Web Service that is neither servlet nor EJB

Hello,
I would appreciate if someone can clarify the following for me:
If I want to implement a Web Service using Java, it seems the server MUST be either a servlet or an EJB. It cannot be a standalone Java class.
This makes sense because Web Services rely on HTTP, and therefore on the server side we need a HTTP server that recieves the SOAP-on-HTTP message and passes it to the appropriate URI (a servlet or an EJB).
But what if I want to implement my web service outside of a servlet container and outside of an EJB container? Are there no tools and libraries out there that can provide some of the functions that a HTTP server provides - thus enabling me to transform my standalone Java class into a web service.
If we can have standalone web service clients (i.e. not contained in a J2EE container), why can't we have standalone web service servers?

This makes sense because Web Services rely on HTTP.This statement is not fully correct.
For example, using Axis you can write a Web-service driven by JMS.
To run a JMS-driven web service on Axis, you dont need a J2EE container or web server.
It can run as a stand-alone program.

Problem generating Web Service with business methods in multiple EJB's

Hi,
I'm I a "web service novice" but I'm working with an
application which was developed in an earlier version
of Studio which has
~30 business method coming from ~12 EJB's. When I attempt
to recreate the Web Service in Java Studio Enterprise 7 (had same problem versions 5 and 6) I have trouble. When I execute the "Generate Web Service Files" command I get complilation errors in the <webservice_name>.java file. It is obvious that the
protected Map theJNDIMap = makeJNDIMap();
protected Map makeJNDIMap() {
     Map m = new HashMap();
     // This map might get changed at deployment time
     m.put(......
is all screwed up. Entries are missing and the closing bracket isn't even there.
Is there some user error on my part?
Is this a know bug (I couldn't any info. and I get the same behavior on the current and older versions of Studio)?
Is there a workaround? I can fix this particular java file and compile it sucessfully. However, I'm still missing many of the other web service files that should be generated for me.
All the tutorials on web services that I've done to looked over all get there business method from 1 EJB :(
Please advise,
Freda Phelps

I had a problem too. Successfully created an EJB and its test application. Tested the same using Web client and works fine. Now created a web service from EJB methods. It created the skeletons. When tried creating Web Svc test client or web svc other files..it gives me an exception saying xmlservices.jar doesnt exist in the C:\Docs and Settings\<$username>\.jstudio\Ent04Q4modules. I have searched for this file and copied (overwritten) it into this directory. But still i cant proceed further.

11G - invoking an asynchronous Web service that is not a BPEL process

Hi all,
Is there an 11G example of implementing and invoking an asynchronous Web service that is not a BPEL process ? . In 10g there is an example for Axis web service (Oracle_Home\integration\orabpel\samples\interop\axis\BPELCallingAsyncAXIS ) but I can't find anything related to 11G so far.
Thanks in advance,
sasha

Hey Chris.
I am just starting to write a jcd that calls an external web service but cannot find any sample code nor instructions on how to do it in the supplied documentation. Could you send me a code sample from your one?

Problem running Web Service that uses OracleXMLSave on Oracle AS 10.1.3

I am trying to deploy a Web Service that uses OracleXMLSave. The service was built in Jdeveloper 10.1.3 and is deployed to 10gR3 AS. I have all the utitlites available from the 10g Production XML Developers Kit installed . The code compiles and generates correctly . I then deploy to an EAR file that inlcudes the applicaiton code and also all the XDK libraries . No problems so far. But when I run the app, I get an exception like the one below. It says it can't find XMLType . The funny thing is that this library (xdb.jar) and all other related libraries are there in the EAR file . In fact the class loader seems to see it because the exception says that it is there (see text below).
I have added all the libraries from XML Developer kit like xdb.jar , xsu12.jar , etc. I have also verfieid that the files are selected in the WebServices.deploy file and also present in the EAR file . (See full list below the eror message below. ).
It looks like for some reason the class loader can't load the class even though it seems to know that the class exists in the path.
Been sweating on this for a while (probably staring it at too long :) and would really appreciate some help.
This is the exception thrown when the OracleXMLSave Class is called for the first time.

Well I got the EJB lookup working but only when I changed the Provider Url to the pre-10.1.3 format e.g. ormi://someserver:12421/someapp and used jazn.com/oc4jadmin as the username. After reading the online documentation, I didn't think this should work!
Another issue I am having is casting a datasource returned from a JNDI lookup for a datasource. We used to do the lookup in the code and cast to an OracleDataSource. Now it is throwing a class cast exception to ManagedDataSource. Is there a quick and easy solution to this? I really don't want to have to go into the code and change this cast so it'd be great if we can get this working without changing code. This code has been working in a prod environment for two years now on 9.0.3 -> 9.0.4...

