Webservices with APEX and base64binary

Hi,
I'm trying to integrate stellent content management with APEX 3.2. for this I need to create and consume webservices. Stellent has some basic WSDL's that I can use to integrate. One of them is called checkin service and under checkin service we have a sub service called checkinuniversal that I am using to check in content into the content server. the issue that I am facing is that I dont know how to pass base64binary data to the webservice as the filecontent in that WSDL has a format of base64binary. I can manually create the webservice request and post the data to the webservice but that will not be the optimal way. So long story short is there any way to post base64binary data to a WSDL based webservice in APEX?
Regards,
Anand

Anand:
No, you cannot yet post binary base64 encoded data with a Web service reference based on a WSDL. You will have to use PL/SQL. I have written a blog post on how to do exactly what you are trying to accomplish. See:

Create PDF report with APEX and Oracle 11g doesn't work

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with the downloading of PDF reports from APEX with Oracle 11g.
When I try to download a PDF, Acrobat Reader says it can not open the file.
I have done the same test in an environment with APEX and Oracle 10g and it works perfectly.
Does anyone know if there is a known bug for version 11g.
Thank you very much.

Develope complex WebService with JDeveloper and deploy to tomcat

Hello,
I am thinking of developing a complex WebService with JDeveloper and deploy it to tomcat.
The WebService should retrieve a few "normal" datatypes and a pdf and a few images. I try to store the pdf and the image in an Oracle DB as BLOB.
My idea ist to create a Package which selects the values, pdf and the image and retrieve them as the output paramter.
Then I want to create a WebService with the JDeveloper which calls this Package. This WebService should be published on a Tomcat.
My first question is if that is possible?
I think there are few problems.
I searched the forum about deploying a JDeveloper WebService to Tomcat, but I can not find a whole solution which is going to work. I read something about JAX-RPC, but I am new to this topic. So it would be very nice, if anyone could tell me where I can find the solution or post a quick guide to solve that.
Another question is how I have to decode the images and the pdf to provide those files in a WebService?
I would be very glad if anyone can help me or tell me where I can find information about that, becaus I am new to this topic!
Thank you,
Tim

Hi,
does anybody have an idea about that?
Thanks,
Tim

Copy db with apex and then rename it

Hi all,
developers asked me to create several db with apex installed. So I created one installed everything they needed and then copied the files, renamed them, renamed the database and everything was ok.
One question prevails:
Is ther any key, hash value or whatsoever that apex uses to identify apllications or for use of authentication which could cause problems in the case described above as these database all have the same contents as far as apex is concerned.
Any help apperciated.

Problems with apex and anychart (using reverse proxy)

Hi,
Im using 2 Servers. The first with Apache2 and the /i/ directory and the second with a Oracle XE Database.
The imagedirectory is at the first server.
Heres my Apache Setup:
<Location /apex>
Options None

ProxyPassReverse http://..(remote_ip)..:8080/apex
</Location>
Alias /i/ /var/i/
<Directory "/var/i/">

if I open a page with a anychart chart I get this error:
"Flash Security Error

Please refer to Security error Article in Anychart Documentation..."
http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/index.html?security-error.html
I think I have to place a crossdomain.xml
Placing the crossdomain.xml in example.com/ root-directory doesn't work?
thanks for any help

Hi Christoph,
Yes, the APEX Listener works with Oracle XE. The APEX Listener is currently an Early Adopters release, and is available for download from here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/apex_listener_download.html. I would recommend reviewing the accompanying Installation Guide before proceeding. There's an 'APEX Listener Feedback' thread - APEX Listener Feedback - which may also proof useful to you. There's also another related thread on this topic: Re: #HOST# Substituin incorrect for charts via Reverse Proxy which discusses the replacement of the #HOST# substitution string.

