Webservice API support in Tomcat 5.5

Hi All
Could you please let us know if Tomcat 5.5 or Tomcat 6 supports the Webservices API set or not.
And From where I will get the API details ?
Thanks
Sam

Tomcat does not support any web service API by itself.
As the first response poster mentioned, you simply need to add in your desired web service package.
Both Axis and Axis2 are quite easy to use - but just make sure you read the documentation carefully and completely!

URL Escaping when calling Webservices API Changed?

Hello,
It seems that something has changed recently with the Adobe Connect Webservices API. In the past, when I would call 'principal-update' to create or update a user, I would sanitize all my strings using urlencode() in PHP, which takes any non-alphanumeric characters (or dashes and underscores) and "percent encodes" them. For example, a "@" character in an email address becomes "%40".
This is important especially in the case that a string contains an ampersand (&) or question mark (?) since those characters are used to pass the parameters themselves in the URL string.
This has always worked fine until I noticed a few days ago it was no longer working.
If I attempt to create a user with an email address formatted with the "%40", Connect now comes back with an error message saying it wasn't formatted properly. Removing the encoding fixes the problem.
However, this is NOT best practice. And especially for passwords, which could theoretically contain ampersands and question marks, you cannot simply pass the raw string in the URL as it will create a malformed URL.
Has anyone noticed this, and does Adobe know about it? Seems like a major problem, and means I will have to prevent users from using these special characters in their passwords until this is fixed.

Jeff,
Thanks for the posting. I suggest you should call this into Support as a bug. It's possible that they changed something that affected this without seeing the ramifications.

What easy to use (MS or third party) tool can I use to create and host a webservice API on a SQL server database

I'm looking for a (MS or third party) tool with which I can create, publish and host webservice API's on a custom SQL database. For example a API which presents all customers, or validates a user login.
I prefer a tool that can be used without .NET programming skills, just using database scripts and queries.
Could somebody suggest a tool for this?
Many thank,
Slowytech

Use Visual Studio (Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web ) and the WebAPI framework. You can easily create REST endpoints for your data. You can even
use ODATA to enable RESTful queries over your data.

How to create a user in Opensso Identity Service Webservices api?

Hi All,
I am getting struck with the creation of user in OpenSSO through the webservices api they are providing.
I used the following wsdl link to create the API's. http://localhost:8080/opensso/identityservices?WSDL
Now my requirement is, i have to create a user profile through the program which has the api create(identity,admin) created by the WSDL link.
Here identity is the com.sun.idsvcs.IdentityDetails and admin is the com.sun.idsvcs.Token. I want to append givenName,cn,sn,userPassword in that. But dont have any idea how to given these details in IdentityDetails. If anyone give any sample solution i can follow.
Any Help Greatly Appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

(Java Base API / JNI ) in tomcat

Hi All,
(this is a question I asked on the 'C-API' forum but I got no answer. I hope I'll have more success here )
I'm trying to access a database built with the C-API from a tomcat/glassfish server using the Java native API. (I need to read data produced with the C API)
I put the Environment in the application context so all user will share the same instance of the database.
first question: is it a good idea ? What would be the best practice ? can I safely use this application in a multithreaded environment ?
The problem was that the 'System.loadLibrary' method is called each time my application is re-deployed: so an exception was thrown !! (library already loaded) because the server has already loaded the db library in a previous deployment. To solve the problem I put a silent 'try... catch...' around this System.loadLibrary in the source code of com/sleepycat/db/internal/db_javaJNI.java
2nd question: is there a way to avoid this hack ?
Thank you for any answer
Pierre

The JE team does not know the answer to your question, but will see if we can find redirect it to someone who might know.

BPM 11g: JAVA API and Webservice API

Who knows BPM 11g: JAVA API and Webservice API?
Customer want to call BPM 11g between Heterogeneous systems, such .net framework. One way is use webservice API, I think, but where can find it? thank you

When you create a BPM application in 11g, you're actually creating a SOA composite application with a BPMN component in the composite. From within the BPMN editor, you can specify the interface (parameters) of each start node in the process. If you select a start node, look at the implementation tab, you'll see a properties group that lets you define the interface one property at a time, or by selecting an interface from the catalog.
By defining these properties you're also defining the shape of the Web Service interface that will automatically be created in the composite. If you switch to the composite view, you'll see your BPMN process with a wire to it from a Web Service that's generated from the interface defined in the BPMN editor. The naming convention is the BPMN process name with ".service" appended. When you deploy the BPMN process, the web service will also be deployed, since it's also part of the composite. From Enterprise Manager (EM) you can test the service and get the WSDL, which could be used by other applications (e.g. .NET) to start and interact with a process instance.
This is one of the advantages of the 11g architecture. The composite exposes services to consumers/clients. The implementation could have been BPEL, BPMN, a Mediator, Java/EJBs, or any combination working together. To the consumer, it's just a web service.
In case your next question was about security ... you won't see properties about security in the BPMN editor. You use Web Service Manager to apply security or other constraints to the web service endpoint.

XI 3.1 Webservices API: Read time out during getDocumentInformation()

Hi,
my client is moving vom BO 6.5 to BO XI 3.1. The client uses BO to create mass reports for indivual subscribers in a batch mode fashion. We are currently evaluating the Webservices API, dealing with Desktop Intelligence reports.
I have implemented a load test prototype using the Webservices API with the help of the examples found here.
Retrieving a single report works fine, but when I try to put some load on the server and request reports with several parallel threads, I get the "Read timeout error" when calling getDocumentInformation(repID, null, actions, null, boRetrieveData). The actions array just contains the FillPrompts instance.

BTW, the threads use different logins and in consequence different connections/sessions.
The timeout occurs after 30secs, so simple reports with no prompts are created without error. Increasing the timeout on the connection as suggested in other postings did not help.
I think the issue is related to Axis2. I don't know how to set the timeout on the Axis client via the BO API. Trying to recreate the client API from the WSDL did not work. Is there any example how to do this correctly? Having the source of the Axis client, one would have the chance to set the timeout on the client programmatically ...
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
con

I found a workaround for the issue by patching and compiling the Axis2 kernel library. You need to download it form Apache, install Maven 2.0.7, set the default timeout in .../client/Options.java to a value that suits your needs (for me: 20min), and compile the whole thing using mvn clean install.
But this is obviously not the solution one wants. So, is there anybody with a REAL answer to the problem?

API support for color extraction feature

Is there API support for color extraction feature? if not, is
it scheduled?

Hello, thanks for the post.
In order to provide the best user experience for color
extraction, we had to split the functionality between client-side
and server-side, so we are not able to offer an API for this
functionality at this time. We are, however, very interested in
feedback on what kinds of APIs are interesting to you and how you
are interested in using them, so folks, please let us know.
Current APIs, including the new Random theme browsing view
and to view comments to your themes, are available on the
kuler API
wiki. We've seen some really fabulous and creative use of the
kuler APIs, and we look forward to more.

      <sequence file>: sequence file to open
      <sequence>:       sequence to run
      <entry point>:    entry point, such as Single Pass or Test UUTs, to run
      <workspace file>: workspace file to open
   You may specify multiple sequence files, sequences, and entry points.
   Quotes are required for arguments that contain a space, such as
   "Test UUTs" and "C:\My Documents\Test Sequence.seq"
I don't believe you'll get a return status of the executed sequence from the editor on close; but you could design your sequence to write the status to a file and then read that by your QC application.
