Oracle Fusion Middleware (SOA,OSB,BPM,AIA,ADF) Concepts

========================================================================

What is a Web Service?

:- Basically Service itself is a self  explanatory word which means to serve something to the caller party. It can be anything. For Example :- A Vending Machine, which gives you desired product in return of your money or In a restaurant where waiter used to serve you food which you have ordered. Every service follows the request/response model. Request and response can be in any form or medium.    

In Our SOA world, Web Service can be defined as below. 

  

The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) client interface, which defines the input and output messages for this BPEL process flow, the supported client interface and operations, and other features. This functionality enables the BPEL process flow to be called as a service.

There are two types of service available in SOA.

1. Soap Based Service.

2. Restful Service or Rest Service.

========================================================================

What is a SOAP Based Service?

:- Soap based services are mainly deals with XML messages. WSDL represents SOAP based service. 

========================================================================

What is a Restful  Service?

:- Restful service used the HTTP verb, For example Get, Post, Put, Delete.

It mainly deals with both type of message format JSON and XML. Searching any video on YouTube is a perfect example of restful service or liking/commenting/posting some information on Face book is also an example of restful service.

WADL represents the restful service.

Note :- Soap - UI is a tool which is useful to test both type of services.

========================================================================

Difference between XML & JSON ?
:- XML and JSON are the data exchange formats used in development of Web Applications/Web Service. Both are different from each other are used at their right place. JSON is extended from the  JavaScript while that XML has been extended from SGML(Standard Generalised Markup Language). Syntax of JSON is lighter than XML as JSON does not contain start and end tags but XML do have start and end tags. JSON supports data type and arrays while XML does not provide data type and does not support array. XML support for Namespaces and Comments while JSON does not support Namespaces and comments.

• JSON is extended from the JavaScript while that XML has been extended from SGML.
• XML stands for “Extensible Markup Language” while JSON stands for “JavaScript Object Notation”.
• Syntax of JSON is lighter than XML
• JSON does not contain start and end tags but XML do have start and end tags.
• JSON supports data type and arrays while XML does not provide data type and does not support array.
• XML support for Namespaces while JSON does not support Namespaces
• XML support for Comments while JSON does not support Comments.
• JSON is better for web services while XML is better for configuration.
• JSON data cannot be changeable to other formats while XML data can be changed into other formats like plain text, JSON.
• Mapping is quite easy in JSON than in XML as JSON is data oriented while XML is document oriented.

Sample JSON  and XML :-

Example

========================================================================

Difference between SOAP & REST ?
:- In the world of integration and web services, SOAP and REST has their own significance.

Both are having their advantages and disadvantages.

SOAP is a protocol and REST is an architecture.

SOAP	REST
It's a protocol	It's an architecture
It has its own web service security standards	It relies on HTTP security(Browser Security)/Certificate Level security (TLS,SSL)
When any machine to machine or application to application integration required, SOAP is best.	For Building Public Facing API or doing any CRUD operation, Rest is the undisputed Champion.
Data exchange format is xml	Data exchange format can be XML,Json,Text,Csv etc
End point of SOAP based service is WSDL	Endpoint of Rest Based Service is WADL
Uses only Post HTTP verb	Uses all the features of HTTP verbs(Get,Post,Put,Delete)
Url based testing cannot be done.	Url Based Testing can be done.

========================================================================

Difference between Mediator & OSB ?

========================================================================

What is a SOAP Message ?
:- A SOAP message is XML-based formatted structure for Input and output messages.

soap message have one soap envelope which consist of below part.

1.         Soap Header(optional). It contains multiple entries of soap header. It mainly contains information about security, token, ws addressing etc.

2.         Soap Body (Mandatory). It contains main element of message.

3.         Soap fault(Optional). It contains fault details.

How to Poll Single file from FTP/File location which has multiple files ?

:- Lets take one example if we have include file wild card as *.txt and there are 2 files available at File/FTP Location. So read operation will read both the file and create two instance and created time will be same for both the instance. To avoid such scenario and read only one file at a time, we need to use below property in jca file.