WebService with remoting and AS3

Hi at all,
last day i have ask the solution in order to work with
Webservice with AS3;
I have try to use Remoting before download and install many
3th party
webservice class (like wellconsiderer.com component), but
without
success: i can't call ASMX file with remoting.
<CODE>
import flash.net.NetConnection;
import flash.net.Responder;
var myResult:Function = function(o:Object)
trace("result="+o);
var myStatus:Function = function (o:Object)
trace("status="+o.code+"__"+o.description);
var myResponder:Responder = new Responder(myResult,myStatus);
NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
var a:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
a.objectEncoding = ObjectEncoding.AMF0;
a.connect("
http://localhost/webservices/management/Manager.asmx?WSDL");
a.call("loginAdministrator", myResponder,
"username","password");
</CODE>
Why i receive "Error opening URL..." ?
andrew

While I can offer a couple ideas, you'll need to spend some time figuring out how to use Flash... maybe get some formal training with it.
For the photographs, create each set of them as a movieclip, and give each movieclip an instance name so that you can control its visibility using code. Initially you will want to set the visible property of them all to false, likely done in the first frame of the timeline (ex: imageGrp1.visible = false; ). Then you will use your buttons to make them visible.
To code one of the buttons, you need to assign it an instance name as well. Then you need to assign an event listener for that button to detect when it gets clicked, and an event handler function to go with the event listener... the listener calls the function into action when the event occurs.
ex:
// the event listener for a button with an instance name of imgGrp1Button...
imgGrp1Button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showGrp1);
// and the event handler function for the CLICK listener
function showGrp1(evt:MouseEvent):void {
imageGrp1.visible = true;
If you want to hide any visible set when you select a new one, then you can create a function that sets them all visible = false and call that function both at the start in frame 1 and in each button event handler function (before you set the selected set to be visible).

Issue with Apex and IE , losing data for items on submit

Hi All,
I am facing one problem in APEX when i run my page on IE 8. When i submit the page i lose the data for all my items while the same does not happen on Firefox mozila and Google chorme.
Actually i have one select list which has one dynamic action associated with it when i select the options from this list other object become enable and disable with that action and page get submit.
but when i select this list in IE page get submit and my value which i selected also get lost.
Please let me know if this is some issue with IE or Apex as soon as possible.
This is bit urgent.
Thanks

Modify your code as below and run the page in debug mode and note the value shown for p610_x DECLARE
l_vc_arr2 APEX_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
BEGIN
wwv_flow.debug('value for p610_x is ' || :p610_x);
l_vc_arr2 := APEX_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(:P610_X,'~');
FOR z IN 1..l_vc_arr2.count LOOP
htp.p(l_vc_arr2(z) || '
END LOOP;

HTTPS with APEX and Orace XE

I looked into it and I cant really get a clear image on how this works and if it is possible with my current situation.
What do I want?
I want make HTTPS calls from my pl/sql like:
UTL_HTTP.SET_WALLET('location', 'pw');
req := utl_http.begin_request('https:.....');
What is my situation:
I just installed XE and Apex 4 on it, as far I know I have no apache or an other webserver running.
I know you need to set wallets and that the wallet manager is not available in XE due licence reasons but is it totally impossible to use https?
(honestly never did any HTTPS calls with any serverside script/code, and not an experience Oracle user either)
Cant I just manually drag a certificate or wallet inside a folder or something?
Or if I want to use HTTPS in XE I need to use 3rd party software and how?
P.S. It is for secure calls to the facebook API
Greets

I'm not familiar with that construct but did you try this and not have it work?
In general if you tell the browser to use https to connect to some ssl service it
does it without you specifying a cert to use... unless you were using certs to identify
yourself instead of ids and passwords. Most of the cert action is on the part of the
web service that is providing an https: service which would be facebook in this case.
So I'd say try it first if you haven't. I would imagine an id and password would have to be in
the mix however?

