SOAP service and Input data

albertdeboer

I like to create a SOAP service, to create records of a specific Business Object. Therefore I need to send data from an external program through the SOAP service to the process.

Does someone have an example, or explanation how to do this. I've already a service available, and a process behind it. But I can't find out how to send data to the process.

You need to send a SOAP request from a third-party system to the Aware IM-based system. The Aware IM-based system must have a service defined. You will be sending the request for this service, not a process. Aware IM creates a WSDL file for all services exposed by a particular business space. The URL for this WSDL file is:

http://serverName:8080/AwareIM/services/businessSpaceName?WSDL

You can type in this URL and see the WSDL (you need to make sure that you login into the browser at least once after you publish your business space version - this is when Aware IM creates a WSDL).

The WSDL should give you an idea how to construct a SOAP request. The SOAP request should be sent to this URL:

http://serverName:8080/AwareIM/services/businessSpaceName

If you want we can publish a Java code that sends a SOAP request to an Aware IM system.

I Know how to send a SOAP message to an other system, because we using it already for other applications.

My question is how I define Input parameters in an AwareIM service. So I can send data from an other application to my AwareIM application, necessary for creating a record for a Business Object.
I can't figure out how it's work.

You define parameters for a process that implements the service, not for the service itself. Let us know if you want us to send you a sample BSV file

albertdeboer

If you have an example BSV file, it should help me. So please send me one.

Thankx

Hi support,

could you please share me the sample BSV which exposes SOAP services with parameters.

Thanks,

aware_support

There is now a video tutorial about this - all the details are there.

himanshu

Yes i watched same video but how to pass parameter into service is not shown.

It only say we can use parameter as input for process, i tried something similar but won't work.

himanshu

Is this video are you talking about ?

http://www.awareim.com/tutorials/WebServices/WebServices.html

if other then above, please let me know.

You have stated a example to pass the parameters into webservice at this post

implemented web service with input parameters please share.

Thanks,

Hi Himanshu,
Have you seen the sample bsv posted in the awareim.com community section? I dont know what it is/samples but saw it recently and it might help you on the way. I also intend to look at this in more detail for an upcoming project so please share your findings if you figure this thing out.

Regarding this functionality, I am also interested in this so if anyone knows some about this or has some examples etc, please share.
Thanks

Hi henrik,

i saw the video tutorial of web service, it works well without parameter when one instance of the object is return without parameter but when i try with the parameter it does not work.

so right now waiting for any help from support or user.

Hi Himanshu,

Did you solve this.

I am trying to expose a SOAP webservice in V6..

I got it partially working in 5.9 and when I hit http://mydomain.com/AwareIM/services?wsdl I get

And now... Some Services

wsprovider (wsdl)
GeneratePassword
DiscoverServices (wsdl)
getWSDLUrl
AdminService (wsdl)
AdminService
Version (wsdl)
getVersion

The DiscoverServices is ok, hetWSDLUrl is ok, AdminService is ok, Version is ok..... obviously these are automatically generated. But GeneratePassword (which is simply a FIND CalculatedResult process) returns...

AXIS error

Sorry, something seems to have gone wrong... here are the details:

Fault - Attempted to write schema for bad QName (no namespace) : IncomingParameters

AxisFault
faultCode: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}Server.generalException
faultSubcode:
faultString: Attempted to write schema for bad QName (no namespace) : IncomingParameters
faultActor:
faultNode:
faultDetail:

In V6 when I hot http://mydomain.com/AwareIM/services?wsdl I get...

AXIS error

Sorry, something seems to have gone wrong... here are the details:

Exception - java.lang.NullPointerException

Am lost here.

I thought it was because was trying to pass parameters so I stripped that out and now only return a string. Still no go.

Any small bsv example here would be appreciated. Even if someone can confirm that exposing a SOAP webservice actually works in V6 it would be appreciated.

Hi eagles,
I am still using ver-5.9 in my production env and evaluting current version 6.0. I have not tested SOAP sevices on v-6.0 yet. I will test and get back to you.

customaware

Thanx a heap.

Keen to know what you find. 😉

himanshu

Hi,
I have tested and it is working on v6 (2023).

customaware

Hi Himanshu,

Thanx for coming back to me.

I have been struggling with this for a week now.

I don't suppose I could impose on you for a very small trivial demo bsv
that I could test please?

himanshu

If you want to test your bsv...then i can do for you.

sorry for late replying.

Hi Himanshu,

Here is the bsv.

You can see the error when you hit my server....

The WSDD folder gets created.... Tomcat/webapps/app/WSDD and contains these two files...

Would be great if you can spot the problem and if you can get it to work from a remote place.
