Please follow the new Developer Quick Start install guide available at
http://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=fmw121300&id=SOAQS to complete the installation.
The installer will:

Install all components necessary for development with the core of SOA Suite (BPEL, rules,
mediator, human work flow, service bus)

Launch JDeveloper after the installation, automatically registering the IDE plug-ins for SOA and
Service Bus.

Have e2e-1201-orderprocessing sample application ready for review, run and deploy.
Please note, while SOA Suite 12c greatly simplifies the initial developer install experience for SOA Suite,
all the flexibility and power of domain configuration that was available in 11g is preserved.
Your environment will look like the following within your developer desktop when you are done
typically in about 30 minutes:

Chapter 2: Validate Payment

Overview
Avitek has embarked upon an IT modernization project to align with business goals of improving
customer satisfaction. A key area of improvement will be streamlining the order process to provide
better visibility tracking orders through credit approvals, fulfillment, shipment and delivery.
One key issue in the current system is that credit card payments are often denied for various,
sometimes minor reasons, such as expiration date, etc. Since the process to correct these issues varies
across Aviteks order entry systems, there is no consistent follow-up and resolution with customers.
Orders may end up lost or delayed in the system leading to customer dissatisfaction.
The business has indicated a new credit card fraud detection system must be put in place before years
end to thwart credit card abuses. A consistent fraud mechanism will require the credit validation
process to be consolidated across all order entry systems.
The first step will be to provide a consistent interface to all order entry applications for credit validation.
Initially, the consolidated credit validation service will be hosted in-house to control quality; however,
once the interface is stabilized, this service will be outsourced to a 3rd party provider. In the future,
when Avitek decides to outsource credit validation to an external provider, this can be accomplished
without impacting existing applications.
In this chapter, you will build your first SOA Suite 12c project. At the end of this chapter, your solution
will look like the following from an architectural perspective.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Prerequisites

Developer (QuickStart) installation is complete. JDeveloper is up and running with The

integrated WLS server started. If you need to stop and re-start the server, please follow the
instructions in the Appendix of this document.

Tutorial resources have been downloaded and unzipped to a directory of your choice. When
referring to any resources in the following chapters (for example wsdl or sample input), we will
always refer directories relative to the unzipped location as ~/e2e-1201-orderprocessing. For
example ~/e2e-1201-orderprocessing/sample-input/input.xml.

Part 1: Build a SOA Composite

In this section, you will build your first Oracle SOA Suite 12c composite to validate a credit card
payment.
In this composite, credit card payments will be validated and the payment status will be returned. If the
payment is denied, the order will not be processed.
Once done, your project should resemble the following.

All available credit cards will be stored in the database, including payment type, card number, expiry
date, card name and daily limit.
The incoming order message includes the credit card information.
For example, the payment part of the order message would look like this:
<soas:Billing>
<soas:CardPaymentType>1</soas:CardPaymentType>
<soas:CardNum>1234123412341234</soas:CardNum>
<soas:ExpireDate>0316</soas:ExpireDate>
<soas:CardName>AMEX</soas:CardName>
<soas:BillingAddress>
<soas:FirstName>Daniel</soas:FirstName>
<soas:LastName>Day-Lewis</soas:LastName>
<soas:AddressLine>555 Beverly Lane</soas:AddressLine>
<soas:City>Hollywood</soas:City>
<soas:State>CA</soas:State>
<soas:ZipCode>12345</soas:ZipCode>
Page 9 of 392

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

<soas:PhoneNumber>5127691108</soas:PhoneNumber>
</soas:BillingAddress>
</soas:Billing>

The validation process includes three steps:

1. First, the payment information is retrieved from the database, using the credit card number
quoted in the order message as the key. If there is no data available with this credit card
number, payment is denied.
2. If data for the credit card number is available, the expiry date in the database record is
compared to the expiry date listed in the order message. If they are not the same, the payment
is also denied.
3. The last check compares if the total order amount is less than the daily limit on the credit card in
the database.
If all tests are successful, the payment is authorized. Otherwise its denied.
The implementation of this service uses a BPEL process to retrieve the credit card data from the
database and perform the tests outlined above. The service will return either Authorized or Denied as
the payment status.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 10 of 392

High-Level Steps

Create a new composite application e2e-1201-composites and SOA project ValidatePayment.

Leverage the new SOA Project template to create the ValidatePayment composite.

Review the various components of the composite.

Add a database connection to Java DB.

Import a custom activity template with an XSLT map to determine the payment status
(Authorized or Denied), based on the daily limit and the total amount of order.

Add a composite sensor PaymentStatus for the payment status

Deploy the project

Use Debugger in JDeveloper.

Test the project

SOA Templates
In SOA Suite 12c, we have a number of new features to improve sharing of common code between
teams, departments or even from a partner to a customer. Part of that is the new SOA Templates
feature. As the name suggests, they will be used as starting points in the development of SOA
applications.
These templates will either be the foundation of a project or can be added to an existing project. From
that point on it will not be visible anymore that a template has been used.
All changes made after the import point will not be reflected in the original template.
The SOA templates come in three flavors:

Project templates: They include a complete project with all components and resources used and
will be used when creating a new project in your SOA application.

Component templates: A component with all references resources and components. For
example, a BPEL process that calls a business rule or adapter can be packaged as component
template. The component does not have to be complete and does not have to compile. A
component template can be added to an existing project.
Component templates will be visible in the composite palette if theyre available in the template
path, configured in JDev.

Custom activity templates: A scope in a BPEL process, which may include an invoke/receive
from/to a partnerlink, can be packaged as a custom BPEL activity. For example, an assign activity
and a call to an adapter. Those custom activities will be available in the BPEL palette.

To learn more, please see Introduction to Oracle SOA Suite Templates.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 11 of 392

In this section, we will provide the ValidatePayment composite as a SOA Project template.
In order to leverage templates, please follow the steps below:

SOA templates that are located in the default directory (e.g.

$MW_HOME\jdeveloper\integration\templates) will be recognized automatically. Additional
directories can be added.

As the templates used for the labs have been unpacked into the ~/e2e-1201orderprocessing/templates/ folder, we will add this directory to the list of folders that are
scanned for templates.

In the main JDeveloper menu, please go to Tools Preferences.

In the Preferences window, go to SOA Templates. (If you do not see SOA in the
preferences, then you could create a new application, or open an existing one. This will load up
SOA libraries, SOA preference will show up).

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 12 of 392

Click the + button, to add folder.

Navigate to ~/e2e-1201-orderprocessing/ templates.

Click Select to accept your choice.

Click OK to close the Preferences window.

Steps in Detail
Create a new composite application and project
Create a new application. There are various ways and shortcuts to do this, and in this case choose File >
New > Application from the menu.

From the Categories tree, click on General > Applications.

Select SOA Application from the Items field.

Click OK.

In the subsequent dialog for Create SOA Application, set the following fields, leaving the others
with their default values:
a.

Application Name: e2e-1201-composites

b.

Directory of your choice.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 14 of 392

Click Next.

When you create a new application, you are prompted to create a new project. Set the following
fields:
a. Project Name: ValidatePayment
b. Keep the default Directory
c. Project Features: SOA Suite

Click Next.

The next step allows you to pick either a Standard Composite, or a SOA Template. Choose
SOA Template.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 15 of 392

Select ValidatePaymentTemplate. Click Finish.

A new project ValidatePayment is created with some predefined components as derived from
the template. You now have a canvas displaying three swim lanes: services, components, and
references.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 16 of 392

On the left hand side, you will see the Application Navigator, which shows all resources
included in a SOA project.

This Navigator has been reorganized in SOA Suite 12c to make it easier to find all files related to
SOA, and also to provide the option to customize the folder structure.

You will see a SOA folder under the project root. This is where all SOA related files and folders
are stored, such as BPEL processes, schema files, WSDL files.

The composite.xml, which defines the structure of the composite, is located directly under the
SOA folder. In previous releases, this file was just shown as composite.xml. This became
confusing when several composite.xml files from different projects were open at the same time.

In SOA Suite 12c, we now display the project name in the navigator and in the composite tab
label. It is displayed as ValidatePayment here.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 17 of 392

Concrete wsdls are supported for

SOA composites now
Composite.xml is labeled same as
the project name

The SOA folder has a number of subfolders with default names, which hold common SOA
artifacts viz. BPEL, XML schemas, WSDL files, transformation-related files and events.

You will see new subfolders created when creating new components.

The structure and names of the subfolders can be customized to your liking, as long as all folders
are located under SOA.

