Which versions of Oracle can consume web services

Hi there,
We have many versions of Oracle ranging from 7.3.4 to 9.2.0.4 and are looking at them talking to a central app via a web service. Does anybody know whether the following versions can consume a web service
7.3.4
8i
9i has a utl_http package which seems to be the method used in one example I have. This package also exists in 8i but I don't know whether it can be used for web services in that version.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thx
Gary

Pl define "compatible" and "support up to that version" - if you are planning to use database links, then either version (XE or SE) will suffice. Pl note that XE cannot be patched and that functionality is limited - Oracle® Database Express Edition

Complete newbie question - Can BI consume web services?

Post Author: Steve Lamont
CA Forum: Data Integration
I am working on a new client site working on integration between a whole slew of systems including CRM, billing, BI etc. The client is architecting a SOA oriented approach to all integration where it make sense. As part of the effort, a new BI database is being built and loaded via some ETL tool. The primary interface to access this new BI data will be business objects (BO). Now, in the current environments, there are multiple, disparate BI systems containing various data. The BO knowledge person (and he is not a business object employee) on this site is claiming that to access these other BI databases, he wants to do it by sending out requests via service calls. I fully understand that BO itself can be set up to be a service provider and provide services for other consumers to take advantage of, but how does BO itself consume services provided by other applications?
Obviously I don't fully understand BO, but my initial inclination is that this approach is wrong. If data is required from these other BI source, wouldn't they be configured as data sources within business objects? This BO guy claims that calling web services is more efficient that direct peer-to-peer calls via the database drivers.
Can any share some comments on this situation?

You posted your question to the wrong forum, please try to post it to one of the subforums in "Enterprise Reporting, Query & Analysis".
This forum is about Data Integrator, Business Objects ETL tool.
I'll try to answer your question anyway with my reporting background From what I know, YES we can consume web services in reports (Crystal reports), but for larger volumes of data a direct access to the database would be faster. A webservice approach might make sense if the webservice implements some business logic (semantic layer) which would be easier then to go directly to the tables.
And just for the record : also Data Integrator can consumer web services...

Can i use flex to consume web services?

I am not a Flex developer and before delving into it I want
to be sure that it satisfies my project requirements. Mainly,
consuming web services. the other part of the project are a bunch
of buttons and graphs that constitute any GUI. so I think Flex can
handle this part as good as Flash.
Currently, I am using flash but my current client insists on
using flex. so my question is: can I develop in Flex whatever I can
develop in flash? or are there limitations?

If you are developing applications in Flash, then you will
love Flex. Flex will make you much more productive than Flash for
producing applications of any complexity. You can do at least
"most" of what you can do in Flash, and more. There might be a few
things you can do only in Flash, or more easily in Flex, but your
client has it right. They want Flex and they should want it. Check
out the FB3 help for the WebService, RemoteObject, and HTTPService
components.

How to consume Web Service with Password digest from PLSQL

We have Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3.0) 64 bit. We have a situation where we need to consume web service whose security header looks like as follow,

How to create password digest from PLSQL? or if any other alternatives available please response soon.

I do not see why it will not be possible to do digest authentication with a web server using PL/SQL.
As for the digest password - the web server supplies a token (a nonce) which you need to use for creating the hashed authentication token (the digest password). The URL I posted explains this authentication process.
As for the technical how-to in PL/SQL - as I mentioned, never had to do this (only dealt with Basic and NTLM authentication thus far). But as other auth methods (such as Microsoft's NTLM) can be implemented, I do not see why digest authentication could not.
Suggest you spend some time googling for technical articles/sample code on the subject - and try to find specific PL/SQL related sample code too.

Error running demo PL/SQL consuming web services

I downloaded and installed the code from:
http://technet.oracle.com/tech/webservices/htdocs/samples/dbwebservice/DBWebServices_PLSQL.html
on Oracle 9i version 2 (on both Windows and Solaris).
But I got the following error running the local time
demo:
ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1022
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

The error occurs on this line:
http_req := utl_http.begin_request(url, 'POST','HTTP/1.0');
Can anybody tell me what I do wrong? Thanks a lot!
Also, is there any alternative ways to consume web services
using PL/SQL only? Many thanks!

