Unique rollback in a BPEL process using web services

We are a cellular communication company using Oracle DB (10g) and Oracle Forms to run our business applications (customer care and the like). We have planned a system migration using the SOA approach with the latest release of Oracle BPEL Suite (business logic), Oracle ADF BC (presentation level), Oracle OAS (application server) and JDeveloper (application development IDE).
Within our current applications we have processes that perform several tasks (inserts, updates and/or deletes on the same DB) as part of one atomic DB transaction. Using the SOA approach we’ve deemed those tasks as being ‘services’ that we, let’s say for the sake of argument, could implement either as web services (so as to be published for reuse) or as stored procedures encapsulated via DB adapters (BPEL lexicon).
Our biggest challenge, and hence our question to the SOA world, is how to attain that same unique transaction. We understand that there is no one perfect approach, for the ‘solution’ depends on too many factors and choices; what we’d like to know are past experiences people had or, at best, what do people consider what the best practices in the industry are regarding this matter.
Approach A: all services are implemented as DB adapters (stored procedures and the like).
PROS: one single DB rollback should any service fail to execute properly and so undo all changes made so far.
CONS: highly coupled, non-visible components (via UDDI); impossibility to manage, control and audit (via WS Manager) components; weak/poor SOA Governance.
Approach B: all services are implemented as web services.
PROS: loosely coupled, self-contained, and web accessible visible components (via UDDI) besides the ease to manage, control and audit (via WS Manager); strong SOA Governance.
CONS: since each web service is a ‘different’ transaction with its own ‘commit’, a unique rollback transaction for the whole process will not be possible should a WS fail, for previous WSs will have already committed their data changes before doing the rollback.
Approach C: services implemented as a mix of web services and DB Adapters.
PROS: those of Approach B for web services.
CONS: those of Approach A (DB adapters) + those of Approach B (web services).
<hr />
So, the 64,000 dollar question is how to attain a single transaction when you have web services as part of your process? Do we need to ’build/create’ a schema/functionality similar to the ‘DB-undo-segment’ in order to obtain a single rollback transaction for the whole process or does the BPEL COMPENSATE delivers this functionality somehow?
Are we not seeing the obvious? Are we not seeing the forest because we’re looking at a tree? Please keep in mind that we are using Oracle BPEL.
Thanks a bunch,

Hi Marinus,
you are absolutely right and not missing anything. OWSM does not free you from taking additional measures to block direct interaction with the unsecure WebService from not "authorized" clients. You must restrict the http response to the OWSM host only (either in the Apache or the OC4J configuration). See the related documentation.

BPEL process as web service data control

Hi,
I am trying to invoke a synchronous BPEL process from a jspx page. I have configured my BPEL process as web service data control object and
dropped it on my jspx as a button. But after dropping it as a button i observe that it is expecting three parameters.
I have attached the .xsd file used in the BPEL process and the screen shot of the parameter window of JDEV.
Here if you can see, i have a heirarchy of data. I have customerType which has orderType , which further has lineType.
Can somebody help me , how do i provide data to this process i.e in the parameter fields., so that it is in accordance with my .xsd of the BPEL process.
-thanks,
lavanya.

Hi,
I am trying to invoke the HelloWorld BPEL process from Oracle DB using the demo_soap package downloaded from oracle.com.
Find the PL/SQL block below:
DECLARE
req Demo_Soap.request;
resp Demo_Soap.response;
zipcode VARCHAR2(100) := 'Suresh';
BEGIN
req := Demo_Soap.new_request('initiate',
'xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/HelloWorld"');
Demo_Soap.add_parameter(req, 'HelloWorldProcessRequest', 'xsd:string', zipcode);
resp := Demo_Soap.invoke(req,
'http://nooslux037t.gl.2wglobal.com:7777/BPELConsole/Dev/displayProcess.jsp?processId=HelloWorld',
'http://xmlns.oracle.com/HelloWorld');
END;
Please help me in knowing what value i should pass for the
1. New_request procedure
2. Add_parameter procedure
3. Invoke procedure.
The HelloWorld is same as the example in the BPEL Tutorial Session 1.
Thanks for your time.