For more information about the Application Navigator, please see Getting Started with Developing
SOA Composite Applications.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 18 of 392

The composite diagram looks like this.

The External References swim lane contains the getpaymentInformation database adapter.
This step will provide the payment information from the database, using the credit card number
as the key. Based on expiry date, daily limit, and total amount of order, we will then calculate
whether the payment is authorized or denied.
The database adapter will process your choices, and provides a service that implements the
operation specified. The WSDL file to represent that service is getPaymentInformation.wsdl.
You can see the .jca file of the getPaymentInformation database adapter, together with two
XML files under the Adapters subfolder and the WSDL file of the getPaymentInformation
service under the WSDLs subfolder.
A schema file getPaymentInformation_table.xsd has also been created. This is used to set the
input and output variable for the DB adapter call.

In the center (components swim lane) is the validatePayment BPEL Process - it is the
component in charge of the orchestration in the SOA Suite. You will add a BPEL Process
component to orchestrate a request to the service you just created with the database adapter.
In SOA Suite 12c, BPEL process supports concrete wsdl. This BPEL process will make use of two
resource files: ValidatePayment-concrete.wsdl and CanonicalOrder.xsd.
SOA Suite 12c supports BPEL 1.1 and BPEL 2.0 and the default version is BPEL 2.0.

The Exposed Service validatepaymentprocess_client_ep is the external client web service that
will provide input to the BPEL process.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 19 of 392

Create a database connection for adapter to retrieve payment information

Note: Make sure your integrated server is running before doing this step, otherwise Java DB will not be
available.

The first step will provide the payment information from the database, using the credit card number
as the key. Based on expiry date, daily limit, and total amount of order, we will then calculate
whether the payment is authorized or denied.

The database adapter getpaymentInformation will connect to the SOA database. In order to do
that, it needs a connection which contains all the details needed to connect to the database. The
template does not carry the connection information it leverages the connection(s) configured for
the application.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 20 of 392

In the Create Database Connection dialog, enter the following details

Create Connection In: Application Resources

Connection Name: SOA

Connection Type: Java DB (Derby)

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 21 of 392

Server Name (localhost), Port (1527) and Database (soainfra) for the preconfigured Java DB are
filled in automatically.

Click the Test Connection button and verify that your connection works.

You should see Success! like in the screenshot below

Click OK.

Make sure you save all changes by clicking the Save All icon at the top of JDeveloper.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 22 of 392

Now build your project:

o

Click on Build in the main menu

Select Make ValidatePayment.jpr

You will see the build result in the Messages Log window (at the bottom of JDeveloper)

If you get an error like the one below, then something is wrong in your composite and it
needs to be fixed.

If your log looks like this, everything is fine:

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 23 of 392

Review the validatePayment BPEL process

Double-click the BPEL process to open the BPEL designer.

Notice the getPaymentInformation partnerlink already in the Partner Links swim lane. It is also
connected via the Invoke activity.

The input and output variables for the adapter call are also defined. They are leveraged when the
DB adapter is invoked.

We use Invoke activities when communicating with services, like adapters and web services.

When defining an invoke activity, you can have the input (and output) variable created
automatically. You can review these invoke activity and the variables using the new Property
Inspector (see How To Edit BPEL Activities in the Property Inspector in soa-dev-guide.pdf).

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 24 of 392

If the Property Inspector window is not open, go to Window Properties.

If the window is open on the right hand side, you may want to drag and drop it into the middle
at the bottom. On the left hand side of the property inspector you will see the same tabs as you
would see when opening the activity for editing.

The variable designated for the input will contain the data (the credit card number) that will be
sent to the service when it is invoked. It is automatically created with the correct type expected
by the service.
The name of the variable is fairly long as its a concatenation of the partner link name, the
operation and InputVariable.

Similarly inspect the Output Variable by changing to the Output tab.

These variables will be used when interacting with the getPaymentInformation service. The
output variable will be populated when the service returns a result, but you need to populate
the input variable yourself.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 25 of 392

In the BPEL process, just above the invoke activity, is the Assign activity setCreditCardNumber. You
use an Assign activity to assign data to a variable. In this case, the credit card number is assigned
that was passed into the BPEL process to the getPaymentInformation service.

The assign activity is one of the few activities where you cannot define everything in the property
inspector. We need to launch the Assign Editor.

It assigns the credit card number in the incoming payment information (in the process input
variable) to the input variable of the database adapter.

On the left hand side (source), expand the variable Variables > Process > Variables > inputVariable >
paymentInfo > ns3:PaymentInfo > ns3:CardNum

On the right hand side (target), expand Variables > Process > Variables >
getPaymentInformation_getPaymentInformationSelect_InputVariable >
getPaymentInformationSelect_inputParameters > ns4:ccnb

Note the mapping from ns3:CardNum on the left to ns4:ccnb on the right.

This creates a new copy rule, which can be seen at the bottom of the editor.

Click OK to return to the BPEL process.

We dont need an assign activity for the output variable as we will define an XSLT map to determine if
the payment is valid, based on the information returned by the database adapter.
Make sure to save everything before you continue.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 26 of 392

Calculate payment status using an XSLT map (custom activity template)

We provide an XSLT transformation to determine if the payment is valid, based on the daily
limit (retrieved from the database) and the total order amount (authorization amount in the
order message, which has been calculated in the process order project by multiplying price and
amount of every order item and adding them up).

The total amount of the order has to be smaller than the daily limit on the credit card.

In this module, the XSLT transformation is provided as a custom activity template.

In order to use the customer BPEL activity template, the directory should be included in the Tools
Preferences SOA Templates. We already mapped the folder in a prior section when project
template was used.

In your BPEL process, expand the Custom Activity Templates section in the BPEL activity palette.

If you dont see the template, close and reopen the BPEL process.

You should see the CalculatePaymentStatusScope template in the list.

Drag and drop the CalculatePaymentStatusScope template under the getPaymentInformation

invoke activity in the validatePaymentProcess BPEL process.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 27 of 392

The template dialog shows you the Name and the Description of the template and all artifacts
that are included. You will also see a list of conflicts: The template includes the
CanonicalOrder.xsd, getPaymentInformation_table.xsd, and getPaymentInformation.wsdl
which are already present in the composite:

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 28 of 392

You have the option to skip all conflict files, meaning you keep the ones in the composite, or
overwrite all with those in the template. You can also make this decision individually.

In this case we know that the files are identical and will skip all:

Select Skip All and click OK.

Adding the custom activity template creates a new scope, which includes an XSLT
transformation calculatePaymentStatus.xsl.

Select the transform activity calculatePaymentStatus, and check out the property inspector
window. When you click on the transform activity, it might give the following error message:

Click OK. We will resolve this error message few steps later.

You will see that the transformation expects two input variables: The output variable of the
database adapter, which includes the payment information stored in the database, and the
input variable of the BPEL process, which includes the total order amount.

The output is the status field in the process output message, which will either be set to Denied
or Authorized.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 29 of 392

If you want to see the definition of the XSLT file, click the edit button at the bottom:

This opens the mapper file.

Click Expand All Child Nodes on Source and Target and click on the little plus sign next to the
function in the middle.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 30 of 392

The XSLT map checks whether

o

expireDate in order input and DB are the same AND

AuthorizationAmount (= total order price) is smaller than daily limit on credit card

Save All and close the XSLT Map.

Now you need to do one more step to get the map to work (remember the error message?)

You may have noticed that the transformation activity uses scope variables, not global variables,
as source and target. That is the case because all variables used in a template are converted into
scope variables.

As the BPEL process already includes variables that can be used in this transformation, you will
edit the transform activity to use global variables instead of scope variables.

Select the transform activity in the BPEL process and in the property inspector, select the first
source variable and click the pencil icon to edit:

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 31 of 392

Select the browse button next to the Source Variable field.

Select the global variable

getPaymentInformation_getPaymentInformationSelect_OutputVariable in the Variable

Add a composite sensor for payment status

Composite sensors provide a method for implementing track able fields on messages. Composite
sensors enable you to perform the following tasks:

Monitor incoming and outgoing messages.

Locate particular instances by searching for specific sensor details in the EM console.

Publish JMS data computed from incoming and outgoing messages.

Track composite instances initiated through business event subscriptions.

You define composite sensors on service and reference binding components or on service components
that have business event subscriptions in Oracle JDeveloper. This functionality is similar to variable
sensors in BPEL processes. During runtime, composite sensor data is persisted in the database.

