908ee44a5caf57e10918be9/frameset.htm
What I am missing is how to pass data from the function module to the webservice, and from the webservice to the Excel/VBA code.
Thanks!

Are the WLS 9.1 Web Service Ant Tasks ready for prime time?

I am trying to create a Proof of Concept (POC) for Enterprise and B2B Services at Wendy's Int'l, Inc.
As part of this POC, I created a WSDL for an in-house service and then used the wsdlc and jwsc Ant Tasks to translate this WSDL to Java classes and ultimately (I hoped) a deployable services.
In this document, I describe the issues I encountered setting up what I consider to be a simple POC.
I'll try to attach my WSDL file and build.xml so you can follow along.
I'll also try to attach my CSS file so you can compare how the generated WSDL appears in the Browser to the way I want it to appear.
If attachments are not allowed on these forums, then I will wait and see if there is interest in those documents before I paste them under this topic.
Some preliminary information about my environment.
Environment:
 Windows XP Pro SP2
 WebLogic 9.1
 Java 1.5.0_04
Service Name:
 AppRelease
Note: If I modify my WSDL (perhaps to add a new Operation or to change the definition of an element) and run wsdlc again, the AppReleaseSOAPPortImpl.java file is overwritten For this reason, I implemented my service logic in a class called AppReleaseServiceImple.java.
Now, for the issues.
1. Bug:
In the WSDL generated by wsdlc, the wsdl:part child of the wsdl:message tag is erroneously prefixed with a colon.
This occurs whether or not I specify a prefix for the http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/ namespace.
Work around: Extract the wsdl from the jar file, fix it and add it back into the jar.
2. Bug:
In the WSDL generated by wsdlc, the wsdl:input and wsdl:output children of the wsdl:operation child of wsdl:portType tag are erroneously prefixed with a colon. Like 1 above, this occurs whether or not I specify a prefix for the http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/ namespace.
Work around: Extract the wsdl from the jar file, fix it and add it back into the jar.
The error message generated by Bugs 1 and 2 is not helpful in diagnosing the problem:
[jwsc] Error at line:46 col:7 ':' expected [?! -- [CDATA[ ]
3. Bug:
In the WSDL generated by wsdlc, the documentation elements have all of my html elements stripped out, as well as my xhtml and wsdl namespace references. This completely negates one of the best features of the documentation tag, being able to present the WSDL in a browser as a nicely formatted, human friendly document which is also the underlying WSDL that can be viewed when the person views the source document.
I label this as a bug because it greatly reduces the functionality of the resulting WSDL.
4. Annoyance:
The WSDL generated by wsdlc has all of my comments stripped out, except the comments in the xsd:schema section of the wsdl:types element. I would prefer that all my comments be left in the WSDL, but if comments must be stripped out then I think all of the comments should be stripped out.
5. Annoyance:
The WSDL generated by wsdlc has my CSS specification stripped.
Work around: I donâ€™t know if adding the CSS back will do any good because I have not yet created a deployable service (see the last issue below).
6. Annoyance:
The WSDL generated by wsdlc has different namespace prefixes than the ones I specified for my application's namespace and for the http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/ namespace.
Work around: Perform a find/replace on namespace prefixes "s0" and "s1" to return them to my prefered values.
Another thing I can do at this point is simply replace the generated WSDL in the jar file with my original WSDL. This would address issues 1 thru 6 above.
7. Annoyance:
The java source files created by wsdlc are put into a jar file. This makes it annoying when working within a traditional IDE like Eclipse because there is no way to reference the source files within the jar as working source.
Work around: Extract the source files from the jar and identify the resulting directory structure as part of the source structure of the project.
8. Bug:
The jwsc task complains if the same parameter name is used in multiple operations. I received the following Errors from jwsc:
[jwsc] C:\IDE\workspace\Acre-WL9.1\AppReleaseSOAPPort.java 0:0
[jwsc] [ERROR] - Parameter element "{http://acre.services.wendys.com/AppRelease/}garRequest" is not unique across document/literal bare WebService.
Since the operation names are unique, I see no reason to also require uniqueness in the parameter names used by those operations.
Work around: Use unique element names for the input parameters of the services operations.
9. Bug:
Once items 1, 2 and 8 above are taken care of, jwsc fails with the following error:
java.lang.AssertionError: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: weblogic.j2ee.descriptor.ApplicationBeanImpl
This seems to be due to the weblogic.jar file not being in the System Classpath.
However, I should note that when I set verbose="on" and debug="on" in the jwsc ant task, there was a message from the task which stated "[jwsc] [search path for class files: [big freakinâ€™ jar list]". In the big freakinâ€™ jar list, I did find weblogic.jar and weblogic.jar has the required ApplicationBeanImpl. This indicates to me that the jwsc task does not fully honor either its classpathref attribute, nor an embedded classpath element.
Work around: Make sure the weblogic.jar is in the System Classpath.
10. Bug:
I fixed bug #9 by running a setDomainEnv script and then ran my ant task. This time I received the following output:
ant build-serviceBuildfile: build.xml
build-service:
[jwsc] 1 JWS files will be processed.
[jwsc] Processing JWS: C:\IDE\workspace\Acre-WL9.1\src\com\wendys\services\acre\AppReleaseServiceImpl.java
[jwsc] JWS: C:\IDE\workspace\Acre-WL9.1\src\com\wendys\services\acre\AppReleaseServiceImpl.java Validated.
[AntUtil.deleteDir] Deleting directory <some temporary directory>
BUILD FAILED
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
At this point, I am completely stymied about how to proceed.
I wonder what new issues await once this 10th issue is addressed.
Really, is this tool set ready for prime time?

