XI Message Protocol and Value-Added Web Services

Hi,
I have a couple of questions on the above-mentioned topic:
- How is the enhanced SOAP format in XI able to deliver value-added web services (as described in the XI documentation)?
- If the XI format is an enhancement of SOAP, is it again fully open or are there some proprietary pieces to it?
Thanks and Regards,
Bharath

Hi Bharath,
>>> How is the enhanced SOAP format in XI able to deliver value-added web services (as described in the XI documentation)?
value-added web services means that you can monitor
all web services from one place (with the xi monitoring features)
if you're using point-to-point connections without the XI
you have to monitor all of your flows from all those applications and not from just one place

How to install and consume GroupWise Web Service (SOAP)

Hello! I'm Razvan, programmer from Romnia, and I am new to GroupWise development.
I am asking if anyone could help me with a C# Visual Studio 2010 example of how to install and consume GroupWise Web Service (SOAP).
The documentation from novell site didn't help me, i didn't understant much of it.
All I need is either a link to a documented GroupWise C# developer step-by-step tutorial, or some code examples.
Can you please show me some code examples in C# with:
1)loging in using a username and a password,
2)retrieving contact list,
3)retrieving appointment list,
4)sending a mail,
5)setting an appointment
I don't know how to use "groupwise.wsdl" and customise it so that it points to our GroupWise server.
Please, I really need this because I am working at a project right now which involves GroupWise integration.
I hope I haven't disturbed anyone with my simple question.
I know this might be a very simple question given the complexity of the other posts here, but that's why I really hope I will get an answer soon.
Thank you very much!

How can I authenticate and authorize with Web Service on ESB ?

Hello,
I want to authenticate and authorize client with Web Service published
by HTTP/SOAP BC.
Simply if it is an Web Service as J2EE application, I will use
Basic Authentication with JAX-RPC and Realm.
But I think that Web Service published by HTTP/SOAP BC is not belong
to J2EE Application. Threre is no place to describe security role mapping
(like web.xml).
JBI 1.0 the section "5.5.1.1.3 Normalized Message Properties" comments
JAAS Subject is given in the NM Properties. Really in this package
com.sun.jbi.internal.security.*
implements JAAS autentication and authorization (at JaasAuthenticator).
But I can't see how to configure my Service to use this.

Apex 4.1 Form and Report on Web Service Report displays nothing

Hello I created and tested a webservice using the test feature in Apex 4.1.
I know the results is a string of 1 row.
I created a Form and Report on Web Service. When I run the form there is nothing displayed in the Reports section its just blank.
If I run the sql from the results region I get no data found.
Is the problem the returned data is not stored in the collection?
Edited by: Oracle Primavera on Oct 26, 2011 3:32 PM

What would be the reason for the following.
Testing the webservice in apex returns values.
However when I run Form and Report on Web Service Report if I query the collection it is always empty?
Does anyone have any experience on this issue? Is it a bug? Please some hints I have been trying for two weeks without success.

JMS producer and consumer as Web service?

Q:WSI17-Does Weblogic support JMS producers and consumers as Web service? And could
it be Topic or Queue?

A<WSI-17> The message style web services can be producers, consumers or both. Additionally,
both Point to Point (Queue) and Publish/Subscribe (Topic) domains are supported.
See the documentation at http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs61/webServices/develop.html#1031913.

(261705413) Q RPCC-21 Can you compare a performance of "usual" RPC from EJB and RPC from Web Services?

Q<RPCC-21> Can you compare a performance of "usual" RPC from EJB and RPC from Web
Services?
A<RPCC-21> There are additional performance overheads for invoking a web service
when compared to straight EJB invocation. However, you should not think of web
services as a way to replace your EJBs instead you should be willing to accept
some performance decline for the massive gains in platform interoperability and
the ability to exposure your services outside of you firewall.
Additionally, performance decreases will be dependent on several factors. The
most significant of which is the XML-Java and Java-XML translation of the SOAP
message. This can be very fast if the XML structure is simple but if you web services
requires a parameter that has a complex XML format you may see a more significant
slow down.
Adam

Sorry if this sounds like I am new to this but I am.
So, the extended version is the format that would be used if you were not utilizing the files that the wsdl2java function creates?
And this is done to when you want more flexibiility for the user to call your service?
So, you would push to have the stub files used when you want to control how the web service is used?
thanks for the feedback.