By adding a composite sensor for payment status, we provide the ability to search for all authorized or
denied payments.

Close the BPEL editor to return to the composite editor.

Right-click on the SOAP service and choose Configure Sensors.

Choose the validatepaymentprocess_client_ep service.

Click on the blue plus sign to create a new composite sensor.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Debug a SOA project in JDeveloper

In SOA Suite 12c, we have the ability to set breakpoints in the composite editor, BPEL process and
Service Bus pipeline.
Youre able to stop at breakpoints, look at the data, step into, step out and so on. In a BPEL process,
youre also able to change the value of a variable while debugging.

Set breakpoints in the composite by right clicking on an interface and create a Request or Reply
Breakpoint or both. For one-directional interfaces, you only get one option.

The breakpoints are little red icons with an arrow pointing in the direction of the flow.

In a BPEL process, right-click on an activity and choose Toggle Breakpoint. This will set a
breakpoint is there is none and remove if there is already a breakpoint.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 43 of 392

These breakpoints are red dots only without arrow as the flow is always in one direction:

Set as many breakpoints as you want.

Important:
To make debugging easier for now, you should have a breakpoint at the beginning of every BPEL
process to make sure the debugger stops there.

Now start the debugger for your project:

Right-click on the project and choose Debug

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 44 of 392

You can debug local or remote. When the debugger is started, a window pops up asking which
server you want to use for debugging. It also asks for the debug port (default is 5004 for SOA,
but can be changed) and the timeout for the debugger when inactive.

Debugger properties are stored per project. If you previously imported a solution from a
different machine, the HOST will most likely have to be changed.

These values can also be stored in the JDeveloper properties and you can skip this dialog in the
future if you always want to use the same options.

Choose your host and leave the defaults.

Click OK.

If youve made changes to your project, it needs to be redeployed. This includes setting of
breakpoints.

You will be lead through the deploy wizard step by step if that is the case.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 45 of 392

The debugger is ready when you see this message:

Every web service endpoint now shows a message that you can use the context menu to
initialize WS debugging:

Right-click on the WS interface and choose Initiate WS Debugging

This opens HTTP Analyzer.

Fill in all fields or choose HTTP Content at the bottom to be able to copy and paste an xml file

Use the sample file provided: PaymentInfoSample_Authorized_soap.xml.

Be aware that this sample message already includes the SOAP envelope needed for testing.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 47 of 392

Hit Send Request.

If everything goes well, you should now see the debugger stop at your first breakpoint:

The active breakpoint turns blue and starts pulsing

Go to the Data tab at the bottom of JDeveloper and look at your variable values:

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 48 of 392

Step over (F8) to start your BPEL process.

Step through the BPEL process one activity at a time, using F8, and see how the variable values
change.

If you step through an assign activity, you will see the debugger step through the copy rules that
are included in the assign

If you set a breakpoint at the database adapter, it will jump out of BPEL and back to the
composite

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Build SOA Composites

Page 49 of 392

Note the values that come back from the adapter.

After the calculate payment activity, the payment status has been set:

See what happens when you modify a value:

On the left hand side, you also see the stack trace:

Finish the debugger by stepping to the end of your BPEL process.

Back in HTTP Analyzer, you can see the result:

NOTE:
Please make sure to terminate the debugger before you continue with the implementation. As long as
the debugger is running, you will not be able to edit.
To stop the debugger, click the big red icon in the Tools section and choose your project.

Test the SOA composite

You can test your project following the steps in Test the SOA project with EM FMWC in the Appendix
section of this document.
Please also check the audit level on the server, following the steps outlined in section Check the audit
level on the SOA Server in the Appendix section of this document.
When testing in EM FMWC you need to add a SOAP envelope to the test message. In order to make
testing easier, we already added the soap envelope to the test messages.
There are two sample message available in ~/e2e-1201-orderprocessing/sample_input to test the
validatePayment project: PaymentInfoSample_Authorized _soap.xml,
PaymentInfoSample_Denied_soap.xml.

Part 2: Register Composite on Service Bus

Now that you have completed the validatePayment composite, you will register it on Service Bus.
Service Bus will protect consumers of the validatePayment composite from routine changes such as
deployment location and implementation updates. Service Bus will help scale the service to handle
higher volume of requests and provide resiliency for the service if it needs to be taken down for routine
maintenance.
You will start by first creating a Business Service to register the composite URI. You will then add a
simple Pipeline and Proxy. Pipelines contain actions performed on the Service Bus, typically reporting,
data transformation and validation, before invoking the backend service. Consumers of
validatePayment service will invoke via the Proxy rather than connect directly to the composite,
allowing more agility and flexibility in managing change.
If you need documentation help during this section, please consult the Service Bus Documentation.
After completing this section, your Service Bus application should look like the following.

View of Service Bus project after Part 2 is complete.

High-Level Steps
During this lab, you will accomplish the following tasks:

Create a new Service Bus application and new project ValidatePayment.

Create folders and import WSDL and XSD resource.
Configure a business service for the ValidatePayment composite and review properties.
Create proxy and pipeline and wire to the business service.

Test and Debug the end-to-end application.

Chapter 2: Validate Payment: Register Composite on Service Bus

Page 57 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

The Overview Editor is a new view for Service Bus in SOA Suite 12c, and modeled from the SOA
Composite Editor.
This view allows you to construct Service Bus projects using a top-down, drag and drop approach. You
can create Proxy, Pipeline, and Business Services by dragging icons from the Component Palette on the
right, to the lanes of the canvas.
Please take a few moments to browse the Application navigator on the left of the screen and the
Component palette on the right.
On the Component Palette, notice the Resources category contains Pipeline and Split-Join icons. These
are the components for a Service Bus application. In this release, the Pipeline has been split from the
Proxy to allow it to be a re-usable component.
Other Palette categories, Technology, Adapters and Advanced, contain adapters and transports for
building Business Services (External References) and Proxy (Exposed Services).
If your Properties window is on the bottom right of the JDeveloper screen, please drag and position it to
the bottom center as shown in the above diagram. This will make editing properties of Pipeline actions
easier.

Create folders and import artifacts.

In Service Bus applications, Folders are leveraged to organize artifacts within a Project. For brand new
applications, we encourage you to create folders that align with the default folders in your Composite
application. Folders will not be automatically created in Service Bus applications so that backward
compatibility of Service Bus projects imported from previous releases is maintained.
For this project, we will keep the structure simple since there are only a few artifacts to manage. As
your projects grow in subsequent chapters, you will add folders for categorizing artifacts into Business
Service, Proxy and Templates.

From the ValidatePayment project icon, select New> From Gallery.

Select Folder.

Chapter 3: Process Order

Overview
In this chapter, you will build the basis of the new order processing system for Avitek, referred to as
ProcessOrder.
Recall a few of the business requirements for Avitek s new order processing system:

Many different types of clients will access it over different protocols and data formats, including
mobile devices.

With a mobile app launch in progress, next year at the latest, the new order processing system
must support access via RESTful API.

It must allow existing systems to place orders using xml files and CSV files. These should be
processed and fulfilled using the same new order provisioning infrastructure.

It must interface with trading partners and provide EDI support.

In this chapter, you will see templates, a new feature in SOA Suite, at work in BPEL as well as Service
Bus. You will leverage the validatePayment service you built in Chapter 2.
At the end of this chapter, your solution will look similar to the following (from an architectural
perspective).

Chapter 3: Process Order Overview

Page 78 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Prerequisites

Chapter 2: Validate Payment should be complete or the chapter solutions deployed. If you did
not complete Chapter 2, please deploy the solutions. The Deploy Chapter Solutions section in
the Appendix gives detailed instructions for deploying solutions.

Tutorial resources have been included and unzipped to a directory of your choice. When
referring to any resources in the following chapters, we will always refer to directories relative
to the unzipped location as ~/e2e-1201-orderprocessing. For example ~/e2e-1201orderprocessing/sample-input/input.xml.

When referring to resources in the following text, we will always assume the location you
unzipped e2e-1201-orderprocessing and has structure as follows:

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Part 1: Build Process Order Composite

You will now create another SOA application that will accept new purchase orders, approve them and
forward them to the fulfillment system. You will use a project template to implement the basic order
processing scenario, add a call to the payment validation service built in chapter 2 and update the order
status in the database based on the outcome of the payment validation.
The order status update will be converted to a BPEL subprocess to make it easily re-usable.

Once completed, your composite will look like this:

High-Level Steps

Import SOA template.

Before the order is processed, the credit card payment is validated using the validatePayment
service built in Chapter 2.