Sorry to hear you are having so many issues with using the WLS 9.1 web service Ant tasks, inside of Eclipse.
I generally create a User Library for the couple weblogic jars needed, and use it (the User Library) in my Eclipse projects that I create JWSes in. 
I also have a separate WebLogic Library in Eclipse (actually 2 libraries since I work with WL 8.1 and now WL 9.1). As you may know, one of the long-standing issues with the Ant integration within Eclipse is the fact that Ant, being an External Tool, does not receive the Project-specific Paths/Libraries. However, since most Java-relevant Ant tasks can take classpath and classpathref attributes, this is usually not an issue. In the case of the BEA-supplied wsdlc Ant task, it is apparent from the verbose/debug console output that wsdlc can see the jars in its classpathref, but it ignores those references when resolving class references and instead only uses the system classpath.

I've only needed the weblogic.jar and xbean.jar, not all the ones you mentioned in an earlier thread of this post. 
I have not tried to winnow down exactly which jars are required. I simply included all the jars that exist and were added to the system classpath by the setDomainEnv.bat file created by WebLogic 9.1.

Afterwards, I create an Ant Builder to build the JWS Web Service EAR, as opposed to fiddlin' with Eclipse. 
I too use Ant to build my deployable archives. Eclipse is simply my IDE of choice. I validated that all the issues I listed occurred when running Ant from the command line.

If you are interested in how I do it, send me an e-mail (to [email protected]), and I'll send you a zip of one of these JWS projects. The build.xml script for the project, takes care of a lot of the "annoyances" you mentioned, one of which I think is not accurate. I have never had a situation where the wsdlc Ant task "overwrote" my XXXImpl.java file.. 
Since I'm doing a POC to determine how we want to proceed with developing Web Services and an SOA in general, I tried to perform the same tasks using Axis 2 1.0, the WebLogic 9.1 tools, and XFire 1.1. Overwriting the Impl class is a common failing in the tools which take a WSDL and create Java source files for all three frameworks.

Try my scenario. Add another operation to an existing WSDL, and run the wsdlc Ant Task. The old IMPL class will be over-written.

Because of this, I have a separate Impl class and I make sure that all its methods and annotations match the methods and annotations in the Skeleton Impl class created by wsdlc.

