BPEL and ADF

Hi Everybody
I am sorry if this is the wrong place for such a question, but I am confused about ADF and BPEL? could I run ADF and BPEL from the same work space in JDeveloper??
Thank you in advance

No you can't. OAF can only be used in E-Business Suite.
You can do the reverse - you can use ADF to build UIs that access E-Business Suite:

BPEL and ADF integration

Hi,
I have started BPEL process by using ADF. Input for the process is also given from the output. How do i get the output backto the ADF? TIA

Hi Farihah,
Could you pleas give us some hints About your Solution?
I ergently need it.
thank you in advance,

Passing value from ADF to BPEL, and to PL/SQL procedure

1. I have created BPEL which take 2 inputs and concatenate them.
2. have created a PL/SQL procedure for invoking this BPEL( working fine).
Now i need to create a simple ADF page which contain 2 text box, 2 for input and 1 for result(concatenate), this will take 2 inputs and send them into BPEL, this will invoke the BPEL process and perform the necessary concatenate function...
in addition to this, i am passing code into PL/SQL procedure ...
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/OrderImportDemo">
<ns1:InputRequest>
<ns1:FirstName>abcdef</ns1:FirstName>
<ns1:LastName>aaaaaa</ns1:LastName>
</ns1:InputRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>';
this code will take vaule from BPEL and run properly.
can you please help me,

thanks for help, but the problem is diff.
i don't have any schema, what i want i need to create a adf page that will contain 3 tent field, 2 for input and 1 for output. when i will enter 2 input field and click on ok button, this will invoke BPEL, BPEL will take these 2 inputs and do the concat on this and send back to adf with result.

Three simple steps you need to do :
1) Generate proxy for your bpel process in Jdeveloper.
2)Create simple ADF page with 2 input for taking value and a input for showing the result and one command button.
3) In backing bean on command button action, get value from two inputs, pass the in the proxy service and update the the the third input with the result of service.

ADF table and ADF form on the same view object

Hi,
As per the ADF demos available on ADF site, I created a jsf page with 2 panels. One panel is an ADF table based on a view object. And the other panel is and ADF form based on the same view object. My requirement is that as I scroll through the records in the ADF table, the ADF Form should dynamically display the details of the record in the ADF table. My understanding is that this should be automatic. However, its not working as expected. What have I missed?

Hi,
Apply PPR for form that displays details.
Like :
<af:table id="t3">
</af:table>
<af:panelFormLayout id="pfl2" partialTriggers="t3">
</af:panelFormLayout >

JDev and ADF is difficult

As a new user to ADF I am finding ADF and JDev a little discouraging and hard to use. I did a search on how to improve jdev's performance and found a lot of useful tips and tricks to use, but I pose the question. Shouldn't it just work out of the box? Coming from a web 2.0 background developing EE applications using Spring, JPA/Hibernate, Extjs, and netbeans I keep thinking to myself wow how in the world should I have known that changing this or that table attribute causes this or that to behave differently. For example I read a thread on multi-selecting table rows and in this article multiselect selectedRowKeys must be removed for multi select to perform correctly. Now I realize this is a simple example, but I find myself asking the same types of questions about dragging and dropping views into jdev or mapping bindings to pages so that I can gain access to data. I can relate to some angry posts by some about how difficult it is to develop anything useful in JDev and ADF because of a series of random problems (things like running OOM, or mapping bindings to a page which then for some reason map incorrectly or they think they are mapped to another page, etc...) Now I can already hear the first response... you are new to this world (yes) and you just need time. What if I told you I've been reading so much documentation over the past month that my eyes are bleeding. I've been through countless tutorials on how to use JDev and ADF. I've successfully created "Sample applications" generating useless tables of data. I've read several books on ADF and how to button click my way to creating EE applications, but I find the memorization of button clicking to be exhausting. I keep telling my boss I want to go back to writing code not dragging and dropping items on a page so that JDev can generate/modify .xml files for me.
Now that said I know I am new to this world and I'm trying to find some common ground as my job requires me to develop EE applications in ADF, and I must learn this technology. So I ask all of you ADF and JDev advocates prove me wrong here and point me to the documentation that all of you use to navigate this world of yours.
Thanks for your understand,
Wraith (Newbie and found wanting)

