SOAOrderBoooking and obtunnel

Hi,
I installed soa suite 10.1.3.1.0 and SoaOrderBooking demo. Everything works, but then I tried to encrypt &decrypt credit card info sent to CreditValidatingService and the following error occurs:
Faulted while invoking operation "VerifyCC" on provider "CreditValidatingService".

It seems that something is wrong with decrypting phase.
I tried to use obtunnel to see SOAP messages, but I can not see anything. Can somebody help me with setting obtunnel to debug thing.

1. Start up a TCP tunnel listening on port 1234 (or whatever you used for your Gateway CreditValidatingService port).
* Either start a BPEL Developer Prompt, or from a command line, call SOA_HOME\bpel\bin\obsetenv.bat
* To start the TCP tunnel, issue the following at the command line:
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -classpath %OB_CLASSPATH% org.collaxa.thirdparty.apache.axis.utils.tcpmon 1234 localhost 8888
* Once it is running, check the XML Format checkbox at the bottom left corner. This doesn't change the data that's displayed, but puts it in a nicer format.
2. Run new instance of order booking tutorial (or use instance from prior demo). Show that the credit card information is sent in open text across the network in the TCP tunnel.
3. In OWSM Console click Policy Management > Manage Policies. We need to do two things in OWSM, encrypt the outgoing message and encrypt the incoming message.
4. Encrypt Outbound SSN
* Click the Policies link for the MyGateway row
* Click the pencil to edit the CreditValidatingService policy pipeline
* In the Request pipeline, add a step below the Start or Log pipeline step
* Select XML Encrypt from the drop-down in the Step Template
* Click OK
* Click the Configure link for your new XML Encrypt step
o Keystore location = (wherever you stored your keystore file above) for example: C:\Products\OWSM\mykeystore
o Keystore password = welcome1
o Public key alias = keyalias
o (I usually explain now that you could encrypt just a part of the message, e.g. just the credit card number with an XPATH expression but for speed of demo, I'll just encrypt the entire message, so leave all the other settings as defaults)
* Click OK > Next > Save > Commit
5. Decrypt Inbound SSN
* Click Policy Management > Manage Policies
* Click Policies link for CreditValidatingServiceAgent
* Click pencil to edit Default Policy
* In Request pipeline, add step below Start or Log pipeline step
* Select XML Decrypt and click OK
* Click Configure for new XML Decrypt step
o Keystore location = same as above
o Keystore password = welcome1
o Decryptors private key alias = keyalias
o Private key password = welcome1
* Click OK > Next > Save > Commit
9. Run new order through and see data encrypted in TCP Tunnel!

  • How to monitor BPEL process..? i want to see HTTP request message..

    Hi all,
    Is there any way to monitor BPEL process. In Jdev there is tool call
    HTTP analyzer but it only monitors process which are invoked from Jdev.
    Like Java webservices can monitored via that tool. But i want to monitor BPEL
    process. I want to see Http request message. It that possible.?
    thanks a lot.
    /mishit

    Any requests you want to monitor should be routed through obtunnel. So the webservice that calls your bpel process should use the url of the machine where obtunnel is located, and obtunnel should be configured with the details of the machine where the bpel process is located.
    also, you may find this thread of interest How to capture SOAP message using TCP Monitor in JDev?

  • 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:

  • A problem with Threads and loops.

    Hi, I have some code that needs to be constantly running, like while(true)
          //code here
    }However, the code just checks to see if the user has input anything (and then if the user has, it goes to do some other stuff) so I don't need it constantly running and hogging up 98% of the CPU. So I made my class (which has the method that needs to be looped, call it ClassA) implement Runnable. Then I just added the method which needed to be looped into the public void run()
    I have another class which creates an instance of the above class (call it ClassB), and the main(String[] args) is in there.
    public static void main(String[] args)
              ClassA test = new ClassA();
              Thread thread = new Thread(test.getInstanceOfClassA());
              thread.start();
              while(true)
                           //I do not know what to put here
                   try
                        thread.sleep(100);
                   catch(InterruptedException iex)
         }However, the thread only calls run() once,(duh...) but I can't think of away to get it to run - sleep - run -sleep forever. Can someone help me?

