• Error with the WSDL URL to point to the Proxy in Oracle Service Bus

  Hi all
  
  First, I present the context and then I explain my problem. I hope that this will be clear enough.
  
  I am trying to learn SOASuite. I'm trying to follow a tutorial from the following book: "getting started with Oracle SOA Suite 11 g R1: a tutorial".
  
  I installed the SOA Suite 11.1.1.6 on Windows XP.
  
  Here, there is a link to the page of the book: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/11gthebook-101473.html. On this page there is a link to a zip containing the used book sources. In the "solutions" folder, there is only one folder by chapter with the proposed solution for this chapter.
  
  I made the tutorial until Chapter 10, and I have a problem with the end of the chapter 11 dealing with the OSB. Thus, all work until Chapter 10 (inclusive).
  
  The application that the tutorial 'Création' is a purchase order processing application. The following link gives access to the book in google books: http://books.google.be/books?id=ZP9PClWesncC & printsec = frontcover & dq = Getting + Started + With + Oracle + SOA + Suite + 11 g + R1 + % E2% 80% 93 + A + hands-on + Tutorial & source = bl & to ots = gr8rTsRfHv & to GIS = Dcnu6pfY4JrEjuDrLYcgHwW - H4 & hl = en & to her = X & ei = AzcuUPX5C42KhQfgxIGQBQ & to ved = 0CD0Q6AEwAQ #v = onepage & to q = Getting % 20Started % 20With % 20Oracle % 20SOA % 20Suite % 2011 g % 20R1% 20% E2% 80% 93% 20 A % 20Hands - we % 20Tutorial & f = false
  
  The tutorial scenario is explained in Chapter 3, and there is an overview of the tutorial chapters.
  
  
  
  Now, I'll explain my problem. At some point in my application, I have to call my POProcessing application validation of credit service (using OSB). To do this in Oracle Business Bus, I joined the validation service of credit cards as a Business Service. Then, I created a Proxy Service. Not until then, no problem.
  
  The project is called 'Credit Services', the proxy file 'ProxyServices' and the name of the service is "ValidateCredit" type "Service WSDL. I imported a WSDL with name of the resource 'ValidateCredit-wsdl. This WSDL is here connected with the ValidateCredit service.
  
  Once the configuration (business service, proxy service, mail flow) and after having tested this configuration, the next step is to change the reference link to the function 'getCreditCardStatus' in jDeveloper, to invoke the virtualized service OSB. getCreditCardStatus is the name of the web service in the "composite.xml" that is related to the release of the credit function.
  
  Thus, in JDeveloper, I open the "composite.xml" file in the POProcessing project and I have change the reference of the getCreditCardStatus by giving the new url of WSDL (Proxy).
  
  The problem is the URL of the WSDL.
  In the configuration of the Proxy Service, the URI of enlightened endpoint is: / Credit_Services/ProxyServices/ValidateCredit
  The OSB server is on localhost, port 7001.
  
  When I enter the following WSDL URL: http://localhost:7001 / Credit_Services/ProxyServices/ValidateCredit? WSDL, jdevelopper complains: "error reading wsdl file http://localhost:7001 / Credit_Services/ProxyServices/ValidateCredit? WSDL. Exception: WSDLException: faultcode = OTHER_ERROR: cannot read the WSDL for http://localhost:7001 / Credit_Services/ProxyServices/ValidateCredit? "WSDL: WSDL not found."
  
  When I enter the same link in my browser, I get a ' error 404 - not found "...
  
  
  Could you help me please? Any idea is welcome.
  
  I tried to restart the servers, to slightly change the url, to remove the space in the name of 'credit Services '... When I do the test in OSB, all right, and the URI parameter is always/Credit_Services/ProxyServices/ValidateCredit.
  
  I also noticed in console (WebLogic domain) Administration, in Web Deployment/Monitoring/applications, there is a single line with context root "/ Credit_Services/ProxyServices/ValidateCredit" but the State is empty (as opposed to others with a status of 'Active'). Despite this, the 'State' in 'Settings' of the Proxy Service in the console of the OSB is checked.
  
