Invoking Soa Suite 11g Service from java

In Soa Suite 11g we can not call the composite service directly from java. We need to copy the service in the composite, change its binding to adf and wire this service to the component. All the credits goes to Jay's Blog and Clemens, Great work.

The first step is to open the composite xml and find your service.

Copy this service and give it a unique name and now we need to add the binding.adf binding to this service instead of the binding.ws

Go back to the design mode and open the new adf binding service and select the same wsdl as your other service ( this will correct the serviceName ) and at last we need to wire the new service to the component

Now we only need to call this service from java
The source of project is on github check https://github.com/biemond/soa11g_examples/tree/master/SOA_Directbinding where I use adf binding , directbinding and starting these from java and also start / stop composite , check activated instances , start unit tests.

  1. Just a couple of questions over this approach.

    1) What is the best means to get rid of the hard coded URL you have on your code? This code can't go as such to production.

    2) You have hard coded the composite revision id. What if the customer redeploys the composite with different revision id?

    3) What is the advantage of this approach over JAX-WS Proxy?

  2. Hi,

    just use a property file or a context parameter in web.xml and this you can override with a deployment profile in weblogic deployment

    you can leave the revision id away then it always uses the latest

    it is fast because of the rmi and more secure because you have to authenticate

    thanks

  3. Thanks for the explanation.

    For 3, do you have any numbers on how much could be the performance improvement over JAX-WS for this option?

  4. Hi

    just take a look at this rmi is always fast.

  5. Edwin,
    Thanks for the Java exmaple. I'm new to the ADF area and have a related question. I'd like to create an ADF UI to show the exact same thing... Have the UI call and drive a payload into a SOAP or RMI Composite (Mediator or BPEL) in 11g. Any in-built capabilities on the ADF side to do this? Would you possibly have an example? Thanks

  6. Hi,

    Have the UI call and drive a payload into a SOAP or RMI Composite (Mediator or BPEL) in 11g. Any in-built capabilities on the ADF side to do this?

    There are more ways to do this in ADF,

    first is use ws datacontrol or if you are more a java developer then you can generate a ws proxy client and generate on the port client a java datacontrol.

    or use this code and generate a java datacontrol on this class.

    and when you have a datacontrol then you can drag and drop the method on the jsf page.

    thanks Edwin

  7. Hi,

    I know this is not the correct blog to post this technical issue on SOA suite 11g and fault-policy.But i have been entwined in this issue in a way that I require some help to resolve it.
    I have used a java-action for a fault condition.But when the fault occurs and the following java action is called then the it gives an exception-"com.collaxa.cube.engine.fp.BPELFaultRecoveryContextImpl is not loaded in the main class and thus resulting in this error:java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/collaxa/cube/engine/fp/BPELFaultRecoveryContextImpl at com.xxx.javaActionBPEL.handleFault"

    Please let me know if I can upload the custom java action jar file in this blog!

  12. Quick question regarding removing revision id from the code. I tried it out with code:
    Composite c = locator.lookupComposite("default/HellowWorld")

    but it causes the following exception:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: default/HelloWorld
    at oracle.soa.management.CompositeDN.(CompositeDN.java:29)
    at oracle.soa.management.internal.ejb.EJBLocatorImpl.lookupComposite(EJBLocatorImpl.java:212)

  15. Just a little more information our mediator calls a BPEL process. No matter what we try we cannot get the payload to come back from the BPEL using your code example.

    Thanks so much for the help!

  26. Hi

    in the mediator you can change the adapter properties in the assign part of the mediator.
    see this
    http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/08/jdeveloper-11g-improvments-for-mediator.html

    in bpel you can go the property tab in the invoke activity and change the adapter properties.

    thanks

    ReplyDelete
  27. Thanks for the information the one issue we will have is that we need to change the property in the BPEL properties tab at runtime. Any idea on how to do that?

    I see how you could hardcode it. Not seeing how you could assign it.

    Thanks!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hi,

    when you go to the property tab of the bpel invoke activity and select your adapter property you want to change. click the value field and then you will get a wizard to select a variable.

    thanks

    ReplyDelete
  29. Thank you Edwin!!!!!

    We were looking at the properties on the Partner Link not the invoke activity. That is what had us confused.

    Thanks again!

  30. Edwin,

    We have a need to only allow a given compsoite to run one at a time. In other words two instances or threads at the same time is what we are trying to avoid.