If the payment is denied, the order status is set to Denied and the processing is stopped.

If the payment is authorized, the order status is set to Authorized and the order is processed.

When the order processing is finished, the order status is set to ReadyForShip.

The Fulfill Order process to pick up orders that are ready to be fulfilled will use this status.

Chapter 3: Process Order: Build Process Order Composite

Page 80 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Steps in Detail
Import template
We will start by importing a SOA project template with a number of components already predefined.
These components can:

Receive an order through a web service call.

Create order number, set order date to current date and set order status =New.

Calculate the total order amount.

Save the order in the database with status=New.

Return an acknowledgement to the client with the order number.

The template has been provided as part of the resources for the labs, and should be located in the
templates folder.
In the previous chapter, we added this location to the list of folders where JDeveloper looks for
templates. If you havent done that yet, please follow the steps:

In the main JDeveloper menu, select Tools - Preferences

In the Preferences window, select SOA - Templates

Click Add

Navigate to the templates folder

Click Select to accept your choice

Click OK to close the Preferences window.

Create a new project ProcessOrder from a project template

In chapter 2, you used project template to accelerate building the Validate Payment service, as well as a
custom activity template for the XSLT transformation.
In this section, you will create the ProcessOrder composite (order processing service) based on the
provided project template in the e2e-1201-composites application.

Open the e2e-1201-composites application:

Use OrderSample_soap.xml (in the sample_input folder) for testing the web service interface.
Please note that this sample file includes the soap envelope needed for testing.

Check if new order records have been created in the database.

Chapter 3: Process Order: Build Process Order Composite

Page 83 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Add the payment validation

The order will only be processed if the payment is valid.
Remember that we already implemented the payment validation in the previous lab. Now we will add a
call to invoke this payment validation from process order.

Looking at the ProcessOrder composite, you will see that the BPEL process receiveOrder only sets the
order number (which is provided back to the client) and the order date, and then calls
validateAndProcessOrder to validate and process the order.

SOA Suite provides a mechanism to browse services that are deployed in a SOA or Service Bus project in
the integrated or a remote application server. The process is detailed below.
There are additional ways to find WSDL services that are available on the file system, in the repository or
in other locations.
In this lab, we will browse to the ValidatePS.proxy service, which has been deployed in the same
integrated server as the SOA composites.
First, we define a reference to the validate payment service.

In the composite drag-and-drop a SOAP web service into the External References swimlane.

Name it validatePaymentService

Click on the icon next to the WSDL URL field to find the validatePayment WSDL.

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Open the validateAndProcessOrder BPEL process and add the call to validatePaymentService.

You will see that there is now a new partnerlink in the BPEL process for the payment validation.

But lets first have a look at what has already been defined in the process.

After assigning the order to a process variable, validateAndProcessOrder calculates the total
order amount, which is used to validate the payment. Remember, this was an input to the
payment validation service.

The calculation is done through an XSLT map.

Chapter 3: Process Order: Build Process Order Composite

Page 88 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

An assign activity then adds the total order amount to the order message.

The writeOrderScope includes all activities involved in writing the order to the database.

Chapter 3: Process Order: Build Process Order Composite

Page 89 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

If the payment is denied, we will cancel the order and update the order status in the database
accordingly.

The last step in the predefined process is to update the status in the database with the value of
the status element in the order message. This will be re-used several times in this process:
o

To update the order status with the outcome of the payment validation (Denied or
Authorized)

To update the status to ReadyForShip if the payment has been authorized and the order
process has been completed.

Now add the remaining activities to the BPEL process. Before you do that, collapse the scopes to make
the design look less crowded.

Add an invoke activity between the writeOrderScope and the updateOrderStatusScope. It

should be after the Dehydrate activity. The dehydrate activity is needed in the BPEL after the
Order is created, and before the validate Payment service is invoked. This will assist in properly
handling an error situation if ValidatePayment composite is down, restarted, and failed
instances of Order process are recovered.

This is a good point to deploy and test the project again. Feel free to also debug the project, and the
BPEL processes to get a feel for what theyre doing.
Please follow the steps outlined in Test the SOA project with EM FMWC in the Appendix section.
Use OrderSample_soap.xml as sample message.

When you now open the flow instance in EM FMWC and choose the Composites tab, you will see both
composites within one flow instance:

ProcessOrder is the initiating composite

ValidatePayment is participating.

You will also see the service bus proxy service as part of the flow trace.
Make sure there are no errors in the flow trace.

Change the sample message to cause the payment validation to be denied (increase the
order items to extend the daily limit of the credit card, the daily limit is $1000).

Also verify that the PaymentStatus sensor is still set correctly.

Update the order status in the Database

The database adapter, which updates the order status, has already been defined within the
ProcessOrder template and an invocation of the service has been added to the
validateAndProcessOrder BPEL process:

This invocation of the database adapter will now update the order status to Denied or Authorized,
according to the return value of validatePayment.

Chapter 3: Process Order: Build Process Order Composite

Page 99 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Use an inline BPEL subprocess for the order status update

The order status update will be used at least once more in the same BPEL process. For this, you have to
repeat the same assign and invoke activities that we already used.
This is an error prone process and every time a change is necessary, it has to be implemented in all
those places.

To avoid this, we introduced a new feature in SOA Suite 12c called a BPEL subprocess.
BPEL sub-processes come in two flavors standalone, and inline.

About the standalone subprocess:

This is a fragment of a BPEL process, which includes a number of activities that will be re-used
across a number of other BPEL processes.

The standalone subprocess doesnt have an interface and can only be called from another BPEL
process, but it can have partner links.

In the composite view, the wire to a subprocess is shown as dotted line to indicate that this is
not a wire between actual components.

We introduced a new call activity in BPEL to be able to invoke a subprocess.

In the first release of SOA Suite 12c, we only support subprocesses in the same composite

Standalone subprocesses are visible in the component palette.

About the inline subprocess:

For groups of activities that are re-used within just one BPEL process, you can use an inline
subprocess.

Its part of the parent BPEL process code and not visible in the composite view.

We also use a call activity for this.

You can either define parameters to be set or use the process parameters.

The inline subprocess is visible in the BPEL palette.

Activities must be in a scope in order to be converted into a subprocess

At run-time, the subprocess code is re-entrant and re-usable only one copy is stored in
memory, even if it is called 20 times.

To learn more about BPEL subprocesses, please see chapter Oracle SOA Suite Templates and Reusable
Subprocesses in soa-dev-guide.pdf.

Chapter 3: Process Order: Build Process Order Composite

Page 100 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

The order status update scope will be converted into an inline BPEL subprocess as its only used within
the same BPEL process.

Collapse the scope updateOrderStatusScope.

Right-click on the scope.

Choose Convert to a Subprocess.

Chapter 3: Process Order: Build Process Order Composite

Page 101 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Name it updateOrderStatusSP (By default it uses the scope name)

Leave Replace Scope with Subprocess Call checked. This will automatically replace the current
scope with a Call activity

Optionally set a label, comment and choose an image for your new subprocess.

Click OK

You will now see a new call activity in your process

You can also see the subprocess in the palette under Subprocesses

Chapter 3: Process Order: Build Process Order Composite

Page 102 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

You can see and edit the definition of the subprocess when switching from Main Process to the
subprocess on top of the BPEL editor

You can see all partner links that are available in the main process, in case you want to add
another invoke.

You can make changes to this subprocess, which will be reflected in every call.

Before we test the process, lets change the name of the call activity.

Select the call activity and change the name in the property inspector to updateOrderStatus.

Deploy, test and debug the process again, the actual result should not change.

You will notice that you now see the call activity in your audit trail with the activities included in the
subprocess:

Add an Order Number sensor to the Order Process composite

We already have a sensor for the payment status, now we will also define one for the order number.
At this point, composite sensors can only be set on services and references. The SOAP interface
receiveorder_client_ep returns the orderNumber in the order acknowledgement message. Thats
where we will define the sensor.

Go to the composite view of the ProcessOrder composite.

Right-click on the SOAP interface receiveorder_client_ep

Choose Configure Sensors

Update the order status to ReadyForShip if the payment has been authorized
If the payment is valid, the order status is set to ReadyForShip in the database. This status update will
trigger the order fulfillment process, which will be built in a latter chapter.
If the payment is not valid, processing ends here.
First we add an If statement. The order will only continue if the payment was authorized. Otherwise
processing is stopped and an email is sent to the customer informing him of his unauthorized payment.
If in BPEL 2.0 is the equivalent of switch in BPEL 1.1.