First off thank you for the response Shay!
>
Getting used to the way you build applications with JDev and ADF takes time, but think how much time did it took you to learn Spring, JPA, ExtJS etc to a level where you knew every little setting you needed to manually code in a spring XML file, or JPQL query syntax in your JPA or a javascript in ExtJS - My guess was that getting to a situation where you know everything in those technology wasn't exactly a problem less experience.
>
It is true it took some time to learn the technologies listed above. I guess If I were arguing for them I would say they were easier to use and learn due to most of them being open source and very popular because of this (i.e tons of examples, books, and documentation). Not sure if ADF is there yet?
>
I do like the fact that I can get from 0 to a fully functional page with a few clicks here and there, and then fine tune the results with some property settings in various places.
And then if I need even further customization I can go to the code level when needed.
>
I agree it takes very little time to create something that is at least visually usable. I'm not familiar enough ADF yet to determine now hard it is to actually create a fully functioning application that does more than display data. For example, how would I create a visualization that updates every 10 seconds and allows users to post feedback in a similar manner to this forum?
>
The question of whether the declarative and visual development experience is a good thing or not is to some degree a matter of personal preferences.
I wonder how long would it have taken someone to build something like this: http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/ADF112/ADF112.html
with the stack you mentioned above. How many lines of code would they have needed to write, how many syntax errors while coding, and would the result be as functional so fast.
>
Agree I'm not hear to argue which type of development experience is better or worse. I would point out however that as a JDev/ADF developer in order to develop in the technology it seems you must do most of your development within the JDev environment or have extensive experience in JSF (i.e know which xml files to edit and why I believe there is a reason JSF and JSP are seldom used IMHO because they are difficult. I understand JDev/ADF try to solve this problem) were as in other technologies you as the developer can choose the IDE etc. Another thing I noticed while watching the link you listed was the developer went from place to place to place within jdev making changes. As a newbie it seems that in order to develop ADF in JDev you must just "know things" (ie. for example he pulled in a method in to the task flow so he could invoke some validation or prereq check. As a developer how am I to know how and where and why I can/must do these things? ADF seems to be process based in order to achieve some goal, but the JDev framework gives no clues as to what you should/need to do next. As well as that I needed to create that method within my Application Module in order to do this, which by the way was not mentioned within this video.).
>
We often see the reaction of "I don't get what all those XML files that JDev generate are doing" reaction from people who just start up with JDev and ADF.
But we do try and explain how everything is working in places like the ADF Insider Advanced seminars:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/adfinsider-093342.html
I think the fact that there is a lot of documentation for ADF, and a lot of blog entries, how-to's etc on the web is actually a good thing.
I often find that if I run into an issue with ADF - a simple google search will show me how someone else solved that issue - and I like this too.
>
I guess my biggest gripe here would be yes there is tons of JDev/ADF documentation on OTN and other places, but none of it is complete, and I would also argue that the organization on OTN is half hazard, and makes learning ADF difficult as well. I find myself drilling down through layers and layers of links only to not be able to get back to were I came from to look at another topic/tutorial I was interested in(maybe we need a ADF train to be added to the documentation wikis).
I would also argue when developing in other frameworks writing the xml is a big part to understanding how your application is tied together. For example, Spring servlet mapping or Spring injection mapping. When JDev does the mapping for me I feel that I know less and less about how my application works and I bet all the advanced ADF developers out there know quite a bit about how ADF xml mapping occurs and why, and I bet they make changes to these xml files manually quite often to get things to work as they desire?
I want to be clear here I am not trying to flaming here, just trying to make a difference for other developers like myself who come along and need to learn ADF to complete some task. Looking at the OTN site I believe creating documentation for ADF development appears to be a top priority, but due to the complexity of the framework there is just so much and it seems to be everywhere. My suggestion would be to include why we are doing such and such with in jdev approach instead of a drag this here to do this approach. For example, I'd like to see a tutorial where it explains when you drag this item in to the content window it creates this xml bind which is the same as what you would normally do in JSF like this (if anyone knows of such a tutorial plz link).
Again thanks for the reply, and I encourage others to give feedback and suggestions on how I too can become a better JDev/ADF developer.

