We have Oracle Hyperion Master Data Management (aka Data Relationship Management) installed along with it's Web Service API, which is essentially an EAR file deployed on WebLogic. A built-in server side security policy has been attached to this web service. We have a .NET client which needs to speak to this Web Service endpoint, but we are not really sure how to set the client side security policy as defined by Oracle.
Versions used - DRM: 11.1.2.1; WebLogic: 10.3.4
I'm looking for pointers (& sample code if possible) on how we can achieve this.
Thanks.
I got the solution for this from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/web.1111/e16098.pdf. Section 5 in that document speaks of how to export the certificate from WLS and import the same into the .NET client app along w/ other config as specified in the document. Hope this helps.

We are required to build some Java JAX-RS web services that will connect to some other external web services to retrieve data. Logically, we should host these new JAX-RS web services on a container like WebLogic. Due to cost saving measures by management, we are told to use IIS to host these JAX-RS web services as it is supposedly cheaper than WebLogic. They want the services to be written in Java because it is OS independent, so using .NET is out of the question.
(1) Is using IIS to host Java JAX-RS web services instead of a fully J2EE compliant container like WebLogic to save cost a good idea?
(2) How do we host Java JAX-RS web services on IIS 7.5? What are the required add ons?
Thanks in advance.
First of all, IIS does not support Java. See this old post in MSDN (2005)
IIS can never directly support the use of JSP because it requires an add-on to run Java code in a JVM to Load,
Therefore you always require a J2EE server to execute J2EE services, and the IIS add-on isapi_redirect (see the link). The add-on will capture the requests and forward them to the J2EE server (in the example is used tomcat)
So the answer to your question
(1) Is using IIS to host Java JAX-RS web services instead of a fully J2EE compliant container like WebLogic to save cost a good idea?
No, because you allways need a J2EE server., so the cost parameter is non applicable (without considering other aspects). I suggest also to consider some free of charge servers like Jboss, Tomcat or Jetty
Note also you do not need a fully compliant J2EE server to use JAX-RS. Latest versions of JVM are shipped with an implementation of JAX-RS.
Hello stackoverflow'ers
we are currently faced with the task to support Single Sign On in our Java based web service.
The setup is like this: Linux server running Apache as a proxy -> Jetty -> Java web service.
All of this in a Windows Domain with Windows workstations as clients accessing the web service through their browser (mainly IE, some firefox).
The SSO will go through the Windows AD DC utilizing Kerberos through SPNEGO.
From what I have gathered it would be possible to implement the SSO either step of the way, in Apache, in Jetty or in the Java Code itself.
What I haven't been able to figure out so far is which approach makes the most sense in the given environment.
We obviously need to access the REMOTE_USER one way or another later on to perform further authorization in our application, but this is the only real requirement we have.
So what are the actual pro's and con's of implementing the SSO / SPNEGO on the Apache level vs. the Jetty level vs. in our own software - if there are any ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Enjoy your day,
Tom
https://github.com/michael-o/mod_spnego/ for Apache Web Server and you are done.
we are working on our graduation project project that has two main block
1- A website that is written in ASP.NET
2- A webservice that access the database (mySQL DB) , do some processing on data and communicate with that website to show the results.
We are using a java library [Apache Mahout] in that webservice to help us do that processing and that's why we need to write this webservice in JAVA
How can we create and host a Restful java webservice on Windows Azure ? What are the available options ?
Also , Is it possible to start the processing and stop it depending on a request that is sent from the website or another block (another webservice for example) ?
I hope the situation is now clear.I would appreciate if you could provide us with any resources that could help us understand how Restful java Webservice in Azure works :)
Today you have two options for running Java on Windows Azure: Cloud Services and Virtual Machines. Cloud Services (Platform as a Service) enable you to package up a web deployment (WAR) along with a JDK and your java server of choice (Jetty, tomcat, Jboss, etc) and deploy it. Your other option is to use a virtual machine (Infrastructure as a Service). You have a few different options for virtual machines (including officially supported Oracle images: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/campaigns/oracle/).
Your easiest option will be looking at Cloud Services (though this does require packaging no a Windows computer). There is a great Windows Azure plugin for Eclipse that will help you out tremendously (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/hh694271.aspx). There are also a lot of tutorials, resources, and links to references here: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/java/.
Azure websites now supports Java web applications - check it out - http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-java-get-started/ - you use the default JDK 7 with Tomcat 7.0.50 or Jetty 9.1.0 OR you can even upload your own web container and configure it as per your requirements. Please refer to the link above.
I have created a Java web service using Axis2 Framework/Eclipse and deployed it on Azure Websites.
Does Spring support SharePoint?
In my Spring Application, i would like to SAVE data in ShaePoint.
In another (java) application of ours, we are using CAML to read/update the data in SharePoint.
Do you think I should use the same(CAML) or does Spring provides any APIs which makes my job easy.
Thank You :)
EDIT: Its SharePoint 2003 and WSS 2.0
Using your Java application you should be able to send XML to the SharePoint webservices. Check this link for the WSS 3.0 web services SDK: WSS 3.0 Webservices SDK (MSDN)
AFAIK SharePoint should also support HTTP GET/POST for reading/writing data. However, in my own experience, reading/saving data from Java to SharePoint usually involves problem at the authentication level. In fact SharePoint usually uses NTLM authentication, which is hard to implement in Java. I did some experiments in the past using HttpClient and implementing NTML authentication as described here, which requires jCIFS.
Another quicker, but dirtier, option is the following. Since SharePoint ultimately stores files on the file system, just expose that path as a Windows UNC Path, and make it available from the machine where your Java application runs. Then, Java can just open a File on the UNC Path in the usual way, and everything is transparent for you application (A UNC Path will look something like \\machine-name\path\to\store). This is not very elegant, and possibly not very secure.

I have a web service that is using:
Java (familiar)
SOAP (new to me)
JBOSS (new to me)
The web service is currently unsecure. My task is to make it secure using https (ssl or tsl).
I am new to web services and web things in general. In the last week have gone through a tone of literature. Much of it which I think was not relevant to my project. I think that I need two things:
A pretty basic tutorial on web services (java specific)
A tutorial on making web services secured
Here are some of the tutorials I have gone through already:
SO Answer - In-process SOAP service server for Java
How to make a web service server.
Does not have instructions for the client.
Also does not specify what should happen so I am not certain that I got the propper result when navigating to the URL.
An Introductory Tutorial on Web Services, Java and XML
Pretty good description of lots of xml things and how messages are passed. Not certain but this seems more low level than what I need
Three Minutes to a Web Service
Good tutorial but in the second step one of the commands did not work.
I think that this may be because the tutorial is really old and maybe my jdk is differnt or something like that..
You can check out these frameworks
Apache axis
Apache cxf
The web service is currently unsecure. My task is to make it secure using https (ssl or tsl).
If it's just about (one-way) SSL, then this question doesn't have much to do with web services actually. It's more a web server or app server configuration issue. For JBoss, see SSLSetup or, if you are using Apache for the SSL encryption, see Apache SSL/TLS Encryption.
I would guess that you need to look at JBoss's documentation for how they handle security. Maybe this would help:
Chapter 8. Security on JBoss
