JMS Request Reply Interaction Pattern in Soa Suite 11g

In Soa Suite 11g the JMS adapter has support for request reply operations. You can use this operation in synchronous or asynchronous mode. In this blog I will show you both modes. I start with a Asynchronous example and at the end I describe the synchronous mode.

Asynchronous Request / Reply
First we start with a simple Asychronous request and reply JMS adapter. Add a JMS adapter to the references site of the composite.

Choose Request/ Reply and off course asynchronous

Select a request queue ( need to create this in the wls console ) and provide the jndi name of jms resource adapter ( define this in the jms resource adapter ) . Very important use a xa transacted jms connection factory in the jms resource adapter and leave the rest as default.

In the Reply we provide the response queue and use the same jms resource adapter jndi name of the request

Provide the request and response element.

With this as result.

Now we can use this jms adapter in a asynchronous Mediator or in a synchronous BPEL process.
First we start with the mediator. Add a Mediator with the same input and output as the jms adapter
Wire the JMS adapter to this Mediator so we can define the routing rules.

With this as result.

Because this asynchronous service is hard to test, so I will also make a synchronous BPEL process which calls this asynchronous jms adapter with a invoke and receive activity.
Add a BPEL process with the same input and output as the jms adapter

Here an overview of the BPEL process with the invoke and receive activity

Picture of my test composite


For testing we need to transfer the jms message from the request queue to the reply queue. So I add a mediator with a consume and produce jms adapter.

Very important, we need to assign the message id of the jms message to the correlation id of the reply jms message. Do this in the assign of the routing rule.

Last thing is to test the BPEL process in the enterprise manager

With this as result.

Synchronous Request / Reply
The synchronous request reply jms adapter works a bit different then asynchronous.
In step 6 we now select synchronous


In step 7 we can provide the request and reply queue. But very important we to provide the jndi name of a jms resource adapter which has transacted on true and use a jms connection factory which is not xa transacted.
With synchronous jms adapter I had to switch the request and response element. Very strange ( is it a bug ).

This synchronous jms message is a bit different, this message has the JCA_JMSReplyTo field which contains the reply queue name.

Now for testing we also need to add an extra mediator with reads the request queue , set the correlation id and put the message in the reply queue.

Add a synchronous mediator and wire to the synchronous jms adapter, complete the routing rule and finally test this in the enterprise manager.

  2. Hi

    you can download it here

    off course you need to create 4 queues and 2 connections factories and configure two jms adapters resource adapters

  3. Hi Edwin,
    I am trying to invoke OSB Proxy service via JMS Adapter from a BPEL process. The underlying Business Service points to a composite deployed in SOA Suite 11g.I have tested the proxy service in OSB console and it works fine.
    Can you explain, how to setup the correlation between invoke and receive activities in this case

    Thanks in advance,

    ok is this your situation
    bpel in composite -> jms adapter -> proxy service -> business service -> back to bpel

  5. Hi Edwin,
    Yes.I am trying to implement the scenario described in (http://oracle-soa-interop.blogspot.com/2009/02/osb-proxy-service-invocation-from-bpel.html)

    Composite A is virtualised by OSB through a Business Service and associated Proxy Service which uses JMS as transport. I have tested the proxy service in OSB web console and have confirmed that once I invoke the proxy service , the composite (B) in SOA Suite is invoked and a message is put in the response queue.

    I want to call the proxy from a different composite (Composite B) through a BPEL process using JMS Adapter Async Request/Reply. I am facing 2 issues

    1. The request queue in OSB expects a SOAP message whereas the message passed from the JMS Adapter is not a SOAP message. Is it possible to wrap up the message in a SOAP envelope

    2. How do I setup a correlation between invoke and receive activities in BPEL

    Thanks for your help

  6. Hi,

    1 can you use messaging in the proxy service

    2 in the proxy service flow you can set the transport header property correlationId on the business service.

    hope this helpls

  7. Hi,

  8. Hi,
    Thanks for your help with this.I am trying something on similar lines. I have not created any JMS resources (through the WLS console) on OSB. My proxy service is based on an existing business service (which points to a composite in SOA Suite)

    On the second page in the OSB proxy service creation wizard , I specify the transport as JMS and specify a request Q name and a response Q name. These queues were automatically created when I tested the proxy service.