How To : Call External Webservice from BPEL and pass SOAP Message to the WS

Hello All-
Greetings to all BPEL gurus. I am currently facing difficulties in calling an External Webservice from my BPEL Process and passing SOAP Message to it. The details are below:
<strong>1. The BPEL process, using database polling feature of DB Adapter, will get the records from the database.</strong>
<strong>2. Transform the message</strong>
<strong>3. Call the External Webservice and pass the transformed message as the input to it. However the Webservice expects the BPEL process to send SOAP headers in the input message.</strong>
I am struggling on how to put the transformed message within a SOAP envelope in the BPEL process.
If anyone had similar requirements and have successfully been able to send SOAP messages from BPEL process to an external webservice, kindly let me know.
Also if there is some kind of documentation or any link in the forum that I can refer, please let me know that as well.
I am new to Webservice integration using BPEL and would really appreciate your help.
Thanks In Advance

Hi Dharmendra,
I am trying to send a SOAP message from my BPEL process to a web service. I have a complete SOAP message in a complex variable defined in the wsdl for the partnerlink (web service). My problem is that when I invoke the partnerlink it fails even though the content shown in the BPEL console looks valid.
I have set up obtunnel to see what I am actually sending out from BPEL. You mention that BPEL creates the SOAP envelope automatically.
I think that my problem is a result of this automatic SOAP envelope that BPEL is creating. Do you know if there is a way to turn it off?
This is what I see in the TCP monitor, please note the double SOAP env:Body:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <env:Body> <RCMR_IN000002NR01 xmlns="urn:hl7-org:v3" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing" xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">

I have opened a new thread for this question so as to not confuse the issue more than necessary.
How many SOAP envelopes do you really need?

Trying to add new elemwent to BPEL, and it is now having binding error

I have a BPEL service that calls a PL SQL procedure. I have added a new element to the BPEL called quote_cart_line.
All I had to the BPEL to accomplish this was edit 3 files -
Async_Invoke_Import_Model.xsd (Source)
<element name="orig_sys_line_ref" type="integer" minOccurs="1" nillable="true"/>
       <element name="quote_cart_line" minOccurs="1" nillable="true" type="integer"/>
      </sequence>
.....APPS_NI_MODEL_IMPORT_UTIL_IMPORT_SELECTIONS.xsd (Target)
<element name="ORIG_SYS_LINE_REF" type="decimal" db:type="NUMBER" minOccurs="0" nillable="true"/>
         <element name="QUOTE_CART_LINE" type="decimal" db:type="NUMBER" minOccurs="0" nillable="true"/>
      </sequence>
.....Transform_NIE_Inputs.xsl (Transforming from Source to Target)
<ns1:orig_sys_line_ref>
          <xsl:value-of select="/ns1:Async_Invoke_Import_ModelProcessRequest/ns1:import_line/ns1:orig_sys_line_ref"/>
        </ns1:orig_sys_line_ref>
        <ns1:quote_cart_line>
          <xsl:value-of select="/ns1:Async_Invoke_Import_ModelProcessRequest/ns1:import_line/ns1:quote_cart_line"/>
        </ns1:quote_cart_line>
      </ns1:import_line>
.....I have done this to two other BPELs and they work fine. (1st BPEL calls the second BPEL passing this new element, which then passes it to this BPEL I am having trouble with, which then should be binding it to a PL SQL type)
So this BPEL calls a PL SQL procedure, binding the elements from the BPEL to a PL SQL type (ni_model_import_line). So I edited the PL SQL type to accept this new parameter:
orig_sys_header_ref       NUMBER,
       quote_cart_line           NUMBER,
       CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION ni_model_import_line(p_part_number                IN VARCHAR2,
MEMBER PROCEDURE add_orig_sys_header_ref(p_org_sys_header_ref          IN NUMBER),
       MEMBER PROCEDURE add_quote_cart_line(p_quote_cart_line                 IN NUMBER)
MEMBER PROCEDURE add_quote_cart_line(p_quote_cart_line                 IN NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
   quote_cart_line := p_quote_cart_line;
END add_quote_cart_line;
END;
.....I invoke all of this, and the new element gets populated in 3 different BPELs, including this one I explained here. But when it comes time to call the PL SQL I am now getting an error:
<fault>
-<bpelFault>
<faultType>0</faultType>
-<bindingFault xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension">
-<part name="summary">

</bindingFault>
</bpelFault>
</fault>This doesnt happen if I remove the references to this new element and try again, so it obviously is a problem with the element, but I have no idea what it is. It works fine when going from BPEL to BPEL, but as soon as the process tries to call the PL SQL procedure this happens. It is even more frustrating because I have done this exactly before adding another element, and it worked fine...
Any ideas or tips please?

