Article published | Fault Handling and Prevention (II) by Ronald van Luttikhuizen & Guido Schmutz

July 11, 2013 1 Comment

Oracle Technology Network (OTN) published the article Fault Handling and Prevention – Part 2 (Fault Handling and Prevention for Services in Oracle Service Bus) by Ronald van Luttikhuizen and Guido Schmutz.

Figure 1Part 1 of this article series on Fault Handling and Prevention discussed what fault handling is and why it is important. It also addressed the specific challenges in handling faults in a service-oriented landscape as compared to traditional systems. Part 1 concluded by presenting a sample scenario, an Order process implemented in a BPM and SOA environment, discussed potential pitfalls, and described generic fault prevention and recovery patterns.

Part 2 concentrates on concrete fault handling and prevention measures in the integration layer that are realized through Oracle Service Bus (OSB). The integration layer covers typical elements and integration functionality, such as Adapters for connectivity to back-end systems, Routing, Transformation, and Filtering.

SOA Suite definitive guide to: The UMS adapter (11.1.1.7) by Amis

July 10, 2013 2 Comments

This week Oracle released it sixth patchset (11.1.1.7) of the SOA Suite and it’s IDE JDeveloper. In this new release there are some small changes in the IDE, but there are also some mayor changes like two new adapters; healthcare and the UMS (User Messaging Service). This blog will look into the use of the UMS adapter as a inbound and outbound service in a SOA Composite. This adapter was already available as beta in PS5 but now it is an official adapter.

By using the UMS (User Messaging Service) adapter as an inbound service you can initiate a instance of a SOA composite by receiving a email message on one or more configured recipients. By using the UMS adapter as an outbound service you can send email messages to one or more recipients with an optional option to send data message as an attachment.

Scroll to: Inbound UMS adapter | Custom Java CallOut | Outbound UMS adapter | Server Configuration | Testing Adapter

Let’s get into the basics

There are two parts to this adapter; one is the implementation in your SOA composite and the second one is the configuration of the USM adapter that is deployed within Weblogic. The implementation uses inbound and outbound connection factories which need to be configured in Weblogic before the SOA Composite is deployed.

Let’s say the context of this example is to register new employees, created in the CRM system, to go through the SOA Suite to provision other systems. Changes made by one of these systems need to be pushed back to the CRM system. The CRM system can only be coupled via email.

Inbound UMS adapter

First we look into the implementation within the SOA Composite using JDeveloper 11.1.1.7.  For this example just create a new SOA project with an empty composite. Let’s start with the UMS adapter as an inbound service. In the composite editor drag the UMS adapter service adapter from the component palette to the exposed services swim lane. Read the full article here.

Drag UMS adapter to Exposed services

Building OSB projects with Maven and removing the eclipse dependency by Mark Nelson

July 9, 2013 Leave a comment

osbIn this earlier post, I talked about a way to automate the build and deployment for OSB, but I did not go so far as to get that working in Maven, though you certainly could.  But, OSB PS6 has added a new tool called configjar which lets you build a sbconfig.jar file without needing to have eclipse/OEPE/OSB IDE installed on the machine where you are doing the build.  You do still need OSB, but removing that IDE dependency is a big step forward.

You can find configjar sitting under your Oracle_OSB1/tools/configjar directory in your OSB PS6 installation.  There is a readme file there that tells you how to use it from ANT and WLST.  Here, I want to show you how to use it from Maven, and therefore Hudson, etc. too.

For this post, I went into the OSB IDE and created a simple project called osbProject1 which contains a single Proxy Service called (imaginatively) ProxyService1.  It is just a plain old ‘any’ proxy service with essentially no implementation at all.  But it is enough to do what we need to do. Read the full article here.

SOA Version Control by Mark Nelson

July 8, 2013 Leave a comment

This article is a part of a series on SOA Development and Delivery.

Let’s get started on our SOA Development and Delivery journey by talking about version control.  But before we delve right in, let’s take a moment to reflect on this axiom:

Axiom 1: Developing a SOA Composite Application is software development.

When we sit down to create a SOA Application, i.e. composites, user interfaces, services, etc., we are actually embarking on a software development exercise.  I think that some people do not believe (or at least they do not admit to themselves) that this is the case.  Why?  Well acknowledging that it is, in fact, software development implies a whole bunch of practices are necessary – like version control and testing for example.  And those are hard, right?

Well, they are certainly more work.  But its a bit like insurance – it is a cost you accept in the present to offset or prevent a much more significant potential cost/pain in the future.  In their quintessential book Continuous Delivery, Dave Farley and Jez Humble say: “In software, when something is painful, the way to reduce the pain is to do it more frequently, not less.”

Putting in the extra effort upfront will save you from a lot more pain and effort later on.  Using version control fits into this category.  It can be a bit painful, but it is definitely

worth it in the end.  Consider this axiom:

Axiom 2: Developing software without version control is like mixing chemicals without reading the labels – sooner or later, it is going to blow up in your face.

Why is this true?  Consider the following questions – how would you answer these if you are not using version control? Read the full article here.
