JCA 1.5 Resource Adapter integration

Hi,
I'm trying to create a custom JCA 1.5 Resource Adapter that has to be integrated with the BPEL PM. I already have the JCA Resource Adapter done,
and I want to integrate it with BPEL. I'm following the document http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/adapters/pdf/Adapter%20Development%20cookbook.pdf, but I'm not able to make it work. Is there more documentation? any tutorial, example...
Thanks,
Miquel

Hi Manfred,
This is the error page that I'm getting. Seems an internal BPEL PM error. I can't make the Audit Trail because I'm getting an error page, not the result page.
Yes, I have the CCI ManagedConnectionFactory deployed as eis/imEIS
What do you mean with the records must be of type XMLRecord? This is what the XMLRecordConverter has to do, no?
To convert javax.resource.cci.Record <-> oracle.tip.adapter.api.record.XMLRecord
Thanks for your help,
Miquel

Deploying a custom JCA 1.5 resource adapter...

I am developing a custom resource adapter that will be deployed in OC4J 10.1.3.0.0. When starting OC4J, I receive the following error:
Unable to find connection definition in ra.xml for connectionfactory interface specified in connection-factory element: bmv.ipc.ra.IpcConnectionFactory.
Does anyone have experience deploying custom resource adapters? Also, does anyone know the earliest version of OC4J that supports JCA 1.5?
Thank you,

JCA 1.5 Resource Adapter implementation

Anybody knows whether there is a J2EE Connector 1.5 complaint Resource
Adapter implementation somewhere?

Hallo
you can download a tutorial for an Resource Adapter. It#s only for the J2EE 1.3. But I guess for the beginning it's complex enough
Here is the link:

ClassCastException by using deployed resource adapter

Dear community team,
I try to create an connection for my web application (war file) running on SAP Web Application Server to access an enterprise information system (Apache JackRabbit) by using JCA and deployed resource adapter. The resource adapter "jackrabbit-jca-1.3.3.rar " is provided Apache Jackrabbit.
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/downloads.cgi
I changed some deployment descriptor configuration and deployed it successfully by using Deployment Tools. With the Visual Administrator I also could check the JNDI object and finded an entry in connector container.
The JNDI lookup worked fine and it returned a object type "JCARepositoryHandle" (I could analyse its type and attributes in debugging modus).If I tried to cast the object "JCARepositoryHandle", I got an ClassCastException.
Do you have any adoption why I only saw the returned object "JCARepositoryHandle" in debugging modus but it wasnt possible cast and to use it.
If you need any more information, please let me know.
Thanks for your support.
PS: Please have also a look in the attached source an configuration files:

I need Fusion help creating a demo of BRM JCA Resource Adapter

I need Fusion help creating a demo of BRM JCA Resource Adapter.
I know BRM well but am clueless with Fusion.
I am trying to figure out what Fusion products to download and install and how I manipulate the Fusion side to manipulate BRM.
My BRM docs say:

Software requirements
(yada yada install a bunch of BRM stuff I know how to do)
The adapter must be deployed on a J2EE 1.4-compliant application server that has implemented the JCA 1.5 specification. The adapter runs only in a managed environment. (Does this imply some particular Fusion package?)
(more yada yada about installing more BRM packages I know how to do)
Deploying and configuring the BRM JCA Resource Adapter ->
Overview of the BRM JCA Resource Adapter configuration procedure
The procedure for setting up the BRM JCA Resource Adapter includes the following tasks:

