Web Services with PL/SQL -- Where to get files

The document on how to make web services for PL/SQL stored procedures references serice-config.xml and client-config.xml, but neither of these files are in the links references by the document.
Where do I find those files?
James

The service-config.xml and client-config.xml are config files used by the Webservices assembler, which generates webservices from PL/SQL. JPublisher is used under the hood.
However, the 10.1.3 assembler may run without service-config.xml and client-config.xml. If you can run the build.xml file for the demo, then you are fine.

Any help would be greatly received

I had the same problem this morning. You need to add a line to the HTTP header to declare a value for SOAPAction.
You can set this as an empty string, but for some reason it is required.
Try adding this among your header declarations:
utl_http.set_header(req, 'SOAPAction', '');

How to invoke a Web Service from PL/SQL with Complex Type as input.

Hello,
I am trying to invoke a web service from PL/SQL using the UTL_DBWS package.
The web service expects a complex type as input (defined below):
<xs:complexType name="MsgType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="sender" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="messageId" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="messageType" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="dateSent" type="xs:date"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
How to construct input to this in PL/SQL Procedure?
Has any body tried this before?
An exmaple will be helpful.
Thanks

Creating Web service for PL/SQL Procedure with Complex Data Types

I need to created web service for PL/SQL Procedure with Complex Data types like table of records as parameters, how do we map the pl/sql table type parameters with web service, how to go about these?

Hello,
When you are creating a service from a Stored Procedure, the OracleAS WS tools will create necessary Java and PL wrapper code to handle the complex types (table of record) properly and make them compatible with XML format for SOAP messages.
So what you should do is to use JDeveloper or WSA command line, to create a service from your store procedure and you will see that most of the work will be done for you.
You can find more information in the:
- Developing Web Services that Expose Database Resources
chapter of the Web Service Developer's guide.

New to Web Services - need to call a HTTPS web service from PL/SQL

I am new to Web Services and need to call HTTPS web service from PL/SQL program. I am using 10g Database.
I have been reading there are 2 options -
1. UTL_HTTP - with this package its possible to call HTTPS web services
2. UTL_DBWS
Questions -
1. Is it possible to call a HTTPS web service using UTL_DBWS ? I have not been able to find any information on it.
2. Can someone point me to UTL_HTTP and UTL_DBWS examples calling a HTTPS web service ?
3. The HTTPS web service that I need to call needs username/password to connect - how will I incorporate this in the pl/sql code ?
Appreciate the help.
Cheers,
newWebServicesUser

Hi,
1. UTL_DBWS not work for https from what I understand
2. Here is a sample example:
[http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/ConsumingWebServices9i.php#]
Be careful, you must change http/1.0 IN 1.1 inside package SOAP_API.
Here is an example for a prime number where the SOAP message is already construct:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure test_ws_2
IS
http_req utl_http.req;
http_resp utl_http.resp;
request_env varchar2(32767);
response_env varchar2(32767);
begin
-- Set proxy details if no direct net connection.
UTL_HTTP.set_proxy('http://<USER>:<PASS>@10.0.2.21:8070', NULL);
UTL_HTTP.set_persistent_conn_support(TRUE);

'<max xsi:type="xsd:int">10</max>'||
'</GetPrimeNumbers></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>';
dbms_output.put_line('Length of Request:' || length(request_env));
dbms_output.put_line ('Request: ' || request_env);
http_req := utl_http.begin_request('http://www50.brinkster.com/vbfacileinpt/np.asmx','POST', utl_http.HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'Content-Type', 'text/xml; charset=utf-8');
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'Content-Length', length(request_env));
utl_http.set_header(http_req, 'SOAPAction', '"http://microsoft.com/webservices/GetPrimeNumbers"');
utl_http.write_text(http_req, request_env);
dbms_output.put_line('');
http_resp := utl_http.get_response(http_req);
dbms_output.put_line('Response Received');
dbms_output.put_line('--------------------------');
dbms_output.put_line ( 'Status code: ' || http_resp.status_code );
dbms_output.put_line ( 'Reason phrase: ' || http_resp.reason_phrase );
utl_http.read_text(http_resp, response_env);
dbms_output.put_line('Response: ');
dbms_output.put_line(response_env);
utl_http.end_response(http_resp);
end test_ws_2;
Otherwice for testing url, i recommand you to use that function: Re: Error using UTL_HTTP over HTTPS
it's a verry helpful function when you have an error.
wrote:
When testing using UTL_HTTP, you MUST ensure that you open a new session after importing the SSL certificates into your Wallet,
as I've learned (the hard way) that existing sessions point to the wallet contents that were present when the session was opened.
If you don't realise/know this, it can cause a lot of additional frustration during testing, when you keep getting the ORA-29024 exception AFTER
you've imported the SSL certificates................. ;) 3. i think you can use that after the begin_request but not sure :
UTL_HTTP.set_authentication(r => http_req,
username => ,
password => ,
scheme => ,
for_proxy => );