    In 11g is there a a good way to do this? In 10.1.3 we programatically did it using the API to see if a BPEL instance was running. This was placed at the top of each BPEL process we had like this.

    We have multiple ways for users to kick off the composite. If one is already running we want to error or queue the request.

    Thank You!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hi,

    Interesting case. I think I would the users add a request to a JMS queue and make a synchronous mediator composite application which dequeues this JMS Queues and call the right synchronous Composite application.
    Then the mediator composite application should wait for the Composite application to finish before it can dequeue an another one.

    let me know what you did.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Edwin,

    In a BPEL process is there a way in 11.1.1.2 to do a HTTP Post that returns a plain XML response and map that into a Oracle table? The response from the HTTP response is not SOAP it's a CGI that returns raw XML. It's well formed but doesn't have the envelope namespaces etc..

    Thanks much for advice!

  33. Hi

    Soa Suite 11g R1 PS1 does not support the http binding yet but the next version it will. but you can also use the spring component for now. This works perfectly . or you can do a java call out.

    Lucas made a blog about the spring component.
    http://technology.amis.nl/blog/6704/soa-suite-11g-using-spring-component-to-mimic-http-binding-and-integrate-restful-services

    thanks

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hi Edwin,

    We are hoping for a quick answer on this one because of time lines we have. In BPEL we have two scenarios. One where we need to do a loop and call a stored procedure. The number of items in the loop could go all the way to 500 let's say. We also have a need to do a loop based on a data set and call a WebService. That too could need to call the WebService 500 times that is a SAAS API where we are moving date from our system to the SAAS provider.

    Can 11.1.1.2 BPEL handle a loop of that size? 500 iterations? It's an average sized payload nothing huge. More a concern with that many times through a loop.

    Developing it is no problem in either scenario it's very straightforward. Just wanted to see if you would do something like that.

    Thanks so much Edwin!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hi,

    If I was you I would make a new procedure with a clob or xmltype parameter which calls the original procedure 500 times. ( oracle db support xpath , it is not so difficult )

    Huge data processing is always faster in the database.

    if you don't want this , don't log this composite in the hydration store. Too slow.

    thanks Edwin

    ReplyDelete
  36. Thanks so much on the PL/SQL.

    How about the post of the data to the SAAS provider. Any issues with looping 500 times in BPEL if we don't do a checkpoint and go to the dehydration store?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Hi Edwin,

    In 11g BPEL if we have a timeout even with our fault policy we are not getting notified by email. It's going to the logs however.

    Any ideas on how we can get notified via email of a timeout? This would be a timeout such as a database adapter or a WebService call.

    Thanks Much!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hi,

    You can try to use a Java Action Fault Policy and from this class try to set a message on a queue and read this queue to do your own thing like a email.

    like in my company blog .

    thanks and maybe in the next version of soa you can get automatic email notifications.

  42. I'm using Eclipse and I get the following exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.soa.api.JNDIDirectConnectionFactory

    Guess need additional libraries.

    What I want to do is get payload for all the running composites and then use those payload to reinvoke on another instance.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hi,

    Eclipse is possible but you need to get some libraries some the Soa Suite server and off course the weblogic full client.

    you need these classes
    oracle.soa.management.facade.*
    oracle.fabric.common.*

    and I thinks these are the jars you need soa-infra-mgmt.jar / fabric-runtime.jar

    thanks

  44. Hi Ediwn,

    We have a file watcher in an 11g BPEL process.

    Inside the jca file we would like to inject a different directory path at deployment time using the config file.

    This is the line in question in the JCA file.



    Is it possible to use the config file to impact values in the JCA file? This is specifically for a file watcher.

    Thanks for your insight!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hi,

    I dont know what your use case is, but at runtime in the bpel invoke or mediator assign you can set jca.file.Directory this is good for writing.

    for reading files you can use the logical name in the the file adapter or maybe something with a configuration plan.

    thanks Edwin

  51. Hi,

    best way is to read the SOA Mbeans and for this you can use java or wlst.

    see this http://biemond.blogspot.com/2010/02/invoking-fmw-application-mbeans-in.html

    or do it with ANT
    http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/09/deploy-soa-suite-11g-composite.html

    here i stop or enable composite.

    hope this helps

  63. Hi Edwin,

    I have a 11G BPEL process that puts a messgae in a JMS queue. A MDB puts a message in a response queue that the BPEL process watches.

