I’m developing a Java application that uses SAP Cloud SDK version 3.2.0. I’ve doubts about how destinations are retrieved. When I test the application by running it on my local machine, I can send a POST request to an exposed OData service without problems, the problem is when I deploy the application in an SAP Cloud Platform development account for the Neo environment, where I've created a destination called ErpQueryEndpoint and I use SAP Cloud Connector to establish the connection as shown here:

This is the application code, first a call is made to the bpCreateExtended method and this in turn calls the executeAsyncCall method, this will be executed asynchronously:

        public Object executeAsyncCall(BpCreateBasicRequest bpCreateRequest) {
        ...
    
    try {

        ODataCreateRequestImpl createRequest = new ODataCreateRequestImpl("/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZAS_BP_CREATION_SRV",
                           "BP_DATASet", bodyAsMap, null, null, null, headersAsMap, null, false, null, null, false);
        
        //Creating destination at runtime
        DefaultDestination dest = DefaultDestination.builder()
            .property("Name", "ErpQueryEndpoint")
            .property("URL", "http://crmdev:4431")
            .property("Type", "HTTP")
            .property("Authentication", "BasicAuthentication")
            .property("User", abapUser)
            .property("Password", abapPass)
            .build();
            
        HttpDestination destination = dest.asHttp();
        HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientAccessor.getHttpClient(destination);      
        Map<String, Object> resp = createRequest.execute(httpClient).asMap();
        jsonResponse = new JSONObject(resp);

    } catch (HttpServerErrorException e) {
        logger.info("504 Gateway Timeout first steep. SCP Timeout " + e.getMessage());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    
    ...
    
    return jsonResponse;
}


public Object bpCreateExtended(BpCreateBasicRequest bpCreateRequest) throws IOException {

    this.conf = ResilienceConfiguration.of(AccountBFimpl.class);
    Object response = null;


    CompletableFuture<Object> futureFirstSteep = ResilienceDecorator.queueCallable(() ->
            executeAsyncCall(bpCreateRequest), conf);

    return (JSONObject) response;
}

This is the error obtained when sending a POST request if the application has been deployed in the SAP Cloud Platform Neo development account:

ERROR#com.sap.cloud.sdk.odatav2.connectivity.cache.metadata.GuavaMetadataCache##S0020495660#ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-2#na#gfna57xvah#atlantidaapi#web##na#na#na#na#Error occurred while populating metadata : java.net.UnknownHostException: crmdev: Name or service not known

In the executeAsyncCall method, I’m creating the destination at runtime, but I don't know if the implementation is correct or if I can do something different to get the destination of the development account in SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit Neo. Can someone help me find a solution?

  • Apart from your particular error you should consider updating to version 3.11.0 to geh the latest fixes – Emdee Jan 24 '20 at 18:16
  • Thank you very much for your answer, Emdee. Unfortunately, after testing using SAP Cloud SDK version 3.11.0 the following exceptions were generated: https://i.imgur.com/O9t7DX3.png https://i.imgur.com/BsLENyP.png .I'm using Java version 1.8. – Aimee Rodríguez Jan 31 '20 at 19:34
  • Pls create a new question and add the whole Stack trace, your source code and a Description how to reproduce These exceptions – Emdee Feb 01 '20 at 16:28

Instead of

Map<String, Object> resp = createRequest.execute(httpClient).asMap();

Please use

Map<String, Object> resp = createRequest.execute("ErpQueryEndpoint").asMap();

You don't have to create the Destination manually.

Alternatively you can also use:

Destination dest = DestinationAccessor.getDestination("ErpQueryEndpoint");

Reason: By default the destination uses proxy type "Internet" (No proxy), but you want "OnPremise" to establish connectivity with the Cloud Connector.


Update: When using SAP Cloud SDK 3 please use the fitting dependency of Service SDK as well. That means, instead of...

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.sap.cloud.servicesdk</groupId>
            <artifactId>odatav2-connectivity</artifactId>
            <version>1.32.5</version>
        </dependency>

use:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.sap.cloud.servicesdk</groupId>
            <artifactId>odatav2-connectivity-sdk3</artifactId>
            <version>1.36.2</version>
        </dependency>

  • Thank you very much for your answer, Alex. Unfortunately, when I use the following code: `Map resp = createRequest.execute("ErpQueryEndpoint").asMap();` I get the error: **Handler dispatch failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sap.cloud.sdk.cloudplatform.connectivity.HttpClientAccessor.getHttpClient(Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/apache/http/client/HttpClient;** And when I try the second option to get the destination, I still have problems when I send the POST request with the application deployed in SAP Cloud Platform Neo. – Aimee Rodríguez Jan 24 '20 at 21:07
  • Pls point out which problems you face when using the DestinationAccessor – Emdee Jan 25 '20 at 10:38
  • This is a dependency issue. Please find my latest update of the answer. – Alexander Dümont Jan 27 '20 at 12:33
  • Thank you very much for your answer, Alex. Unfortunately, I get an error when adding the dependency that you indicate to me. [link](https://i.imgur.com/GWpHlPT.png) – Aimee Rodríguez Jan 31 '20 at 15:49

    Thank you very much for your answer, Alex. I managed to import the dependency you indicated to me. I realized that I had to change a configuration in my local maven repository. – Aimee Rodríguez Jan 31 '20 at 19:16

I managed to solve my problem following Alex's recommendations and adding the following lines of code below the CompletableFuture:

try {
         response = futureFirstSteep.get(5000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
        } catch (TimeoutException e) {
        logger.info("TimeoutException: ", e.getMessage());
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        logger.info("InterruptedException: ", e.getMessage());
        } catch (ExecutionException e) {
        logger.info("ExecutionException: ", e.getMessage());
    }

In this case, the get(long, TimeUnit) method of the CompletableFuture class was the key to success, although I don't know why waiting for those 5 seconds to respond to the request is what prevents the error from being generated when I execute code asynchronously with the queueCallable method of ResilienceDecorator. Thank you very much for the help, Alex and Emdee.