I am trying to set this map data using java code ,
 HashMap procADMap1 = new HashMap(5);
 PropertyTypeWS pType = new PropertyTypeWS();
 pType.setTypeIndex(2);
 AppdataDefImplWS appData1 = new AppdataDefImplWS();
 appData1.setName("Project");
 appData1.setType(pType);
 appData1.setMaxSize(400);
 appData1.setLOB(false);
 appData1.setDefaultValue("Project Default value");
 procADMap1.put(appData1.getName(), appData1);
 setVariableData("request","createNs","/createNs/namespaceData/appdataDef",procADMap1);
Then I am passing request object to the method which I want to invoke from bpel process.
I am able to deploy the application but when I do post message I am getting following exception,
NamespaceWithMap (createNamespace) (faulted)

Is there any other way to handle Map type in bpel process?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the quick reply.Actually the web service is already deployed on the server.What I want to do is use existing wsdl file of the deployed web service and invoke the method of the same using oracle PM.
If I remove element which uses apachesoap:Map type it just works fine also I am getting the complex object returned by the web service method.But when I try to set appDataDef which is of type apachesoap:Map(Axis conversion for java.util.Map and it uses namespace xmlns:apachesoap="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap") I am getting the error.
Can you give me some direction to use this exising wsdl file to set map object or it is not possible.

About map a bpel process to web service?

hi:
Which activity in bpel should be exposed as a service to invoker?I always think they are receive and onMessage.But,in oracle PM,it looks not so.In oracle PM a asyn process exposed two services,one init the instance(begin receive),one is calback.To my understanding,the callback service should implement by invoker,why not so?
thanks

Start GP Process using web services

Hi,
I am trying to start a GP process from a Java EJB project using WSDL created by GP component for a particular template. I have created the deployable client proxy from the WSDL and added the reference in the EJB project.
Any idea how to use different proxy classes within the EJB project to start the process.
Thanks

How to invoke a short lived process using web service start point?

I have a custom short-lived process that does not take any input parameter. I am able to successfully invoke the process from LiveCycle Workbench ES2. I want this process to be invoked by a java client through a web service call. Apart from the web service URL of my process (which looks like
http://<server>:<portno>/soap/services/MyApplication/MyProcess?wsdl&lc_version=9.0.0&versi on=1.0) do the java client know anything else? Any authentication is required?
My intention is to just find out what all the consumer of this process needs to know to invoke it through a web service call.
Was anybody able to test a short-lived process through a web service invocation from SoapUI?

I am not a programmer but I did find this article on he Developers Resource site that might lead you in th eright direction:

Sancho,
Thanks for the prompt reply. We trying to automate the following process:-
1. The user select multiple documents from a folder in a library that contains all released documents.
2. He then locks the documents.
3. Selects the locked documents and copies it to a folder in the personal library.
We are trying to lock and copy the documents as a 1 step process, because its difficult for the users to select all of the documents locked earlier and then copy it the personal library.
We are trying to take the folder name as the user parameter, when the files are locked, so that the process and create the lock the files, create the folder and copy the files in this folder.
Thanks again for your time and help.

Invoking deployed bpel process using WLST

Hi All,
Am new to WLST. So please tolerate with me if i am asking the obvious
I read through the forums and have successfully deployed a BPEL process using WLST as given below
ant -f ant-sca-deploy.xml -DserverURL=http://localhost:8001 -DsarLocation=C:\oracle\Middleware\PS3\Oracle_SOA1\bin\sca_esd9_jca_bpel1.1_ccgd_trn_ob_rev1.jar -Doverwrite=true -Duser=weblogic -Dpassword=welcome1 -DforceDefault=true
And i have also tried un deploying and it works fine.
But, the problem is, i want to invoke the deployed BPEL process either by accessing the WSDL URL (http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/esd9_jca_bpel1.1_ccgd_trn_ob/bpelprocess1_client_ep?WSDL) or by any other means using WLST. I have to send an input to this deployed process.
I have googled it and have found ways to invoke a web service using JAVA or VBS. But is it possible to do it through WLST?
Thanks in advance.