Edited by: 849655 on Aug 9, 2011 2:36 PM

So is there any further info I can provide or anything like that? I am still no closer to solving this it appears...
This makes no sense to me. I have edited these BPELs in this manner twice before and never had problems.
I have 3 bpels. I added the new element to each of them.
BPEL1 - calls some PL SQL and also passess the elements to the next BPEL (BPEL2)
BPEL2 - passes the elements to BPEL 3
BPEL3 - Calls PL SQL in exactly the same way as BPEL1
however, where BPEL 1 is functioning fine, BPEL3 is resulting in the error above. So frustrating, because BPEL3 works exactly like BPEL1, there is no reason it shouldn't be working. The elements are the same order as the PL SQL type and procedure it is mapping to, so that isn't the problem

Performance tuning in BPEL and ESB

Hi,
Any one can tell me how to do Performance tuning in BPEL and ESB.
How to create WEB SERVICES in BPEL

Hi',
Performance tuning in BPEL and ESB.
***This is very big topic I can give you 2 points here
In BPEL we should avoid the use of duplicate variable, the best way to do this is, when ever we are creating a new variable
we need to ask can we reuse variable from inside the process, example when creating the input/output variable in Invoke activity
we need to check if we can use some existing variable instead of creating new.
All the DB related operation should be performed in 1 single composite.
How to create WEB SERVICES in BPEL
Not sure what you want to ask here, as BPEL is itself a webservice.

Purchase Order to Purchase Order using BPEL and/or XML Gateway

Hi,
Is there a way to do create a duplicate Purchase Order in another instance using BPEL and/or XML Gateway? We're looking to do A2A transactions, namely duplicating data from one instance to another (of course the functional setups would have to be the same). Thanks!!

this is the perfect usace for the upcoming ESB (shuffling data with transforming from A to B) - but this can be done with BPEL too .. there are some solutions to this
1) on a database level (db to db)
2) having events setup'ed in the master instance, that fire a process that get's the data
3) and then using the functions from iRep

BPM and ADF integration - some questions

Hi,
I have a few questions about comunication between BPM 11.1.1.5 and Human Task based Task Flow:
1) What is the best way to pass data (task id, proces id, proces data) from BPM workspace to Human Task Task Flow (and get them as TF params).
2) Where can I find a description, how ADF app comunicates with BPM process.
3) Where can I find a description of all data controls created by JDeveloper (BPM Suite) when HT Task Flow is created.
3) Where can I find a description (and their functionality) of managed beans created by JDeveloper (BPM Suite) when HT Task Flow is created.
Kuba

Hi,
Sory, but I'm still not sure, how ADF comunicates with BPM (I know that it uses EJB services and hwtaskflow.xml). But a still don't have an answers for follwowing questions:
1) I know ADF quite good. Having method in data controls (in our case getTaskDetails()) we need to invoke it somehow. I don't see anywher invokation of this method.
2) In generated task flow there is some managed beans and params - what is role of them ? Having over 50 task flows , do I need it in all of them. Where can I find description of those beans and params
3) In our approach we use BPM , ADF RC for UI and Business Components to persist data into database. Only data from payload we need is ID of master-level row. My question is - do I have to generate data controls for all human task ?. In my my opinion it should be only one communication point between BPM and ADF but not the same for all pair human task --> task flow.
All infomation I need from BPM is:
- task ID
- task flow name (to open apriopriate tab in my application)
- available outcomes
- to know is BPM operation is enabled

Trinidad and ADF Rich Faces components::

Hi!
Does someone know about any problem while using Trinidad and ADF Rich Faces, or just the Trinidad components in JDev11g ?
Thanx.
Endy