Using CreateObject for Webservice with username and password

When using createObject() to call a web service how do I pass
in the user name and password required by the service?
If I do a cfdump on the webservice object I see it has
setUserName() and setPassword() methods but they don't seem to be
working.
I also see there are properties named "USERNAME_PROPERTY" and
"PASSWORD_PROPERTY" but I can't seem to modify them in code. I
suppose they are protected.
example:
ws = createObject("webservice", "
http://url.to/wsdl.xml",
"serviceport");
ws.setUserName("myawesomeusername");
ws.setPassword("myawesomepassword");
myReturn = ws.serviceMethodCall("bla");

that uses in/out parameters which to the best of my knowledge
requires the use of createObject() but at the same time the web
service requires a username and password which I can only do with
<cfinvoke>. Looks like I will be writing a compiled custom

According to the docs you can provide a username and password
by passing a struct containing these items to CreateObject

If you like cfinvoke use it. You can get return values by
using the returnVariable argument. I would assume mutliple output
parameters would be returned in a struct.

Remote debugging with APEX and SQL Developer

Hi,
I have problems concerning breakpoints within my SQL Packages I want to debug.
I want to force SQL-Developer to suspend execution of a function, so I can get forward step by step.
The SQL-Developer do not stop executing at the breakpoints I set in the Package.
The message I get is the following (on SQL-Developer side):
Debugger accepted connection from remote process on port 4000.
Processing 110 classes that have already been prepared...
Finished processing prepared classes.
Debugger disconnected from remote process.
Seems to me, that the process runs into the debug-mode but leave without stopping at a given breakpoint??
Do anybody have an idea how to solve it?
We use Oracle 10.2.0.3.0, SQL Developer 1.5.1 and APEX 3.1.2.
The Package-function I want to debug runs on another Oracle database as the APEX application.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Norbert

Hi Carsten,
now I have done a further step. I can debug a remote PL/SQL-Package through APEX, but now I get an exception when the program execution jumps back to the APEX PL/SQL-Package.
My APEX-Page-Process looks like this:
BEGIN
dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp(host => 'IP-ADDRESS', port => '4201');
APEX_TEST_PKG.remoteDebug;
dbms_debug_jdwp.disconnect;
END;The procedure APEX_TEST_PKG.remoteDebug looks like this (located on the APEX-DB):
PROCEDURE startRemoteDebug
AS
    v_string    VARCHAR2(50)   := '';
BEGIN
    [email protected](host => 'IP-ADDRESS', port => '4000',
             option_flags => dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_defer_suspension);
    v_string := [email protected];
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_string);
    [email protected];
END remoteDebug; The procedure REMOTE_TEST_PKG.testFunc looks like this (located on the Remote-DB):
FUNCTION testFunc RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
    v_string    VARCHAR2(50)   := '';
BEGIN
    v_string := 'Test';
RETURN v_string;
END testFunc; When I start the debug session without the option dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_defer_suspension, I get an exception Oracle.EXCEPTION_ORA_604.
Starting the debug session with the above mentioned option, I am able to debug the remote function.
But now I get an exception when the executor tries leaving the remote function going back to the invoking function. With the debugger I can step over the return-statment successfully and the debugger steps on the next line END testFunc;. On this line I get the exception above
Exception breakpoint occurred at line -1 of PBREAK.pls.
$Oracle.Builtin.EXCEPTION_USER:
Exception breakpoint occurred at line -1 of PBREAK.pls.
$Oracle.Builtin.EXCEPTION_USER: I tried another way where I get now exception and where I can step through my functions in APEX, descending to functions in the remote db and going back to APEX.
For this case I put the debug-statements in remote function:
FUNCTION testFunc RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
    v_string    VARCHAR2(50)   := '';
BEGIN
    dbms_debug_jdwp.connect_tcp(host => 'IP-ADDRESS', port => '4000');
    v_string := 'Test';
    dbms_debug_jdwp.disconnect;
RETURN v_string;
END testFunc; But I have no idea why it doesn't work properly starting the remote debug session in the apex procedure.