  In addition, the URL of the WSDL I provided when I imported the WSDL in OSB, is correct (and works in a browser). When I look at the console of the OSB, the WSDL is imported goods and everything seems well configured.
  
  once more, any idea is welcomed :)
  
  Thanks in advance,
  
  Sophie

  Hope that you would like to have checked, but there is no harm to recheck the information below.

  Connect on weblogic admin url on your left under the structure of the domainwindow, click on Server, on your right, see what is the listen port configured for the server of the OSB.
  Try with this port number, if you have not tried before to try now.

  Hope your proxy OSB is basic SOAP, if your OSB is restful service so you won't be able to get how you try.
  To access the service restful, we follow a different approach.

  Thank you

• Generate class files using the WSDL url and wsimport

  I am trying to create a java application that hits the service exposed by hub.

  To create the application in java, I'm generating class files using the WSDL that is created and exposed by the hub.

  Executed steps:

  1 created an application in OPA.

  2. deployed on the hub (usinf deploy option of snapshot on Policy Modeling)

  3. in the deployment tab, I see the request and get the url of the wsdl by clicking on it.

  I try on this wsdl wsimport command. But it gives me following error messages.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  C:\***\AllFiles > wsimport http://localhost:7001/hub/determinations-Server/assess/SOAP/generic/12.2/AttemptOne?WSDL

  the analysis of WSDL...

  [ERROR] invalid WSDL http://localhost:7001/hub/determinations-Server/assess/SOAP/generic/12.2/AttemptOne?WSDL , expected {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/} html (line 2) data definitions

  Cannot read the WSDL document: ( http://localhost:7001/Hub/determinations-Server/assess/SOAP/Generic/12.2/AttemptOne?WSDL , because 1) did not find the document. (/ 2) the document could not be read. (3) the element the document root is not < wsdl:definitions >.

  [ERROR] WSDL:service is not found in the WSDL (s) provided:

  At least a WSDL with definition of at least one service must be provided.

  Unable to parse the WSDL file.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  If I store the wsdl file in a file on my local computer, and then run wsimport, it generates the classes very well.

  Can someone provide me with a way that I can generate the classes using the wsdl url and not the local file?

  Also, do I need to create a connection in the Connections tab on the hub?

  Thanks in advance.

  -Alain

  Looks like you could run in the user authentication when wsimport runs against the WSDL. Instead of the WSDL, its reception, the login page.

  The best way to work around this problem is perhaps what you do already - to obtain the wsdl and save them in a file.

  Another solution is to disable the restriction of connection to the Web Service API. You can do this in the menu on the users page (admin role can turn on and off.

  You can switch between a user and a password with the call of the WSDL file, but I don't know if its possible to do with wsimport

  See you soon

• &amp; quot; Security for access to the url error &amp; quot;

  Hello
  I have two problems,
  an I get error of scripts cross-domain as indicated in the title of the message is to say "security to access the url error.
  I tried to access using webserice and http service requesta and a web service request. I kept getting the same error. I tried to put the crossdomain.xml file in the root of the server and he had no luck either. Any suggestions would be helpful.
  one of the operations in the wsdl file is called getlookupvalues, and it takes 4 parameters, database, username, password and lookupid. the lookupID is a GUID.
  When I tried to create a request to getlookupvalues with the above parameters that it kept giving me compile erros saying incompatible correlation of type guid and string. Think is because I am past the guid as a string. A way to pass a guid as a guid instead of a string?

• Provide the Webservice not generating corresponding WSDL URL link based on the service operation.

  Hi all

  The webservice to provide link generates the corresponding WSDL URL based on the Service operation.

  For example, we currently have two service operations namely creating and updating. We use the e-mail of lines. Provide the Webservice correct WSDL URL generated link to the create operation, but it provides the same URL for the update operation as well. kindly share your knowledge if you guys ever faced similar problem.