Maybe that's because I use the <exec> Ant task with jar.exe (the xvf options) in my build.xml, to only get what I need out of the .jar/.zip the wsdlc generates. I'm typically only interest in the interface class that my XXXImpl.java file needs to implements, because I use XMLBeans for the input args (and return values) of my web service operations. 
Perhaps. I am not using XMLBeans in any of the three frameworks because the resulting service seems to be lighter-weight in all three frameworks if XMLBeans is not used. I'm sure there will be scenarios where XMLBeans is preferred, but I have not encountered that case in this POC.

How to perform auth check on Web Service calling BAPI in R/3 via XI?

Hi all,
We are running Net weaver PI 7.0 SPS11 and 4.6C R/3 and working on proof-of-concept project using BAPIs exposed on XI as Web Services and called from external SOAP client (MS SharePoint). We got it working fine with HTTPS and SOAP protocol as Sender and RFC Adapter as Receiver to R/3.
Now we want to add authentication and authorization to this scenario...authentication will probably be SSO and SSL/HTTPS, but we are wondering how to handle authorizations in R/3? RFC Adapter channel is configured with system user, so once BAPI is called this use runs transactions in R/3 and in R/3, where the authorization is checked, we have no visibility which user requested Web service
Is there any way we could extract user is from HTTP header and have it dynamically used in RFC Adapter channel config? Or maybe there is another way to handle this?
Any insights how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Margaret

We found solution, PP can be configured on XI to have user running transaction known on R/3 backend system, so authorizations can be invoked.

SWA: Web Services call with attachment using 10.1.3 preview?

Has anyone managed to figure out how to invoke a web service with an attachment (using SWA, SOAP with Attachments) with the new 10.1.3 preview release?
Or are there any samples/documents that can point me in the right direction on how to do this?
Thanks!
....Andrzej

Finally got 10.1.3 installed, and sure enough, there is an example for the use of SWA (SOAP with Attachments), both as client and as server.
But the notes say it won't run with Oracle Lite DB. Makes me wonder why?
Kinda sucks, since that is what we're using for our proof of concept. <sigh>

SOA - real time proxy to web service scenario

Hello Experts,
I am working on PI but really very much new to the SOA concept.
But i have to prepare document which explains about all steps that we need to follow (technicallly) for the SOA implementation.
We are going to implement one Proof of Concept for SOA before going for the real project.
Can someone please help me and tell me what all the things i need to do for Proxy to Web Service Scenario in PI.
I hope i have made myself clear about it.
Thanks,
Hetal

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for your advice.
I have one more question and i tried to explore SDN alot but didnt get satisfactory answer.
here is the situation:
My scenario is like :
.Net application = consumer
ECC = Provider
PI = broker
SR = Publish ES
I am using the Outside - In approach, where i am creating proxy structure in ESR and then creating/ Generating Proxy in ECC.
I am exposing my Inbound Interface on SR, so that the WSDL is available on SR.
Now the situation is, our consumer is asking data from us in different format.
I read on help.sap.com that via PI mapping it is possible.
But i am not understanding that consumer is using ECC WSDL to make a call, then even though mapping is there, how can they get response in their required format.
They are even providing us their WSDL. I am totally confused that in one interface how come two different WSDLs can work?
Or is there a way for this?
I am even ready to use the same structure for my ECC which is provided by consumer, but then i dont see any outcome using PI.
I also have question, that for standard service also, ECC Enterprise service structure is fixed which we expose, then using PI how can we provide consumers response in their desired way.
I know that m asking this question again and again, but still it is not getting clear to me... might be m not understanding that how it works in SOA.
If possible can you tell me the steps that i need to follow technically to develope this interface? so that i can get better understanding?
Thanks,
Hetal

Message Monitoring and Web services Sequences .. SOAMANAGER

When can I use Mesage Monitoring and Sequence Monitoring .
We are making a proof a concept and we are the following.
1. A program which executes a proxy and with this proxy we are consuming a web services.
2. The proxy and web services were implemented in the same Abap Machine .
3. We execute the test and everything works very well and we consume the webservice and the program displays the expected result.
Now want to know How can we use the Message Monitoring and the Sequence Monitoring . Is this posible ? Do we have to make any previous configuration?
We don´t have any XI installation and for that we wonder if we can monitorize the webservices sequences ?
Any idea about if we can realize such king of actions ..
Many Thanks

Hi
I assumes u have dual stack.
You can do the sequence monitoring with or without PI. But without PI you would achieve that thing on the local machine.
You have to do those things at Java End using SAP NWA.