Michael

Deployment of Java WebService with OC4J and JDeveloper

Hi,
I have created a sample java webservice following instructions given in one OTN tutorial (Developing, Deploying and Managing Web Services Using JDeveloper and Oracle Application Server ) at http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/ws/wsandascontrol.htm
We were able to create the webservice as shown in the tutorial but are facing problem while deploying it. The deployment message console in JDeveloper shows one "Deployment failed : ClassCastException".
Some of the lines from Jdeveloper console are ::
"Binding WebServices web-module for application JavaWebService-GetDates-WS to site default-web-site under context root JavaWebService-GetDates-context-root failed"
I have gone through the stack trace in the OC4J console but couldnt figure out much out of it as all the culprit classes are from different jar files...Here is the Stack trace for your ref::

Looking at the success message shown in the OTN tutorial it seems that only step that failed while this deployment is Initialization of servlet : Oracle.j2ee.ws.server.JAXRPCServlet for webapplication Webservices.

Hi, thanks for your quick help.
Shay, I agree with you that the specific tutorial uses JDeveloper 10.1.3 and I need to use JDK 5 to run that version of JDeveloper.
Earlier when I used JDK 5 with JDeveloper 10.1.3, I got different error saying "Found runtime environment 49.0 expected environment is 48.0".....so I moved over to J2SE1.4.2_08 version but now I am getting an error as shown in the stack trace given in the very first post to this thread.

Webservices with Jdeveloper and Omni Porlet

I am trying to make a portlet that can read xml from a webservice
I first pull the webservice from the server....
<env:Body xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<ns0:getPreviousChargesDataStringResponse xmlns:ns0="http://assessment/" env:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<return xsi:type="xsd:string" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<rowset><row><Assessment_Group> etc...
</return>
</ns0:getPreviousChargesDataStringResponse>
</env:Body>
then I use the xsl to make it in the <rowset><row> form.
My xsl translation looks like this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
my problem is my output comes out something like this
<rowset>
<row>
<Assessment_Group>A </Assessment_Group>
The omni port wizard doesnt understand what the &lt means.
How can I fix this?

I have still not figured this one out. Any help please?

Hi!
Thanks for the help:
- I give all proxy details. In HTTP and HTTPS proxy tabs too.
one interesting thing:
- We publicate the same WebService with HTTP and HTTPS prefix.
- If I create a proxy for the WS with HTTP, everything is correct and works well.
- If I create a proxy for the WS with HTTPS, gives the error written the previous posts. (And can't create the logical port with SOAMANAGER)
I compare the 2 WSDL. It is the same, except the links. (HTTP and HTTPS) all others are same.
- And why it is possible in both case (HTTP, HTTPS) to create the proxy with SE80 from the WSDL URL? (And after the logical port was failed)

ApEx and Section 508 compliance

1. Is ApEx section 508 compliant? </br>
2. Any documentation available on this topic? </br></br>
(Section 508: employees with disabilities need to have access to information and data in a manner comparable to the access and use by employees who are not individuals with disabilities) </br></br> Vasan

Hello,
1. Is ApEx section 508 compliant? APEX can build 100% 508/DDA compliant applications. What Apex does not do is enforce 508/DDA compliance nor does it automatically insert accessibility features. Tab index's shortcuts to skip navigation , proper headings etc. This is left up to the developer to do so that you can properly address your application and or organizations accessibility requirements.
One thing that is sometimes a sticking point is APEX's use of javascript. While you can create an APEX application that does not use javascript it has quite limited functionality. APEX does follow Oracle's stance on accessibility and javascript.
http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/standards.html
JAWS testing has also taken place with APEX and with properly built applications and the applications work great.
2. Any documentation available on this topic? Building an accessible application in APEX is exactly like building an accessible application in any HTML environment. Set your tabindex's correctly, make sure data tables have proper headings , make sure that labels are properly linked to form items and such. There used to be a APEX and accisislbuity blog posting but I don't think it's available anymore. Searching this forum will also return you some results.
Most accessibility issues come from improperly constructed templates, and making sure that page report and label templates have accessible features usually takes care of most issues.
Our VPAT can be found here http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/templates/t780.htm and is currently being updated to cover all versions up to 3.1 , there have only been minor changes.
APEX is also going to start taking advantage of ARIA features http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria so that developers can more easily create rich interactive applications that still can use AJAX and other DHTML features. But there is no reason you can't start including ARIA features in your applications today.
Regards,
Carl