    For testing the proxy in OSB , I had to create a Business Service as specified in (http://eelzinga.wordpress.com/2009/08/06/oracle-service-bus-jms-requestresponse-response-doesnt-arrive/) and when I provide a payload to test this business service, I get the response message in the response Q

    So as per (http://eelzinga.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/oracle-service-bus-jms-requestresponse-pattern/) , I might need to change my proxy service type to Any XML Service and in the message flow of the proxy service , perform a service callout to the Business service (which points to the SOA suite composite).

    Can you confirm if the approach is correct

  9. Hi Edwin,
    Can you please help with this: We would like to send a JMS request to a system and wait for response (Synchrnous Request Reply). But according to documentation of JMS adapter (Step 6 snapshot of your article) it can be used in reverse situation i.e. BPEL receives a message on qeueue and replies to another queue. Can you please advise if it can be used in the scenario i described. BPEL sends a request and gets a response on a response queue.

    Thank you,
    Sohel.

  10. Hi Prasanna,

    you don't need to change the proxy to any xml, messaging is fine

  11. Hi Sohel

    No I can not use it on the service interface, not with jdeveloper maybe this is a bug. I know it can be done in OSB .

    you can always jms adapter at the service side and bpel in the middle and a jms adapter on the reference side and set the jms correlation id on the reference jms adapter.

  12. Hi Edwin.

    You said that we have to configure 2 JMS resource adapters. Can you please explain this more??

    What I understand is that there are two options:
    1) We have to create a new Resource Adapter that will contain the new CF. If you have followed this way, could you share your CustomJMSAdapter.rar?
    2) (If this is really an option) Change the already existed "JmsAdapter.rar" under '$Fusion_Middleware_Home/Oracle_SOA1', and add our new CF. Then redeploy it.

    Which option is preferred?

    If I use the already existed "eis/wls/Queue" what do I loose?
    I saw that this CF, in weblogic-ra.xml, is XA enabled, but the property IsTransacted=false. Could this lead to a problem?

    Thanks in advance,

  13. Hi,

    You said that we have to configure 2 JMS resource adapters. Can you please explain this more??

    Sorry you need to configure 2 configurations in the jms resource adapter. One with a XA CF and One with a normal CF

    Don't need to copy or change jar files.

    If I use the already existed "eis/wls/Queue" what do I loose?

    nothing you can add your own filter

    I saw that this CF, in weblogic-ra.xml, is XA enabled, but the property IsTransacted=false. Could this lead to a problem?

  14. Hi Edwin,

    thanks for your reply.

    Can I ask you one more thing.
    You wrote this:
    "Very important, we need to assign the message id of the jms message to the correlation id of the reply jms message".

    Which is the reason to do this?
    If you do not set the 'JMSMessageID', what you will loose?

    Thanks again,
    Rick

  15. Hi Rick

    If you do not set the 'JMSMessageID', what you will loose?

    you won't loose the message but Soa suite can not find the return message and the bpel process won't continu.

  16. Hi Edwin,
    Thanks for such a good explanation.

    I am working on the Synchonus Request Reply.

    "jms resource adapter which has transacted on true and use a jms connection factory which is not xa transacted"

    On weblogic console
    Deployment>JMSAdapter>Configuration>Outbound Connection Pools

    I tried creating normal CF using oracle.tip.adapter.jms.IJmsConnectionFactory. ( Assumeing this support nonxa CF)

    The new jndi- eis/NonXAQueue/demo

    The Outbound Connection Properties are -

    ConnectionFactoryLocation = jms/aNonXADemoCF

    IsTransacted = false ( as my WLS JMS is running in the local JVM, the same one as the adapter i.e.on same machine). Do i need to set it to true.

