4 Integration With BPEL Service Components in the Oracle SOA Suite

Generating WSDL for Request/Response Service

Perform the following steps to generate a WSDL for request/response service:

1. Start Application Explorer and connect to a defined J.D. Edwards OneWorld target.

   For more information, see "Defining a Target to J.D. Edwards OneWorld".

2. Expand Services, CALLBSFN, and Addressbook.

Testing Outbound BPEL and Mediator Processes

When testing an outbound BPEL process or an outbound Mediator process from the Oracle Enterprise Manager console, do not use the XML envelopes that are generated by these consoles. Instead, remove them and use the XML payloads that are generated from the schemas, which conform to the WSDLs for namespace qualifications.

The Mediator data flows can be tested using the Enterprise Manager console. When creating a Mediator data flow and interactions, the Web services are created and registered with the Oracle Application Server. For more information on creating a Mediator outbound process, see Chapter 5, "Integration With Mediator Service Components in the Oracle SOA Suite".

Generating WSDL for Event Integration

Before you design a BPEL process using Oracle JDeveloper, you must create a separate channel for every J2CA event and select that channel when you generate WSDL for inbound interaction using Application Explorer.

Creating a Channel in Application Explorer

To create a channel:

1. In Application Explorer, expand the JDEdwards node.

2. Right-click the Channels node, and select Add Channels.

   The Add Channel dialog is displayed, as shown in Figure 4-65.

   Figure 4-65 Add Channel Dialog

   
   Description of "Figure 4-65 Add Channel Dialog"
   
   

3. In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the channel.

4. In the Description field, enter a description (optional).

5. From the Protocol list, choose a protocol for your channel.

6. Click Next.

   The dialog is displayed for the selected listener, as shown in Figure 4-66.

   Figure 4-66 TCP Listener Dialog

   
   Description of "Figure 4-66 TCP Listener Dialog"
   
   

7. Enter the port number of the channel in the Port Number field.

8. Enter the location of the server in the Host/IP Binding field.

9. Select the Synchronization type from the Synchronization Type list.

10. Select Is Length Prefix for events that send data which is not in XML format. The TCP/IP event application must prefix the data with a 4-byte binary length field when writing the data to the TCP/IP port.

11. Select Is XML for events that send data back in XML format. No preparser is required.

12. Select Is Keep Alive to maintain a continuous communication between the event transaction and the channel.

13. Click the PreParser tab, as shown in Figure 4-67.

    Figure 4-67 PreParser Tab

    
    Description of "Figure 4-67 PreParser Tab"
    
    

    Enter values based on the table.

    Parameter	Description
    User id*	A valid user ID for J.D. Edwards OneWorld.
    User password*	The password associated with the user ID.
    JDE environment*	Your J.D. Edwards OneWorld environment. For more information about this parameter, see your J.D. Edwards OneWorld documentation or ask your OneWorld system administrator.
    Application	XMLInterop or the application name in J.D. Edwards OneWorld. Optional.
    Server IP address*	The name of the server on which J.D. Edwards OneWorld is running. This can be the name of the server, for example, JDEOW, or its IP address, for example, 123.45.67.89.
    Server Port*	The port number on which the server is listening, for example, 6009.
    User Role	Define a user role according to your requirements.
    Schema Location	The location of the XML schema (.xsd file) that was generated from the event output. For example: <ADAPTER_HOME>\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\config\config_name\schemas\JDEdwards\target_name\jde-schema.xsd For more information, see "Generating WSDL for Inbound Interaction".
    Schema style	Choose from one of the following options: ELEMENT_STYLE (default) ATTRIBUTE_STYLE

    
    

    Click OK.

    The channel is created and displayed under the Channels node. An X over the icon indicates that the channel is currently disconnected.

    Note:

    The channel you created in Application Explorer is managed by BPEL PM Server. If you start the channel for testing and debugging purposes, then stop it before run-time.

Generating WSDL for Event Notification (Command Prompt Only)

You cannot generate WSDL for J.D. Edwards OneWorld event notification using Application Explorer. To generate WSDL from the command prompt, you must perform the following steps.

You can create inbound J2CA service only if the node you have selected supports events.

To generate a WSDL file for J.D. Edwards OneWorld event notification:

1. Create a channel in Application Explorer under the J.D. Edwards events node.

2. Start the channel.

   Important: Do not restart the BPEL PM Server or Oracle Application Server after the channel is started.

3. Send an inbound message from J.D. Edwards OneWorld.

4. Capture the inbound message payload in the log file located under:

   <ADAPTER_HOME>\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\config\jca_sample\log\iwaf_jca1500.log
   

   Alternatively, you can create a port with the File protocol under Event in Application Explorer to dispose the event message to the file system.

5. Use a third party tool such as XMLSpy to create the XSD schema using the XML payload captured in the previous step.

6. In the generated XML schema (.xsd file) perform the following modifications:

   1. Search for Schemas-jdedwards-com and replace it with iwaysoftware.

   2. Cut the following syntax:

      <xs:element name="jdeResponse"><xs:complexType>  </xs:complexType>  </xs:element>
      

   3. Paste it before the following line:

      <xs:element name="transaction">
      

7. Copy the XML schema (.xsd file) from the following directory:

   <ADAPTER_HOME>\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\config\config_name\schemas\JDEdwards\target_name\
   

   Note:

   Edit the created channel by providing the location of the schema (.xsd) file (as mentioned in step 7) in the PreParser tab of Application Explorer. For example:

   <ADAPTER_HOME>\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\config\config_name\schemas\JDEdwards\target_name\jde-schema.xsd
   

8. Open a command prompt and navigate to the following directory:

   <ADAPTER_HOME>\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\tools\iwae\bin
   

9. Execute the obadapter.bat file to set the environment.

10. Navigate to the following directory where the XML schema (.xsd file) is copied:

    <ADAPTER_HOME>\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\config\config_name\schemas\JDEdwards\target_name\
    

11. Enter the following command to generate a WSDL:

    java -Diway.oem=oracle11g com.iwaysoftware.af.container.tools.wsdl.IWayWSILBrowser adapterhome adapter target channel schemaPrefix wsdlFileName
    

    where:

    adapterhome is the path to your ApplicationAdapters home. For example:

    <ADAPTER_HOME>\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\
    

    adapter is the name of the adapter. For example, JDEdwards.

    target is the name of the adapter target you created in Application Explorer.

    channel is the name of the channel you created in Application Explorer.

    schemaPrefix is the prefix for the XSD schema. The schema file must be in the same directory where the Java command is executed, for example:

    java -Diway.oem=oracle11g com.iwaysoftware.af.container.tools.wsdl.IWayWSILBrowser C:\oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\wsdls\JDEdwards jde812_tgt jde_ch Jde812_Schema Jde812_salesorder_receive.wsdl
    

    Once the command is executed, the following is displayed in the command window:

    Running Inbound WSDL generation tool...-> user.dir = java com.iwaysoftware.af.container.tools.wsdl.IWayWSILBrowser C:\oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty\wsdls\ApplicationAdapters\JDEdwards jde812_tgt jde_ch Jde812_Schema Jde812_salesorder_receive.wsdl -> Generating WSDL...-> Done.-> Writing WSDL 'C:\oracle\Middleware\Oracle_SOA1\soa\thirdparty\ApplicationAdapters\wsdls\Jde812_salesorder_receive.wsdl ' to disk...-> Done.
    

    Note:

    It is good practice to append _receive to the names of WSDL files that are generated for event notification services. This allows you to easily distinguish between them and those generated for request-response services.

12. Stop the channel in Application Explorer.