Calling Reporting Services Web Service with jQuery possible?

Hi,
is it possible to call the Reporting Services Web Service with jQuery? If yes, can someone post me a small example?
Background:
My plan is to create a html with a form which is also uploaded then into the reportserver. I open this html later by clicking a link in a report (with gotoURL open.window). The report opens the html inclusive the overtaken of some additional parameters
(reportname, reportdescription). These parameters I will use in the html-form as defaultvalues for the corresponding input-text-fields. Now the user can make some changes (i.e. the decription). With a click on a button I will send the new description to
the Reporting Services Web Service by using the SetProperties method, closing the html-window and reload the report. Important is that I want to upload the html also into the reportserver itself.
I have already found how to consume a web service via jQuery but with the Reporting Services Web Service I did not get it running in my tests.
I have referenced to the following jQuery.js: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js
Here you can see my tests I made with the results:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://<..>/ReportServer/ReportService2010.asmx/ListChildren',
data: {'ItemPath':'/','Recursive':false},
complete: function(xData, status) {
$('p').html($(xData.responseXML).text()); // result
$("#divStatus").text( status ); // status }
I got a NULL response with Status success. But where are the items?
Another test which should response only one value was that:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "text/xml; charset=utf-8",
url: "http://<..>/ReportServer/ReportService2010.asmx/GetItemType",
data: {"Item":"/Development"}, // Development is a Folder in my Reportserver-Root
dataType: "xml",
success: function (msg) {
$("#divResult").html(msg.responseXML);
error: function (data, status, error) {
$("#divResult").html("WebSerivce unreachable<br> <br>" + data.responseXML + "<br> <br>(" + error + ")");
Here I got an [object Error]
And here my last test:
var soapMessage = '<?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>\
<GetItemType xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/sql/ReportingServer">\
<ItemPath>/Development</ItemPath>\
</GetItemType>\
</soap:Body>\
</soap:Envelope>';
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
contentType: "text/xml; charset=utf-8",
url: http://<..>/ReportServer/ReportService2010.asmx?wsdl,
data: soapMessage,
dataType: "xml",
success: processSuccess,
error: processError
function processSuccess(data, status, req) {
if (status == "success")
$("#response").text($(req.responseXML).find("Type").text());
function processError(data, status, req) {
alert(req.responseText + " " + status);
Here I got an "Undefined error"
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Accessing external web service with non-constant URL

Hello, all
I am looking in the documentation on accessing external web services, but either I am looking in the wrong place, or the documentatoin is lacking info.
My clients have several web services in the local network (regular services, not DB-based), the have the same interface, but different URL's.
Versions of the DB are 11, 12, and 16.
First of all, I do not see in the specs an option for a non-hardcoded URL. The logic says that this has to be possible, but I cannot find it.
Second, I need to see an example of accessing an XML or JSon based service, I cannot find it in the specs either.
Can anyone point me to a document with examples?
Thank you
Arcady