    To set to non-XA. the transaction support level parameter of this outbound connection pool is set to "Local Transaction". Is this correct?

    I am using this JNDI name for connecting to inbound/ outbound queues.

    My Bpel process is NOT blocking but in Invoke it produce message in the OUT queue and does not wait for message in Inbound queue.

    Please suggest what is missing here?
    Thanks,
    Shailesh

  17. Hi,

    somehow you got an other problem. if you put transacted on false in the resource adapter then xa is disabled and does the logging of the instance say, maybe a timeout.

  18. Dear Edwin!!!

    Thanks for a neat explanation. I am working on a use case, where I need to orchestrate BPEL with Async Req/Reply JMS Adapter with content-based correlation and it somehow does not work.

    I was able to perform the scenario by configuring two JMS adapters, one producing/enqueuing the message and another consuming/dequeueing the message. The receive activity then correlates the incoming message and appropriate instance progresses.

    Can you please throw some light on where I might have faulted.

  19. Hi,

    Strange i did the same with BPEL and async jms request and reply.

    I just used the invoke and receive nothing special.

    thanks Edwin

  20. Dear Edwin!!!

    The scenario that you have explained has native correlation (using JMSMessageId and JMSCorrelationId), I want to use the content-based correlation, i.e., using orderId (a unique field in my payload) as correlation id, which does not work, it gives me an error saying -

    "The property alias was not defined correctly in the BPEL/WSDL source, or the payload is not as expected.
    Check the BPEL/WSDL source to ensure that property alias is defined correctly.
    ORABPEL-03813

    Failed to evaluate correlation query.
    failure to evaluate the correlationAlias query "/client:process/client:input" on the element ">process xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ApplJMS/JMSTest/JMSOut"<
    >input<123>/input<
    >/process>"

    But the same steps used with two JMSAdapters using Producer and Consumer, works fine. Hence, I know how to use content-based correlation.

    This thing is stumping me. If you want I can post the codebase at a place u want so that you can have a good look at it.

  21. Hi,

    And when you use a mediator and in the assign under the routing rule set the jca.jms.JMSMessageID to this order id, does it work then.

  26. Dear Edwin!!!

    As I said, I am able to correlate the process using JMSMessageId.

    What I am interested in is to create Correlation Set on my invoke, and check the incoming message for specified property to match the reply to request. Something like-

    <a href="http://swapnil-soa.blogspot.com/2008/01/correlation-this-post-would-effort-to.html>this link</a>

    Further More I am able to do this, if I use

    WS_Client -> Receive

    Invoke -> JMSProducer

    Receive <- JMSConsumer

    Terminate

    But if I try

    WS_Client -> Receive

    Invoke ->
    }JMSAsyncReqRep
    Receive <-

    Terminate

    the correlation, using correlation set does not work. Hope I am able to to put the picture clearer.

  29. Hi Edwin,

    Is it possible in 11g to have BPEL use a JMS Adapter which puts a message in a JMS Request Queue and then a Message Driven Bean places a message in a JMS Response queue when complete?

    Thanks and great blog!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hi,

    That will work perfectly, the only thing you have to do, is to set the correlationID in the MDB on the JMS message in the Response queue.

    thanks

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thanks for the response. In the MDB when I try and do the response message I get a rejected message in onReject on the BPEL process. The message in the logs is that there is no callback defined in the composite. I have no Mediator just a BPEL process, a MDB, and an invoke and receive on the JMS Adapter.

    ReplyDelete
  32. And this is the specific error we get in the logs..Again we have no Mediator. We have a Composite with a BPEL process that calls a JMS Adapter. The JMS Adapter puts the message in the request queue the Message Driven Bean picks it up, does some processing and then puts a message in the response queue. This is the result of the message being put in the response queue by the MessageDrivenBean.

    Thanks so much for any help!!

  34. Thank you so much!!!

    It worked perfectly. In the MDB I set the JMSCorrelationId to the incoming MessageId and it works.

