Calling web service hosted outside firewall i.e. Internet from Oracle Service Bus (OSB)

There is often a need to call the web service that is Hosted Outside the Firewall.

For eg. Lets say we want to use the "ISBNTest" web service published on xmethods.net, OSB won't be able to send the request with out setting the proxy.

Following are the steps to carry out the proxy setting:-

1. Create the business service based on WSDL of external web service.

2. Create new Proxy Server.


You need to select the OSB Configuration project to create the proxy server, as all the configuration setting are maintain under Configuration project.













3. Click Add Host-Port parameters.
    Enter Server Host, Text Port and SSL port.
4. Click Save

5. Go back to the business service, Under HTTP transport click Advance


Select the proxy server that you created above.











6. Now when you test your business service, it will use the proxy mention in Proxy Server and call the web service.

Do let me know if you find any issue.

JAVA embedding in Oracle SOA 12c

Image
In this post we will explore how to EMBED Java or call Java API from Oracle SOA BPEL process. In order to demonstrated this, I have created a simple JAVA project with 3 classes. 1.        Account.java -> This class represent Account DTO       2.       Party.java -> This class represent a party (customer) DTO       3.       GetNumber.java -> This class contains the method that takes Party DTO as input and apply some business logic and return party’s AccountDTO in response. public Account getNumber(Party party) The above classes are created to simulate the calling of actual business logic API’s. Account.java Party.java GetNumber.java public class Account {     public Account() {         super();     }     String account;     public void setAccount(String account) {         this.account = account;     }     public String getAccount() {         return account;     } } public class Party {     public Part

Passing/Receiving HTTP header in SOA BPEL

Image
In this example we will explore how to pass or receive the parameters from HTTP header. We will explore below two scenarios, To receive the HTTP header from SOAP request. To pass the HTTP header while calling soap service. SOA version used: 12.1.3c To receive the HTTP header from SOAP request: First we need to add the property “oracle.webservices.http.headers” under binding.ws in Service element in composite.xml. This property contains the comma separated parameters that we are expecting in request. Example,  ENV,VERSION. <binding.ws port="http://xmlns.oracle.com/SOA_Learning/HTTPHeader/HTTPHeaderTest#wsdl.endpoint(httpheadertest_client_ep/HTTPHeaderTest_pt)">          <property name="oracle.webservices.http.headers">ENV,VERSION</property> </binding.ws> Now in BPEL source under receive activity, we need add <fromProperties> element which will copy the parameters from HTTP header to BPEL variable.

Integrating Weblogic with IBM MQ over JMS

Image
We can integrate weblogic with IBM MQ over JMS by creating Foreign JMS server with Links in weblogic server. We need to create .binding file which will acts as file based JNDI provider to create JMS binding to MQ resources. Will first explain how to create .binding file and then will configure weblogic to use the same. Steps to create .binding file: Firstly we need to add below jar’s in CLASSPATH jms.jar com.ibm.mq.jar com.ibm.mqjms.jar jta.jar connector.jar jndi.jar providerutil.jar fscontext.jar Create JMSProperties.config file with below properties INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory PROVIDER_URL=file:/tmp/mqm/jndi SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION=none Run below command ./JMSAdmin -v JMSProperties . config InitCtx> def qcf(ForeignCF) TRANSPORT(CLIENT) HOST(localhost) PORT(1414) CHANNEL(MQCHANNEL) QMGR(MQMRG) def q(MQ1) qmgr(MQMRG) queue(MQ1) def q(MQR1) qmgr(MQMRG) queue(MQR1) display ctx
