JDeveloper, BPEL, & Rules

I'm trying to go through the SOADemo tutorial, and I'm running into some trouble. I made it through the first 7 sections without trouble. But in the 8th section, I'm trying to create the RequiresManualApproval decide activity, and JDeveloper doesn't do anything.
I successfully followed every step through 8.10 (including creating the rule set and rules in the Rules Author).
To start on step 8.11, I dragged a "Decide" step from the palette and dropped it after the CreditService scope.
Then, I set the properties of the Decide step, including name, decision service, and operation. When I click "Ok", nothing happens. The dialog stays on the screen, and there are no error messages or anything. There's also no error displayed in the BPEL message log. The "Decision Support" partner link is created. I've tried this three or four times, even restarting JDeveloper between tries. No luck.
Can anyone tell me where to start looking?

You might want to try running [jdev-root]\jdev\bin\jdev.exe to see if you get something in the console window and then post it on the SOA suite forum:

  • Does Oracle BPEL process manager ships jdeveloper bpel designer

    I had downloaded Oracle bpel process manager and installed on my desktop but I am unable to find jdeveloper bpel designer shiped with process manager.
    Could any one update me regarding the same

    Hi,
    Follow the steps which I have mentioned.If you want to start with BPEL you can do either of the two things.
    1) If you are interested in only BPEL then download and install BPEL server from oracle site. For coding you need to have Jdeveloper.
    or
    2) If you want to use all the components of SOA then download version 10.1.3.1 and install SOA suite. Apply Patch to upgrade version to 10.1.3.3.
    After installation of server, download Jdeveloper 10g and Unzip the file to use it.
    Hope I clarified your doubt.
    Cheers,

  • JDeveloper BPEL Designer Tool: Transformation Question

    Hello,
    I am prototyping a small web service orchestration demo.
    I have 3 Schema Elements - Request, IndividualResponse, and CombinedResponse
    I invoke 3 web service invocations in parallel - each of which takes a Request and returns an IndividualResponse
    I need to populate a single CombinedResponse with the contents of the 3 IndividualResponses.
    When I try a transformation node (to map an IndividualResponse to a CombinedReponse), the IndividualResponses overwrite each other's information in a single node within the CombinedResponse. I want the contents of the IndividualResponses to go into separate nodes within the CombinedResponse.
    Any ideas on how to do this in the Oracle JDeveloper BPEL Designer Tool?
    Thanks!
    -SN

    Transformation by definition converts one xml format to another. What you need to do is perform multiple assigns to copy the individual responses to the combined response.

  • JDeveloper BPEL Expression Builder : getFaultAsString()  not found

    Problem:
    In the JDeveloper BPEL Expression Builder Dialog (Assign activity) I see only 4 functions under " Advanced Functions" menu.
    1. created-nodeset-xxxx
    2. generate-guid
    3. lookup-xml
    4. parseXML.
    I expect functions like getFaultAsString() to be there. Without i I can not get the fault string. Can you please help ?
    Version Information:
    Oracle J Developer : Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.3.0

    Hi,
    You can put directly the function: ora:getFaultAsString()
    Type ora:get and press Ctrl-Space - this will open all the possible available functions.

    I suppose you are using 10.1.2.0.2, and downloaded from metalink specific patches for this release? Or are installing the patches from otn?
    ANyway: open normal dos-prompt, "cd" to correct directory and start obpatch from the unzipped patch file

  • JDeveloper BPEL Designer Extension Points?

    I'm wondering if there's any way to extend JDeveloper BPEL Designer? I know there's something for Eclipse - see for example http://eclipse.org/proposals/bpel-designer/main.html :
    "Extension Points The project should be architected as a set of plug-ins, each of which provides the ability for other groups or vendors to further extend and customize the functionality in a well-defined manner. Here is a list of possible extension points that it may provide:
    Runtime environment pairing (Validation, Compilation, Deployment)
    Addition of specific functions
    Extensions to BPEL palette definition
    BPEL element extensions and visual tool contributions"

    We are currently working on making the BPEL Designer extensible so as to allow for new activities, wizards, etc to be written by customers and partners. Is this what you are looking for? If so, this functionality is planned for 2006 and should apply to both thre Eclipse and JDev BPEL Designer plug-ins.
    Regarding source code, we are not planning to make source code available to the JDeveloper BPEL Designer plug-in, though we have proposed to open source our Eclipse BPEL Designer and co-lead that project with IBM (as you may have seen).
    If you are asking a different question than either of these, drop me an email or you also may want to post to the OTN BPEL forum:

  • Integration of custom identity services with JDeveloper BPEL designer

    Hi,
    I'd like to know if a custom user repository plugin will cause the 'Identity Lookup Dialog' (Step 6 of Human Workflow Wizard to generate a user task) to utilize the list of users and groups from a third party provider, when used as the Custom Identity Service provider.
    I'd like to have the custom list of users and groups at 'design time' of the BPEL process itself, as well as process runtime. Is this possible?
    This is with respect to both BPEL PM v10.2.0.2 and v 10.1.3.1.0.
    Regards,
    Vineet

    ok, thank you for the reply.
    But the installation of the Oracle BPEL Process Manger for Developers which includes the JDeveloper and the BPEL Designer doesn't come with 10.1.3.1.0?
    I have to install the JDeveloper and the BPEL Process Manager seperate?
    Thx