Using web service to update rows on InfoPath form

I managed to get a proof of concept working where I can read data from a web service to populate a table on my InfoPath form. I have found information about how to use a web service to "submit" data from the InfoPath form. But what if I want to
update an existing record from the read that I displayed on the InfoPath form?
I have some simple methods in my web service for "read employees", "insert employee", and "update employee". Nothing really fancy. I think I can manage to tell InfoPath to use "insert employee" for the submit command,
but I'm not entirely sure how it knows exactly what to submit. I have no idea how to tell InfoPath to use the "update employee" method if a user edits a record, nor, what button to push to do that.
I have a feeling that "submit" is supposed to cover both "insert" and "update" but I can't find anything to confirm that. If that is true, I am not sure how to handle responses from multiple calls if the user tries to update
or add multiple rows at a time.
If "submit" does handle both "insert" and "update" then is best practice to make the web method intelligent enough to tell the difference?

Given that IP has been killed off by Microsoft, and that you are still in the dev process, I might not recommend its use. Consider BCS instead.

Authentication between a web service and XI

Hi VC experts,
I'm in a deadline date to show the project clients a proof of concept that show the VC consuming data from XI through a XI generated WSDL file deployed as a web service.
When I test the web service with soapUI or XMLSpy, as there's a place to fill the username and password who has access to XI, the web service works just fine.
But, when I try to access it using a system object created inside SAP Portal, it fails.
I tried it in
two ways:
1. Using the system in a VC model. I can get the web service input/output parameters, select those I need to use (The same used when I test it through soapUI and XMLSpy) and, when I execute the test (Using the "Test Data Service" feature), the VC shows me the message "Portal request failed (Could not execute Web service operation)"
2. Creating a Web Service iView inside the SAP Portal. Informing the same input parameters as the tests described above, and when I preview it, the message "Function execution failed. Exception message: Could not execute Web service operation" is showed inside the iView.
I really appreciate any help. (And I promise I'll reward these helps with points!)
Thanks in advance,
André

Hi André
You can visit the https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/VC/Connectivity page for troubleshooting.
Also it should be great if you let us know the SPS level and the way you register the WebService in the Portal to be reached on the VC Storyboard.

Luis

RightsManagement web service

I have successfully installed a turnkey LiveCycle (WebLogic) server and have written a couple test methods in C# (as proof of concepts). One method I have invokes the rights management web service to apply a policy to a PDF. It appears to work fine, except when the new PDF (with rights) is loaded Adobe Reader tells me:
"You are attempting to connect to an Adobe LiveCycle Policy Server using an insecure protocol (http)....."
And it wont let me view the PDF (which makes sense).
So I configured WebLogic for SSL using the info here: http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_administration. Note: I used the SSL port of 7002, just like in the docs.
Now I am not sure what else i need to do. I am calling the rights management webservice using the Url: http://testbed:8001/soap/services/RightsManagementService and I get the same "insecure protocol" error as above. If I switch the Url to HTTPS and port 7002, the web call fails with "unable to connect to server". I feel i told weblogic how to use SSL, but LiveCycle needs configuration somewhere to make this work.
I guess I am trying to determine what else I need to do in order to allow me to view my PDFS after I apply rights. This is not production, this is just a testbed so we can write some proof-of-concept code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ok i managed to get a little further on my own, but am failing on the SSL. By reading this post from previous LC versions(http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc0a469/0) I realized i needed to set the BASE URL of the Rights Management service to point to the SSL port, like https://192.168.1.x:8443 and to keep calling the web service using the http://192.168.1.x:8001 url.
Now I can call the service, get back my document with rights, and when I load the document I see it is hitting https://192.168.1.x:8443 (because it tells me), but when I allow this I get the error:
"The computer must be connected to the network in order to open this document."
So there must be something more to enabling SSL in WebLogic than was stated here? http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_administration
Any help would be appreciated.