Endy,
ADF Faces RC isn't supported in IE6, so that certainly wasn't the issue. I have inadvertently mixed Trinidad and ADF Faces RC components on a page and didn't run into issues, but I did correct that issue based upon comments from Frank/Shay on the forum. Bottom line is that while they may work (or appear to work) together, it's not a supported combination.
Best,

HELP: include another page in with JDeveloper and ADF

Hi all,
I am trying to make a layout page with JDeveloper and ADF. But I just can't make things work. I have the pre-coded header and footer html pages and want to include them in a jspx somehow. I tried panelPage too, but the rendering style is away from our pre-coded header and footer.
1. Use jsp:include.
header works fine but footer is rendered before the page content, even if the footer is placed after the page content. Is there a way to customize the position?
<f:facet name="footerFacet">
<f:subview id="footerView"
binding="#{backing_welcomePage.footerView}">
<jsp:include page="/footer.jspf"/>
</f:subview>
</f:facet>
2. Use frameBorderLayout.
I followed the doc and use the document tag. But the frame page is rendered but none of included pages are rendered. So I got a blank page.

<f:view>
<afh:html>
<afh:head title="my frame page">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/>
</afh:head>
<afh:body>
<afh:frameBorderLayout height="100%" width="100%">
<f:facet name="center">
<afh:frame source="topPage.jspx" name="topPage3"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="top">
<afh:frame source="topPage.jspx" height="200" name="topPage2"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="bottom">
<afh:frame source="topPage.jspx" height="200" name="topPage1"/>
</f:facet>
</afh:frameBorderLayout>
</afh:body>
</afh:html>
</f:view>

<f:view>
<af:document title="FrameBorderLayout Demo">
<af:form>
<af:panelGroup layout="vertical">
<f:facet name="separator">
<af:objectSeparator />
</f:facet>
<af:outputFormatted styleUsage="instruction" value="<b>A frameBorderLayout</b>"/>
</af:panelGroup>
</af:form>
</af:document>
</f:view>

for #1 have you tried throwing a verbatim tag around your includes like:
<f:verbatim>
<jsp:directive.include file="/includes/footer.jsp"/>
</f:verbatim>
it's how we got around intermixing html and jsf

Difference Between Oracle ADF and ADF Rich Client

Hello Gurus,
I want to know the difference between those two:
Oracle ADF:
http://goo.gl/6Q1i2
and
ADF Rich Client:
http://goo.gl/L31ra
I downloaded Jdeveloper 11g (11.1.2.3.0)
I did this tutorial which It adf right? http://goo.gl/8Mf7c
and this other is rich client right? http://goo.gl/7Krew
Can I please know the advantages of them over the other one? THANKS !!!

ADF Faces Rich Client Components are a part of Oracle ADF.
So Oracle ADF uses ADF Faces as the components for the rich web UI, but it also offers things like simplified database access through ADF Business Components, an advanced ADF Controller layer, and simple data binding.
I would suggest starting with this seminar:
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/Introduction_To_ADF/Introduction_To_ADF.html

COMMIT problem in TopLink, Struts, JSP and ADF Databinding sample

In the sample Developing a J2EE Application using TopLink, Struts, JSP and ADF Databinding,
I followed all the steps to build a department browse page and a edit page.
But when I get to Step number 23 in "Create a JSP to Edit Departments" I have a problem with the commit.
Only after I make a change in the form and click the sumbit button, the commit and rollback buttons become active. And After I click the commit button the data gets commited to the database but the page inofmation changes to the very first department record, not the current one.
How do I make those buttons active with out the extra click on the submit?
After I click the commit button, how do I keep the current data on the screen?
Thanks for you help.

Shay,
Thanks for the reply.
For #1, I was able to do the following and get away with not having to press submit first. I just removed the bindings for disable. I hope that does not cause any problems?
<input type="submit" name="event_Commit" value="Commit" />
<input type="submit" name="event_Rollback" value="Rollback" />
For #2, How I add an action on an HTML button? My UIModel.xml for the edit department page currently has two actions on it. Commit and RollBack. Is it linked through the "name" attribute of the input tag?
