Calling web service from oracle forms fails with ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR

Problem Description:
I'm following the steps as per the doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gr2/howto/webservicefromforms/ws_10_1_3_from_forms.html
to create a java stub to call external web service and then use java importer in oracle forms to call this web service from oracle forms.
WSDL for external web service used is http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConverter.asmx?wsdl
Calling the web service using JDeveloper works fine but from Oracle Forms returns ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR; Unable to call out to Java, Invalid object type for argument 1
The code from oracle form to call web service is as below:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
rv ora_java.jobject;
ex ora_java.jobject;
outString varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
jo:= CurrencyConvertorStub.new;
--This will get the exchange rate from US Dollars to UK Sterling.
rv:= CurrencyConvertorStub.ConversionRate(jo,'CAD','USD');
message (float_.floatValue(RV));
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
outString := Exception_.toString(ex);
message(outString);
END;
Any help/ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, it is the message line - so basically this call fails => rv:= CurrencyConvertorStub.ConversionRate(jo,'CAD','USD'); and control goes in the exception block
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
Below is the code from java stub that was generated using JDeveloper by using web services stub/skeleton and associating the WSDL
public Double ConversionRate(String FromCurrency, String ToCurrency) throws Exception
URL endpointURL = new URL(endpoint);
Envelope requestEnv = new Envelope();
Body requestBody = new Body();
Vector requestBodyEntries = new Vector();
String wrappingName = "ConversionRate";
String targetNamespace = "http://www.webserviceX.NET/";
Vector requestData = new Vector();
requestData.add(new Object[] {"FromCurrency", FromCurrency});
requestData.add(new Object[] {"ToCurrency", ToCurrency});
requestBodyEntries.addElement(toElement(wrappingName, targetNamespace, requestData));
requestBody.setBodyEntries(requestBodyEntries);
requestEnv.setBody(requestBody);
Message msg = new Message();
msg.setSOAPTransport(m_httpConnection);
msg.send(endpointURL, "http://www.webserviceX.NET/ConversionRate", requestEnv);
Envelope responseEnv = msg.receiveEnvelope();
Body responseBody = responseEnv.getBody();
Vector responseData = responseBody.getBodyEntries();
return (Double)fromElement((Element)responseData.elementAt(0), java.lang.Double.class);

My primary skill is PL/SQL but the only information I found on Oracle's site to call a web service from a 10g Form was creating a jar file and importing the java class. Since I don't want to ask our corporate IT to make changes on the UNIX box for the jar files I went a different route.
I use UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST to call a URL then load I load the data to a table as a CLOB since we have more than 4000 characters. Now I need to parse the XML and load it into a form. I have never done this so if there is a helpful site please let me know. I have looked at several sites but none do what I want.
Thanks

Call a web services from oracle forms 10

I have to call a web services from oracle forms.
The version of the database is oracle 11gr2. the version of the forms is 10.1.2.0.2.
I allready did the proxy creation and the import class within forms.
I have 2 questions:
1.
I created the following procedure:
PROCEDURE call_WS IS
vobject1 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
vobject2 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
BEGIN
vobject1 := WSEvaluarReglaCondicionComerci.new();
vobject2 := WSEvaluarReglaCondicionComerci.listarValoresAtributoEvento(vobject1, 702, 2217, null, null, null);
END;
the function I calling:
FUNCTION listarValoresAtributoEvento(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a1 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a2 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a3 VARCHAR2,
a4 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT) RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
Note that the parameters is ORA_JAVA_JOBJECT and I need to send numbers. I understand that when I import the classes, because in the WS those parameters are defined as BigDecimal, Forms understand them as java object but when I compile it reports the error: "numero o tipo de argumento erroneo al llamar..." type error.
So the question is, how Cast the numbers to Java Object to send them.
I have read in a web page that one option is to change in the web service the type of the parameters but that is not an option.
2.
The WS returns a super big XML as answer, so how I can parse the result into an Object type?...
The object structure is:
TYPE opciones_obj AS OBJECT
(strindice VARCHAR2 (4000),
nombrecompleto VARCHAR2 (4000),
nombre VARCHAR2 (4000),
strtipodato VARCHAR2 (4000),
codigoopcion NUMBER,
floatval FLOAT,
strtipo VARCHAR2 (4000),
strval VARCHAR2 (4000));
and the tags to extract is:
COLUMNS strindice VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strIndice"]/ns2:value',
nombrecompleto VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="nombreCompleto"]/ns2:value',
nombre VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="nombre"]/ns2:value',
strtipodato VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strTipoDato"]/ns2:value',
codigoopcion NUMBER
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="codigoOpcion"]/ns2:value',
floatval FLOAT
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="floatVal"]/ns2:value',
strtipo VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strTipo"]/ns2:value',
strval VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strVal"]/ns2:value') x;
xquery / xmltype aparently is not an option because the xml is too big.
I will appreciate your answers.
Thanks.