Open the validateAndProcessOrder BPEL process if its not already open

Add an If under the sub process call. (You find the If activity under BPEL Constructs Structured

The else branch is not necessary, as the processing will just stop if the payment has been
denied. Delete the else branch:

Confirm the deletion

If the payment has been authorized, the processing of the order is complete and we update the
order status to ReadyForShip

In the If branch, add an assign activity to update order status to ReadyForShip

Name it assignReadyForShipStatus

Open the Assign Editor

Expand the order variable on the right hand side to the Status element and drag an Expression

Part 2: Register Process Order on Service Bus

Now that you have completed and tested the Process Order composite, you will register it on Service
Bus to make it available for external consumers. Service Bus will allow the Process Order composite to
be made available over different protocols and data formats without disruption to the core business
logic in the composite. Service Bus will also validate the Order data and report for auditing.
For now, you will just create an HTTP / SOAP Proxy and Pipeline for Process Order. You can also add a
File Proxy and Pipeline to allow orders to be processed from legacy systems.

View of Service Bus project after Part 2 is complete.

High-Level Steps

Open e2e-1201-servicebus application and import Pipeline template resources (new

feature!).
Configure ProcessOrder Business Service.
Configure Pipeline and Proxy using Pipeline template.
Test your application end-to-end.

Steps in Detail
Open existing service bus application and import template resources

Open your e2e-1201-servicebus application from Chapter 2. If already open, then navigate to it.

Chapter 3: Process Order: Register on Service Bus

Page 117 of 392

Default path ~ /e2e-1201-orderprocessing/templates/pipeline-template-resources.jar.

Click Open

Click Next

Import Service Bus Resources- Step 3 of 3 - Review exactly what is being imported into your
application.
Service Bus supports the ability to import and export artifacts and projects at fine-grain level.
You may import artifacts individually, such as a WSDL or schema, or whole projects. You may
control whether dependencies are included or not.
By default, when importing individual artifacts, Service Bus will attempt to import all
dependencies declared in the artifact. For example, if a WSDL includes a schema, the schema
will also be imported if the paths are relative.
Also note you can control if environmental settings, security policies, and credentials are
preserved on import. If you are bringing artifacts from a production environment for testing
and editing you may not want all the same policies applied in your development environment
for example.

You will accept all defaults in this case.

Register ProcessOrder composite as a business service

As you did in Chapter 2, you will first register the composite on Service Bus by creating a Business
Service. This time, rather than dragging and dropping from the Component Palette, you will create
using a menu-based Insert on the External Services lane.

First, make sure your overview editor is active by double-clicking on the

top or in the left-hand Application Navigator. Your canvas will be blank.

Now, right-click on the External Services lane of the overview editor.

Mouse-over Insert Transports and select HTTP.

This will bring up the same Business Service dialog that you leveraged in Chapter 2. Hopefully these
dialogs will be familiar to you now so we will just give you the settings.

Click OK.

Click Next.

Create Business Service Step 3 of 3:

Service Type: WSDL-based service
Transport: Leave as HTTP
Endpoint URI: Leave default

If you need to change the endpoint URI, you could do this from this dialog or wait until later and
change under the Business Service -> Transport tab. Service Bus also allows you to have multiple
endpoints for your Business Service to support application load-balancing and failover.

Click Finish.

Chapter 3: Process Order: Register on Service Bus

Before you proceed, why not quickly test your new Business Service and make sure the endpoint is a
good one. Do you remember how to do this? One simple way is directly from the overview canvas.

First, click Save All

Right-click ProcessBS icon on the External Services lane and select Run from the menu.

New Concept: What does Run do exactly?

If your Integrated Server is running, your project will be deployed and a window will be displayed, ready
for testing.
If your Integrated Server is not running, then it will be started, and then your project will be deployed
and a window will be displayed, ready for testing.
If your Integrated Server domain has not yet been created, a dialog will pop-up asking for your
password for the domain and a few other setting, then the domain will be created and started. Finally,
your project will be deployed and a window will be displayed, ready for testing..
Not much work on your part!

Once the Test Console is displays, Click on the Browse (Linux) or Choose File button (Windows) and
navigate to ~/e2e-1201-orderprocessing/sample_input and select OrderSample.xml.
You can also select the XML tab, and select the OrderSample_soap.xml

Chapter 3: Process Order: Register on Service Bus

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Select the Execute button.

You should receive a response document that contains an OrderNumber from your ProcessOrder
composite. You are ready to build your Pipeline and Proxy!

Create new pipeline with proxy using a pipeline template

Now instead of creating the Pipeline for ProcessOrder from scratch, you will leverage a Pipeline
Template. The template encapsulates all the repetitive tasks common with building a Pipeline such
as routing, data validation, reporting, error handling and alerting under error conditions.

First, make sure your overview editor is active by double-clicking on the ProcessOrderSB icon
on top center or in the left-hand Application Navigator.

Locate the Pipeline icon on the Component palette and drag onto the middle of your canvas.

Chapter 3: Process Order: Register on Service Bus

Page 125 of 392

When the Pipeline Template chooser appears, navigate to Application>SharedSB>Templates and

select WSDL-VR.ptx.

Template for WSDL based services that does validation and routing. It also includes error-handling
and alerting but that would get a bit long.

Click OK

Click Next

Create Pipeline Step 2 of 2

Since this is a WSDL-based template, notice the Service Type is pre-selected as WSDL for you. All
you need to do is select the precise WSDL you wish to use for the Pipeline.

Check the box for Expose as Proxy Service and set Proxy Name: ProcessPS. Leave rest of the values
to their defaults.

Click Finish.

On your canvas you will now see your new Pipeline created from a Template.
The pipeline created still needs some work so it may show an error or a warning (example of an error
in the diagram below).

Double-click on the ProcessPP Pipeline and lets drill down to take a closer look.

This Pipeline looks different than the one weve worked with before. Notice that the background is
grey. This indicates we are working with a Pipeline derived from a Template. The Template
Designer has made some items editable and others not.

Chapter 3: Process Order: Register on Service Bus

Page 129 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

This Pipeline has all kinds of good stuff already built for you Data Validation, Routing, Error
Handling - all you need to do is fill in the blanks. What blanks need to be filled in? Notice the
flags these indicate areas that still need to be filled in to have a valid Pipeline. Service Bus
has strong design-time validation so it will help you keep track when the Pipeline has been
completely filled out.

Notice the Your Request Stages. This is where the Template Designer has left a placeholder for you
to customize the Pipeline to do any additional work like transformations, message enrichment
before the data Validation action will be performed, likewise on the Response Pipeline.

Also, notice the Error Handler at the top right. Best practice is to always have an Error Handler
defined for Pipelines. This pre-defined Error Handler will report the error back to the caller with
good details and also send up an Alert to the EM console that something is wrong with processing.
Likely we may have invalid Order data incoming.

Chapter 3: Process Order: Register on Service Bus

Page 130 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Before editing the derived Pipeline, select the Configuration tab at the bottom of the canvas.

Review the instructions given by the Template Designer in the Description area before proceeding.
This is where documentation of how to use the Template should be captured and shared by the
Template Designer to the Developer using the template.

Re-select the Design tab, and lets now fill in the template and complete our Pipeline.
First, lets get rid of those

flags.

Double-click on the Validation action to open the Property Editor.

NOTE: If the Property inspector is not visible you can make it appear by going to the menu and
selecting Windows->Properties. The window should appear, usually in the right bottom corner.
Move to the bottom center of your screen for easiest access.

Page 131 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Open the Data Validation stage and select the Validate action. You will validate the incoming
payload against the canonical Order element type that the ProcessOrder composite is expecting. By
validating in Service Bus, you save precious resources in the backend that are actually processing
good orders.

We only need to fill in the type to validate against. The location has already been provided by the
Template Designer. Since this is a WSDL based service, Service Bus knows our data types and can help
us easily fill in the blanks.

In the Properties tab see Schema, select Static

You may raise an error (default) or simply assign the value to a variable that you can check in your
Pipeline. Perhaps you have a service that fixes common data entry type mistakes.
New Feature: Dynamic validation is supported in this release, so you can determine at runtime the
schema type to check based on an expression.

Move to the Reporting action in the Auditing stage of the response flow. Lets customize to report
on the Order number that is returned from our composite. The template already saves a copy of
the incoming Order in case of an error and reports it to EM.