    This allows us to just have a composite with one BPEL process and an asynch JMS Adapter call. The MDB puts then puts message in the response queue.

    See code below:

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    sb.append("");
    sb.append("Here is the response!!!");
    sb.append("");

    message.setText(sb.toString());
    message.setJMSCorrelationID(messageId);

  35. Hi Edwin,

    I have a scenario where there is integration between a portal and a billing system using OSB. The use case is that the user fills a form in the portal and submits an order. The order details are sent to the billing system via the OSB and the billing system comes up with an order id which then needs to be displayed in the portal.

    The billing system exposes a web service to integrate with OSB and portal can make a web service call to the OSB.

    A very familiar use case but the requirements are that the order should be persisted and no duplication. QOS (reliability) is a major non-functional requirement.

    What are the approaches available to solve this kind of use case where reliability in synchronous communication is the key.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hi Ananya ,

    In your wsdl of your OSB proxy service you can add a reference to the DefaultReliability.xml policy just like adding a security policy ( see my blog about osb and ws-security)

    this solves the portal to osb part. the billing system has to do the same, don't know if the billing is capable of supporting Reliable Messaging.

    and off course you need to handle possible error in the proxy flow so that you can not loose messages.

    or use a persistent jms queue in the middle, so you can resume from there

    thanks
    More information

    Predefined Reliable Messaging Policy Files

    As described in Use of WS-Policy Files for Web Service Reliable Messaging Configuration, WebLogic Web Services use WS-Policy files to enable a destination endpoint to describe and advertise its Web Service reliable messaging capabilities and requirements. These WS-Policy files are XML files that describe features such as the version of the supported WS-ReliableMessaging specification, the source endpoint's retransmission interval, the destination endpoint's acknowledgment interval, and so on.

    Oracle Service Bus includes two simple reliable messaging WS-Policy files that you can use (only with the WS-RM transport) if you do not want to create your own WS-Policy files:

    * DefaultReliability.xml—Specifies typical values for the reliable messaging policy assertions, such as inactivity timeout of 10 minutes, acknowledgement interval of 200 milliseconds, and base retransmisstion interval of 3 seconds. See DefaultReliability.xml WS-Policy File for the actual WS-Policy file.
    * LongRunningReliability.xml—Similar to the preceding default reliable messaging WS-Policy file, except that it specifies a much longer activity timeout interval (24 hours.) See LongRunningReliability.xml WS-Policy File for the actual WS-Policy file.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Hi Edwin,

    Thanks for your valuable inputs.
    But the issue with WS-RM is our web services that are JAX-WS based and OSB/WLS doesn't support WS-RM standard for JAX-WS based web services (the support is only for JAX-RPC based web services). So we can't use WS-RM here.

    My thoughts about use of JMS -
    If we use JMS in between then it would be a SOAP-HTTP call from Portal to ESB. Inside the ESB we will persist the request using JMS queue and then pass the request to Billing system which is again SOAP-HTTP call. Now when the response (orderid)comes from billing system we can put it into another response queue and send it back to the Portal. But the issue is how do we correlate the request and the response such that we know that the response is for which specific request. We can use JMS request/reply pattern but the billing system doesn't provide the flexibility to add the correlation id in the response (I am not sure about this bit but I assume that the correlation id doesn't get added automatically in the response and needs to be added by the billing system.)

    Correct me if I am wrong in my understanding about the use of JMS.
    Since the billing system is a black box and doesn't provide flexibility to add correlationid in the response this solution also doesn't seem feasible.

  38. Hi,

    is the billing a synchronous web service? if so then you don't have a difficult problem. Async is more complex

    make a ws proxy service which puts a message on a persistent queue with some jmsmessageid (jms business service )
    and the second jms proxy calls the billing system (ws business service) and puts the message back on the queue and fills the jms correlation id. Then the first picks its up ( maybe it is good to make the first proxy a async ws so you can recover the portal ws call by putting

    hope this helps

    ReplyDelete
  39. Hi Edwin,

    Thanks for all your valuable inputs.