Mike,
Thanks so much for your help. I tried your code just now.
Same error:

Best practice for consuming web services

Hi
we are consuming web service in orchestration by "Add Generated Item".By using this option it creates 1 orch,1xsd file and some bindings.
we have different projects for schemas,maps and orchestration under our solution in visual studio.
Now i need to know that what will be the best practice for consuming web service in orchestration i mean in which project should i use "add generated item" (in orchstration project or in schemas project) coz it generates both 1 orch and 1
schema.
thanks

From a service orientation perspective you should abstract the service artifacts from the other artifacts. Otherwise it will be very difficult to update the service interface without affecting the other artifacts. For example you don't want to have to redeply
your entire application if only one field changes in the service you consume.
So I typically generate the items, remove the unnecessary stuff, and put them in a separate project.
Depending on the control you have over the services you want to consume, it would even be better to create another layer of abstraction. By that I mean create your own interface (schema) and map that one to the one the service exposes. This basically
is only necessary if you consume external services that are beyond your control. By abstracting the interface it exposes, you limit the impact of changes of that interface on the rest of your system. All changes are abstracted behind your own interface.
If you consume internal services, you can probably control the way the interface is defined. In a service oriented world all internal services expose a well known interface, based on the domain objects you have within your organisation.

Consuming Web Services with ABAP - WSDL

Hi All,
I Want to consume web service in abap, i found lot of documents,Here i am having data in the internal table i need to pass
it to wsdl file, The Web Service or Proxy generates a WSDL file. So this WSDL file can be consumed on ABAP Front and Encrypt the Data that is to be sent to the Banks.
I found the input and output, Where i can find the method generated or we need to create it
CALL METHOD io_clientproxy->XXXXXXXXXXXX
please let me have your valuable ideas
Thanks in advance,
Arun.

Hi Miguel,
I have not heared about SPROXY, Here i found some code,which calls a web service method and where it is from.
when i double click on my proxy it shows me some method.IF_PROXY_BASIS_INTERNAL~CREATE_FRAMEWORK
this is the one web service method. and i meed to pass the internal table data to WSDL file.
*-- create web service proxy class instance
TRY.
    CREATE OBJECT io_clientproxy
      EXPORTING
        logical_port_name = 'LP4'.
CATCH cx_ai_system_fault.

*-- call web service methods
TRY.
    CALL METHOD io_clientproxy->get_airport_information_by_is

Problem at Consume WEB Service in ABAP

hello!!
I tell them my problem, is to create a web service from the SE80, which could be used properly.
Then there was a change of server, which migrated to the developments and the web service is recreation, but this can not be consumed.
now I need help, is where do I indicate that the basis so that they can return to consume web services, what services or settings should be activated.
any suggestion or help are welcome.
The ECC system is a 5 AS ABAP only.
from now, I appreciate any help or guidance I can get.

What is the problem? Are all the services active in SICF for web services and how is the web service being consumed is it through a wsdl file ?

How can a web service be compliant with the WTK2.1?

I'm using WTK2.1 to develop mobile clients consuming web services.
After published a web service by Apache Axis, I use WTK2.1's Stub Generator to
generate the stub class.
As required by JSR172, I use the "document/literal" encoding style.
The web service class has only one method:
public int newUser(String userName, String password) {
But when I use Stub Generator to generator the stub class, I get the following messages:
************************ Error messages begin *****************************
warning: R2716 WSI-BasicProfile ver. 1.0, namespace attribute not allowed in doc/lit for soapbind:body: "newUser"

warning: ignoring operation "newUser": more than one part in input message

And following is the wsdl file:

<wsdlsoap:address location="http://localhost:8080/web/services/User"/>
</wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>
</wsdl:definitions>
So, can anybody tell me how to make the web service be used by the Stub Generator properly?

Hi,
I am new to WTK 2.1 and I am also using Axis to generate WSDL.
one thing I figured out was to remove the namespace info behind all body tags.
for instance in your code, replace:
<wsdlsoap:body namespace="http://localhost:8080/web/services/User" use="literal"/>
by
<wsdlsoap:body use="literal"/>
and it should work. don't ask me why but it worked for me.

Biztalk 2010 - Consume Web Service with Certificate

Hi
I have to consume a java web service with Biztalk that requires authentication via a client certificate. Until now I have not been able to consume any web service where any kind of authentication was needed. Simple web services without authentication are
no problem. Also using SoapUI works perfectly fine.
I am generating the XSDs and the port binding with the WCF wizard in VS2010. I've read several comments that it's not possible to consume web services with the WCF-WSHttp adapter when the message format should be SOAP 1.1. Therefore I'm trying with the WCF-BasicHttp
and WCF-Custom adapters, but I did not suceed in receiving a positive response yet.
The web service I want to consume uses a client certificate (with a private key) and two root certificates. When I use the BasicHttp adapter I choose either 'Transport' or 'TransportWithMessageCredential' but none of them work. I also have to supply a client
and a service certificate. I always use the one with the private key for the client but I'm not sure which one I have to use for the service. Is there a possibility that I have to provide both root certificates and if so, how can I achieve this?
Hope the question makes sense somehow... thanks for any input.
Error message that I receive currently is that the server needs a client certificate. However I attached it in the send port properties under the tab "Security" => mode "TransportWithMessageCredential".

