Web Services and database instances

Hello,
When creating web services, you have to choose which database instance you would like to use. At our company (as I'm sure every other company) we have a test database and a production database. During creation and testing, I would select our TEST database. Great.
Now, I would like to deploy this to our production database, but this web service is hard coded to look at our test instances. I have read a few topics on this and they say to edit the data-sources.xml file at deployment, but there has to be a better way to handle this.
Any information on how to go about handling this better would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt Harris

Hello Matt,
Actually, modifiing the data-sources.xml (or any equivalent resource file) is the way to do it. You best ought to choose a database/connection neutral name as data-source name and refer to that in data-sources.xml. This file can be modified after deployment, any compiled java-classes where the data-source name is being refered to, can't.
Best regards,

Enabling Usage Rights for Web Service and Database connectivity

We are looking for code that allows us to enable web service and database connectivity rights into a form. We are using LiveCycle Forms 7.2 to render the XDP and merge data. Because we are merging data into the form, it has to be reader enabled through the code everytime it is presented to the user in our application.
usageRights[0] = com.adobe.document.pdf.DOCUMENT_SAVE.value;

Diff b/w Web service and window service

What is the difference between web service and window service, whether the both are same or not, Give some explain about that each one and give some examples also.

An XML Web service is a component that implements program
logic and provides functionality for diseparate
applications. These applications use standard protocols,
such as HTTP, XML, and SOAP, to access the functionality.
XML Web services use XML-based messaging to send and
receive data, which enables heterogeneous applications to
interoperate with each other. You can use XML Web services
to integrate applications that are written in different
programming languages and deployed on different platforms.
In addition, you can deploy XML Web services within an
intranet as well as on the Internet. While the Internet
brings users closer to organizations, XML Web services
allow organizations to integrate their applications.
A Windows service starts much before any user logs in to
the system (if it has been setup to start at boot up
process). A Windows service can also be setup in such a way
that it requires a user to start it manually ? the ultimate
customization!
Windows services run as background processes. These
applications do not have a user interface, which makes them
ideal for tasks that do not require any user interaction.
You can install a Windows service on any server or computer
that is running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows NT.
You can also specify a Windows service to run in the
security context of a specific user account that is
different from the logged on user account or the default
computer account. For example, you can create a Windows
service to monitor performance counter data and react to
threshold values in a database.

Quick questions on the topic of Web Services and EJB POJOs

I have been reading about Web Services and the data types that are aloud as operation parameters and return types. I was wondering what the standard practice for return types; is it to use the Entity classes straight and customize the WSDL instead of letting the EE container do it (avoid cyclic problems in the schema that can occur when using entity 1-to-many and many-to-1 mappings) or; is it to off load the data into a DTO/VO/Bean and let the EE container take care of all the schema mapping for the WSDL? I look at the EE tutorial and bought a EE book both use very basic examples that do not include connecting to a database or using EJB3 for the data store.
Thanks for any information

Error received when calling web service from database.

Hi folks,
I am trying to call a web service from the database (using the Oracle database web services call-out utility) and I am getting the following error:
ERROR at line 1:

This web service is deployed on Oracle app server 10.1.3.4. It calls a BPEL process which in turn calls Oracle Business Rules.
I used JPublisher to create the stubs for the web service and load them into the database.
Any ideas on what might be causing this error?
Thanks.

Well, I think so... I've followed all the steps, and my merged WSDL file seems like the one in page 12...
Any suggestion, please?

not being able to understand where i made the mistake. mistake is in the code of web service end or in calling code?
help me to fix this issue. thanks

Hi Mou,
I just tried your win app code about calling web service, but failed. I got the 500 error after I called your service:
The error message I quoted from Fiddler:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode><faultstring>System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Failed : Invalid credentials ---> System.Exception: Invalid credentials

I am not totally sure that error occurred by the authentication. But I suggest you can try to add this service into your project using this method below:
1.right click the Reference and select Add Service Reference
2.input your service link and click "Go"
And you can use this service as the following:
private async void callService()
ServiceReference1.SearchDataIndexSoapClient client =new ServiceReference1.SearchDataIndexSoapClient();
var Str= await client.StartIndexAsync(new ServiceReference1.AuthHeader { Username = "Admin", Password = "Admin" });
Please try it.

SQL Server 2008 Reporting Project - Invoke/Consume Web Service and Return Dataset in C# Code-Behind

Hello,
I have a Visual Studio 2010 C# class with a method that invokes/consumes a web service and returns an XML dataset. I am traversing through the parent/child nodes and parsing out the data then inserting it into a SQL Server 2008 R2 table for a join within
another stored procedure.
Instead of using a 3rd party API to generate the PDF for this data, I am creating an SSRS report. The formatting will be easier and I can do a RenderFormat directly to PDF.
Can I expect to be able to transfer the code-behind method to this report and have it be able to work with the web service the same way? It is a SOAP-based web service returning parent nodes and two levels of nested child nodes.
I have also been researching the approach of calling the web service in the same stored procedure that is currently querying the physical tables (which is used to populate a gridview and PDF) but it looks like it may only be possible with a CLR stored procedure.
Is it possible to implement a CLR stored procedure within an SSRS report?
Hope this makes sense. Any help, suggestion or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Buster