    Yes the billing web service is asynch and the portal can't wait for the response (orderid) from the billing service. The portal needs to display some sort of interim orderid quickly back to the user and then later the user can use that interim order id to search the order and check it's status.

    Please suggest you thoughts in such a scenario. Is there a pattern to take care of such cases or what is the suggest way to solve this kind of issue.

    Thanks and Regards
    Ananya

  40. Hi,

    Ok I don't know if you can change the portal but the portal can generate a unique id and call a one way service ( fire and forget ) and this service call the async billing service. when the service get a reply back from the billing service it can gives the real order id back to the portal together with the unique id. or it can fill a xref table .

  41. Hi,
    First, I'll like to thank you for your article.On the other hand, just like some older post, I'm trying to use a message correlation, but the difference is that I'm using two simple adapters one for creating messages in one project, and another to consume them in some other different composite, so ,by the way I see it, there's no request/response scensario, on the second composite i've defined a property alias related to the message type of the consumer adapter.Everything compiles ok, but on runtime i get the infamous failure to evaluate the correlationAlias query exception. Is a must to use the mediator on 11 in order to do so? Thanks for your clarification

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hi,

    with the mediator or BPEL it should work fine.

    you can set in a Mediator assign or BPEL invoke a jms property like
    jca.jms.JMSProperty.country and add a value to this.

    and in the consuming jms adapter add in the message selector country='xxx'

    hope this helps

  43. Hi ,
    I am using JMS Request Response option in the JMS Adapter in one of my service service1. My service would send a message to a Queue A using JMS adapter asyncronously and waits for the response by listening to Queue B.
    For the performance testing of this service I am using a stub which would read the messages being sent by my webservice from Queue A and pushes the response to Queue B ( By setting the corellation id to the message id of the request message).
    This works fine when the number of messages i send from service A are limited, but would break ones the number of invocations of service1 increases.

    The following error comes when I run, The error obviously says that it is unable to correlate, but wanted to know why its unable to correlate only when I am increasing the frequency of invocation of service1.

  44. Hi,

    it looks a problem on the soa or jms server, you can use a different jms server then the soa server. or use a file persistence for your jms server.

    I think you are reaching a memory or thread problem. for asyn it need to have a lot of listening processes. maybe you can tweak the threads in soa server.

  46. Hi,

    Dont know if the jms adapter is cluster aware, I think it listen on a queue on a managed node. When the msg is delivered on the other managed node. then you need to make sure that the msg is automatic transfered to the other managed server.

    I have an issue not related to this topic, but regarding JavaBinding in SOA 11G.
    I have created an application with Java binding for invocation of a java webservice through Parner Link.

    For the java binding do you use the EJB adapter or are you using the Spring component.

    or do you call an adf / direct binding service of a composite application

  49. Hi Edwin,

    We have a project using correlation sets rather than native JMS correlation but was hoping that maybe you had some insight as to what happens with uncorrelated messages.

    If a message is received by a JMS adapter in a composite application that does not correlate with any running instance of a BPEL process wired to that adapter, the JMS adapter will fire in the composite application and no further processing will take place.

    My question to you is: Can you configure the JMS adapter such that uncorrelated messages can be "redirected" so that processing can occur in a BPEL process?

    BTW appreciate your work so far. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Hi,

    interesting question, maybe you should not use jms request reply but for the return message use a mediator which dequeues everything and does some routing to the right BPEL or other queue and copy the header properties .

    let me know if this works.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hi Edwin,
    I'm trying the something very similar to the last response. I have an inbound JMS adapter which is connected to a mediator for some porcess ...things work fine. Now the JMS header say is populated with JMSReplyTo property by the caller(ie a seperate destination queue). I just need post a message to that destination. In the mediator I can access the value with out.property.jca.jms.JMSReplyTo...
    question is how do i post a message to that queue (as provided in the JMSRepyTo).Can this is done at all...Note the jms adapter is on inbound service not on reference side where i can use the request-reply. It's a inbound adapter with the JMSReplyTo info in teh header. I need to extract it and post a simpele status message. Will appreciate if u can provide some insight into it

    inbound it is not possible. use a OSB proxy.
    but you can use an inbound jms with a partical dequeue option and use a jms outbound reference on the same queue with a correlation of the inbound message

    thanks

    ReplyDelete
  53. Thanks for the prompt reply...is there any pointer for the inbound jms with a partical dequeue option ... I mean a little more details as what needs to be done.