Need idea : Integration of CRM On Demand web services with Oracle SOA 10g

Hi Al,
Can anyone have any idea on integration of CRM on Demand Web service with Oracle SOA 10g specially BPEL 10g.
If you have any idea please share with us. Or if you know any good link on the same... please let me know.....
Thanks in advance

AFAIK there is no such mapping available, however you may want to take a look at this Support Community thread that discusses the migration and even gives some samples.

Exception when calling web service from Oracle forms 10g

Hi All,
I am trying to integrate Oracle Forms 10g(V 10.1.2.0.2.) with Web Services.
There is a java class named 'authenticate' which is generated using Oracle JDeveloper.
This class is included in the forms application by using "Import Java Class" feature.
Forms built the following funtion based on that class:
-- Method: authenticate (Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
FUNCTION authenticate(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 VARCHAR2,
a1 VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
BEGIN
args := JNI.CREATE_ARG_LIST(2);
JNI.ADD_STRING_ARG(args, a0);
JNI.ADD_STRING_ARG(args, a1);
message('here1');
RETURN JNI.CALL_STRING_METHOD(FALSE, obj, 'mypackage/AuthenticatorWebServiceServiceStub',
'authenticate', '(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;', args);
message('here2');
END;
However when the above code is invoked it shows the message 'here1' on the form and then throws the following exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.ClassCastException
Please suggest me what's wrong with the code. I appreciate your time and help.
Thanks,
Scott.

My primary skill is PL/SQL but the only information I found on Oracle's site to call a web service from a 10g Form was creating a jar file and importing the java class. Since I don't want to ask our corporate IT to make changes on the UNIX box for the jar files I went a different route.

Calling a web service in Oracle forms

Hi,
I find problems when trying to use a web service in the oracle forms. The problem is in the "select ...". the error shows that the type must be an sql authorised type. can somebody help me? this is the source of my program:
declare
lespays ORA_JAVA.JARRAY;
longueur number;
i number;
monpays ora_java.jobject;
begin
lespays:=getpays;
monpays:=ora_java.get_object_array_element(lespays,0);
select p.nom_pays from pays p,(select tpaysuser.getcodepays(monpays) as code_pays from dual) gp where p.code_pays=gp.code_pays;
end;

ok, so you have at least 2 solutions:
1. you get the data into a loop through your Java array.
2. you use the EXEC_SQL package function to create a dynamic SQL cursor
Select ... from the_table where code in ('c1', ..., 'cn')Francois

Calling a Web service from Oracle Forms....

Hi ,
I 've tried to follow the steps described in the link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_10g/deploy/callws_fromforms/forms_webservice.htm
which uses : a)JDeveloper 9.04 and b)Oracle Forms 9.0.4.
However , i have installed Oracle Forms 10.1.2 and JDeveloper 10.1.2. (Developer Suite 10.1.2.).
The problem is that in JDeveloper 10.1.2. the type of applications and menus and properties and.... have changed and i cannot finish the tutorial!!!!!
Is there any document/example showing how to create a web service in JDeveloper and call it form Oracle Forms....?????
NOTE: I have also installed JDeveloper 10.1.3...
Many thanks ,
Simon

Check the JDeveloper tutorials page on OTN (linked from the JDeveloper home page) and you'll find a tutorial on creating a web service.
The steps to invoke it from Forms should be the same.
googling on Oracle Forms web services will bring a few more samples.

