Configure WebLogic Resource Adapters with ANT

When you use a JCA adapter in Oracle SOA Suite or OSB then you know that you need to configure a plan of some WebLogic Resource Adapter.  With this ANT script I tried to make this an easy task for you and which you can repeat on different WebLogic Domains. This ANT script can easily add multiple EIS entries to the following adapters: DbAdapter, AqAdapter and JmsAdapter in just one run. After these changes to the resource plans this script will redeploy only the changed Resource Adapter.

Special thanks for my colleague Michel Schildmeijer for inspiring me to make this flexible script and off course for the necessary WLST code.

Important to know.

  • Run this script on the AdminServer, else it won't find the Resource Adapter Plans
  • First you need to create a Plan for the 3 Resource Adapters (Db,Aq,Jms) and add a dummy entry, think how you name it and where you put it.
  • When a plan is changed and you have a soa cluster or the soa weblogic instance is running on a different server then you need to copy the plan to all servers or put it on a shared storage.    

If you don't like this then you can always create new Resource Adapters by following this blogpost.

Let's explain how it works

first you need to change some variables in this build.properties

default this scripts runs against the weblogic dev settings.  You can change this to your own and configure the dev entries ( dev entries at the bottom of the build.properties )

wls.environment=dev

Where are the adapter rars located in your FMW domain, this can be in your SOA or OSB Home of the FMW domain.
connectorLocation=C:/oracle/MiddlewarePS3/Oracle_SOA1/soa/connectors/

Then add your own EIS entries, these ones in this var will be added to weblogic.
resourceAdapterEntries=hrDB,hrAQ,cf1JMS,cf2JMS

Think if you need to set the XA or Not XA datasource property or in Jms the connectionFactoryLocation.
# AQ entry
hrAQ.type=aq
hrAQ.eisName=eis/AQ/hr2
hrAQ.property=xADataSourceName
hrAQ.value=jdbc/hrDS

# DB entry
hrDB.type=db
hrDB.eisName=eis/DB/hr2
hrDB.property=dataSourceName
hrDB.value=jdbc/hrDS

# JMS entries
cf1JMS.type=jms
cf1JMS.eisName=eis/JMS/hr3
cf1JMS.property=ConnectionFactoryLocation
cf1JMS.value=jms/MyCF

After you can run the ANT script 
ant -f build.xml createResourceAdapterEntries 

Here you can download the code on github

Here is the whole build.properties file 


The wlst part with the wlRedeployResourceAdapter and wlCreateResourceAdapter macrodefs


And at last the build.xml

      hi,

      I think you are some ant libs jars or the ant contrib jar. put them in your ant lib or classpath.

      Hi,

      you must upgrade ANT and check your classpath and put contrib jar in the ant lib folder.

      thanks

    Hi, Edwin,
    Thanks for share your code in GitHub, save me lots of time.
    1. I did little change for my env. It's not problem in my Linux with using PlanPath, but don't know why it's not working in my Windows. just return Plan.xml without path.
    planPath = get('/AppDeployments/'+appName+'/AbsolutePlanPath')

    2. The destroy exist Variable/assignment function is not working in makeDeploymentPlanVariable, because you introduce idRandom on the name param. Either change this idRandom to FIXED string/number, or using find() to filter the exist Variable then destroy that. Otherwise always create new Avariable with the same eisName.

    thanks

      Hi,

      Did you add your Resource Adapter values to the build.properties
      like this

      resourceAdapterEntries=hrDB,hrDB2,hrAQ,hrAQ2,cf1JMS,cf2JMS
      and add the right types to hrAQ entries etc
      hrAQ.type=aq

      and run this on the adminserver

      Hi,

      I did a fresh pull from github and everything is working fine.
      can you check the following,

      run the start.bat or change it to a sh script.

      are you running this script on the osb server.
      did you already create the resource adapter plans for aq,jms and db.

      ant contrib is loaded in the build.xml ( from the lib folder )
      path id="antcontrib.path"
      pathelement path="lib/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar"
      /path

      taskdef classpathref="antcontrib.path"
      resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"


      and does your connectorLocation=C:/oracle/MiddlewarePS5/Oracle_SOA1/soa/connectors/ exists

      Hi

      I'm running this on windows and i have osb server installed locally in my machine
      and resource adapters JMS,DB,AQ connection factory is established but data source is not configured

      Question:do I need to update antcontrib.path in the build.xml?

      Also the connectorLocation exists and here is the path:connectorLocation=C:/Users/vxvm/oracleosb/Middleware/Oracle_OSB1/soa/connectors/

      I'm running it from OSB domain


      Also is there a way I can send my artifacts as an attachment?

    Hi Edwin,
    I wrote the scripts based on your code. I put all python scripts in createAdapter.py and created target in build.xml to call this py script. After sucessfully run the script, the new resources is not showing in DbAdapter(DbAdapter->Configuration->Outbound Connection Pools). But new configuration is in DBplan.xml. After i run "updates" DbAdaper, I can see the new resources. looks like redeploy part is not picking up the new configuration from DBPlan.xml. below is my redeploy part code

    def redeployResourceAdapter(appName):
    planPath = get('/AppDeployments/'+appName+'/AbsolutePlanPath')
    print '__ redeployResourceAdapter '+appName+' Using plan ' + planPath+ ' ___'
    cd('/AppDeployments/'+appName+'/Targets');
    redeploy(appName, planPath,targets=cmo.getTargets());
    #updateApplication(appName, planPath)

    cd('/')

    and log after create adapter resources

    instead redeploy(appName, planPath,targets=cmo.getTargets()); can we use update(appName, planPath,targets=cmo.getsTargets()); ?? after config if i dont want to redeploy the adapter and only want to update it ??

      it doesn't , it searches for a local file ( the deployment plan on the server ) , probably only works in this situation when you have a shared storage ( NFS share )

    Hi Biemond,
    we've created a custom jca resource adapter and deployed in oracle weblogic server.
    we are using this adapter in soa 11g composite and everything is working fine.
    The problem is we can't able to handle the business exception thrown from the adapter.
    we need to know how to throw soap fault from resource adapter so that we can handle the exception at mediator of soa 11g..
    we tried throwing as resourceException but at SOA level we are receiving it as runtime exception.


    please do help us..

    Thanks,
    Godwin