    Hi, I have some code that needs to be constantly

    input anything (and then if the user has, it goes to
    do some other stuff) so I don't need it constantly
    running and hogging up 98% of the CPU. Where does the user input come from. Are you reading from an InputStream? If so, then your loop will be blocked anyway when reading from the InputStream until data is available. During that time, the loop will not consume processor cycles.
    public static void main(String[] args)
              ClassA test = new ClassA();
    Thread thread = new Thread(test.getInstanceOfClassA());I have never seen this idiom. If ClassA instanceof Runnable, you simply write new Thread(test).
              thread.start();
              while(true)
    //I do not know what to put
    do not know what to put here

    You can also try to provide a greater Priority to your player thread so that it gains the CPU time when ever it needs it and don't harm the playback.
    However a loop in a Thread and that to an infinite loop is one kind of very bad programming, 'cuz the loop eats up most of your CPU time which in turn adds up more delays of the execution of other tasks (just as in your case it is the playback). By witting codes bit efficiently and planning out the architectural execution flow of the app before start writing the code helps solve these kind of issues.
    You can go through [this simple tutorial|http://oreilly.com/catalog/expjava/excerpt/index.html] about Basics of Java and Threads to know more about threads.

  • Problem with Threads and a static variable

    I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
    Code functionality:
    A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
    The problem as far I understand is:
    Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
    Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
    Thanks,
    B.D.
    Code:
    private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
    private static Thread objMainProcess;
       protected static void Init(){
            objMainProcess = new Thread() {
                public void run() {
                    while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                       GetState();
            objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
            objMainProcess.start();
        public static void initStatusTimer(){
            if(objTimer == null)
                 objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                              SetState();
        private static void SetState(){
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                bChanged = true;
                try{
                    objMainProcess.notify();
                }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
        private static boolean GetState() {
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                if( bChanged) {
                    SendMessage();
                    bChanged = false;
                    return true;
                try {
                    objMainProcess.wait();
                }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
                return false;
        }

    Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
    Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
    The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
    Thanks,
    B.D.

  • Problem with Threads and "plase wait..."-Window

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem that I'm not able to solve in any way... I have a time-consuming task (a file decryption) which I execute in a separate thread; I've used the SwingWorker class, like suggested by sun-tutorial, and it works right. The problem is that I have to wait that the decryption have finished before continuing with program-execution. Therefore I would like to display a "please wait"-window while the task runs. I've tryed all the possible ways I know but the problem is always the same: the waitWindow is displayed empty, the bounds are painted but the contents no; it's only painted when the decrypt-task has finished. Please help me, I have no more resources....

    Maybe you can try setting the priority of the long-running thread to be lower? so that the UI will be more responsive...

  • Problem with threads and graphics

    I have a thread that chooses paths for a Travelling salesman problem, it then calls a TSPdraw class and passes it the path, which the class then draws. the problem is when i have two threads it creates two windows but only draws a path in one of them. any ideas where i`m going wrong

    Are you using swing components? Swing isn't threadsafe. If you have multiple threads that want to update your UI you need to use the SwingUtilities.invokeLater(...)or invokeAndWait(...). There is a page in the swing tutorial about this at: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/threads.html

  • Problem with threads and ProgressMonitor

    Dear Friends:
    I have a little problem with a thread and a ProgressMonitor. I have a long time process that runs in a thread (the thread is in an separate class). The thread has a ProgressMonitor that works fine and shows the tasks progress.
    But I need deactivate the main class(the main class is the user interface) until the thread ends.
    I use something like this:
    LongTask myTask=new LongTask();
    myTask.start();
    myTask.join();
    Now, the main class waits for the task to end, but the progress monitor don`t works fine: it shows only the dialog but not the progress bar.
    What's wrong?