Generating the schema files for the adapter. See Generating the schema files for your system. (links to some BRM commands np)
Specifying how to construct XML tags. See Specifying the XML tags for extended fields. (links to an oob file included with directions on how to address BRM customizations np)
Generating the WSDL files for the adapter. See Generating the WSDL files for your system. (links to an oob file with directions to configure. I could use some help if/when I get this far)
The last two look pretty important but I haven't a clue. I pasted the text from the docs below.
Deploying the adapter on your application server. See Deploying the BRM JCA Resource Adapter on an Oracle application server.
Connecting the adapter to the BRM software. See Connecting the adapter to BRM in Oracle AS.
Deploying the BRM JCA Resource Adapter on an Oracle application server
The adapter is dependent on Java Archive (JAR) files to deploy properly. The following table lists the JAR files that the adapter requires from each application in your system.
Application
JAR files
J2EE application server
classes12.jar, connector15.jar, and jta.jar
Oracle BPEL process
bpm-infra.jar, orabpel-thirdparty.jar, orabpel.jar, and xmlparserv2.jar
BRM J2EE Resource Adapter
pcm.jar and pcmext.jar
Apache
xercesImpl.jar
If you are deploying the adapter in a standalone Oracle Containers for Java EE (OC4J) instance, make sure these JAR files are available to the class loader that is loading the adapter.
If you are deploying the adapter by using Oracle SOA Suite, these JAR files are available as part of the oracle.bpel.common code source. You import these libraries as follows:
Open the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/config/applications.xml configuration file for the J2EE instance.
Add the oracle.bpel.common entry (shown in bold below) to the imported-shared-libraries section of the file:
<imported-shared-libraries>
<import-shared-library name="adf.oracle.domain"/>
<import-shared-library name="oracle.bpel.common"/>
</imported-shared-libraries>
Save and close the file.
Restart the application server or the J2EE instance.
After you make the JAR files available, deploy the adapter on the Oracle application server by using either the Oracle Application Server (Oracle AS) Application Server Control (ASC) or the Oracle admintool.jar file. Copy the adapter archive file (BRM_home/apps/brm_integrations/jca_adapter/OracleBRMJCA15Adapter.rar) from the installation directory to a location that is accessible to the adapter deployment tool. You can then open and deploy the archive file on your application server.
After successful deployment, return the applications.xml file to its original settings and add the oracle.bpel.common codesource to the BRM Adapter oc4j-ra.xml file:
Open the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/config/applications.xml configuration file for the J2EE instance.
Remove the following oracle.bpel.common entry (shown in bold below):
<imported-shared-libraries>
<import-shared-library name="adf.oracle.domain"/>
<import-shared-library name="oracle.bpel.common"/>
</imported-shared-libraries>
Save and close the file.
Open the JCA Resource Adapter oc4j-ra.xml file from the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/application-deployments/default/BRMAdapterDeploymentName directory.
Add the oracle.bpel.common entry (shown in bold below) to the oc4j-connector-factories section of the file:
<oc4j-connector-factories...>
<imported-shared-libraries>
<import-shared-library name="oracle.bpel.common"/>
</imported-shared-libraries>
<oc4j-connector-factories>
Save and close the file.
Restart the application server or the J2EE instance.
For more information about deploying the adapter, see your application server’s documentation.
Connecting the adapter to BRM in Oracle AS
You connect the adapter to the BRM software by creating connection pools and connection factories. As part of the adapter deployment, the application server creates oc4j-ra.xml from the packaged ra.xml. The ra.xml file is located in the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/connectors/AdapterDeploymentName/AdapterDeploymentName/META-INF directory. For example, Oracle_home/j2ee/home/connectors/BRMAdapter/BRMAdapter/META-INF/ra.xml.
Use the resource adapter home page from the Oracle AS ASC page to create connection pools and connection factories.
Create your connection pool by following the performance and tuning guidelines in Configuring Connection Pooling in OC4J in Oracle Containers for J2EE Resource Adapter Administrator's Guide. See download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28956/conncont.htm.
Make sure you set the pool’s Maximum Connections parameter (maxConnections XML entity) equal to or greater than the Oracle BPEL process manager’s dspMaxThreads parameter. For more information, see Oracle BPEL Process Manager Performance Tuning in Oracle Application Server Performance Guide for 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) at download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/core.1013/b28942/tuning_bpel.htm.
Note To set up JCA Resource Adapter transaction management in BPEL, you must create a private connection pool and set its Inactive Connection Timeout property (inactivity-timeout XML entity) to 0. See About JCA Resource Adapter transaction management in BPEL for more information.
Create as many connection factories as your system needs. For each connection factory, specify the following:
The JNDI location for the connection factory.
The connection pool to use.
How to connect to BRM by using these entries:
Entry
Description
ConnectionString
Specify the protocol, host name, and port number for connecting to the BRM software. For example: ip Server1 12006.
DBNumber
Specify the database number for the BRM database. For example, enter 1 or 0.0.0.1 for database 0.0.0.1.
InputValidation
Specifies whether to validate the input XMLRecord:
True — The adapter validates the input XMLRecord against the opcode schema.
False — The adapter does not validate the input XMLRecord.
The default is False.
This overrides any other validation parameter specified in the WSDL file.
OutputValidation
Specifies whether to validate the output XMLRecord:
True — The adapter validates the output XMLRecord against the opcode schema.
False — The adapter does not validate the output XMLRecord.
The default is False.
This overrides any other validation parameter specified in the WSDL file.
LoginType
Specifies the authentication method:
1 — The adapter logs in to BRM by using the specified login name and password.
0 — The adapter logs in to BRM by using the specified service type and POID ID.
The default is 1.
UserName
Specifies the login name the adapter uses for logging in to the BRM software.
Note This entry is required only if LoginType is set to 1.
Password
Specify the password the adapter uses for logging in to the BRM software.
Note This entry is required only if LoginType is set to 1.
PoidID
Specifies the POID ID. This entry should be set to 1.
ServiceType
Specifies the service the adapter uses to log in to the BRM software.
The default is /service/pcm_client.
You have successfully configured the adapter to connect to BRM.