  • Scope structured activity in JDeveloper/BPEL Process

    well, I am quite using Jdeveloper for createing BPEL process with scope activity and without. Now under what conditions ideally one should go for scope activity ?
    Is it similar to methods in Java ? and variables we declare inside this scope are visible only within this scope --> again something similar to local variables in Java.
    So, ideally when should developer think of using scope activity in bpel ? though many's answers would be depends the business scenario. But I need some general concepts & thought about how one should use this ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Scope activity is being used as a container for other activities. Within the scope you can manage fault handling, compensation, variable declaration, correlation etc..
    When you build, or design your process, you need to consider a use of a scope activity.
    For example: You need to design a process that calls java class and a web service(or other 2 operations). You can:
    1. Use 1 scope that contains both calls. That way, if you will have an error for either one of the services, you can catch it, and do something, like terminate the process.
    2. Use 1 scope for each service call. That way, if you will have an error for either one of the services, you can catch it, and continue to the next process step (scope or other activity).
    Also, within a scope you can declare an operation that Replay the scope. That way, if something happens -> begin the scope (and its activities) from the beginning.
    There are many ways and purposes to use a scope. Again, it depends what is your requirement.
    One important thing to consider –scope can influence on performance (just to be aware of).

  • Can I user JDeveloper (BPEL) with other (e.g. JBoss) AppServer?

    Assume I use JDeveloper to create some BPEL Web Services Process flow.
    Can I deploy these BPEL process flow components to other AppServers (.e.g JBOSS) instead of Oracle AppServer ?
    If yes: Are there adjustments necessary ?
    Is there a step-by-step guide on how to do this ?
    Peter

    In general you can use JDeveloper to develop and deploy to JBoss, this forum is more focused on Java development and we can point you to instructions for deploying Java to JBoss from inside JDeveloper.
    As far as BPEL goes, you might want to ask on the BPEL forum:

  • JDeveloper BPEL/ESB Designer

    I'm going spare trying to set up a version of JDeveloper with the BPEL / ESB plugin.
    I have found and tried to follow Oracle documentation fo the BPEL Process Manager which claims that JDeveloper with BPEL Designer is installed with BPEL Process Manager (10.1.3.1.0).
    Once installed where the documentation claims is the link to run JDeveloper is just a HTML page telling you to download and updated JDeveloper but the BPEL update is not in the list of possible updates.
    Google has lead me to go old school and find an old Eclipse Europa install and try an out of date plug in but thats not working either (not that its much good even if it did)
    Any help as to where I can actually find what I am looking for or just a pointer to any tool where a newbie can start developing some BPEL would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    Not sure what documentation you have read but JDev does not get installed as part of the 10.1.3.1. It did with the single user license of 10.1.2
    here is the link, just unzip and play
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/soft10134.html
    Please not that this is 10.1.3.4 and is only certified for SOA Suite 10.1.3.4. If you are using 10.1.3.1 then install JDev of that version. I would recommend upgrading SOA Suite to 10.1.3.4 as 10.1.3.1 is old. Part of the 10.1.3.4 install is installing 10.1.3.1
    patch is found here http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101310.html (There is a patch link in the 10.1.3.1 install) Don't be surprised with the size of the patch as it looks like a fresh install. You just install into the same home as your 10.1.3.1 install.
    cheers

  • Jdeveloper,BPEL Midtier & standalone

    If any one familier with Jdeveloper BPELMidtier and Standalone. Please tell me the relation between these three.
    How jdeveloper is interact with BPEL?
    while installing we use to install BPEL Midtier and standalone only. We dont install Jdeveloper seperately. But we can get that jdeveloper.

    JDeveloper has an extension that allows you to develop BPEL processes - this is the BPEL development tool.
    There is also the BPEL process manager - a middletier server for running BPEL processes.

  • JDeveloper BPEL-INF/lib. How to add libraries to a bpel project.

    Hi.
    Include libraries in BPEL-INF/lib in a Jdev 10.1.3.3 bpel project is not so trivial. Does anybody know how to make that the same ant task provided by JDeveloper for deploy bpel process include the libraries needed in the BPEL-INF/lib?? or is there a better option than modify the ant task? how can a i do it?? My actual solution is include the BPEL-INF/lib by hand in the jar generated by the jdev ant task, but this approach is so tedious.

    If you use code for someone elses distributed jar file, you will have to ship their jar file with yours and include it in your classpath when launching you program.

  • [JDeveloper/BPEL] "repository.jar" is missing when building the project

    Hi,
    First of all let me say that I'm new to JDeveloper and BPEL. I followed the "CreditFlow" tutorial and everything was OK. I could deploy and run it. Then I wanted to create my own webservice and try to create a simple HelloWorld BPEL workflow. My problem now is that I get a "Error: C:\oracle\JDeveloper\jlib\repository.jar (The system cannot find the file specified)" error when I build my project.
    I had the same error message for the following jars:
    -jaxb-libs.jar
    -jaxb-impl.jar
    -jaxb-api.jar
    I just copied them from "<jdeveloper_inst_dir>\adfp\lib" to "<jdeveloper_inst_dir>\webservices\lib" to get rid of thoses error messages.
    But this "repository.jar" simply doesn't exist on my filesystem...
    I think it's pretty strange...
    BTW I use JDeveloper version 10.1.3.3.0.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi,