    The BPEL process picks up the response message from the MDB just fine but it says the message format doesn't match the defined schema for the response and the BPEL throws and exception. I have tried putting the namespace in using every imaginable format with no luck.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  64. Hi,

    what you can do is to intercept the mdb response message and compare this with the response of a test mediator file component.

    or use jdeveloper to generate a test msg and compares this with the mdb one.

    I think your default namespace is wrong or a lower or Uppercase error.

    I have another doubt regarding to another topic if you don't mind:

    I've working with xpath extension functions for bpel 10g in OAS.

    Now I'm working with 11g(weblogic 10.3.3) and I saw that everything is different, I mean I'm wondering if I have to do the same steps for adding an xpath extension function like modify the xml descriptor(where is this located?) in bpel installation path and where I have to add my java class with the xpath extensions also add the extension in the JDeveloper(I can take a look by myself).

    Have you some blog explaining something about? any guide that can I follow, or could you confirm that is it possible?

    Thank you in advance Edwin!

  69. Hi Edwin,

    I'm curious about the 11g PS3 updates. I've been working with the java API to query for instances and components, but have yet to find an interface that gives me access to the payload of any specific instance at its current point.

    Any guidance?

  70. Hi,

    I want to call a Bpel proces from adf and using the following code

    Composite c = locator.lookupComposite("default/BpelProcess")

    but it causes the following exception:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: default/BpelProcess
    at oracle.soa.management.CompositeDN.(CompositeDN.java:29)
    at oracle.soa.management.internal.ejb.EJBLocatorImpl.lookupComposite


    Please help how to resolve this error.

  73. Hi,

    I added my test project to github , This working example shows you all the steps.

    The source of project is on github check https://github.com/biemond/soa11g_examples/tree/master/SOA_Directbinding where I use adf binding , directbinding and starting these from java and also start / stop composite , check activated instances , start unit tests.

    good luck

  74. Hi Edwin,

    I have tried your code from github, but the ADF Binding has not been working( I didnt test the other two bindings). In the BPEL process when we replace the client partner link with the ADF_Binding's partner link and recreate the input and output variables then only its working.
    Can you please also check it from your side once?

    Regards,
    Surya.

  75. Hi,

    All 3 examples works,
    there is no need to change anything
    all 3 services are calling and using the same bpel wsdl and got a wire to this bpel.

    And then lookup the composite
    Composite composite = locator.lookupComposite("default/Helloworld!1.0");
    Then lookup the ADF service component which is the ADF binding.
    service = composite.getService("ADFBindingService");

    it worked perfectly for me

    thanks

  76. Hi,
    We are calling our BPEL process under weblogic server 11g SOA from standalone Java client .

    we were using the SOA management Java reference 11.1.1.5.0 APIs in our code as shown below:
    we are using the jars:

    ejb30.jar,
    ejb.jar
    fabric-common.jar,
    optic.jar,
    oracle-soa-client-api.jar,
    soa-infra-mgmt.jar,
    wlfullclient.jar,
    wsclient_extended.jar,
    xmlparserv2.jar..

    CompositeDN compositeDN = new CompositeDN("default","MasterBPELProcess", "1.0");
    DirectConnection dic = locator.createDirectConnection(compositeDN, "MasterBPELProcess");

    DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder builder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document doc = builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(inputPayload)));
    Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();

    Map mpayload = new HashMap();
    mpayload.put("payload", root);

    Payload payload = PayloadFactory.createXMLPayload(mpayload);
    Message request = XMLMessageFactory.getInstance().createMessage();
    request.setPayload(payload);
    try {
    Message response =
    dic.request(operationName, request);}catch(InvocationException e){}

  77. Hi,

    are you using the direct binding or adf binding as service and what do you do in your operation one way, sync or async.

    thanks else send me a simple testcase

    thanks

    ReplyDelete
  78. The existing bpel proces is based on ws binding. we came 2 know that if it is a ws binding we can't use the Java api, so we have deployed a sample process with direct binding, but we are not able to use the request method.

    Since the operation defined in wsdl is one way, the existing pbel process has ws binding service, we have to convert this to dir/adf binding, which one would you suggest (adf/direct)?

    pls provide all the configuration details to be done in the pbel side & for both direct binding service & adf binding service.

    Note :

    We have both sync & async calls to be made, for this we will be passing a payload(xml).

    pls explain about the callback process in the async call.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Hi,

    Basically nothing have to change , just add an extra direct binding and re-use the same wsdl of the ws binding. Drag a wire from this directbinding exposed service to the bpel component.

    now you have 2 service which has a wire to the bpel component.

    thanks

    1. Hi,

      Strange, so it is invoked and you see the instance in the EM and get a valid response.