Add the oracle.bpel.common entry (shown in bold below) to the oc4j-connector-factories section of the file:
<oc4j-connector-factories...>
<imported-shared-libraries>
<import-shared-library name="oracle.bpel.common"/>
</imported-shared-libraries>
<oc4j-connector-factories>
Save and close the file.
Restart the application server or the J2EE instance.
For more information about deploying the adapter, see your application server’s documentation.
Connecting the adapter to BRM in Oracle AS
You connect the adapter to the BRM software by creating connection pools and connection factories. As part of the adapter deployment, the application server creates oc4j-ra.xml from the packaged ra.xml. The ra.xml file is located in the Oracle_home/j2ee/Instance/connectors/AdapterDeploymentName/AdapterDeploymentName/META-INF directory. For example, Oracle_home/j2ee/home/connectors/BRMAdapter/BRMAdapter/META-INF/ra.xml.
Use the resource adapter home page from the Oracle AS ASC page to create connection pools and connection factories.
Create your connection pool by following the performance and tuning guidelines in Configuring Connection Pooling in OC4J in Oracle Containers for J2EE Resource Adapter Administrator's Guide. See download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28956/conncont.htm.
Make sure you set the pool’s Maximum Connections parameter (maxConnections XML entity) equal to or greater than the Oracle BPEL process manager’s dspMaxThreads parameter. For more information, see Oracle BPEL Process Manager Performance Tuning in Oracle Application Server Performance Guide for 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) at download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/core.1013/b28942/tuning_bpel.htm.
Note To set up JCA Resource Adapter transaction management in BPEL, you must create a private connection pool and set its Inactive Connection Timeout property (inactivity-timeout XML entity) to 0. See About JCA Resource Adapter transaction management in BPEL for more information.
Create as many connection factories as your system needs. For each connection factory, specify the following:
The JNDI location for the connection factory.
The connection pool to use.
How to connect to BRM by using these entries:
Entry
Description
ConnectionString
Specify the protocol, host name, and port number for connecting to the BRM software. For example: ip Server1 12006.
DBNumber
Specify the database number for the BRM database. For example, enter 1 or 0.0.0.1 for database 0.0.0.1.
InputValidation
Specifies whether to validate the input XMLRecord:
True — The adapter validates the input XMLRecord against the opcode schema.
False — The adapter does not validate the input XMLRecord.
The default is False.
This overrides any other validation parameter specified in the WSDL file.
OutputValidation
Specifies whether to validate the output XMLRecord:
True — The adapter validates the output XMLRecord against the opcode schema.
False — The adapter does not validate the output XMLRecord.
The default is False.
This overrides any other validation parameter specified in the WSDL file.
LoginType
Specifies the authentication method:
1 — The adapter logs in to BRM by using the specified login name and password.
0 — The adapter logs in to BRM by using the specified service type and POID ID.
The default is 1.
UserName
Specifies the login name the adapter uses for logging in to the BRM software.
Note This entry is required only if LoginType is set to 1.
Password
Specify the password the adapter uses for logging in to the BRM software.
Note This entry is required only if LoginType is set to 1.
PoidID
Specifies the POID ID. This entry should be set to 1.
ServiceType
Specifies the service the adapter uses to log in to the BRM software.
The default is /service/pcm_client.
You have successfully configured the adapter to connect to BRM.