Hi Buster,
SSRS supports web service data source, we can call the SOAP-based web service in SSRS report directly. Then, we can use custom code in SSRS to parse the XML data. However, we won’t be able to join another data in SQL Server database.
Reference:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964129(v=sql.90).aspx#repservxmlds_topic3
We cannot implement a CLR stored procedure within an SSRS report directly. In order to execute the CLR store procedure in a SSRS report, we have to execute it as text using the following code:
Exec <stored procedure name>
Reference:
http://dotnetslackers.com/Community/blogs/bmains/archive/2009/01/15/executing-a-clr-stored-procedure-in-reporting-services.aspx
Hope this helps.

Web services and control characters

Hi,
We are using JAXWS and JAXB to create web services. We have a problem with our current data because it sometimes contains "bad" characters, such as control characters. Is there a nice way for us to remove these characters when creating the messages or when retrieving the data from the database? We use java persistence / hibernate to retrieve the data from the database.
I would prefer a method that doesn't include having to "clean" each string manually...
Thanks!

hi, i�m doing something like you but in jbuilder that is another IDE, i don�t know if it is useful for you but i entered to the help of jbuilder and i wrote in the index "web services" and then i found a topic called : "export classes as webservices" and in that place i can see some steps to follow, may be in eclipse you can find something like this.

Java app with web service and servlets

Hi. I intend to make a java application which exposes some methods as a web service and as jsp/servlets. It's core functionality is not really web centric, but its more a java app with a web tier. I am not sure about how the architecture of such a system would look like using the java platform. I currently see three options:
1. Run everything in a servlet container like tomcat. I hesitate to do this because i would be putting a lot of functionality which isn't about the web into a servlet container. Also, I have a lot of application scope data that is maintained and shared by all servlets/web services. However, it would be really easy just to put everything into tomcat and use ServletContext to maintain some global objects.
2. Use a Java EE to seperate application/business logic and data access into session beans and entity beans. I hesitate to this because it seem a bit overkill because the system isn't very big or complex right now. It also means that I would have to learn to use EJB's instead of just using some POJOs.
3. Run the web tier in a servlet container and the main app in a separate JVM, and then connect the tier by sending serialized objects over TCP sockets. I don't like writing network code but at least there is some separation of the tiers.
What would you do? Maybe I have overlooked a much better solution to the problem?
Let me just say that the system is the product of a student project spanning one semester, so it's important to choose the RIGHT solution (architectural-wise) instead of the something quick and dirty that is hard to defend.

jschell wrote:

Let me just say that the system is the product of a student project spanning one semester, so it's important to choose the RIGHT solution (architectural-wise) That pretty much makes it impossible then.
1. A "Right" solution is generally only proven by time.
2. It requires a great deal of knowledge about the business domain.Yeah, you are right. Let be try to rephrase it. What solution (pattern) would be considered the most common or appropriate when you have a Java App and want to expose a few methods as a website and web service?
I hesitate to do this because i would be putting a lot of functionality which isn't about the web into a servlet container. Also, I have a lot of application scope data that is maintained and shared by all servlets/web servicesHuh? Do you already have an exposed web service? If you already have a server which other clients communicate then where does this functionality that you don't want to be tomcat running now? Or where do you think that you want to run it? And if you are or do run it somewhere else then tomcat could access it the same way any other client accesses that server.Sorry, that sentence was written badly. I don't have anything right now. What I meant to write was that I will have a lot of application scope data, objects that are kept in memory as long as the server is running, shared by multiple servlet instances.

Web Services with database backend problem

Hi im new to webservices and having problems implementing a project that i am working on.
What i would like to do is have a webservice that recieves information from the client to input into a database using jdbc.
Following the tutorials and using netbeans 6 to create the webservice itself i can manage to pass the parameter to the webservice itself.
However i encounter a problem, normally i would seperate all the logic into seperate classes, one to handle the database connection, another for query execution etc...
Is there a way to do this for webservices? reference a normal class or does all the code have to be in the webservice and nested classes?
Atm what i have is a web application project in netbeans 6 with a custom created webservice that i get the parameters from a working client. im just a little unsure on how to proceed at the moment any help would be greatly appreciated.

Of course you can have separate classes. All you need is to make sure they are visible from the class implementing the Web Service. That means either creating them in the same package or importing the package.
You probably need more than one projects. One for the web service and one for the (web) client.

Web Services using Database

Hi,
I want to write a webservice which tries to connect to the database and gets data from a table. can anyone provide a link/article regarding this
Thanks in advance.

The Java example given (using JDeveloper) is good. But, it does not show the return of a value to point where it was invoked. What is does is to take you to an endpoint screen, where you can test the web service (and thats all). You can not return the value that is produced back to the place where the web service was invoked. I would hope that Oracle would provide a better example in this case.

Can someone help me?

It appears that %ROWTPYE is not supported directly, and that we need to create a TYPE to wrap the return data