  Concerning

  Lherault

  Hakan,

  I agree with you that service operations are childs of Services. I am trying to create URLS for the operations of specific service because of the requirement. So if this is the case, then the URL must be different, I think. I tried your logic of selection of all service operations and generate a unique URL for this service. But when I tried to open the URL in Internet explorer all I could find under the label of operation name is a Service operation and not any other selected. I went and checked under the UTILITIES SERVICE--> Service of Directors. Under the WSDL of the Service operation generaed I deleted the existing generated WSDL and then recreated the URL of the web service to provide and the problem is solved. Thanks for your time and effort Hakan... Very much appreciated.

• Create the resource (WSDL) URL through proxy of the company?

  OSB, I create a resource from a URL (WSDL) but I'm getting a "no resource found.
  
  I'm using this service to test...
  http://webservicex.NET/StockQuote.asmx?WSDL
  
  I suspect its because he needs route although our company proxy. Can I set this up in the Console of Administration Weblogic or OSB?
  
  I set the proxy in the OSB, but it seems that I can only assign to a business service at this point, but I can't create my business until I load in the WSDL url.
  
  This works very well for inside WSDL inside our network. Do anyone know how to configure weblogic or VSOs to take traffic through a proxy company so we can find the wsdl for test on an external network?
  
  Thank you!

  Hi Cory,.

  SB Console go to System Administration > global resources > Proxy servers... Add a new proxy server here...

  Your Business Service, you configure the proxy under Advanced Configuration of Transport HTTP server...

  You can create file WSDL on Console SB by copying and pasting the content of the WSDL...

  I hope this helps...

  See you soon,.

• JAXB on WSDL mapping error

  Hello.
  
  I have a problem creating web service proxy in JDeveloper by using particular WSDL. As I explored deeply the cause of an error, I found complexType by name 'objectFactory' inside the WSDL that is mapped by JAXB ObjectFactory object. The tag inside the WSDL file is:
  
  < name XS: complexType = "objectFactory" > < xs: SEQUENCE / > < / xs: complexType >
  
  And that causes the error described below. Now the problem is ObjectFactory is also a name for the definition of the object inside Java.
  
  Hope that I was clear enough. Is it possible to avoid this situation?

  ObjectFactory is a special class used by jaxb, then you must rename the class that is generated for the wsdl file. You can rename objects using a binding file, see here for more details:

  Hi all

  We are on EMP 11.1.2.4 on redhat linux.

  We had applied the corrective update on EMP 11.1.2.3 EMP 11.1.2.4 upgrade.

  We have essbase and planning an application.

  After you apply the update, we have a weird problem with the url for the workspace.

  When enter us the workspace url in the web browser, it gets hang poping, loading only screen.

  http://Linux_server:19000 / workspace /.

  
  

  but when we are listening post like 28080 then it will ask for user name and password to connect.

  http://Linux_server:28080 / workspace /.

  
  

  After that we disconnected and again go to workspace url using the port 19000

  http://Linux_server:19000 / workspace /.

  then only it works, workspace is opened without any problem

  
  

  
  

  
  

  does anyone have idea?

• Multiple URLS, error #1109

  Hello

  I'm new to Flash and AS3 so please bear with me

  I'm finishing a project ad that will go on the my school website. There are five ads (video clips) that allows to scroll once before coming to rest. From there, the user can hit a button nav (four video clips) to display a particular ad and click on it, taking him to an outside website or a page on our site. However, I hit a snag involving the #1109 error.

  Here's the actionscript code that I use for the first trailer (which works fine):

  
  

  var url1:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.google.com'");

  function onClick1(event:MouseEvent):void
  {
  navigateToURL (url1);
  }
  advert1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1);
  advert1.buttonMode = true;

  When I copy, paste and make changes for the second link, like this:

  var url2:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.cnn.com'");

  function onClick2(event:MouseEvent):void
  {
  navigateToURL (url2);
  }
  advert2.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2);
  advert2.buttonMode = true;

  I get error 1109:

  TypeError: Error #1009: cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
  at NBPL_ad_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

  Does that mean, exactly?

  (I scoured the web for solutions and those that I managed to find either one) don't work or b) involve techniques of ActionScript, I'm not familiar with that.

  Any help offered would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

  to confirm:

  Comment mentioning advert2 all the code and see if the error message is no longer.

  or, better yet, click on file/publish setting/flash/permit debugging and check the number of the line referenced in your error message.