BINDING.JCA-12510 JCA Resource Adapter location error in SOA 11g Suite

Hi,
I am just testing one simple SOA Application in SOA 11g Suite. Created a SOA Composite Application with one DB Adapter at designtime all worked fine with DB Adapter. But when I deploy the Application on the server I get the following error:
The JCA Binding Component was unable to establish an outbound JCA CCI connection due to the following issue: BINDING.JCA-12510 JCA Resource Adapter location error. Unable to locate the JCA Resource Adapter via .jca binding file element <connection-factory/> The JCA Binding Component is unable to startup the Resource Adapter specified in the <connection-factory/> element: location='eis/DB/soademoDatabase'. The reason for this is most likely that either 1) the Resource Adapters RAR file has not been deployed successfully to the WebLogic Application server or 2) the '<jndi-name>' element in weblogic-ra.xml has not been set to eis/DB/soademoDatabase. In the last case you will have to add a new WebLogic JCA connection factory (deploy a RAR). Please correct this and then restart the Application Server ".Do I need to jndi-name in weblogic-ra.xml if so what is the exact location. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I did but still not able to connect now getting the following error. I went to the Weblogic Console, clicked on deployments, selected DBAdapter, clicked on configuration ,
and then I don't see outbound configurations instead it shows Outbound Connection Pools, Under Outbound Connection Pools tab I clicked on New and it asked to select Outbound Connection Group I selected the one that was already there (with JNDI eis/DB/SOADemo) and then created my JNDI which was added to the default Outbound Connection Group and in the end it asked to save the Plan.xml which I saved it under a new directory created under soa directory. But still am not able to connect.
How do I create my own Connection Group as don't want to use the defualt one out there.
After creating the JNDI Name it asks for saving the Plan.xml file. Where exactly we save this file. Are there any standards.
Why can't I update any properties when I click on the new JNDI name it takes to Settings for javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory --> Outbound Connection Properties but there I see a save buttn but I can't make any changes.
BINDING.JCA-12563 Exception occured when binding was invoked. Exception occured during invocation of JCA binding: "JCA Binding execute of Reference operation 'getCreditValidationSelect' failed due to: Could not create/access the TopLink Session. This session is used to connect to the datastore. Caused by javax.resource.spi.InvalidPropertyException: Missing Property Exception. Missing Property: [DBManagedConnectionFactory.userName]. You may have set a property (in _db.jca) which requires another property to be set also. Make sure the property is set in the interaction (activation) spec by editing its definition in _db.jca. . ". The invoked JCA adapter raised a resource exception. Please examine the above error message carefully to determine a resolution. Is there any documentation that lists all these steps as I couldn't find it anywhere. The guide only talks abou DBAdapter but how to configure etc can't find any info. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

JCA Resource Adapter Deployment in OAS 10.1.2

Hi,
I have installed the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) (j2ee & web cache) and I want to know how I can deploy a JCA Resource Adapter. Until now I have work with Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) and this version has a section in the administration web (applications->Standalone Resource Adapters) where I can deploy the RA.
But now, I have to deploy a Resource adapter in OAS 10.1.2 and I don't know how to do it. Any help?
Thanks,
Miquel

Is there any error or warning message in WLS server log related to your adapter? WLS may ignore some properties if found non-fundamental error.

JCA adapter Integration with SOA suite

Hi all,
Where can I find documentation or reference regarding integration of third party adapter with SOA suite?
There is an option of Third Party Adapter in SOA project of JDeveloper. When I drag it onto the composite.xml file, a window comes up asking for wsdl, jca files, etc. So I would like to know if there is any example or tutorial on how to integrate a third party adapter with SOA suite. Thanks.
Regards,
K.Hein

Thanks Anuj!
It seems like a new way of integrating JCA adapter to SOA suite.
Actually, I was only aware of integrating as a third party adapter as mentioned in this article (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/luttikhuizen-adapters-091679.html) which require wsdl and jca files.
Are there any difference between those two approaches? Which would be the recommended approach for JCA adapter integration with SOA? Thanks again for your informative replies.
Regards,
Kyi Hein

JCA Resource Adapter CCI

Has anyone found a reference application that properly uses the JCA CCI specification? I would like to test a Resource Adapter against the standard rather than against my understanding of the standard.

