Unleash the power of Java API’s on your WLST scripts! By Maarten Smeets

September 22, 2015 Leave a comment

Oracle SOA Suite and many other Oracle products have extensive Java API’s to expose their functionality. WLST can often be used for relatively course grained actions. WLST (the version supplied in Weblogic 12.1.3) uses Jython 2.2.1. Jython is the Python scripting language implemented on the Java Virtual Machine. Jython allows easy integration with Java. In this article I describe how you can unleash the power of these Java API’s on your WLST scripts!
Considerations

Why WLST and not Java?

For system operators, WLST is easier to work with than Java code. For Java code you need to supply all dependencies in the classpath and updating code requires recompilation. Also Java code can be a bit verbose compared to WLST code and requires (for most developers) more time to write. With a WLST script you do not need to provide dependencies since they are already present in the classpath set by the wlst.sh (of wlst.cmd) command used to start WLST scripts and you can more easily update the scripts without need for recompilation.

Why use Java classes in WLST?

In this example I wanted to create a script which undeployed composites which where not the default revision (are not called by default). Also I wanted to look at the instances. I did not want to undeploy composites which had running instances (long running instances like BPM and ACM). WLST provides some nifty features to undeploy composites; https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1213/soasuite/wlst-reference-soa/custom_soa.htm#SOACR2689 for example the sca_undeployComposite command. I did however not see WLST commands I could use to query instances.

Undeploying composites using Java

I started out with a piece of Java code shown below. In order to make the required classes available in your project, you need to import Weblogic Remote Client, JRF API and SOA Runtime (see here for a more elaborate example of using the Java API). With the Locator class you can find your composites and instances. By calling the MBean oracle.soa.config:Application=soa-infra,j2eeType=CompositeLifecycleConfig,name=soa-infra method removeCompositeForLabel you can undeploy composites from Java. This is based on what I found at Read the complete article here.

SOA Suite 12c: solving a bug by Michel Schildmeijer

September 20, 2015 Leave a comment

For a customer in the Netherlands, in the healthcare division, Qualogy is implementing Oracle SOA Suite 12c(12.1.3) and Oracle Service Bus 12c(12.1.3). For connection with a WebService to a backoffice system, we enabled SSL and the OWSM Policy oracle/wss_username_token_over_ssl_service_policy:

We enabled SSL on domain level, created the necessary keystores regarding trust and Identity. After restarting the domain, all alerts in the Fusion Middleware Console seems to have dissappeared.

Oracle raised an official bug for this, Bug 20599654 – OSB Pipeline alerts are not displayed in EM console when SSL is enabled which is under investigation at Oracle Product Development since begin of march, upto now.

What we saw appearing in the logs was that, when we enabled SSL at domainlevel, the OSB aggregator, which aggregates all OSB alert data, was not able to connect over the t3s protocol WebLogic uses for internal applications to connect with eachother over RMI. We saw these messages: Read the complete article here.

Enable SOA Composer in SOA Suite 11g by Waslley Souza

September 19, 2015 Leave a comment

When you are developing your SOA Composites in SOA Suite 11g, probably you will use DVM or Business Rules components. You can change the values of these components at runtime, and to do it, you need to use an application called SOA Composer. By default the SOA Composer is disabled. As it is an application, all you have to do is go to Console from WebLogic Server and start it.

Go to WebLogic Server Console > > Deployments.
Click the composer application.

Click Targets tab, select all components and click the Change Targets button.

BPEL-> Mediator -> BPEL: Passing Business Errors back thru Mediator by Niall Commiskey

September 17, 2015 Leave a comment

Scenario:

Sync BPEL1 calls Mediator that calls Sync BPEL2.

SyncBPEL2 throws a Business Error, Mediator needs to pass this back to SyncBPEL1.

In the following example I have the following components –

Sync BPEL 1 = BPELProcess3

Mediator = Route2BPEL1

Sync BPEL 2 = ErrorThrower

Here they are, in all their grandeur –

ErrorThrower

Note the explicit definition of the fault in the wsdl –

OSB Release Management Utility by Joao Moura

September 16, 2015 Leave a comment

Agile methodologies have increased radically the numbers of release events in organisations where it has been adopted. Both development and operations teams need to collaborate more closely during production release events requiring more than ever the right supporting tools.

How many times have you been asked what has been deployed in environment X?

If you are using CI tools and doing release management properly it should be a straightforward answer. However, software deployment comprises a set of steps involving multiple parties. As a result, the process isn’t entirely automated requiring human intervention which is susceptible to errors.

Imagine you have just delivered an OSB Production bundle to the operations guys (DBAs, Weblogic Admins…).

How can you prove that the expected jar has been deployed without looking at the source code or running any tests ?

We are using a custom Release Management Utility that saves us a lot of time and headaches ☺

· No third-party software required; It uses Hudson, SVN, Maven and OSB

· Allows users without technical knowledge to view what’s deployed

· Identifies project changes between sprints

· Track back to source code based on SVN revision

· Displays build date and version for each individual project
