My ODTUG at Kscope 2011 about The Necessary Knowledge and Tools You Need to Have for SOA Suite 11g

1. The Necessary Knowledge and Tools You Need to Have for SOA Suite 11g Edwin Biemond Whitehorses http://biemond.blogspot.com

2. Topics in this presentation MDS Avoiding Invalid Composites Deployment Composites Resource Adapters AIA deployment framework Testing TestSuite of SOA Suite AIA CAVS Continuous Integration with Hudson

3. MDS MetaData Service MDS = centralized storage for artifacts that can be accessed both at design time and at run-time Twoversions -> File MDS & Database MDS Versioning in onlysupported in Database MDS SOA Suite onlyuses the Database MDS Compositescan have revisions JDevelopercanuseboth File MDS is the default MDS is usedforvalidation and used in the creationprocess

4. Using MDS Store your artifacts in a MDS apps folder The SOA Suite DB MDS onlyallowsyou to addartifactsunder the apps folder. Useforexampleoramds://apps/DVM/countries.dvm JDeveloper MDS references are located in adf-config.xml ( /.adf/META-INF/ )

5. Use MDS in JDeveloper Default File MDS is located at jdeveloper/integration/seed Create an apps folder under seed Createanapplicationorcompany folder under the apps folder Addyourartifactsunderthisapplication folder

6. Use MDS in JDeveloper Create a File MDS Connection Lookupyourartifacts in the Resource Palette

7. Move the MDS to your workspace Is part of your workspace -> Versioning & No conflicts Add an extra MDS /apps entry to the adf-config.xml

8. Avoiding Invalid Composites Invalid Composites can happen when A Web Service is used as a Composite Reference and this WS is not up while starting SOA Suite The Composite Reference is a Composite and this Composite is not active while this Composite becomes active

9. Why does this happen? When the Composite is started, it tries to load the remote WSDL & XSD in one of the following: Composite Imports Composite References Service Component componentType files

10. The Solution The solution is MDS Download the remote WSDL & XML schemas and put this in the MDS Change the XML Schema imports of the WSDL so it’s valid and points to the MDS If the Composite Reference is a Composite try to re-use the XSD

11. Composite Import Open the composite.xml in source mode and change the imports

12. Composite Reference Change the ui:wsdlLocation attribute Binding.ws location attribute has the Endpoint URL

13. ComponentType files Open the Service componentType files ( Mediator, BPEL) and change the ui:wsdlLocation attribute

14. Deployment Plan Only need to change the location attribute of the binding.ws element

15. Deployment Ways to deploy your Composites JDeveloper -> only for Development. JDeveloper SOA ANT scripts. Need some extra ANT scripting to make it useable AIA has its own complete ANT deployment framework ( needs a license ) Resource Adapters & WebLogic artifacts AIA deployment framework can do this Your own WLST scripting & custom Resource Adapter Deployment

16. Deployment ANT Scripts Need the SOA plugin Located in jdeveloperin Build your ANT deployment framework around these scripts

17. Manual configuration of Resource Adapters Use unique file name -> DB_Plan.xml or JMS_Plan.xml In cluster configuration Copy The Resource plan to every node of the cluster Location of the plan must be the same on all servers Update the plans on all server if there is a change Put it on a shared storage

18. Your own Resource Adapter Extract the WebLogic Resource Adapter ( Oracle_SOA1oaonnectors ) Remove the jars Edit the weblogic-ra.xml and add your own entries ( use unique names -> conflicts) Pack the Resource Adapter Deploy the Resource Adapter Set the deployment order after the original adapter

19. Deployment with AIA Can also be used in Non AIA Projects Configure AIA Deployment file Available Deployment actions JDBC DataSources JMS Resources MDS update Start & shutdown WLS Server Resource Adapters AQ, DB, JMS EAR & WARS Composites

20. AIA Deployment configuration JDBC Datasource JMS Queue Update MDS Shutdown Managed Server Add an entry to the DB Resource adapter Deploy a WAR Deploy a Composite

21. Testing your Composites SOAPUI Test cases are flexible and can be scripted Stress LoadTest Simulate (Mock) services but need to update your Composite References SOA Suite TestSuite Can’t test the Composite Service Simulate Composite Reference Bounded to 1 Composite Unit Test output AIA CAVS (CompositeApplicationValidation System) Test and Simulate Services Notbounded to 1 Composite Combine Test cases withsimulation ( automatically updates endpoints ) Need a License

22. SOA Suite TestSuite Create a TestSuite with some tests

23. SOA Suite TestSuite 2 Initiate a Message on a Service Verify a response on a Wire Emulate a response on a Wire

24. TestSuite in Enterprise Manager Start Unit Tests From ANT From EM

25. AIA Composite Application Validation System What can CAVS do for you Create tests and validate responses Simulate Adapter services in the ABCS Composites Group tests Combine Test and Simulators with Routing Import / Export Definitions

26. CAVS Definitions

27. CAVS Test Load the WSDL and select the operation Define 1 or more Requests Define 1 or more Responses and Generate XPATH

28. CAVS Simulator Define the expected Request, Generate XPath and set its unique identifier ( For matching the request with the response) Provide the matching Response

29. CAVS Routing Activates CAVS Simulators, change the endpoints of the Compositereference to the simulators Canbeused in a CAVS Test

30. Continuous Integration with Hudson Hudson easy to install and manage Support for ANT Integration with SubVersion, CVS Unit Test support Dashboard

31. Hudson SOA Suite Job Need to build your own ANT deployment Checkout SVN Compile Package Deploy Unit Test Evaluate Report