    Also, just checking does writing a custom java callout in the meditaor be of any help...not sure though if the JMSReplyTo value can be accessible there or not.

    Thanking u in advance

  54. Hi,

    your app who fills the queue must set a jms property like this

    you can set in a Mediator assign or BPEL invoke a jms property like
    jca.jms.JMSProperty.country and add a value to this.

    and in the consuming jms adapter add in the message selector country='xxx'


    here some more info over mediator assign http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/08/jdeveloper-11g-improvments-for-mediator.html

    ReplyDelete
  55. Hi,
    Sorry to bug u again...well,I get y'r point and I can access those JMSproperty ...thats fine but what is happening here is that the app fills the queue with a ReplyJMSTo like the following

    TextMessage message = session.createTextMessage();
    message.setText(testMsg);

    replyToDestination = session.createTemporaryQueue();
    message.setJMSReplyTo(replyToDestination);

    ///then sends the message

    so the destination is already set, which is like any other JMS property i agree...and If were to write custom Listener I could have done something like

    // Get the temporary queue from the JMSReplyTo
    // property of the message...
    tempQueue = (Queue) msg.getJMSReplyTo();

    and send the message

    But since I'm using the JMS inbound adapter with a mediator ...I am not sure if I can send any message to that destination...if I define a outbound adapter i.e a consuming jms adapter ...it has its own destination (queuename)...not sure if i can change the consumer destination with the one supplied by the caller.
    Basically the caller app is looking for a request-reply over JMS. Question is can we do it with in bound JMS adapter and mediator/ mediator callout...We canot use OSB here

    Will apprecaite if you provide y'r thoughts...I know u might have already stated in y'r previous response...but just wanted to get little more clarity on the same.

  56. Hi Edwin - You mentioned timeouts when setting a policy using OSB. But outside of OSB, is there a way to set a timeout for an asynchronous JMS request/reply? As in, we successfully put an outbound message in the queue, but if we don't get a reply in say, 5 minutes, the step will timeout and we can continue?

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Hi,

    Are you OSB or SOA suite. And I don't get the context of your OSB timeout remark.

    But in SOA suite I think you can set the timeout on the adapter and else in a assign of the jms property

    In SOA suite you will get an error when there is a timeout and you can handle this in bpel or in a custom fault handler.

    Thanks

    2. Hi,

      with sync I think it uses the default JTA timeout of the container. With async you can add a mediator in soa suite before the jms adapter and set a timeout on the callback.

    As i was trying to use JmsCorrealtionId pattern at runtime($inbound/transport/request/header/JMScorrelationId/text()) but it was not picking up the message from the queue. could you please tell me the how to do that.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Hi,

    Are working with OSB and on the proxy service side.
    You can use a Message selector to listen always to the same jms header property. But you can't override it at runtime. you can put a message on a queue and listen for the response but this always an option in soa suite or osb. like this http://eelzinga.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/oracle-service-bus-jms-requestresponse-pattern/

    thanks

  60. Edwin the link that you have given below is not enough to clear my doubts.I will give u an example which will give the clear picture of my doubt.