Digital Certificates and Web Services with Oracle APEX

Hi people,
I am working to implement Web Service communication using Oracle Apex. I need to create an application that calls an external public Web Service in Apex. So far, so good, and i am able to work with a public WS without any problems.
However, this particular WS I'm calling has two peculiarities:
1) It is SSL-Secured (HTTPS). This means i have to communicate using SSL and Public/Private Certificates.
2) The message i pass (payload) must be digitally signed using XMLDsig Standard (www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/)
The first requirement i am still testing, but it will probably work if i import the public and private keys using Oracle Wallet and point to this Wallet, just as PayPal sample in OTN samples does, don't you think? Should i have any problems with this?
The second one is more complicated, all APIs i have seen for XML Digital Signing are Java-based or .NET-based, i have found nothing based in PL/SQL packages or such. Can you point me some other options to sign this XML?
Please bear in mind that, since the WS has more than one method, i am using plain old UTL_HTTP to call it (just like the PayPal sample in OTN). PayPal requests that all communication be SSL-enabled, but has no mention whatsoever for Digital Signatures.
Can anybody help me out with this? any help is highly appreciated.
Regards
Thiago

Thiago:
You are correct in that there should be no problem interacting with a Web service that has an HTTPS endpoint as long as you create a wallet and specify it when you make your UTL_HTTP calls, like the PayPal example.
I am not aware of a PL/SQL utility to create a XMLDsig Standard message, but if you find some Java source out there that does it, you may be able to follow a technique I used for a similar use case:

Database Web Services with Oracle 10g

Forgive my lack of knowledge on this issue, but we are still researching our options and we have very little experience with these new technologies.
We have been using Oracle Database server for years and we are looking now into integrating or applications to offer farther solutions to our customer as well as to implement a b2b solution.
Our b2b solution consist of a relationship between Partners of our customer via a hub server that would reside on our quarters. In other words our customers servers would communicate with their partners via our server and vice versa.
We are planning to use Fusion to implement our Hub server and my question is:
"Should we deploy A J2EE container to our customer where 'client services' would run to maintain a runtime communication with our hub or can we skip the J2EE container by using Database Web Services?"
And a related question:
"What Oracle components are required for Database Web Services to work? How are they implemented?"
Thank you!

After farther reading about Database Web Services, it seems that you still need at least OC4J on the customer side to run Database Web Services. Is that correct?
So if the best approach is to deploy OC4J to our customers, how difficult is to do so and how can I configure each one of my customers so my hub server can uniquely identify each one of them?

RE: Calling a Web service from Oracle Forms 11g

I wonder if anyone could please help with the following
We have a requirement for a real time communication between Oracles Forms (11g) and SAP over the RR LAN network.
This would require the need to send info to and receive info from SAP as it will be an on-line validation of a Part from an Oracle FORM to SAP (response less than 1 second).
What would be the best and easiest way to code this an Oracle FORMS trigger.
Thanks very much

Calling web service in Oracle Applications using Forms....

Can I call a web service in Oracle Appications 11.5.10?
I created a simple form on my local machine and invoked the webservice in that form and it works perfectly. I used Oracle forms 9i and 6i for this purpose and both are working perfectly.
But when I created the same form on the UNIX server and imported the Java Class and placed that form in Oracle Applications and tried to invoke the web service it is not working.
I am using Forms 6i for creating the form in Oracle Applications.
Are there any other factors that I am neglecting?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.........

Hi,
could you please explain here the detailed steps (with code example if it's possible) to invoke a webservice from Oracle Applications?.. how did yo do it...?
I've read differents posts here and the 33097.1 metalink note (by the way, the first recommended link in this note is broken...), but there are lots of theorical concepts and no real examples to see how/from where invoke the WS
I'll have to call one webservice (I suppose the customer will give me the interface implementation)...but I've never did it with Applications so that's why I ask you for all the detailed steps...
I work with Forms 6i, Apps 11.5.10.2 and DB 9.2.0.7.
Thanks a lot.
Jose.

Installing Forms&Report Services with Oracle Application Server 10g Rel 3

Can I Install Forms & Report Services with Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 some how?
I am thinking of installing Forms & Reports Services in separate home with Oracle Application Server 10g Rel 3.
Does any body has any different idea so that they both can run more smoothly together.
Thanks

They WILL NOT RUN TOGETHER. We have discussed this many times before. They must be in separate homes.
