Mediator, the-always-give-response-pattern by using the Echo-reply by Eric Elzinga

August 25, 2017 Leave a comment

In my usecase i subscribed to an eventbus solution (rabbitmq with some custom code to be able to publish to consumers based on the soap protocol).

The backend system which generated the notications can generate the next type of events :

— employeename got changed

The current subscription mechanism only allows me to subscribe based on the value of entity.
Since i’m not interested in all EMPLOYEE related events i need to do the filtering myself.

When i register myself as consumer on the event i need to configure a soap endpoint at which the event bus will deliver the soap envelope.
The definition of this soap interface defines a http sync operation. (http 200)

This means, when the event bus tries to deliver an event and it receives back a soap response with http200, the message will be removed from the queue (i have 1 queue dedicated for my consumer application).
When the event bus tries to deliver an event and it receives back a empty response with http202, the publish on the event bus will fail since it checks on a valid soap body response.

So..this is a bit of background information. Read the complete article here.

How to call web service that uses WS-Addressing from OSB 12c by Denis Velagic

August 24, 2017 Leave a comment

One of the external systems is using web services with WS-Addressing to retrieve Login information for the user in this case it is a token number. After which this token number will be used when calling other web services from that system.

So to call this web service from Oracle Service Bus 12c we need to create correct SOAP headers to enable the WS-Addressing callout.

Short overview of WS-Addressing

WS-Addressing provides a transport-neutral mechanism to address Web services and their associated messages. Using WS-Addressing, endpoints are uniquely and unambiguously defined in the SOAP header. WS-Addressing provides two key components that enable transport-neutral addressing, including:

Endpoint reference (EPR) – Communicates the information required to address a Web service endpoint.
Message addressing properties – Communicates end-to-end message characteristics, including addressing for source and destination endpoints and message identity, that allows uniform addressing of messages independent of the underlying transport. Read the complete article here.

Cloud Control 13.2 and SOA Suite 12.2.1.1 by Matthias Fuchs

August 21, 2017 Leave a comment

The intention is to monitor a SOA/BPM Cluster installation with 2 managed servers on two hosts with Cloud Control 13.2. There is a different user for weblogic and cloud control agent.

First step is to install the agents on 2 servers. Each server has one managed server. The easiest installation for agents is to install it with AgentPull Scripts.

Here is a short script, for further information about agent install see oracle documentation.

Please replace agent_home_dir with your agent base directory

Discover the SOA/BPM domain in Cloud control. After this, we start to check the functionality of the SOA monitoring part.

Open the domain

Choose a SOA Domain – here BPM_…

Check SOA infra

click on soa infra on left menu inside middleware domain. Read the complete article here.

Are your SOA and BPM composite deployments ready for Continuous Delivery? By Craig Barr

August 20, 2017 Leave a comment

How do you automate continuous change to your environments consistently?

Consider a simple scenario. You have a Composite Application and you want to deploy it from Development/CI through to Production. Oracle provide a useful Apache Ant script for doing automated deployment of Composites with relative ease.

Now let’s consider the fact that multiple revisions of a single BPM or SOA Composite Application can be deployed side-by-side. You may choose for each change to be a new revision or for only major and breaking changes to be a new revision. Either way, your automation will probably need to consider retirement of Composite Application revisions over time. After all, you don’t want to have unused Composite Revisions hanging around in your Platform doing nothing but adding overhead.

Of course, Oracle also provide an Apache Ant script for doing automated undeployment of Composites. Unfortunately, it will fail if a composite is already undeployed. But, does this matter?

For me, this matter’s a lot. Let me explain and discuss some of the solutions for reliable Continuous Delivery of SOA and BPM Composites.

Don’t make me think

Automation should focus on taking a desired state and applying it to a target environment rather than performing a specific task which only works under certain strict conditions. In other words, an operator shouldn’t have to think too hard about whether their automated deployment is going to work, it should just work.

Idempotency

For automation to just work it should first be idempotent which means when executed with the same input more than once it should have no additional effect. Read the complete article here.

Automated Deployment to SOA Cloud Services using Developer Cloud Services by Roland Koenn

August 18, 2017 Leave a comment

Introduction

The process of deploying SOA Projects to Oracle SOA Cloud Services (SOACS) can be significantly simplified and streamlined using the Oracle Developer Cloud Services (DevCS) by facilitating the inbuilt Maven and GIT repositories. This article is a walk-through on how create a SOA Project in JDeveloper and get it deployed on SOACS using DevCS. It is based on Windows, but other operating systems work in a very similar way. The following graphic shows the simplified process.

Prerequisites

JDeveloper: Download and install SOA Suite 12.1.3 QuickStart from OTN. This contains the JDeveloper version required for this example. Please note that this example will work for SOA 12.2.1 as well, but you will additionally need to follow the steps described in My Oracle Support (MOS) note2186338.1

Maven: Download and install Maven from here.

Access to a Oracle SOA Cloud Services 12.1.3 instance. Details can be found here.

Access to Oracle Developer Cloud Services – this comes as part of the SOA Cloud Services subscription. You will receive an email with details on how to login with the subscription activation.

Creating the GIT repository

Login to the Oracle Developer Cloud Services and Select Create New Project. I am going with a Private Project, but using the Shared project is identical. Make sure to select an Empty Project and select your favourite Wiki Markup. Read the complete article here.