Adding web services to C# application

Hello,
having on mind that I use SQL Server 2008 R2, could somebody help me to perform adding WEB Services as described bellow:
1
ReportServer2005: Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices.ReportService2005 URL:
http://servername/ReportServerName/ReportService2005.asmx?wsdl Declaration: ReportingService2005 rs = new ReportingService2005();
2
ReportExecution2005: Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices.ReportExecutionService URL:
http://servername/ReportServerName/ReportExecution2005.asmx?wsdl Declaration: ReportExecutionService rsExec = new ReportExecutionService();
I guess that "servername" and "ReportServerName" are those from my local Report Server (i.e., MyLocalComputerName and MyLocalReportServerName).
Purpose of this is to programmatically
perform export of SSRS report to PDF, based on parameter's array.
Thanks!

help me to perform adding WEB Services as described bellow:
Hello,
It depends a Little bit on the used Visual Studio Version. Basically do a right-mouse click on "References" and select
The next steps are a Little bit hidden & confusing: In the next Dialog click on "Advanced..", then add "Web reference" and here you can enter the URL for SSRS SOAP, click on the green arrow and the WSDL data will be retrieved &

How to create items and BOMs using web services

Hi All,
I need to create, change and read Items and BOMs through web services (using SOA Gateway, right). I found this one here: "Process Item (convenience wrapper version)" or "Process Item" within
Internal Name     EGO_ITEM_PUB
Type               PL/SQL
Product          Advanced Product Catalog
Status          Active
Business Entity     Catalog Item
Right now, I don't know how to use it. If somebody has a simple example to create a single item, this would be perfect! Which one would be the right one to read detailed information about an existing item?
The second object I need to maintain (create, change and read) is BOM. Which API can I use here?
btw: I use EBS 12.1.1 on windows.
Many thanks,
Konrad

Hi!
Thanks for your quick answer but unfortunately, I must admit that I'm an absolute beginner with Oracle and EBS and so things like:
Enable trace and generate the tkprof file or open the form using forms builder to get the name of the API used in thta screen.or
Please check e-trm site for your question do not help me to much :-(
Any other advice?

[OSB and OWSM] - External Web service stacks and frameworks

Hi everyone ! I'm starting to read about OSB and OWSM and I'm having some doubts. I've some developments of Web services with external Stacks like CXF, JBossWS, Metro and I'd like to ask some questions:
1- Will I be able to productively leverage all features of OSB and OWSM like creating a proxy service to add WS-* standards policies and features (WS-Security, for instance) even with these web services implemented in different stacks other than Weblogic's ?
2- If it is possible, do these web services need to be deployed at the Weblogic server to enable the OWSM and OSB to work effectively ?
3- Even if it is possible to use the OSB and OWSM nicely with webservices developed at external stacks and deployed at other application servers is there any reason to quit using these external web service stacks in favor of Weblogic's (like features only enabled on OSB/OWSM when the services use the Weblogic stack) ?
I suppose that if I ignore the JAX-WS stack from Weblogic and use an external framework (like CXF) I'll lose most of the application server administration capabilities since the Weblogic server won't be able to recognize the CXF stack as it does with its own.But, the main doubt I'm in is, since OSB and OWSM might be used with external providers I probably won't need to develop my web services using the Weblogic implementation (which my team does not yet know) since there will be no features of the OSB and OWSM which can only be used with the Weblogic's stack. I would like, please, to know your oppinions about these considerations. Sorry about the long post and possible errors (I just started learning).
Thank you!