How to call a web service that is managed by web services manager from omni

Ok gurus... here is an interesting one for you.
We have a set of web services that are deployed to our server. We have Oracle Web Services Manager deployed to another server and is acting as a gateway to our web services.
We would like to call our web service and pass it the username and password that were specified in the omniportlet connection information screen. How do we go about doing this?
PS. We are using the latest version of portal (10.1.4).
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Cory

Just a follow up. What I would like to do is to have omni portlet add standard header information for security such as the following:
<soap:Header>
<wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<wsse:UsernameToken xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<wsse:Username>theusername</wsse:Username>
<wsse:Password>thepassword</wsse:Password>
</wsse:UsernameToken>
</wsse:Security>
</soap:Header>
Any ideas on how to get omniportlet do this? Any ideas on where to look for the answer? Oracle dudes: Any plans to add this to future releases?
Thanks again folks :-)

Invoking a web service that returns binary

Hi,
Is it possible to invoke a web service that returns a binary object?
Its similar the following example but I need to return a binary object :
declare
v_url:='http://www.somesite.com/function_name?invoke=placeOrder&par1=val1'
v_output varchar2(4000);
begin
select utl_http.request(v_url)
into v_output from dual;
end;
Thanks in advance

No "advantage" as there are two very different tools.
UTL_HTTP is basically an Oracle PL/SQL web browser. It uses the HTTP application protocol. It is just like your ordinary browser (IE, Firefox, Opera), but as it is server-side and display-less, it comes without a rendering engine.
UTL_DBWS is to interact with web services using the SOAP application protocol.

BPEL build error when invoke an extrenal Web Service that returns an Array

Hello,
I built with JDeveloper a web service that returns an Array of Java Bean classes and I try to invoke this web service from a BPEL process. The wsdl file is automatically generated by the JDev. When I built the BPEl project I obtained the following error:
[bpelc] [Error] :-1:-1: src-resolve.4.2: Error resolving component 'SOAP-ENC:Array'. It was detected that 'SOAP-ENC:Array' is in namespace 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/', but components from this namespace are not referenceable from schema document 'http://malangiu-ro:8988/cde-Project-context-root/CdeFactoryWS?WSDL'. If this is the incorrect namespace, perhaps the prefix of 'SOAP-ENC:Array' needs to be changed. If this is the correct namespace, then an appropriate 'import' tag should be added to 'http://malangiu-ro:8988/cde-Project-context-root/CdeFactoryWS?WSDL'.

Hi,
BPEL and BPEL PM do not have a good support for SOAPENC-Array: it would be very difficult to create such an array in BPEL or to receive it and manipulate it.
The (unfortunately very intrusive) work around is to change the WSDL of the service to use a XML type defined using XML schema. This is all the more painful that JDev 9.0.4 does not have strong support for complex types.
In general though, I would highly recommend this best practice:
1) Start by define the WSDL contract first
2) Then generate the server side skeleton to implement it
3) Use BPEL as the client to this contract.
By starting with the contract first, you make sure that 1) your interfaces are clean and coarse grained.
2) things like java objects, sessions, etc to not leak through the interface (which would be the worst thing that could happen because it would closely link the client and the server.
Sorry for not being more helpful. This will get radically cleaner in Oracle AS 10.1.3.

Not able to consume Web Services that are in Service Registry

Hi Experts,
I am trying to consume the web services that are published into the Service Registry of CE 7.1 Server.
Previously, I was able to consume the web services.But now I found the following error in VC Console, When i try to consume the same web services or even other web services that are there in that server.
"(E) Error in Search: Unknown error has occured in service execution"
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Regards,
Palani

Hi Palani,
I guess the first 2 things you may want to test are:
1. Is the Webservice reachable? please try and run the webservice URL in your browser and see if you get the xml file.
2. Proxy settings - please see that the proxy settings on the server are defined properly.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
Omer.

Problem with web service that returns an object with a String that have som

Hi everybody:
I have a problem with a web service I am doing, I have made a web service that returns a collection of objects, the objects have a set of properties, there is one property that is a String,this property consists in a text fragment that could have some characters that are considered special in XML like &, <, >, " and that's why when I execute the service from a client an exception is thrown:

Deployment of Web service that is in a package?

Hello all,
i want to deploy a java web service that is in a package (package ws;) by using the deploy.wsdd method.
The package contains two more classes that the class i want to deploy as a web service, uses them.
Any help, or any known tutorial on what should i do?
Thank you.

I presume I need to use "file-level" copying to the one-partition drive, but is there anything else to consider?
Yes, if you're talking about CCC, then file level is all you can do copying from the drive you'r booted from, but normally best anyway as the copied files will be unfragmented.
When failures occur, I presume they are due mainly to mechanical failures of the drive mechanism, but do "volume failures" occur very frequently?
Very astute! It's rarely possible to just lose one partition & not others, but if it is HW failure on the HD, then likely all will be lost.
or perhaps to a format that can be read by all platforms (other software needed for that?
Actually, your Intel Mac can boot from an APM partition, you just can't install to it or do Firmware updates from it, but it saved my behind when my only IntelMac died recently & I gad everthing 10.5.8 on an APM Firewire drive, I just plugged it into my eMac & had everything available.

Calling a web service that uses DIME

Can ColdFusion interact with a web service that uses DIME? Has anyone worked with that?
Thanks.

CF doesn't support DIME "natively", but Apache Axis does, and that's the library that CF uses. So, you'll have to drop to Java to do this.
