Fusion Middleware 12C: Deploy the MDS using Maven by Hugo Hendriks

clip_image002In two previous posts here and here, I demonstrated how you can setup CI for OFM 12C projects. One of the things I hadn’t figured out yet was how I could deploy the MDS using Maven. After a vague hint on the internet, Oracle’s response that this feature wasn’t officially supported yet and some trial and error I came across the solution. It is actually quite simple.

Basically it comes down to this:

  • Create a zip file of the files you want to stick into the MDS
  • Use the com.oracle.soa.plugin:oracle-soa-plugin:deploy maven goal to deploy it

That wasn’t that hard as you can see clip_image003Let’s go into a bit more detail. You can use a command line to create the zip or use the maven-assembly-plugin to give you a bit more flexibility. I used the last option because I wanted to filter certain files. Within my Jenkins job, I checked out my MDS files and zipped them using the package goal into a file called sca-MDS_rev1.0.jar. Look in the plugin section in the pom file down below to see about the configuration of the assembly plugin. The pom file is just a copy of a normal soa composite project.

CI using Oracle Fusion Middleware 12C: Part 2. Building a SB and SOA project using maven and the MDS by Hugo Hendriks

clip_image001In the part 1 I have shown how to setup a simple CI environment and how to build a Service Bus project using Maven. In this part I will try to make a release pipeline which builds, deploys, tests, packages and release a whole service using Jenkins and if all successful and finally install the artifact in Nexus.

Lets start where we left of. Startup Tomcat and log into Jenkins. We need some sort of plugin to be able to run multiple actions in a sequence. Jenkins has alot of plugins but the one which I am going to use is the MultiJob one. Go to Manage Jenkins->Manage plugins, choose the available tab, check the Multijob plugin and click Install without restart.

The multi-job plugin can chain jobs together and share variables and artifact between jobs. You can make very intricate jobs but for now I will keep it simple. I will make 1 job that will:

  1. Build the service bus component which also refers to a SharedObjects project and deploy it to my server
  2. Build the soa component which also refers to the MDS and deploy it to my server
  3. Run the matching soap ui test
  4. If succesfull, install the artifact to nexus

I have created a simple HelloService which first goes to the SB and then routes to a SOA component. The SB component makes use of a SharedObjects SB project which holds the WSDL and XSD. This project is setup so you don’t have to sync between this project and the MDS. This because the SB isn’t able yet to access the MDS. The SOA component does nothing else the return a string response. So the setup will look like this: Read the complete article here.
