Invoking Secured Services from BPEL - Build scripts

Question

We are using SOA Suite 10.1.3.4 and JDeveloper 10.1.3.4 for BPEL process development. We are invoking secure web services from BPEL. In order to do this, we have imported the server certificates in the keystore of Oracle SOA Suite. These certificates are also imported into JDev keystore. In DEV environment, I have deployed the BPEL process from JDeveloper and the tested the https web service invocation. It works fine.
When taking this to PROD environment, we need to provide deployment scripts to the release team. Should the scripts contain any properties specific to SSL configuration? I want the deployment to happen the same way JDeveloper deploys BPEL process by makign use of SSL Certs in its keystore. What is the way to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi
You can deploy BPEL to BPEL process manager using ANT or Jdeveloper . I prefer ANT to deploy to prod.
Coming to security impmentation, you can use OWSM (Oracle Websevices manager) to assign security key before invoking secured webservice.
In OWSM follow the brief steps below.
1. create gateway
2. create service which points to secured webservice
3. create pipeline templates with assigning security key , before that import key store to your server
4. assign above pipeline template to service
5. now get the URL of service created.
In Jdev:
6.In BPEL process create partner link with above Service URL in step5 ( instead of directly pointing to secured webservice from BPEL, go thru OWSM)
7. use ANT or JDeveloper to deploy BPEL process to Prod.
Before deploying to PROD you need to above steps 1 to 5 on PROD OWSM
for more details on OWSM please see following link:
