Web services and forms

Question

I´m very new at this... I want to use a web service in an Oracle Forms9i application, I have created a stub in JDeveloper, added path to CLASSPATH and used the Java Importer in Forms to create a PL/SQL package. So far so good. Now to my problem, I dont understand how to use the PL/SQL package... The web service I want to use is http://webservices.scandinavian.net/flightstatus/FlightService.asmx?WSDL, it is a web service that returns information about flights.
So is there anyone who knows how to use this web service?
The PL/SQL code that was generated looks like this:
PACKAGE FlightServiceStub /* SAS.FlightServiceStub */ IS
-- DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated!
-- Constructor for signature ()V
FUNCTION new RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
-- Method: GetFlightStatus (Lorg/w3c/dom/Element;)Ljava/util/Vector;
FUNCTION GetFlightStatus(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT) RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
END;
PACKAGE BODY FlightServiceStub IS
-- DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated!
cls ORA_JAVA.JCLASS;
fid ORA_JAVA.JFIELD;
mid ORA_JAVA.JMETHOD;
args JNI.ARGLIST;
-- Constructor for signature ()V
FUNCTION new RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT IS
BEGIN
cls := JNI.GET_CLASS('SAS/FlightServiceStub');
mid := JNI.GET_METHOD(FALSE, cls, '<init>', '()V');
args := NULL;
RETURN (JNI.NEW_OBJECT(cls, mid, args));
END;
-- Method: GetFlightStatus (Lorg/w3c/dom/Element;)Ljava/util/Vector;
FUNCTION GetFlightStatus(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT) RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT IS
BEGIN
cls := JNI.GET_CLASS('SAS/FlightServiceStub');
mid := JNI.GET_METHOD(FALSE, cls, 'GetFlightStatus', '(Lorg/w3c/dom/Element;)Ljava/util/Vector;');
args := JNI.CREATE_ARG_LIST(1);
JNI.ADD_OBJECT_ARG(args, a0, JNI.GET_CLASS('org/w3c/dom/Element'));
RETURN JNI.CALL_OBJECT_METHOD(obj, mid, args);
END;
BEGIN
cls := JNI.GET_CLASS('SAS/FlightServiceStub');
END;

Hi Rajesh,
The WSDL you have mentioned in your original email is not available; getting back some .NET error page:
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed
If you can use our latest Developer Preview drop (DP4), take a look at the How-To documents [1] - How-To Develop a Web Service From a WSDL Document should help you.
You can also take a look at the genProxy command, in chapter 16 of the User Guide [2]. Chapter 13 is also a good place to get started.
Hope this helps,
Eric