Hi Lupan,
I can speak mostly to OWSM as my experience with OSB is small thus far.
+1- Will I be able to productively leverage all features of OSB and OWSM like creating a proxy service to add WS-* standards policies and features (WS-Security, for instance) even with these web services implemented in different stacks other than Weblogic's ?+
OWSM (10gR3) has two types of policy enforcement point (PEP) -- Gateway and Agent. The Gateway acts as a remote proxy and is neutral to the service implementation technology as long as it adheres to SOAP 1.1. In this regard you can use OWSM freely with CXF, MS implementations, etc. Agents run in-process with the service and thus have far greater restrictions on what service implementation frameworks and containers that are supported. There is some certification for AXIS 1.x running in OAS and Tomcat; but practically speaking, my recommendation for Agents is to only use within OAS 10gR3 where it is built in (and using OC4J Web Services through JAX-RPC).
OWSM 11gR1 initially supports only agent-style (in process) PEP and is built-in to Fusion Middleware and WLS. It is only for Fusion and WLS Web Service implementations.
OWSM is quite full-featured for WS-*.
+2- If it is possible, do these web services need to be deployed at the Weblogic server to enable the OWSM and OSB to work effectively ?+
"No" if using OWSM Gateway PEP. A qualified "Yes" if using OWSM Agent PEP.
+3- Even if it is possible to use the OSB and OWSM nicely with webservices developed at external stacks and deployed at other application servers is there any reason to quit using these external web service stacks in favor of Weblogic's (like features only enabled on OSB/OWSM when the services use the Weblogic stack) ?+
There is the manageability that you mention, but also there is the identity propagation scenario and tight security integration. Both OAS and WLS hosted services in the native stacks (JAX-RPC and JAX-WS) allow sophisticated and secure passing of identity in the request -- for instance, via SAML Assertions in the WS-Sec header -- and built-in capabilities to map the passed identity into the running service's Subject (i.e. enabling JAAS security etc.).
In my experience this type of identity propagation functionality has either been absent or less complete in other typical implementation frameworks not closely aligned with the container security mechanisms.
Hope this helps,
Todd

How to deploy and debug java web service in eclipes or using any other soft

Hai,
can any one tell me how to deploy and debug java web service in eclipes or using any other software.
i have used tomcat web server and jdk1.4.0 to develop web service.
we have used web service to interact with MS outlook .
bye
sudhakar.m

Hi Sudhakar,
If you are used to working with ant then you can very well use eclipse to deploy your web service.
You would usually have the ant script in the source root working directory. From eclipse if you select the build file from the navigator view and right click you will see a run ant option in the pop up menu.
Select that option and you would be able to see each targets with a checkbox select option. So define each target maybe one for wsdl2java conversion, one for compilation and one for deploying your web services. You can either make all of them run by having depends option on or you can run them individually as it takes your fancy.
I am not sure about debugging a web service yet.
Hope this helps

How to develop and call Asynchronous web service

Hi All,
I need to have a java web service that will be called asynchronously.
That should execute, once triggered and caller shouldnt need to wait till its completion.
How to develop and call asynchronoue web service ?
Thanks
Saikrishna

Let your web service start its own background thread (*) somehow and move your business logic from web service to this thread. Then you can return from your web service. The client won't be blocked and your application will run on your server after service callout will be finished.
I hope that's what you need. Anyway, there is only "asynchronous communication" and nothing like "asynchronous web service". At least from HTTP point of view, every call is synchronous - you have request and response.
(*) You shouldn't start your own thread since you are in JEE world. Look at documentation for your container. E.g. for weblogic there are workers you can use this way. Or you can choose the other way. I hope that for any container you can just enqueue your web service request to any JMS queue and move your business logic to an appropriate MDB. Then, your web service will be just a simple JMS producer and your web service client won't be forced to wait for business logic to finish.
Last but not least, next time choose a better forum. :-)