Chapter 4: Add New Order Channel

Overview
Now that the core order system is built for Avitek, you will extend and add a new interface so that
legacy systems may place orders without impacting the backend application. Service Bus can provide
protocol and data translation to minimize any disruption to the backend business logic of ProcessOrder.
In this chapter, you will add new File order channel for your ProcessOrder leveraging the work done in
previous chapters. You will add new Proxy to handled incoming orders by file and translate commondelimited format with nXSD.
Along the way you will also learn more about monitoring Service Bus in Enterprise Manager.

Part 1: Add file adapter proxy and wire to pipeline

You will use the File Adapter wizard to add a new File-based proxy for Process Order leveraging the
overview editor and Component Palette. In SOA Suite 12c, the Adapter wizards are shared between
SOA and Service Bus, so hopefully the steps below will be quite familiar to you if you use adapters in
SOA composite applications. The new File proxy will transform a comma-delimited file to a valid Order
xml which the ProcessOrder service can use, validate it and call the ProcessOrder SOA service.
At the end of this lab, your ProcessSB project should resemble the following:

Part 2: Review Service Bus in Enterprise Manager

Lets take a look at the new Service Bus monitoring in Enterprise Manager. In previous releases, Service
Bus packaged its own monitoring console along with the Design Console. The monitoring console has
been combined with the rest of SOA Suite. The split will also align better with roles of developers and
administrators within the organization. Now all of SOA Suite components can be management by
administrators from one unified Enterprise Manager Console.

High-Level Steps

Bring up the Enterprise Manager console and navigate to Service Bus

Enable monitoring on all services in the Operations tab.

Review the various monitoring tabs.

Review Message Reports.

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Overview
In this chapter, you will build the first part of the order fulfillment service. After the order has been
successfully processed, it needs to be packed and shipped.
Avitek has a number of preferred shipping providers, each of them assigned to a specific shipping
method. This method is calculated based on the shipping speed the customer chose when placing the
order and the shipping state (in address).
Once the order has been shipped, an email is sent to the customer confirming the shipping provider and
the order status is updated to Shipped.
This chapter will build the pack and ship service, including the email notification.
The next chapter will build the fulfill order service, which identifies the shipping provider and calls the
pack and ship service.

Prerequisites

JDeveloper is up and running.

The integrated server in JDeveloper is up and running with at least Chapter 3 completed. Make
sure the debugger has been terminated.

If you did not complete Chapter 3, obtain and deploy the solution, following the steps below:
To deploy solutions:
-

Locate ~/e2e-1201-orderprocessing/solutions/ch4-addOrderInputChannels

Unzip e2e-1201-composites_ch3.zip to a location of your choice (the SOA composite did not change
in chapter 4, thats why youll use the chapter 3 solution)

Open JDeveloper

Open the previously unzipped application by selecting Application Open from the main JDeveloper
menu

Select e2e-1201-composites.jws in e2e-1201-composites

Alternatively, if you already have an application e2e-1201-composites and only need to import specific
projects
Locate from the following list of projects the ones you want to import in ~/e2e-1201orderprocessing/solutions/ ch4-addOrderInputChannels/SOAProjects:
-

ValidatePayment_ch2zip

ProcessOrder_ch3.zip

Extract the project into the e2e-1201-composites folder

Page 192 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Introduction
In this chapter, you will build the pack and ship service.
The pack and ship service is defined with a REST interface and accepts a Shipping resource (part of the
canonical order message). It initiates the packing and shipping of one order and notifies the customer
that the order has shipped.
It also updates the order status in the database to Shipped.
Once done, your project will look like this.

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Page 193 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

High-level steps

Create a new project PackAndShipService.

Create a SOA REST inbound interface using Shipping as a resource.

Create a BPEL process to

set the status of the order to Shipped.

update the status of the order in the database.

send an email to the customer that the order has been shipped.

Add a composite sensor for the ShippingProvider.

Test the service in JDeveloper.

Inspect the instances in EM FMWC.

Steps in Detail
Create the Packing Service project
Oracle Service Bus provided REST support in 11g, but Oracle SOA Suite 11g had very limited support
through HTTP binding only.
SOA Suite 12c provides the following REST support:

Support in SOA composite applications:

o Enable REST support in new or existing services
o Integrate with external REST APIs
o Orchestrate a set of RESTful state transitions (RPC/HATEOAS approach)
o Support for XML, JSON (with automatic translation to and from XML), and URL-encoded
GET/POST data
Ease of development:
o Oracle JDeveloper wizard for modeling REST interfaces and WSDL mappings
o Readable API that publishes each method used upon deployment
o Ability to browse and consume Oracle REST endpoints (including Oracle Service Bus)
from within Oracle JDeveloper
Oracle Web Service Manager (OWSM) policy support for REST security
Support for the following use cases:
o Get a list of customers
o Create a new customer
o Get customer details
o Update customer details
o Delete a customer
o Create a new address for a customer
o Get a customers address
o Update a customers address

For more information, please see Integrating REST Operations in SOA Composite Applications in soadev-guide.pdf.

Please follow the steps below to create a SOA Suite 12c REST service:

Create a new SOA project PackAndShipService with an empty composite in the application e2e1201-composites.

Deploy this project, following the same steps as you did previously

Testing a REST service is different than testing a SOAP service. The details will be explained
in the next section.

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Page 222 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Test the REST service in JDeveloper

SOA REST services expose WADL files instead of WSDL files to define their interface. You can read more
about WADL in Web Application Description Language on Wikipedia and W3C Web Application
Description Language.
In order to be able to test the REST service, you will need to get the WADL location from EM FMWC.

Deploy the PackAndShip Service

Open EM FMWC: Error! Hyperlink reference not valid., substitute your own host name and port
number.

Click on the deployed composite PackAndShipService

Click on the Show WADL and Text Description URL icon

This opens the Service WADL and Text Description URL window:

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Page 223 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Copy the WADL URL to a place where youll be able to retrieve it in a later step. You will need it
for testing the service in JDeveloper.

It will look something like: http://slc04rbc.us.oracle.com:7101/soainfra/resources/default/PackAndShipService!1.0/packingService/application.wadl

Go back to JDeveloper.

From the menu in the main JDeveloper window, select Tools HTTP Analyzer

Drag the window up from the bottom for easier access

Click Open URL

Enter the WADL URL you copied above

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Page 224 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Press Return

You will now see the WADL file which includes the POST method

If the WADL file opens in source view and you dont see a design tab, close and restart
JDeveloper.

Within the WADL file design view, click Test in the POST method

Copy and paste the sample message you created previously (SampleShipping.xml)

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Page 225 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Click on Send Request below the sample message

After a little while, you should see a response message with order status Shipped

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Page 226 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Repeat the same test with ShippingSample.xml in ~/e2e-1201-orderprocessing/sample_input.

You tested the REST service successfully!

You can leave the window open and perform additional tests after you make further changes.

Update the order status in the database

In addition to updating the order status in the shipping message, the order status must be updated in
the database.
Recall from chapter 3 that this is an action that needs to be performed repeatedly.
A component template has been prepared for you. It includes a standalone BPEL subprocess that calls a
database adapter to update the order status.

The template looks like this:

If you havent done so already in chapter 2, add the path to the templates folder to the list of folders
that are scanned for templates.
Open Tools Preferences and choose SOA Templates:

The following steps describe how to add the updateOrderStatusSP template to the pack and ship
project.

Open the PackAndShipService composite if its not already open.

In the Components palette, scroll to the bottom where you see the Component Templates

Make sure updateOrderStatusSP is visible

If its not visible, close and reopen the composite editor

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Page 228 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Drag and drop the template in the middle of the component palette

A window opens providing an overview of all artifacts bundled with the template.

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Page 229 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

You can see all artifacts necessary for the database adapter and the subprocess. None of the
artifacts are optional.

Click OK to accept

The composite now includes the adapter and the subprocess.

Open the updateOrderStatusSP subprocess to see what it does.

You will notice an assign activity and an invoke activity to the database adapter.

The assign takes an order number and an order status and assigns it to the input variable of the
adapter.

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Page 230 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Close the subprocess and open the packAndShipOrderProcess BPEL process

The call to the updateOrderStatusSP subprocess is available in the BPEL constructs palette
under Subprocesses - Standalone

Drag and drop it under the setOrderStatusToShipped assign activity

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Page 231 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Change the name to updateOrderStatusToShipped

In the property inspector you can see the arguments for the subprocess.

We only need to provide the order number and order status.

Select the orderNumber and click on the small area behind the value to select the input.