Web Service - Create Purchase Order

Hi,
I'm about to start building a proof of concept around integrating an on premise system with cloud fusion.
One of the requirements is to create a PO in Fusion on demand using data from the on premise system.
I am fairly comfortable with the overall process having done similar with a Journal Entry.
However, the Create PO web service is much more complex than Journals and I know that I am likely to spend an disproportionate amount of time trying to work out the SOAP payload.
Does anyone have an example of the minimum SOAP Envelope required. The WSDL states that all fields are optional, which is clearly not the case.
Thanks

Thanks for the help Richard and Oliver,
I'm using Purchase Order Service Version 2 (11.1.9.0.0)
The main thing I noticed was that the namespaces on the envelope are different (see below), that's just a small section, but as you can see the namespace <pur: is used whereas in the examples I have seen it seems to be <ns1:

Calling an Abap Web Service from IBM WebSphere with a MYSAPSSO2 Cookie

Hello,
I have the following problem :
I have to develop a proof of concept between IBM Web Sphere 5.1 and SAP AS JAVA 7.0.
I have created an IBM sevlet in Web Sphere, I use a specific redirect from an SAP AS Java to call it, this way I can have a SAP Logon Ticket, and I manage to call an ABAP module function with JCO with SSO.
Scenario 1 : browser + authentication --> AS Java redirect servlet MYSAPSSO2 cookie -> IBM WebSphere servlet JCO -> Abap module function (ECC5)
This scenario works fine.
I have to do the same scenario with a Web Service and I don't know what to do.
I try to use jax-rpc handlers but I don't know how to pass my cookie from my servlet to my handler.
Scenario 2 : browser + authentication --> AS Java redirect servlet MYSAPSSO2 cookie -> IBM WebSphere servlet JCO -> Abap Web Service (ECC5)
Has someone already done that ?
Regards, Julien.

Julien,
Why are you using 5.1....go for 6.0 and its cake walk, i have integrated WebSphere 6.0 with R/3 uysing xi.....in a week.
Scenario changed to:--
Browser+ authentication --> WebSphere AS servlet request --> XI --> RFC/bapi --> abap webService
Hope that helps
Regards
Ravi

Web Service Best and Worst Practices within Oracle SOA Suite

Hi All,
Has anybody got a single document that concisely details the best and worst practices around the design of web services for oracle SOA and BPEL.
I'm interested the following aspects
1. Level of Granularity
2. Level of Reuse
3. BPEL orchestration. numbers of BPEL process vs services
4. Transport choices...SOAP vs REST vs Big Services etc
5. Activity Monitoring with BAM
6. Future proofing of signatures and ongoing maintenance and process change
I'm constructing a document myself to share on this forum, but i'd be very interested to use the wisdom of others if somebody has done this before...
Thanks in advance :)

This is a question best answered by your Oracle reseller or Oracle account manager to give you all the details but I hope this brief answer helps:
- The Unified Business Process Management Suite (BPM Suite 11g) includes: BPM Studio, BPM Composer, BPMN Service Engine and Workflow Extensions, BPM Process Spaces, and BPM Process Analytics.
- BPM Suite 11g requires the licensing of SOA Suite 11g for Oracle Middleware which requires a license for WebLogic Suite.
- You can license SOA Suite 11g now and license BPM Suite 11g later.
Since the products are layered, I don't see this cutting into SOA sales at all. My personal view is that BPM on top of SOA is brilliant since it provides easy integration between human and automated tasks, builds on many of the SOA concepts that are key for a successful BPM implementation (functional, not the Oracle product), and uses the same IDE. The synergies extend past easy use of services; the same business rules and human workflow components are used between both products.