The following will call a web service with whatever URL you pass in as the argument "myurl". I think that is what you are looking for.
CREATE PROCEDURE cli_test2( myurl LONG VARCHAR )
RESULT( httpheaders long varchar, httpvalues long varchars
URL '!myurl'
To deal with the resulting data in XML, use the OPENXML() function.
eg. To turn an XML list of employees that looks like this:
<root>
<row EmployeeID="102" Surname="Whitney" GivenName="Fran" StartDate="1984-08-28"/>
</root>
into a table of results, you would do this (where xmlgetemplist() is the web service call):
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE xmlgetemplist() RESULT( httpheader long varchar, httpbody long varchar)
URL 'http://localhost/demo/xmlEmployeeList'
TYPE 'HTTP:GET';
create variable res long varchar;
-- call the web service
select httpbody into res from xmlgetemplist() where httpheader = 'Body'
-- extract the XML elements into a SQL result set
select * from openXML( res, '/root/row' ) WITH ( EmployeeID INT '@EmployeeID',
       GivenName    CHAR(20) '@GivenName',
       Surname      CHAR(20) '@Surname',
       PhoneNumber CHAR(10) '@Phone');
To deal with the resulting data in JSON, use the sp_parse_json() procedure.
eg.
To turn a JSON formatted list of employees that looks like this:
"EmployeeID": 102,
"Surname": "Whitney",
"GivenName": "Fran",
"StartDate": "1984-08-28",
"TerminationDate": null
into a table of results, you would do this (where jsongetemplist() is the web service call):
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE jsongetemplist() RESULT( httpheader long varchar, httpbody long varchar)
URL 'http://localhost/demo/jsonEmployeeList'
TYPE 'HTTP:GET';
create variable foo long varchar;
--call the webservice
select httpbody into foo from jsongetemplist() where httpheader = 'Body';
--turn the json result into a structured array of data
-- this step is required because of less structured nature of JSON
call sp_parse_json( 'output_array', foo);
--extract the JSON elements from the output array into a SQL result set
SELECT output_array[[row_num]].EmployeeID as EmployeeID,
               output_array[[row_num]].SurName as SurName,
               output_array[[row_num]].GivenName as GivenName,
               output_array[[row_num]].StartDate as StartDate,
               output_array[[row_num]].TerminationDate as EndDate
FROM sa_rowgenerator(1, CARDINALITY(output_array))

Calling web services from PL/SQL

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to call a web services from PL/SQL.
I believe we have a PL/SQL API that allows you to consume external web services.
I was looking for other possible options too to consume web Service from PL/SQL.
Can any one suggest the other possible options , and which option is best to consume web service.
Thanks

AB,
I didn't realize you cannot attach documents to your post. You will have to provide me with an email address that I can send the documents to. They are a little rough (ie not commented etc) but they do illustrate the point. The basic idea is to build up the payload of the soap envelope using pl/sql. Meaning as I loop through the cursor I use each record in the cursor to build an xml string. This string of xml becomes the payload of the soap message. This could also be done using xml functionality provided by the db meaning xmlelement, xmlforest etc. The issue I ran into was the size of the message. That is why I elected to build the xml message by string concatenation as I moved through the cursor.

Calling SharePoint Web Services from PL/SQL

We are trying to call SharePoint Web Services with UTL_DBWS or UTL_HTTP. We are able to call some test web services, but when it comes to using SharePoint services, we keep getting 401 errors..even when we use set_authorization.
Has anyone been able to use UTL_DBWS or UTL_HTTP to call SharePoint web services? If so, can you point us in the right direction?
Thanks

Comments -
The web service operation only has input message. The input message consists of a complex type as seen in WSDL.
Questions -
1. This is my first attempt in invoking a web service from pl/sql program. Is the code in SOAP body correct as mapped to the complex type in WSDL ?
2. As seen from the dbms_out - the last message before ORA-12560 is 5.5, that means the call is erroring at following code line -
http_req:= utl_http.begin_request ------ what am I doing wrong here ?
3. The web service is SSL as seen from WSDLand needs a username/password for access - which is being performed by following code line -
utl_http.set_authentication(http_req, '<username for webservice>', '<password for webservice user>'); ------- is that correct ?
4. I am not using any proxy server - should I be using it ? When is it necessary to use proxy ?
Appreciate any help.
Thanx.

Oracle is hosted by HOST A - this is where the pl/sql program resides.
The Web Service being accessed by pl/sql program is hosted by HOST B and there are 4 firewalls in between.
Oracle was not even able to establish connection to web services host.
Escalated the issue with networking folks and they resolved the connectivity problem.
Hope that helps.

