Webservices APIs and approaches options

Hi all,
I am in 3 weeks "trip" trying to access( via ssl) a simple webservice thats return a string and do not receive any parameters.
I would like to understand what apis ( and to do what) are available in the webservices world .
I am trying to use AXIS2, but it is not clear for me if it is really for production. And the number of unanwsered messages in the users list do not motive a lot.
I would like to know all available options.
If you can send to me links, tutorials.. examples.. so... anything to clarify ...
thanks a lot

Try using JAX-WS http://jax-ws.dev.java.net. Make sure to reference the forum: http://forums.java.net/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=46. and look for threads on how to do an ssl request.

  • Invoking BPEL Task Apis - Recommended approach

    Hi all,
    I am trying to invoke BPEL Task webservice APIs and am referring to this link . I have a few queries in this regard.
    1. Workflow Service Clients - Best approach - It appears that there are many approaches to get a workflow service client and am confused which to proceed with.
    i. wf_client_config.xml & use getWorkflowServiceClient to get the client
    ii. Using a JAXB Object
    iii. Using a Map
    2. If I am to invoke the webservice, what are the setups required at my client end to invoke the webservice?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    I added the jar files and I don;t get the exception anymore. I am able to login in as weblogic and the application works fine. When I login in as anyother user I get this error. Where is this pc.properties?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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?

  • 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.

  • Service Desk WebService API - IctTimestamp in UTC ?

    Hi all,
    ..I know this is quite specific, but maybe someone has come across it. In Solution Manager 7, SP24, we are implementing the WebSAervices API and in general it works ok.
    There is the field IctTimestamp, which according to the WhitePaper / Docs should be sent from external system in UTC format and so it is.
    But unfortunatly, Solution Manager doesn't convert this UTC time back to local time in the Service Desk, even though system timezone is set correct to UTC+4.
    So we receive the timestamp in UTC date fine, but it is not converted to local time as per system setup.
    Is anyone aware of this and how to address ? Sounds like a bug for me ?
    Thanks a lot,

  • Setting format and format options in Output module settings for render queue item

    Hello,
    I am unable to set the "Format" and "Format options" for video in output module settings programatically using After effects apis.
    I referred the after effects cs3 sdk guide for the apis.
    I find apis for all other options in the "outputmodule settings " like :
    AEGP_SetEmbedOptions
    AEGP_SetOutputChannels
    AEGP_SetStretchInfo
    AEGP_SetSoundFormatInfo
    But there is no api listed for setting the options available in the "Format" tab and "Format options" tab.
    The "Format" tab and "Format options" tab is available in the dialog that opens when user clicks on the Output module settings for the render queue item.
    The format tab when clicked shows a drop down list with aff different formats. By default "Video for Windows" is set.
    The drop down list contains following format options
    Adobe Clip Notes
    Adobe Flash video
    Quicktime movie
    Video for Windows
    I need to be able to set the "Quicktime movie" option in the Format tab programmatically and then set the compression type as "Animation" in the compression settings programatically using the api functions available in AE CS3 SDK
    Please suggest the suitable api to do so.
    I need to write my own plugin to export to Quicktime movie using the after effects apis.
    I follow below steps to do so.
    1. AEGP_InsertMenuCommand and add export option to AE with my own plugin name
    2. In the command hook, select active item using AEGP_GetActiveItem
    3. Add it to render queue
    4. Set the output module settings for 0 th output module using
    suites.OutputModuleSuite1()
    5. Use different functions from suites.OutputModuleSuite1() to set the output module settings like EmbedOptions,StrechInfo etc.
    6. Till this step, I am doing it right. But I am not able to find any api for setting Format options using suites.OutputModuleSuite1()
    I also checked all other suites available for setting FormatOptions but no luck.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    -Namita

    Hi Namita,
    I am experiencing the same problem.
    I am using AE CC SDK, and I am unable to change the outputmodule format to any of the other movie format types (mov, mpg, flv, etc.).
    It is always set to "avi"
    I even compiled and ran the Queuebert example in the SDK, and there I get the same problem: the path extension is always left on ".avi"
    Does anyone know how to change this?

  • 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

    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.

  • Drag and drop option for hierarchy through Web Template

    Hi All,
    I have 2 hierarchies in one report. For example Product Hierarchy and Customer hierarchy. I would like to have an option in query where I can select the node from each hierarchy and the report is displayed only for the selected node/nodes. I am using Web Template. I used "Hierarchy filter" web item and was able to achieve this. But I would like to have a drag and drop option.
    I mean when I use Hierarchy filter web item, I have to select the particular node in the hierarchy. and then the report (Web Item - Table) is displayed based on the selection. But I would like to drag the node from the hierarchy and drop it to the report (Web Item - Table) and the report is displayed for the selected hierarchy node.
    Is this possible? How? Do I have to write any Java code or we can achieve this with BI Standard functionality.
    Regards.
    Parin Gandhi.

    This is not possible using Standard BI web functionality.
    If you are an expert with JavaScript and BI Web APIs you can probably write JS code to do this.

  • MDM 5.5 SP04 Java API and Web Service Documentation

    Is there documentation available that reflects the SP04 changes to the Java API, and the web services that are now available?
    As of this morning, service marketplace contained spotty SP04 docs.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Mike,
    A cookbook would be wonderful (I think our developers would throw a party)!
    An updated object model (as a preface to the user guide) for the legacy API (MDM4J.jar) AND the new "rebranded" API (mdm-*.jar) would also work.
    I've been reduced to comparing the SP3 & SP4 javadocs
    One fun approach that appears to be working for us, is to model each process using the DataManager, and try to duplicate that exactly via the corresponding API objects (e.g. the simple Connect-Find Table-Search Table-View Result Set-View Record-CheckOut/Upsert/Validate/CheckIn dance).  New features in the DataManager reveal themselves a little more readily
    Good luck,

  • How to integrate third party API and DLL

    Dear sir/Madam
    How can i integrate the third party high level API and DLL into my DLL, project keeping in view that all their functions and their definitions kept hidden. i have tried it but when importing the functions in the DLL and export the high level functions, compiler demands their declarations and prototypes.
    Is their a way to hide all these high level functions and still utilize them.
    thanks, regards
    Zafar

    Hi Matrix39,
    The compiler will still need the proper prototypes for the functions called in the third party DLL to compile your DLL whether you are using explicit or implicit linking to call the functions.  Declaring these prototypes in your DLL does not mean they will be exported by your DLL.  The functions exported by your DLL can be configured by navigating to Build»Target Settings in CVI.  From here you can configure what functions your DLL exports by clicking the Change... button in the Export section.  There are several options for specifying the functions including using header files and manual export declarations.  See the CVI Help for more information.

  • 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!

    BAM webservice inspection - To verify BAM webservices open:
    http://localhost/oraclebam/inspection.wsil.

    BAM data object operations - To describe BAM operations open: http://localhost/OracleBAM/Services/DataObject/DataObjectOperations.asmx?wsdl
