Mobile ADF: Webservice Call Using Oracle ADF Mobile Framework (Android)

Web-service Call Using Oracle ADF Mobile Framework (Android)

Writing web service 

I have written a simple webservice which will take String as parameter and return result in the form of String itself.

package samplewebservice; 

import javax.jws.WebMethod; 
import javax.jws.WebParam; 
import javax.jws.WebService; 

@WebService 
public class SampleService { 

    public SampleService() { 
     super(); 
    } 

    @WebMethod 
    public String sayHello(@WebParam(name="name") String name){
      return "Hello, "+name+" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"; 
    } 
 } 

Deploying Web-service 

Once service developed you have to deploy that service on some server. I am using weblogic server to deploy HelloService(You can select any server). Start your server.

• Select Application as Mobile Application(ADF) template

• Provide application name like WebServiceCall 

• Click on finished. it will create 2 project in application ApplicationController and ViewController

• Select ApplicationController and created webservice datacontrol.

• Provide WSDL with your system IP address because localhost and 127.0.0.1 doen't work for mobile. 

• Enter webservice url and datacontrol name

• Click on next then select method and click on finished.
• Now Select the ViewController Project and Right Click and go on new.