How to create web services with complex objects as parameters

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place, but...
I'm using Netbeans 5.5 and trying to learn web services.
Creating a simple web service with simple parameters like strings and integers is nice and easy. I'm now trying to take the next step, and create a web service with a more complex schema as a parameter.
I've tried two approaches, and hit dead ends on both:
(1) Define my complex schema as an xsd file, and then create a WSDL file. Creating the schema and saving it in my EFB project works fine; when I try to create a new WSDL file, the IDE gives me a button to import external schemas - which is where the problem is: the Browse simply won't find my newly created schema file.
(2) Define a Java class (in this case, it's a fairly simple example containing a single ArrayList), and then use the IDE to generate a web service from Java. The IDE does this fine, but I now have no idea how to consume or test the web service - I don't know where to look for the WSDL that has presumably been generated, and I'm also a bit iffy over what answers to give the WSDL creator about port names etc.
Ideally, I'd prefer to get approach 1 to work - can someone point me in the direction of a sensible tutorial for these things?
(Happy to carry on using Netbeans 5.5 or to revert to Sun Studio Enterprise, which I was playing with before.)
All help appreciated, Thanks

SR: Calling Web Services from PL/SQL gives http 500 errors

Hi, people from Oracle Support sent me to this forum.
I'm trying to call the Calendar Web Services from PL/SQL using the utl_http package, but I'm getting http-500 errors.
I'm using the example from http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/webservices/htdocs/samples/dbwebservice/DBWebServices_PLSQL.html
Here's the code
procedure showHtml
as
req soap_rpc.request;
resp soap_rpc.response;
BEGIN
req := soap_rpc.new_request('cwsl:NoOp',
'xmlns:cwsl="http://www.oracle.com/WebServices/Calendaring/1.0/"');
resp := soap_rpc.invoke(req,
'http://nllx004.nl.oracle.com/ocws-bin/ocas.fcgi',
dbms_output.put_line(resp.doc.getStringVal());
END;
Can anyone help?

I am new to web services and am having trouble getting the utl_http.set_header call to work using pl/sql. listed below is the code.

Web service with complex java type

Hi,
I create a web service method with String o with Array of Strings without problem. Now I nedd to create a ws that return a table, so I create a class like this:
public class User {
     private String Name;
     private String.Surname;
     public void setName(String setName){
          Name= setName;
     public void setSurname(String setSurname){
          Surname=setSurname;
In my ws class I use this object:
public User[] getUser(String a){
          User[] user = new User[10];
          for (int i=0;i<10;i++){
               User<i>.setName("aaa");
               User<i>.setSurname("bbb");
          return user;
When in WebService Perspective I try to create my ws in wizard mode I see method getUser but I can't check it
Where is error?
Thanks
Andrea

HI Andrea,
    I think with present netweaver developer studio , we can create Web services with end points as simple data types in java and the array of that simple data types.
    not sure whether it support our own custom developed classes as end points.
     just go through these links.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/f7/af60f2e04d0848888675a800623a81/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/f7/af60f2e04d0848888675a800623a81/frameset.htm
from this we will get Restrictions for WS Endpoints.

REST web service using PL/SQL

Hello,
I am trying to learn how a REST web service can be created using PL/SQL and how it can be used.
I am using this as a starting point.
Also, I am using the pre-build "Oracle Developer Days" setup for this (which means I have 11.2 version of oracle database installed).
I have done all the steps mentioned in the above blog post but when I try to access the web service in browser, I get the
"404 Not found - The requested URL /devtest/rest-demo/departments was not found on this server" message.
Here is my DAD setup :
SQL> declare
l_name dbms_epg.varchar2_table;
l_value dbms_epg.varchar2_table;
begin
DBMS_EPG.GET_ALL_DAD_ATTRIBUTES (dad_name => 'devtest', attr_names => l_name, attr_values => l_value);
for i in l_name.first..l_name.last
loop
    dbms_output.put_line(l_name(i)||' => '||l_value(i));
end loop;
end;
2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9   10   11 database-username => HR1
path-alias => rest-demo
path-alias-procedure => rest_handler.handle_requestI have created the package and procedures as mentioned in that blog post
SQL> desc hr1.rest_handler
PROCEDURE HANDLE_REQUEST
Argument Name                  Type                    In/Out Default?
P_PATH                         VARCHAR2                INHave I missed something ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Probably an security issue, I guess. The article (http://ora-00001.blogspot.com/2009/07/creating-rest-web-service-with-plsql.html) mentioned is a very good one (if not only I like what the site has become in recent years - much good tips and articles). As an alternative for your problems, have a look at the explaination of how Tim Hall has done it...