Resource Adapter for Java EE 5 (JCA 1.5)

Hello,
are there Resource Adapter which are implemented in compliance with the Java EE 5 standard according to the Java Connectivity Architecture 1.5 which could be deployed on the AS of SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1? If yes where could I get this?
Regards,
Armin

Hi Armin,
SAP Java Resource Adapter (SAP JRA) 1.5 is implemented according latest java connector specification. It is deployed by default on SAP NetWeaver CE 7.1 and you can use it. Jndi name for out bound resource adapter is "eis/SAPJRAFactory".
Best regards,

JCA - Resource adapter information in ManagedConnectionFactory

Hi,
I am developing a Outbound Resource Adapter. Is there any way to get the Resource Adapter Object associated in ManagedConnectionFactory Implementation? Or is there a means by which we can pass on the configuration
data (Like user name, password) to ManagedConnectionFactory at start up of Resource Adapter. This is particularly
needed when we configure some initial no of connections in a connection pool at start up.
Thanks for any information.
Abhijit

Hi Abhijit,
as the api shows a connection can be established by passing an instance of javax.resource.cci.ConnectionSpec. The interface itself provides no method, so you have to specify them on your own like setUserName(String name) and setPassword(String pw).
Client code should look like:
ConnectionFactory cf = ...; // jndi lookup
ConnectionSpecImpl connSpec = new ConnectionSpecImpl();
connSpec.setUserName("myName");
connSpec.setPassword("myPassword");
Connection conn = cf.getConnection(connSpec);
Internally the connSpec instance should be passed by the factory to the pooling instance.

JCA Resource adapter deployment in Weblogic server

Hi,
I have deployed a resource adapter successfully in Weblogic server and works fine.My resource adapter has weblogic-ra.xml and ra.xml available under meta-inf folder.I have provided some properties in weblogic-ra.xml and ra.xml but unable to see the same properties when i open the resource adapter settings page in the the weblogic administration console
I want to change resource adapter properties from weblogic adminstration console but dont see the properties which i used during deployment.
Can someone help with identifying the issue or if i have to do something different.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks
S

Not sure what might be causing this behavior. Property values in ra/weblogic-ra.xml should be displayed on the console (http://machine:port/console). I think I have experienced similar issue only to realize that console only displays 10 properties and other properties are displayed after pressing Next link on the page.
How many proprieties you have? What are getting displayed and what properties are not getting displayed?

BPEL & Resource adapter deployment in 10.1.2

Hi,
I have deployed a JCA resource adapter in a 10.1.2 server and it seems that it doesn't get deployed right or, at least, when I test it with a BPEL process, doesn’t work.
I have tested the adapter and the BPEL process in 10.1.3 and works fine, but it doesn't work in 10.1.2. I need to work in 10.1.2 because I'm using the B2B integration suite and this is only available in 10.1.2.
This is what I have done to deploy the adapter:
i. I created the file oc4j-ra.xml in C:\OraHome_1OAS\j2ee\OC4J_BPEL\application-deployments\default\EbMS Adapter
ii. I copied the adapter rar file in C:\OraHome_1OAS\j2ee\OC4J_BPEL\connectors\EbMS Adapter
iii. I update C:\OraHome_1OAS\j2ee\OC4J_BPEL\config\oc4j-connectors.xml
Then, when I try to deploy a BPEL process to test the adapter, I get this error in the log (C:\OraHome_1OAS\integration\orabpel\domains\default\logs\domain.log):

Required Resource Adapter cookbook for 11g

How to write wsdl and the .jca binding file for a custom resource adapter in Fusion 11g? There was a resource adapter cookbook which had the details for writing wsdl for Fusion 10g (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/adapters/pdf/Adapter%20Development%20cookbook.)
Is there anything similar in 11g?
I am trying to invoke a custom resource adapter deployed on weblogic 10.3 from BPEL.
Kindly provide info on this or direct me to the correct guide.
Thanks,
Amith

Hi Melvin,
I have successfully created the resource adapter and deployed the same on weblogic managed server. The problem i am having is to invoke this resource adapter from BPEL process. In Fusion 10g release i followed the cook book (link given in the previous message) to create the wsdl which also had the jca bindings for outbound and inbound transaction. In 11g i find that the jca bindings has to be put in a separate .jca file and there is no documentation given on how to create the .jca file for resource adapters.
Any information on this will be really helpfull.
Thanks,
Amith