<property name="SingleThreadModel" value="true"/>

      <property name="MaxRaiseSize" value="1"/>

========================================================================

How to achieve If-Else in Assign Activity ?
:- Sometime while doing development we come accross a situation where we need to achieve If-Else condition with in copy tag of assign activity. For doing this we need to understand the concept of  below functions in SOA.
1.  Substring("Hello World",1) -> Output would be HelloWorld
2.  Divide Function , 2 div 1 -> output would be 2 or 1 div 1 output would be 1.

So if we some how manage to get divide function output as 1 then same output can be passed in Substring Function as a Start Index.

Now the question arise, how to get output of divide function as 1.

lets say I have one string variable temp. and value of that variable is 'hello' 

then $temp = 'hello' will give output as 'true'

and 

$temp = 'value other then hello' will give output as 'false'

1 div ($temp = 'hello') , this would give output as 1 (This condition will always provide output as 1)

and

1 div not ($temp = 'hello') , this would give output as 'Infinity'

Now come Back to the If-Else functionality in Assign. below is the expression that work like If-Else in Assign.

concat(substring('Success_if', 1 div ($temp = 'hello')),substring('Failure_else', 1 div not ($temp = 'hello')))


So if you pass input as hello then output of above express will come as 'Success_If'.

if you pass input other than hello then output of above express will come as 'Failure_else'.

JNDI Name: The JNDI name to use for the JMS connection. As in the previous example, this is probably the most common source of error. This is the JNDI name of the JMS adapter’s connection pool created in the WebLogic Server and which points to the connection factory. JDeveloper does not verify the value entered here. If you enter a wrong value, the JMS adapter won’t find the queue and you will get an error message at runtime, which is very difficult to trace.

If in a DB adapter you are giving wrong JNDI name so it will be error out compile time or run time?

b. Change all remaining “qname” references and remove the system and service groups as follows:

OLD: qname="DefaultSystem.Accounting.HelloWorld"

NEW: qname="HelloWorld"

Correlation ID

When an asynchronous service is initiated with the invoke activity, a correlation ID unique to the client request is also sent (using WS Addressing). Because multiple processes may be waiting for service callbacks, Oracle BPEL Server must know which BPEL process instance is waiting for a callback message from the loan application approver Web service. The correlation ID enables Oracle BPEL Server to correlate the response with the appropriate requesting instance.

WS Addressing

WS Addressing defines the following information typically provided by transport protocols and messaging systems. This information is processed independently of the transport or application:

Endpoint location (reply-to address)

The reply-to address specifies the location at which a BPEL client is listening for a callback message.

Conversation ID

Use TCP tunneling to view SOAP messages exchanged between the BPEL process flow and the Web service (including those containing the correlation ID). You can see the exact SOAP messages that are sent to, or received from, services with which a BPEL process flow communicates.

You insert a software listener between your BPEL process flow and the Web service. Your BPEL process flow communicates with the listener (called a TCP tunnel). The listener forwards your messages to the Web service, and also displays them. Responses from the Web service are returned to the tunnel, which displays them and forwards them back to the BPEL process.

What is the difference between Queue and topic?

In queues, one message can be consumed by only one client. But in the topics, one message can be consumed by many clients. Both are separate domains in MOM.

Queue represent Point-To-Point domain and Topic represent Pub/Sub domain

A point-to-point (PTP) product or application is built around the concept of message queues, senders, and receivers. Each message is addressed to a specific queue, and receiving clients extract messages from the queue(s) established to hold their messages. Queues retain all messages sent to them until the messages are consumed or until the messages expire.

In a publish/subscribe (pub/sub) product or application, clients address messages to a topic. Publishers and subscribers are generally anonymous and may dynamically publish or subscribe to the content hierarchy. The system takes care of distributing the messages arriving from a topic's multiple publishers to its multiple subscribers. Topics retain messages only as long as it takes to distribute them to current subscribers.

What type messaging is provided by JMS?

Both synchronous and asynchronous.

Activity sensors

Activity sensors are used to monitor the execution of activities within a BPEL process. For example, they can monitor the execution time of an invoke activity or how long it takes to complete a scope. Along with the activity sensor, you can also monitor variables of the activity.

Variable sensors

Variable sensors are used to monitor variables (or parts of a variable) of a BPEL process. For example, variable sensors can monitor the input and output data of a BPEL process.

Fault sensors

Fault sensors are used to monitor BPEL faults.

What is ComponentType File?

What is WS Addressing?