    Suppose my Proxy1 is picking the message from the Queue1 and dumping it into Queue2 through Business Service BS1. Now another 2 proxy i.e Proxy2 and Proxy3 is picking the message from Queue2 but i want that at run time i should decide which proxy will listen the Queue2(Routing of the request at run time).
    I hope you have understand.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Hi,

    Ok you can use a queue instead of a topic , then only one can pick it up.

    but what you can do is for example proxy2 only picks up messages from a queue with message selector proxy2 and proxy3 does the same but then only for the proxy3 message filter.

    in the BS you need to decide which proxy gets it and set the right jms header property with value proxy2 or 3

    1. Hi,

      I don't know the use case but waiting for a db adapter can't be that long that you need asynchronous else you should tune it or you will get a JTA timeout. But maybe you can add a request to AQ which start this db actions and listen on AQ for the results.

      it looks like it is a custom java thing
      String sel = "JMS_BEA_SELECT(`xpath', `/order/item[2]/name/text()') = `Mitre Saw'";

      I think OSB follows a more strict jms implementation cause it can also connect to different jms providers.

    I am trying to create a JMS Consumer using Oracle Mediator 11g. This mediator will read from a JMS queue. However, the queue might have XML messages conforming to multiple schemas (XSDs). This mediator of mine should dequeue XMLs conforming to only one particular schema.

    1. Hi,

      can you set a jms header property with the schema name and use a message filter.
      or just dequeue everything and add a transformation, I think with the right schema you get meaningful data and the others you get an empty message. Ignore empty messages in BPEL.

      Thanks for your reply.

      The scenario I am trying to implement is:

      Our JMS queue contains two kinds of XML messages - one conforming to schema1.xsd other conforming to schema2.xsd.

      We have 2 consumers (mediator or BPEL) which read from this queue. Mediator1 should pick up schema1 and Mediator2 should pick up schema2.

      So, your 2nd option wont work for us, and option 1 seems to be the only way to go.

      Can you please throw some more light on the 1st option (using message filter on a field in JMS Header)?

    3. Hi,

      Your producer application or service should set a jms header property with a identifier.
      you can set in a Mediator assign or BPEL invoke a jms property like jca.jms.JMSProperty.country and add a value to this.

      and use a message filter on the jms adapter of your soa composite and use like country='NL'

  84. Hi Edwin,
    Thank you very much for this great know-how sharing!

    I am using SOA 11g and struggling with the following scenario, which I hope someone can help:
    Two composites (compA and compB).

    In between these two SOA composites communication there are two queues (requestQueue1, responseQueue1).

    The flow is, that BPEL from compA uses a JMS Request/Reply adapter (external references) in order to enqueue in the request queue (e.g. requestQueue1) and compB will dequeue from the request queue the message, process it and return it to the respective response queue (e.g. responseQueue1).

    I thought that I could do that by having one request/reply jms adapter in each composite, but it looks like this is not the case since although compA works fine, when trying in compB to put a Request/Reply JMS adapter in the EXPOSED SERVICES area, since it will receive a message, process it and send it back, it AUTOMATICALLY moves the JMS adapter from the EXPOSED SERVICES area to the EXTERNAL REFERENCES area!

    If in compB I use two JMS adapter: one Consume and one Produce, it works fine.

    Cannot figure out if JMS Request/Reply Adapter is supported by Composite Exposed Services?

  89. Hi Edwin,

    I have a composite using the JMS consumer and producer adapters.
    A webservice receive the request, pass it to a mediator and this routes the request to a BPEL, the BPEL invoke the producer to store the request into a UDQ.
    For the consumer is an inverse pattern, the consumer pops the message from the queue, pass it to a mediator, then is routed to a BPEL and finally is sent to a web service.

    The problem I'm facing is in the consumer side. When the BPEL fails to send the message to the web service, the consumer JMS adapter is automatically retrying again at 12:00 AM for every 5 minutes until 4 AM approximately.

    I'm using a UDQ with a connection factory checked as TX and in the JMS Adpater deployment, the property "isTransacted" for this outbound connection is set to false.

