Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.3.1 - Web Services - First Impressions

(Venkatakrishnan J) I was going through the new BI Publisher feature of 10.1.3.3.1 which is the Web Service APIs. Till the earlier release we only had Java APIs. But in the latest release we have the SOAP APIs or the WSDL APIs so that any end user can access the reports remotely using standard web service calls. To try this out, i had installed JDeveloper 11g Tech Preview 2. But somehow i was not able to make the Web Services work from JDeveloper. I constantly got “not a recognized SOAP header error”. So, i downloaded another tool called Mindreef SOAPScope. They provide an evaluation copy for 13 days. Well, i was literally amazed by the power of this tool. It would be good to have similar features in JDeveloper. You can download SOAPScope here.