Adapter: WCF-Custom
Binding: customBinding
Cannot send pictures (yet).

thanks alot

Hi.
Looking at the code, it seems it is my article you are asking about.
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/utl_dbws10g.php
I've just run through it on an 11.2 instance and it works fine for me.
Make sure your server has access to the Internet and make sure the java classes are loaded successfully.

How to consume web service in Agentry in SMP 3.0

Dear All , I am using web service in Agentry to retrive data but could not able to fetch it . I have made connection with HTTP-XML for consuming webservices. and also give proper information in Agentry.ini files Ex : [HTTPXML-2] name=HTTP-XML Back End authenticationCertificateStore=MY authenticationCertificateStorePassword= authenticationCertificateStorePasswordEncoded=false autoDequote=true ;baseURL=http://localhost:81 baseURL=http://sapes1.sapdevcenter.com:8080/sap/opu/odata/iwbep/gwdemo/ basicAuthenticationPassword=123456 basicAuthenticationPasswordEncoded=false basicAuthenticationUserID=P1466405733 constantsFile=httpxml_sd.ini enableAuthentication=false enablePreviousUserAuthentication=false httpConnectTimeout=300 httpReceiveTimeout=300 httpResolveTimeout=300 httpSendTimeout=300 listenOn= timeout=300 timeZoneName= useSSL=false xmlAllowXSLTScript=true xmlNamespaces= xmlResolveExternals=true xmlValidateOnParse=true for more information i have attached agentry XML screen shot as well . Can you please guide me how to consume web services in Agentry correct way ? Note : Currently i am using standard netweaver demo web services . Thanks & Regards , Kunal Varaiya

The XML Steps URL will be added to the Agentry.ini BaseURL. So you dont' need the full URL on the step.
So when Agentry Runs the step to call the backend it will go:
<BaseURL>/<Step's URL>
This way if you need to change the base URL, IE, going from Dev to QA to Production Server you only need to change the Base, and not go into every step and update it.
URL: This attribute contains the URL to which the Agentry Server will make a request. This value will be appended to the value configured as the base URL for the HTTP-XML system connection. This base URL is configured within the HTTP-XML system connection configuration options for the Agentry Server. Proper use of both this base URL option and the URL entered in the requests of the step definitions can support portability for the application, with the base URL being the implementation-specific portion and the step’s URL being the portion not likely to change for the same back end system from one implementation to the next.

Creating and consuming web service

Hello Everyone,
Please help me in creating a webservice which can be consumed in a button in Excel sheet i.e. I have to create a button in Excel sheet and on click of that button i have to consume a web service deployed in AS. Also I have to pass the data in Excel sheet to that web service.
PS: This is just a business logic no other view or UI is required here.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Pranav

Hi Pranav
>2. I know I can download WSDL files from server using the test page. Downloaded zip file has these three wsdl files Config1_document.wsdl, Config1_TestVi_document.wsdl and main.wsdl. But which wsdl to use while consuming.
Actually all the .wsdl files are part of single WSDL document which describes your Web service. Starting/root point here is main.wsdl which references two other .wsdl. You can access any time the root WSDL part by URL like
"http://<host>:<port>/BcfRemoteCheck/Config1?wsdl&style=document&mode=standard".
Hope you know where to see the WSDL URL (in Webservice Navigator or in Single Service Administration where you downloaded the ZIP).
When you are consuming web-service you need all the parts. Usually when a Web-service is consumed the remote WSDL is used for generation of WS Client Proxy. But, the WSDL files can be also downloaded and used locally for generation of the WS Client Proxy.
Sometimes the WSDL is not necessary at all for WS consuming on run-time. In the case it's used only on design-time just to know WS names, ports, operations, etc, for writing the code of WS Client.

UCCX - Consuming Web Services

Hi All,
I am looking for some advice in regards to consuming web services via UCCX scripting. In the past i have been doing so successfully in our environment by using document steps and Xpath expressions for both SOAP and REST web services that were configured to allow an HTTP GET request (tomcat running on apache server to expose public methods written in Java).
Our company is in the midst of a Microsoft Dynamics 2012 (r2) implementation and I have the task of establishing communication with AX in order to pass information back and forth. Our consultants with dynamics have setup a test web service using AIF, but it seems that these services require authentication. Currently the test web service is using NTLM authentication and exposed via SOAP. Apparently it is not possible to use HTTP GET for these web services.
This means i had to write java code in Set steps to communicate with the SOAP services. I was able to successfully do this for some of our own web services using SOAP. however i am having problems with the AX test web service due to the authentication. (Thanks to Gergely Szabo, as i used some of his code found here: https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/97736/uccx-8x-really-simple-soap-client-no-custom-jar )
I am hoping someone has some experience with having consumed AIF web services via Java or at least Java written within a UCCX script. Or if someone has been able to implement authentication and can provide some details for how that works? I don't even know if i can authenticate via NTLM from UCCX scripts due to it being a windows authentication protocol and not linux based.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Kevin.