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Page 232 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Browse to the variable orderNumber

In the variable chooser, pick the variable orderNumber

Click OK

Click OK

Repeat the process to set the variable orderStatus.

Chapter 5: Pack and Ship Service

Page 233 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

No other variables need to be set as theyre internal to the subprocess.

In order to test this service, you must use an existing order number value for orderNumber. The easiest
way to do this is to run ProcessOrder first and make note of the order number.
When you have an order number, test the PackAndShipService, using the ShippingSample.xml sample
file, replacing the orderNumber with the ProcessOrder output.
Check the flow trace to make sure there was no error:

Introduction
In this chapter, you will build the order fulfillment service.
The service is triggered when an order is updated as ReadyForShip in the database. It then locates the
shipping speed in the order message, determines the shipping method based on shipping speed and
shipping state, reads the preferred shipping provider from the database or cache, and calls the pack and
ship REST service.
When its completed, your project will look like this.

Chapter 6: Fulfill Order

Page 256 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

High-Level Steps

Create a new SOA project called FulfillOrder from a project template.

The DB adapter polls the order table for orders that are ready for shipment. (This will be used
later for the ESS use case where we activate this adapter only at certain times of the day.).

It receives a single order and transforms it into a fulfillment order (using XSLT).

A business rule (decision table) is used to decide the shipping method based on shipping speed
and shipping state.

Based on the shipping method, the preferred shipping provider is retrieved from the database.

The Order is sent to the packing service via SOA REST outbound.

The coherence adapter puts the shipping provider into the cache, so that it can be retrieved
from the cache instead of the database.

Chapter 6: Fulfill Order

Page 259 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Get familiar with the FulfillOrder project

Importing the project template creates a new project with two database adapters and a BPEL
process

The first database adapter listens to orders with status ReadyForShip, reads the record out of the
database and triggers a new BPEL process for each order.

In order to prevent the order from being read again, it changes the status to ReadyForPack.

The second database adapter reads the shipping provider from the database, using the shipping
method ID as primary key.

As part of the database setup, we keep a list of preferred shipping providers per shipping method.
For example, USPS is used for USAFirstClass shipping (shipping method ID =1), UPS for USAPriority
(shipping method ID =2), and so on.

Lets have a look at the BPEL process receiveOrderToShip

Double click the BPEL process to edit it

The process is started by the database adapter input

The message provided from the database adapter is in a format specific to the database adapter.

An XSLT map is used to transform the message into a canonical order message

The fulfillOrder BPEL process is invoked with the canonical order message as input.

The fulfillOrder BPEL process is also already partially predefined:

Chapter 6: Fulfill Order

Page 260 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

The incoming order message includes the shipping speed selected by the customer:

Standard shipping: 3-5 business days

Two-Day shipping

One-Day shipping

The shipping method ID is hard-coded at the moment to 2 (=USAPriority). This will be replaced by a
business rule that determines the shipping method based on shipping speed and shipping address.

This shipping method ID is used as input to the database call to retrieve the shipping provider.

One of the following sections will describe how to invoke the previously defined packAndShip REST
service.

The last section will explain how to use the coherence cache for the shipping provider instead of
reading it from the database every time its needed.

Chapter 6: Fulfill Order

Page 261 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Determine the Shipping Method through Business Rules

This section adds a business rule to determine the shipping method ID.
The rule takes as input the shipping state and the requested shipping speed and returns the shipping
method ID. For the purposes of this lab, use state to determine if shipping should be ground or air,
assuming that in the state where the shipping facilities are would not require air for the requested
speed.
The rule input and output are both of type Shipping.

State (in Address) is a string.

Shipping speed is an enumeration: Standard, Twoday, Oneday.

Shipping method ID is an integer. Some pre-defined values are: 1 (USAFirstClass), 2

(USAPriority), 3 (USAFreeMail).

And sensors for OrderNumber and ShippingProvider:

Add the coherence lookup for the Shipping Provider

Before you start the lab, the Coherence Adapter has to be active and targeted to the server.
If you followed the steps in chapter 5, section UMS Setup and Configuration, to target the UMS and
coherence adapter, you dont need to do anything else.
Otherwise, please follow the steps below:

When you extracted the soabeta.zip file, it created an AdapterConfig folder under e2e-1201orderprocessing/scripts. This folder includes the scripts necessary for the UMS setup.

On linux, you may have to change permissions for the script files. Please make sure you can
execute them..

Open up a command prompt and navigate to the AdapterConfig folder.

Ensure that MW_HOME is set. For example execute the following command on windows: set
MW_HOME=C:\Middleware\0610\soabeta or on linux setenv MW_HOME
/user/sgeib/0610/soabeta, using the correct path for your installation

Open up the target_adapters.py file and check the host/port, userName, password and the
server name.
The script uses the default values and should work if you havent made any changes to the
defaults. If you didnt use the default values, please change the file accordingly

host: localhost
port: 7101

Chapter 6: Fulfill Order

Page 298 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

username/password: weblogic/welcome1
Server Name: DefaultServer

Run target_adapters.bat on windows or target_adapters.sh on linux.

You should now be able to see that the adapters are in Active state in the WLS Admin Console.

Navigate to Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. where host/port are the admin server
host and port values (default is http://localhost:7101/console).
Click on Deployments on the left hand side.

You should see the Coherence Adapter in the table on the right.

Your Composite deployment will fail if the adapter is untargeted.

Next, we will incorporate the coherence lookup. For this, we must structure the database call so that it is
invoked only if the data is not found in the cache.

The steps for this are:

Invoke Get on the coherence cache via coherence adapter (lookup by Shipping Method
ID)

Chapter 6: Fulfill Order

Page 299 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Check the response to see if any data was returned

If data was returned, populate the Shipping Provider within the Shipping variable from
the coherence lookup response.

If no data was returned

o

Execute the database adapter interaction to retrieve the Shipping provider details.

Invoke Put on the coherence cache via coherence adapter. The key would be the
ShippingMethodID and the value would be the XML returned by the coherence
adapter.

Populate the Shipping Provider within the Shipping variable from the database
lookup response.

Step 1: Model the Coherence Get interaction

Drag and drop the coherence adapter (under Technology Adapters) into the External
References swimlane of the composite.

Name it queryCoherence.

Chapter 6: Fulfill Order

Page 300 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Click Next

Change the JNDI Name to eis/Coherence/Local.

Click Next

For Operation, select Get.

Click Next

We will use the prebuilt internal coherence cache for this demo. Set Cache Name to adapterlocal

Chapter 6: Fulfill Order

Page 301 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

You will populate the Key using a jca.coherence.Key property later. Leave it empty, click Next
and ignore the warning.

Pick up the database lookup response Schema definition as the XML Schema. The response from
the database lookup will be directly stored in the coherence cache.

Chapter 6: Fulfill Order

Page 302 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Click OK

Click Next.

Click Finish.

You do not need to specify any input data into this invocation except for the jca.coherence.Key
property on the invocation.

For this, wire the adapter to the fulfillOrder BPEL process.

Chapter 6: Fulfill Order

Page 303 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Double-click the BPEL process to open the BPEL editor.

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Note that you dont need to create an assign statement and assign an input value to the coherence
query interaction. The only input value required to query is the Key which, as shown above, is
passed in as a property to the invocation.

Step 2: Branch the flow based on the Query Response.

Drag and drop an If activity into the BPEL code after the invoke activity.

Double click on the If to specify the condition as shown below. Use the XPath Expression
Builder to create the expression.

Expand the output variable of the coherence call (queryCoherence_Get_OutputVariable) and

select the name element that keeps the shipping provider name

Drag and drop an assign activity into the If branch.

Name it assignShippingProvider

Use the Assign Editor to assign the shipping provider name from the coherence query output
variable to the shipping provider name in the process input variable (in the shipping element).
This will later be used as input for the pack and ship service.

Ensure that you specify insertMissingToData on this statement by right-clicking the highlighted
expression in the bottom part of the Edit Assign window so that the Name is inserted into the target
document if it does not already exist.

Chapter 6: Fulfill Order

Page 310 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Step 3: Model the Put Interaction for the Coherence Adapter

Next we will copy the database adapter response into the coherence cache, so that the shipping
provider is available in the cache next time it is looked up.

Open the composite editor

Drag and drop another coherence adapter into the right swimlane and name if
putIntoCoherence

Check the audit level on the SOA Server

Audit tracking enables you to select the level of information to be collected by the message tracking
infrastructure.