WS-Addressing is a transport-neutral mechanism by which web services communicate addressing information. SOAP envelopes & headers used within web services for transporting data throught transport layers like HTTP does not possess intelligence to specify unique addressing information. Hence, WS-Addressing evolved which contained endpoint references (EPR) and message information headers for identification. This information is processed independently of the transport mechanism or application.

What is Dynamic Binding.

Creating a dynamic binding in BPEL

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/carey-090553.html

Dynamic binding allows the developer to add new services through configuration or run-time inputs.

To understand how this dynamic process works, it is first necessary to analyze the DynamicPartnerLink.bpel file. The first interesting thing in this file is the loan service partner link:

                              

<partnerLink name="LoanService" partnerLinkType="

                               

services:LoanService"

  myRole="LoanServiceRequester" partnerRole="LoanServiceProvider"/>

                             

                           

Rather than defining a specific loan service (like UnitedLoan), a generic loan service name and type is specified (services:LoanService). The LoanService partner link is defined in the LoanService.wsdl file; this file is imported by adding it to the bpel.xml file in the <partnerLinkBindings> section as shown below:

<partnerLinkBinding name="LoanService">

  <property name="wsdlLocation">LoanService.wsdl</property>

</partnerLinkBinding>

You'll observe in the LoanService.wsdl file that each of the available loan providers is defined as a <service> within this single WSDL file, as shown below.

<service name="StarLoan">

 <port name="LoanServicePort" binding="tns:LoanServiceBinding">

  <soap:address location="http://localhost:9700/orabpel/default/StarLoan"/>

 </port>

</service>

<service name="UnitedLoan">

 <port name="LoanServicePort" binding="tns:LoanServiceBinding">

  <soap:address location="http://localhost:9700/orabpel/default/UnitedLoan"/>

 </port>

</service>

<service name="AmericanLoan">

 <port name="LoanServicePort" binding="tns:LoanServiceBinding">

  <soap:address location="http://localhost:9700/orabpel/default/AmericanLoan"/>

 </port>

</service>

It is important to understand that there is no "real" service called "LoanService." Rather, LoanService is a template from which you select one of the real loan provider services (UnitedLoan, AmericanLoan, StarLoan). This approach works as long as the real services all support the same interface (same data types, messages, roles, ports, and partner link types) as that defined in the template WSDL. It is important to define this template interface carefully because a change here can affect many processes down the line.

The LoanService.wsdl file defines all the service options, which the parent process can elect to call dynamically. This model requires a redeployment of the WSDL file as each new service is added. This approach represents a remarkable improvement over modifying the parent process to include new partner links and routing logic for each new service. (Later you will see how to disassociate the service endpoints from the WSDL file as well.)

Returning to the DynamicPartnerlink.bpel file, the next feature we want to look at is the partnerReference variable:

<variable name="partnerReference" element="wsa:EndpointReference"/>

This variable is of the type EndpointReference. It has a namespace wsa: defined at the top of the BPEL file as

xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/addressing"

The WS-Addressing standard provides the schema for the EndpointReference type. You can <assign> variables of this type to a partner link in order to modify the address and service information, thus providing the ability to modify the partner link at runtime.

The DynamicPartnerLink process basically consists of a switch. It inspects the "provider" string passed in by the caller. Then, it assigns an EndpointReference xml data structure to the partnerReference variable containing the information relevant to the service that you're requesting. After the switch, the partnerReference variable is assigned to the LoanService partner link and the partner link is invoked.

Here's how to accomplish this task when the input string (the service provider) is "united":

<assign>

 <copy>

  <from>

   <EndpointReference xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/addressing">

   <Address>http://localhost:9700/orabpel/default/UnitedLoan</Address>

   <ServiceName

     xmlns:ns1="http://services.otn.com">ns1:UnitedLoan</ServiceName>

   </EndpointReference>

  </from>

  <to variable="partnerReference"/>

 </copy>

</assign>

Everything between the <from> and </from> tags is literal XML that you're assigning to the partnerReference variable. This data will override the address and service specified in the LoanService partner link when you assign the partnerReference variable to that link.

Now that you've explored the use of the LoanService partner link and LoanService.wsdl to invoke services selected at run time, you can move on to building a dynamic process.