      Can you test my example first on your environment and see how that goes. You can better use directbinding.

  86. Hi Edwin,

    I can see that in this article comments there is someone that asked you about the best way to change a partner link at runtime. You suggested him the usage of the invoke properties to change the endpoint. Well, I have the same requirement but I my partner links are direct binding adapters. I've tried the solution that you comment and I've tried to assign values to partner link variables using the WS-Addressing schemas, both ways with no success. Can you show me the way to change a direct binding partner link (Address) that calls an OSB proxy at runtime?

    Thanks in advance and congrats for your blog.

    1. Hi,

      Are you using bpel 2.0 with PS5 or bpel 1.1 these two supports changing endpoint at runtime. But direct binding uses the direct binding java api. This is not a http endpoint but a t3 one, that's why addressing won't work.

      you can ask for an ER on oracle support. maybe they can show you how or add this feature in the next release.

      thanks

  87. OK, I'm going to ask Oracle support about it.

  88. In your example, Is there any way to create a locator without passing the credentials while creating the context using jndiProps?

    i.e. We have a scenario where a java(non adf) app which runs within same weblogic server instance of soasuite and it needs to instantiate a bpel process. I can certainly use web service proxy but direct binding might make it faster and efficient

  89. Hi Biemond,

    We are trying to send a callback from Java WS to a BPEL process in 11 g. Both the BPEL Composite and the Java WS are in the same container, ie Weblogic.

    This was working fine in 10g with IDeliveryService but in 11g we used Locator class to look up the service. We are getting a null pointer exception in at line

    ds.post(operationName, nm); after adding a SOP statement, we are getting NP Exception at

    System.out.println("ds ::"+ds.getCompositeDN());

    Below is the excerpt of the sendResponse Code

    public void SendResponse(String getIsOK, String SessionNumber, String ErrorMessage) {
    try{


    String SessNum;
    SessNum = SessionNumber;
    if(SessNum == null)
    {SessNum="";}
    String inputXML="\n" +
    "" + getIsOK + "\n" +
    "" + SessNum + "\n" +
    "" + ErrorMessage + "\n" +
    "\n";
    System.out.println("OdiCallbackService Response: " + inputXML);
    Locator locator = LocatorFactory.createLocator();

    Composite composite = locator.lookupComposite("default/!");

    //processName is the name of the Composite

    ServiceImpl ds = (ServiceImpl) composite.getService(processName);
    NormalizedMessage nm = new NormalizedMessageImpl();

    nm.addProperty(NormalizedMessage.PROPERTY_CONVERSATION_ID, conversationID);
    //payload is the name of the part of the message.
    nm.getPayload().put("payload",inputXML);
    System.out.println("operationName ::"+operationName);
    System.out.println("ds ::"+ds.getCompositeDN());
    System.out.println("operationName ::"+operationName);
    System.out.println("nm ::"+nm.getPayload().get("payload"));
    //operationName is the name of the operation to which the call back is returned.
    ds.post(operationName, nm);

      you should use something like this in the lookup partition + composite _ version locator.lookupComposite("default/Helloworld!1.0")

    2. Hi Beimond,

      For some reason, the text did not get printed. We are actually using
      Composite composite = locator.lookupComposite("default/InvokeODIAsyncBPEL4!1.0");

      Also, I have not used adf.binding in composite.xml. The BPEL Process actually calls the Java WS asynchronously . The issue is when the callbackelement is passed back to the BPEL Process.

      Thanks,
      Anu

    3. Hi Edwin,

      I have also tried with adf.binding tag as below






      where,OdiInvokeServiceServiceADF is the unique name that I have given to the reference. And wired the reference to the BPEL Process. Both binding.adf and binding.ws is coexisting with reference names different. I have tested the code with same payload. From BPEL instance point of view, the behaviour was same. Invocation of WS was successful but call back was pending.

      However, the .out file did not print any of the Java SOP statements. Please suggest.

      Thanks,
      Anu

  92. Hi Edwin,
    the 12c version of the infrastructure management API has been significantly reduced (see https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/soasuite/api-reference-soa/toc.htm). The API you mentioned above is not available anymore in the documentation (most of oracle.soa.management.facade).

    Do you know if there's some substitution? It seems to me that 12c version has been reduced mostly to DirectConnection, but the management API has been removed.