    Do you have any idea how to change this behavior? I tried setting the delivery failure properties of the queue to redelivery limit=3 and redelivery delay override=1000 but it doesn't seem to work.

      you can do this in the EM when you go to the composite and select the jms adapter.
      In the property tab you can manually change the message selector.

      or from your own application change the soa mbean -> oracle.soa.config -> your composite -> SCAComposite.SCAService -> your Adapter -> AdapterBinding and open the properties attributes

      dont set your own message , just retrieve it and maybe store it somewhere in your message and put it back and set the jms correlation id.

      hope this helps.

      thanks

  95. Hi Edwin,

    I am trying this in Async JMS Request Reply .I am using same queue for Request or Response .Also publshing messages to the same queue from different BPEL. JMS Request Reply is only dequeue the same message send by invoke and rejecting the message publised by other BPEL

    1. Hi,

      Can you use different queues, don't think it works on the same queue cause I don't see a message selector on the first queue.

      Thanks

  96. Hi Edwin,

    Thanks for this elaborate explanation. However I'm trying to implement a scenario where I want to put a message in a JMS Queue using a synchronous BPEL process whose correlation Id (or Message Id) I want in response back and pass it to an upstream application.
    That application can trigger a different operation again with that correlation ID to invoke my consumer which should go and fetch the corresponding message based on that correlationId from JMS Queue and pass it back to the upstream Application.
    Two questions:
    1. Is this scenario possible ?
    2. How to get the correlation Id in response of the synchronous BPEL and then pass it to JMS Consumer to get the appropriate response ?

    Any pointers to it will be really helpful.

    Thanks.

    1. Hi,

      Don't know if you should do JMS request /reply in a synchronous BPEL ( maybe get a timeout when it is not handled in 30 seconds) or do you mean fire and forget and get the messageid back of the jms adpater and pass it to the application in a response.
      you can retrieve or set jms header properties on the invoke or in a mediator in between bpel and jms adapter.

      In your application you can do with java a jms retrieve with a custom message selector which only retrieves a particular message.

      Thanks

  97. Many thanks for your post!

    I have doubts about my case.

    I have two bpels flows. The first, recieve a xml message and this message I put into a queue. So the second bpel flow, get the message and process it.

    My doubt is how to set the environment so that I have only one consumer. I have noticed that although I have put adapter.jms.receive.threads = 1 the processes creates hundreds of instances.

    What do I have to do to avoid it?

    I would appreciate any suggeston

    1. Hi,

      Don't think you should change this behaviour, every jms message is one BPEL instance, just like HTTP. if you want to combine some messages (not 100 or more, just a few ) you can use BPEL correlation. this way BPEL will wait for the next message which contains a certain value.

      What is your use case ?

      thanks

    2. Hi, Thanks for you prompt reply!!

      My case is

      1) I have a Bpel that has a file adapter which read a XML file with 32 thoudand customerID
      2) In this bpel, I make a group of 200 hundreds customerID and I send this group to a JMS

      3) A second Bpel reads the queue, gets this group of CustomerID and call a Webservices which return my customers details. A XML with at least 60 XML tags.

      4) Finally, the webservice´s return is sent to a FileAdapter which writes the XML with the customer detais into a file system.

      My problem is that the webservces which return the customer´s data has performace limitations and I must have only one instance of the bpel that reads the queue. I have noticed that several instances has been created and each one is sending 200 customerID to the webservice. As a result, the webserver that host the websevice is busy and somtimes it goes down.

      How could I avoid too many instances? I have put this properties like adapter.jms.receive.threads in my composite.xml but it does not work.

    3. Ok,

      you can use OSB throttling to protect your web service or use this with a JMS JCA adapter

      <service name="ReadQueue">
      <interface.wsdl interface="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/demoreadqueue1#wsdl.interface(SampleInbound_PortType)"/>
      <binding.jca config="Dequeue_jms.jca">
      <property name="minimumDelayBetweenMessages">1000</property>
      <property name="singleton">true</property>
      </binding.jca>
      </service>

      singleton property is used in case of a clustered environment.

  98. Hi,

    Do you mean you got the same JMS messageId twice, or do you set the message ID with a value which comes from the body.

    Can you explain the use case?

    Thanks