Ans:-

Oracle BPEL Correlation Exemplified

Correlation is one of the important & tricky technique available within Oracle BPEL PM. In this blog, I have taken a simple route to explain the correlation technique.

Synchronous & Asynchronous web services:

Whenever a synchronous web service is invoked from Oracle BPEL via a partnerlink, only one port is established for communication with the exposed web service which is used by both request & response messages.

However, when an asynchronous web service is invoked, two ports are opened for communcation: one for request & one for response messages.

How does Oracle BPEL identify asynchronous responses?

As response from an asynchronous web service is not guaranteed to be received within a specified time frame, and many instances of the same service might be invoked before even a response can be obtained, how does Oracle BPEL identify and relate the responses to the appropriate requests and proceed for completion of further activities that may be scheduled? The answer is "WS-Addressing".

What is WS-Addressing?

WS-Addressing is a transport-neutral mechanism by which web services communicate addressing information. SOAP envelopes & headers used within web services for transporting data throught transport layers like HTTP does not possess intelligence to specify unique addressing information. Hence, WS-Addressing evolved which contained endpoint references (EPR) and message information headers for identification. This information is processed independently of the transport mechanism or application.

For reference on WS-Addressing click here

By default, Oracle BPEL PM implements WS-Addressing for all asynchronous web service calls, hence we don't have to explicitly implement identification relationship between the incoming & outgoing messages.

Correlation:

In short, Correlation is a BPEL technique which provides correlation of asynchronous messages based on the content of the message.

Why & Where Correlation?

The following are few scenarios in which we would be required to implement Correlation to identify & relate message communication;

1. When the external web service called doesn't have WS-Addressing capability

2. When the message travels through several services and response is solicited by the initial service from the last service directly

For instance, request flow pro1 -> pro2 -> pro3 and response is received from pro3 ->pro1

Implementing Correlation:

a.) Creating Correlation Sets:

In Structure Window of the JDeveloper IDE, right click on the Correlation Sets and choose 'Create Correlation Set'

Provide a name for your correlation set being created.

In the properties section, select 'Add' to display the property chooser window

Choose 'Create' to create a property on which the correlation has to be initiated. Provide a name and type for the property.

b.) Associating the Correlation set on receive/invoke, pick activities

Go the the correlations tab on the activity (invoke/receive/pick) on which you need to set & validate the correlation

Add the created correlation set to the activity

Initiate Attribute: (Value Set - yes, no)

When set to yes, correlation set is initiated with the values of the properties available in the message being transferred

When set to no, correlation set validates the value of the property available in the message

Pattern Attribute: (Value Set - in, out, in-out)

When the value is 'in', it means that the correlation property is set/validated on the incoming message

When the value is 'out', it means that the correlation property is set/validated on the message going out of BPEL

In case of 'in-out', the property will be set/validated on both incoming & outgoing messages

c.) Creating Propery Alias:

In the Structure Window of the JDeveloper, right click on the 'Property Aliases' and select 'Create Propery Alias'

Select the message type that you want to set to the correlation propery (already created)

Now, correlation design is complete. However, correlation will not be established unless we reference the correlations on the WSDL file of the BPEL process. To do this, import the correlation WSDL file (created under the project) in the BPEL process main WSDL.

Calling Secure Services from BPEL

There are two popular ways of securing the so-called webservices and as to how do we invoke them from BPEL??? 

BasicServices: 

Basic services would require authentication information i.e., the username/password to be passed in  the HTTP Header.

Services Pertaining to WS-Security:
These services are required to send authentication information ( username / password) as WS-Security tokens in SOAP Envelope to access.

How can one add the  HTTP Authentication in BPEL:

Add the following properties in deployment descriptor i.e., the bpel.xml, under the partner link for that service.

<property name="httpHeaders">credentials</property>
<property name="httpUsername">manojnair</property>
<property name="httpPassword">hello@123</property>

O, you can also go about like this;

<property name="basicHeaders">credentials</property>
<property name="basicUsername">manojnair</property>
<property name="basicPassword">hello@123</property>

Adding WS-Security tokens in BPEL:

Add the following properties in bpel.xml under the partner link for that service.

<property name="wsseHeaders">credentials</property>
<property name="wsseUsername">manojnair</property>
<property name="wssePassword">hello@123</property>

thats it .... you are done once you embed this into your code.
This is how one can invoke secure services.