Hi,
Thus far I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to communicate with this particular web service. The consults did create another service using Basic HTTP Auth and I was able to consume and use the service using SOAPUI just fine.
However, my soapResponseString code (small tweak of Gergely's code) is not working. After 2-3 minutes of sitting on that step in the CRS Editor my stacktrace exception is thrown and shows "Connection timed out". This is way past the time for the 5000ms read timeout, so I imagine the initial communication is successful but then eventually times out due to not returning a response?
I tried to mimic the headers SOAPUI uses from it's HTTP Log, hence the number of urlCon.setRequestProperty lines..
CODE for Set soapResponseString below:
// create a ByteArrayOutputStream - this is actually a buffer
// we are going to use to store the response coming from the SOAP server
java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream();
// this is quite unnecessary: assigning the value of the soapRequest (still holding our XML document)
// to another variable, named content, type String; but anyway, it's just cleaner
String content = soapRequest;
// specify a timeout - 5000 milliseconds - if the web server does not start sending back
// anything within this timeframe, an exception will be raised
int readTimeout = 5000;
try {
// a new URL, which is the soapServiceEndpoint variable value (http://ip:port/ etc):
     java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(soapServiceEndpoint);
// creating a HTTP connection to the above URL:
     java.net.HttpURLConnection urlCon = (java.net.HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
// setting some important header parameters, first of all, content length, this is most likely expected
// by the SOAP server
     urlCon.setFixedLengthStreamingMode(content.length());
// setting the timeout:
     urlCon.setReadTimeout(readTimeout);
// we tell Java we will do input (in other words, we will read):
     urlCon.setDoInput (true);
// we tell Java we will do output (in other words, we will send):
     urlCon.setDoOutput (true);
// we tell Java not to cache:
     urlCon.setUseCaches (false);
// we are using HTTP POST
     urlCon.setRequestMethod("POST");
// finally, we set the Content-Type header,
// this way we are telling the SOAP server we are sending an XML, using the UTF-8 charset
     urlCon.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","text/xml;charset=UTF-8");
// here we are sending our Basic Auth - authStringEnc is a base64 encoded user:pass credential that's initialized in a previous step
urlCon.setRequestProperty("Authorization","Basic " + authStringEnc);
//set some other header information for the request required by the AIF Web Service
urlCon.setRequestProperty("SOAPAction","http://tempuri.org/myService/getSiteId");
urlCon.setRequestProperty("Host", "myServer.myDomain.com:8080");
urlCon.setRequestProperty("Connection","Keep-Alive");
urlCon.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Java/1.6.0_29");
urlCon.setRequestProperty("Accept-Encoding","gzip,deflate");
// opening an OutputStream (this is a one-way channel towards the SOAP server:
     java.io.DataOutputStream output = new java.io.DataOutputStream(urlCon.getOutputStream());
// we write the contents of the content variable (= soapRequest = XML document):
     output.writeBytes(content);
// telling Java to flush "speed up!" and then close the stream:
     output.flush();
     output.close();
// now getting the InputStream (getting a one way channel coming from the SOAP server):
     java.io.DataInputStream input = new java.io.DataInputStream(urlCon.getInputStream());
// buffered read from the InputStream, buffer size 4Kilobytes (= 4096 bytes):
// and the buffer is always written to the other buffer, named baos, that we specified
// on the first line of this block of code
     int bufSize = 4096; // buffer size, bytes
     byte[] bytesRead = new byte[bufSize];
     int bytesReadLength = 0;
     while(( bytesReadLength = input.read( bytesRead )) > 0 ) {
         baos.write(bytesRead,0,bytesReadLength);
     } //while block ends here
// closing the InputStream:
     input.close();
// closing the baos buffer
     baos.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
// again, if an error occurs, let's just send the stack trace to stdout (stdout.log)
// and then return null or can we can return e.getMessage() to see the exception caught inside the script
    e.printStackTrace();
return e.getMessage();
    //return null;
} // try..catch block ends here
// construct a new String, and return that to the CRS script:
return new String(baos.toByteArray());
} // closure ends here
