SOA Suite 11g on WLS: Admin console EM not accessible

Question

Hello everybody,
I am trying to install and run a sample SOA composite using SOASuite11g. Here are steps i followed-
1> Created schemas using RCU
2> Installed using JDeveloper11.1.1. 1.0.exe, which has installed Weblogic server and Jdeveloper.
3> Created a WLS domain (only admin server, no managed server and machines) and targeted al avalilable soa_suite components to the admin server.
4> Installed SOA Composite Editor (using Find Patches and Upgrade option in JDeveloper)
5> createed a basic soa composite project in jdeveloper and deployed that to the soa server.
6> if i go to http://localhost:port/soa_infra, the project is shown depolyed.
However, I am not getting any app under http://localhost:port/em or http://localhost:port/BPELConsole
If I login to the weblogic console http://localhost:port/console, under deployed applications there seems to be no such app.
Is it a problem with the version i have installed that even though it installs weblogic domain with soa_infra components, it does not supply the enterprise manager component.
Is there a way i can test the deployed compoiste?
Thank a lot in advance. Regards.

Hi,
There is no BPELConsole in 11g. You can test your composites from EM, if you have selected EM during domain creation. If you haven't, then extend your domain with EM.
To extend the domain with EM, stop your servers in domain. Invoke the config. Select extend option. Select the EM template.
EM will be available in http://host:port/em
You can alternatively test your composites if you know the composite WSDL. You can use SOAP UI or any SOAP testing tools.
Usually it will be something like
http://host:port/soa-infra/services/default/TaskFormVerifyComposite!51.0/client?WSDL
In the above wsdl, till default it will be same for all the composite, followed by composite name, a ! symbol, followed by revision and then your exposed service. If you omit the revision, then the default revision will be invoked.
Hope this helps..!!!