The following audit levels are available:

Off: No logging is performed. Composite instance tracking information and payload tracking
information are not collected.
Production: Minimal information for SOA composite application instances is collected. For
example, the BPEL process and Oracle Mediator service engines do not capture the payload.
Therefore, the payload details are not available in the flow audit trails. The BPEL process service
engine collects payload details for all activities except assign activities. This level is optimal for
most standard operations and testing.
Development: Complete information for SOA composite application instances is collected. This
option allows both composite instance tracking and payload tracking. This setting may have an
impact on performance because the payload is stored at each step in the message flow. This
setting is useful for debugging purposes.

For our labs, we need to make sure that the audit level is set to Development.

Right-click on soa-infra (Default Server) and choose SOA Administration > Common Properties.

If the Audit Level is set to Development, youre okay.

Deploy SOA Projects to the Application Server

After you have created your composite, you can deploy it to the server. Please see the next section to
deploy a Human Task form project, which has a different procedure.
The Deploy command rebuilds the project and writes the binaries to disk. It also brings up the
deployment plan dialog before deploying. When the server is stopped and restarted, the applications
will remain deployed.
The following screenshots assume deployment to the Integrated Server. When deploying to a different
server, choose the server connection accordingly.
Important: The server has to be RUNNING for this deployment to be successful. If your server is down,
please bring it back up before attempting deployment.

Appendix

Debug a SOA project in JDeveloper

In SOA Suite 12, we have the ability to set breakpoints in the composite editor, BPEL process and
Service Bus pipeline.
Youre able to stop at breakpoints, look at the data, step into, step out and so on. In a BPEL process,
youre also able to change the value of a variable while debugging.

Set breakpoints in the composite by right clicking on an interface and create a Request or Reply
Breakpoint or both. For one-directional interfaces, you only get one option.

The breakpoints are little red icons with an arrow pointing in the direction of the flow.

In a BPEL process, right-click on an activity and choose Toggle Breakpoint. This will set a
breakpoint is there is none and remove if there is already a breakpoint.

Appendix

Page 349 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

These breakpoints are red dots only without arrow as the flow is always in one direction:

Set as many breakpoints as you want.

Important:
To make debugging easier for now, you should have a breakpoint at the beginning of every BPEL
process to make sure the debugger stops there.

Now start the debugger for your project:

Right-click on the project and choose Debug

Appendix

Page 350 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

You can debug local or remote. When the debugger is started, a window pops up asking which
server you want to use for debugging. It also asks for the debug port (default is 5004 for SOA,
but can be changed) and the timeout for the debugger when inactive.

Debugger properties are stored per project. If you previously imported a solution from a
different machine, the HOST will most likely have to be changed.

These values can also be stored in the JDeveloper properties and you can skip this dialog in the
future if you always want to use the same options.

Choose your host and leave the defaults.

Click OK.

If youve made changes to your project, it needs to be redeployed. This includes setting of
breakpoints.

You will be lead through the deploy wizard step by step if that is the case.

The debugger is ready when you see this message:

Define and run SOA Composite Test in JDeveloper

SOA Suite 11g provides an automated Test Suite Framework for creating and running repeatable tests
on a SOA composite application.
The Test Suite Framework provides the following features:

Simulates web service partner interactions

Validates process actions with test data

Creates reports of test results

The test framework supports testing at the SOA composite application level. In this type of testing,
wires, service binding components, service components (such as BPEL processes and Oracle Mediator
service components), and reference binding components are tested.
Test suites consist of a logical collection of one or more test cases. Each test case contains a set of
commands to perform as the test instance is executed. The execution of a test suite is known as a test
run. Each test corresponds to a single SOA composite application instance.
Emulations enable you to simulate the behavior of the following components with which your SOA
composite application interacts during execution.
Assertions enable you to verify variable data or process flow. You can perform the following types of
assertions.
As part of the composite tests, you can also automate the testing of an individual BPEL process service
component. These test cases enable you to simulate the interaction between a BPEL process and its web
service partners before deployment in a production environment.
You can create variable and fault assertions on BPEL process activities and fast forward on a wait
activity.
For more information, please see Automating Testing of SOA Composite Applications in soa-devguide.pdf.

In SOA Suite 12c, we add the ability to run the tests in JDeveloper (in addition to EM FMWC and
command-line). When making a change to a SOA composite or a test before running it, they are first
deployed. You can run the same test multiple times without changes.
You can also see the results after running the tests in JDeveloper, including assertions, and access the
history of the test results.
In addition we also made usability improvements to the test creation.
Gallery access and toolbar access is now provided and a test create wizard guides you to the creation of
simple tests in one shot. We also support the JDeveloper property inspector to create and edit test
metadata.
Two gallery items named 'Composite Test' and 'Composite Test Suite' have been introduced under the
category ' SOA Tier -> Tests' to create a test and a test suite respectively, as shown below:

Appendix

Page 364 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

Creating a new Composite Test is also directly available in the shortcut menu from New and the
context menu:

Appendix

Page 365 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

The test creation button is also exposed from the composite editor's toolbar as shown below (note the
composite test image button). You can directly create tests from within the composite editor:

Appendix

Page 366 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

In this section, you will define and run tests for the ValidatePayment composite in JDeveloper.

Choose File > New > From Gallery from the menu.

From the Categories tree, click on SOA Tier > Tests.

Select Composite Test from the Items field.

Click OK.

In the subsequent Create Composite Test dialog, set the Test Name field to ValidatePaymentTest.

Click the Create Test Suite icon on the right of the Test Suite field. From here, you can create a new
test suite or select an existing test suite.

Click Next.

To specify the output message, choose Load From File.

Browse to PaymentInfoOutput.xml.

Appendix

Click Finish.

Once the Finish button is clicked, the test creation wizard closes and the test is created.

The composite test editor opens to show the test.

Additional test metadata like emulations can be added if necessary. If the current test is done, you
can continue to create another test by clicking the test image button from the editor's toolbar.

As mentioned before, we now support running tests in JDeveloper without switching to EM

FMWC. After the tests are created, you can select multiple tests to run or a single test.

There are different ways to issue the run command. You can right-click the test suites or tests from
the JDeveloper navigator and select the corresponding run menu items.

If the test is already open in its test editor, you can also press the green arrow button from the test
editor's toolbar to run the open test.

Once the test run command is issued, it will first ask what test server to use to run the test if the test
server is not configured in JDev Tools -> Preferences -> SOA or is configured but has been set to ask
every time.

You enter the test server host name and can optionally check the 'Do not ask again' checkbox to
save the test server host name in JDev Tools -> Preferences -> SOA.

If the checkbox is checked, then this dialog will not pop up again next time you run tests until you go
to JDev Tools -> Preferences -> SOA to change the configuration.

Enter the name of your server and click OK.

The Test Run dialog pops up. In the test run dialog, you specify the test run name and can select or
deselect tests to run. The Test Run dialog also allows you to specify the timeout for running the tests
on the test server.

Confirm the ValidatePaymentTest test selected.

Appendix

Click OK.

Once the 'OK' button is clicked, we will check if the composite (which includes the tests) has been
deployed on the test server. If the composite has been never deployed on the test server or youve
made changes to the composite or the test since it was deployed last, the composite needs to be
deployed to the test server first before we the tests can be run on the test server.

The following deployment confirmation dialog pops up to confirm the deployment.

Click OK to deploy the composite, including the tests.

The deployment wizard is the same one as when you just deploy the composite without tests
involved.

The composite test starts automatically when the deployment has finished.

If the tests ran successfully, the test result overview editor will open to show the test results.

Appendix

Page 371 of 392

Oracle Confidential Do not distribute to third parties

The test result overview editor is per test server and composite DN (unique identifier). We show the
test server URL (the SOA server hostname and the port number) and composite DN on the top right
corner of the editor to indicate the context. Due to space limitation, we do not this info on the
editor tab name. The editor tab name is in form of 'Test Results: <Composite-Name>'.

The test result overview editor also provides a toolbar button to go to the composite editor.

The test results are shown in three collapsible tables from master to details. The three tables are the
Test Run Table, the Test Case Table and the Assert Result Table.

The Test Run Table shows the current test run and its status summary if you just submitted a test
run from the test UI. If you just queried the test server for test runs, then the table shows all test
runs matching your query criteria.

The Test Case Table shows all test cases and their statuses of the selected test run from the Test
Run Table.

The Assert Result Table shows all assert results of the selected test case from the Test Case Table.

Click XML link in the Assert Result table to check the result. This will be more meaningful when you
cause a fault and compare the expected XML with the Actual XML.
