Custom Adapter for Inbound Operations never invoked

Question

Hi,
I created a custom J2CA Resource Adapter for Inbound operations. I implemented javax.resource.spi.ResourceAdapter interface with all required methods - start(BootstrapContext), endpointActivation(MessageEndpointFactory, ActivationSpec), etc.
I created the appropriate WSDL file according Adapter Development Cookbook. Below is an excerpt from it:
<definitions targetNamespace="urn:Adapter" .......>
  <message name="Notification">
    <part name="Notification_Part" element="ns1:Svc"/>
  </message>
  <message name="Header">
    <part name="Header_Part" element="ServiceHeader"/>
  </message>
  <portType name="EventsQueue_ptt">
    <operation name="Dequeue">
      <input message="tns:Notification"/>
    </operation>
  </portType>
  <binding name="NotificationService" type="tns:EventsQueue_ptt">
    <jca:binding/>
    <operation name="Dequeue">
      <jca:operation ActivationSpec="acme.ActivationSpec"/>
      <input>
        <jca:header message="tns:Header" part="Header_Part"/>
      </input>
    </operation>
  </binding>
  <service name="EventsQueue">
    <port name="EventsQueue_pt" binding="tns:NotificationService">
      <jca:address ResourceAdapter="acme.AdapterClass"/>
    </port>
  </service>
</definitions>I created a BPEL process with a partner link based on this WSDL and linked a Receive activity with it. According Adapter Concepts Guide here is what should happen when the BPEL process is deployed and started:
- The ResourceAdapter class name and the ActivationSpec parameter are captured in the WSDL extension section of the J2CA inbound interaction WSDL Adapter Integration with BPEL Process Manager Adapter Integration with Oracle Application Server Components 5-7 during design time and made available to BPEL Process Manager and Adapter Framework during run time.
- An instance of the J2CA 1.5 ResourceAdapter class is created and the Start method of the J2CA ResourceAdapter class is called.
- Each inbound interaction operation referenced by the BPEL Process Manager processes results in invoking the EndPointActivation method of the J2CA 1.5 ResourceAdapter instance. Adapter Framework creates the ActivationSpec class (Java Bean) based on the ActivationSpec details present in the WSDL extension section of the J2CA inbound interaction and activates the endpoint of the J2CA 1.5 resource adapter.
The problem is that start(BootstrapContext) and endpointActivation(MessageEndpointFactory, ActivationSpec) seem never to be invoked, the adapter is never initialized and at some point the Receive activity of the BPEL process times-out.
I put some debug System.out.println statements in these methods, but nothing appeared in the server log.
I'm using Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.1.
I will be grateful for any suggestions.
Regards,
Simeon

Hi,
I have written a custom connector for crud operations to a table in Oracle DB. The custom code class uses oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver which is present in ojdbc14.jar. I have placed this jar in ThirdParty folder of the OIM installation but I am still getting an SQLException while connecting to the DB as my custom code is unable to find the required class. Can someone guide me to some documentation that will help me get over this?
Thanks,
SaieshWhich version of OIM you are in? Also you dont need to copy ojdbc14.jar as this exists already in OIM.