    Is the dialog a modal dialog? This can block other UI updates.
    In general, you should make sure that it isn't modal, and that your workThread has a fairly low priority so that the UI can do its updating

  • Problem with threads and/or memory

    I'm developing an application where there are 3 threads. One of them sends a request to the other, and if the 2nd can't answer it, it sends it to the 3rd (similar to CPU -> CACHE -> MEMORY). When i run the program with 1000-10.000 requests, no problem occurs. When i run it with 300.000-1.000.000 requests, it sometimes hangs. Is this a problem with the garbage collector, or should it be related to the threads mecanism.
    (note: eache thread is in execution using a finite state machine)

    i had been running the program inside Netbeans.
    Running the jar using the command line outside
    Netbeans i have no more problems... Does Netbeans use
    it's own JVM?Depends how you set it up, but look under the options. There are settings for the compiler and jvm that it uses.

  • Null And " "

    What is the difference between these two lines of codes?
    String currentFile = null;
    String currentFile = "";
    Edited by: AMARSHI on Jul 10, 2008 7:07 AM

    The reference variable itself, takes up the same amount of space, of course, as all references are the same size. Now, the object on the heap is a different story. With null there isn't one, of course (or if there is there is only one for the entire VM), and for the second a String object will be created in the String pool (once again, only one for the entire VM that every = "" assignment will use). But really, what difference does it make? If there is a difference, it is on the order of a few bytes (at max) for the entire VM, and if this is a concern, your probably doing something else greviously wrong. This miniscule difference should not concern you.
    Edit: And "nulling" variables to "save" memory is also not something you should be concerned with. Either the variable will go out of scope and the object garbage collected anyway, or it's in constant use and so will not be taking up any extraneous heap space. If one of those is not the case, you are, once again, doing something greviously wrong.

  • And/or if statement in rtf templates.

    Hi all,
    I'm using XML Publisher 4.5.
    I have created a word template file (rtf) for my reports. I need to be able to show some content in the template file by using and and/or if statement.
    fx. <?if:doc_type='STANDARD'?> OR <?if:doc_type='DEFAULT'?>
    How can I do this?
    In advance thank you.
    Best regards
    Kenneth

    Hi D,
    Thank you for your answer.
    I have seriously thought about that solution; but I don't think it's a smart way to do it.
    If i do it like that, i need to copy the whole table and paste it inside the if statements.
    I have two xml elements that I need to make the decisions on. POH_PO_TYPE & CP_RELEASE_NUM.
    POH_PO_TYPE can be: STANDARD, RELEASE or BLANKET.
    CP_RELEASE_NUM can be: '' or N
    If POH_PO_TYPE is RELEASE AND CP_RELEASE_NUM is not ''
    OR POH_PO_TYPE is STANDARD
    OR POH_PO_TYPE is BLANKET AND CP_RELEASE_NUM is ''
    THEN show table (which contains the whole PO).
    It shall show the content of the PO in any of these cases.
    BR Kenneth

  • I install window 8 and Unfortunatly all drive format. And all drive mix, now i have only 1 DRIVE C. I want Bit locker Drive's data Back

    Last sunday i install a window 8 and this window format my all drive & make it 1 drive (DRIVE C). Before all of this i have 5 drive in different size with 1 Bitlocker protect drive.
    So i try data recovery software to recover my data. i got back all my data without that ( bitlocker ) protected drive.
    so please guys help me how can i get back data from bitlocker protected drives.
    please please help me.

    Hi,
    I sorry for your experience, but there is no way to recovery the data encryped by BitLocker untill now.
    BitLocker is designed to make the encrypted drive unrecoverable without the required authentication. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or recovery key to unlock the encrypted drive. Therefore, we highly recommend
    that you store the recovery information in AD DS or in another safe location.
    Please refer to the link below for the statement:

  • Open and cancelled Quote Report

    Hi,
    Can anyone give me the information  for getting open and cancelled Quote Report?

    I hope you are using reason for rejection for cancelling quotations. If that is the case, you can use transaction VA25 to view the list of quotations. Here you can filter on two columns status and reason for rejection to view the report as per your requirement.