Sancho,
Thanks for the prompt reply. We trying to automate the following process:-
1. The user select multiple documents from a folder in a library that contains all released documents.
2. He then locks the documents.
3. Selects the locked documents and copies it to a folder in the personal library.
We are trying to lock and copy the documents as a 1 step process, because its difficult for the users to select all of the documents locked earlier and then copy it the personal library.
We are trying to take the folder name as the user parameter, when the files are locked, so that the process and create the lock the files, create the folder and copy the files in this folder.
Thanks again for your time and help.

How to Upload a File in Bpel Process using JSP

I am trying to upload file in bpel process using front end as a Jsp.
i create the jsp page and i am able to pass the value from jsp to bpel process.
In bpel process i don't know how to pass or assign the specified file name into file adapter for reading the files.
Please help me...
Saravanan

You don't assign the url of the file to it.
To either get the data from the file into the bpel process you could use the url-parameter together with the ora:readFile function....or you could let your web-application upload the file to some location on the server...and on this location you could use the file-adapter together with the polling, to start your bpel process.

Invoke BPEL process using a java client - NullPointer Exception

Hi, We are trying to call a BPEL process using a java client from our Web Application. For some reason the BPEL engine just logs a NullPointerException and exits.
The same SOAP request when through SOAP UI tool works great.
Any help in resolving this is highly appreciated!

Hi,
Please ensure that you include the SOAP Header "SOAPAction" in your request. Most importantly, the value for that should be enclosed within double quotes.
For eg;
req.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", '"process"');

RequestTimeoutException error while invoking a BPEL process using RMI

Hi,
I am getting RequestTimeoutException error while invoking a BPEL process using this code:
Locator locator = LocatorFactory.createLocator(jndiProps);
String compositeDN = "default/"+processName+"!1.0";
Composite composite = locator.lookupComposite(compositeDN);
String serviceName = "client";
Service deliveryService = composite.getService(serviceName);
NormalizedMessage nm = new NormalizedMessageImpl();
nm.getPayload().put("payload", requestXml);
NormalizedMessage res = deliveryService.request("process", nm);
responseMap = res.getPayload();
The error stack trace is
weblogic.rmi.extensions.RequestTimeoutException: RJVM response from 'weblogic.rjvm.RJVMImpl@604f2d14 - id: '-361032376059206

        at com.gss.common.bo.BpelUtil.invokeBPELProcess(BpelUtil.java:81)
To add to it the BPEL process is executing successfuly and RMI call timeout is happening.
Can I know how to increase the related timeout value?

Have got the same problem. Scenario at my end is little different though.
I am trying to invoke a BPEL process from an ESB Service.
I am trying to look into it..
However, would be grateful, if someone can give some insight into this since many are running into this issue without being able to fix.
Ashish.

Error While Deploying the BPEL Process using obant script

Hi All,
I am getting the following error while deploying the BPEL Process using obant script. we are using the BPEL Version 10.1.2.0.2.Any information in this regard will be really helpful.
Buildfile: build.xml
main:
[bpelc] file:/home5102/dibyap/saravana/Test/CreditRatingService.wsdl
[bpelc] validating "/home5102/dibyap/saravana/Test/CreditRatingService.bpel" ...
BUILD FAILED
/home5102/dibyap/saravana/Test/build.xml:15: ORABPEL-01002
Domain directory not found.
The process cannot be deployed to domain "default" because the domain directory "/opt02/app/ESIT/oracle/esit10gR2iAS/BPEL10gR2/iAS/integration/orabpel/domains/default/deploy" cannot be found or cannot b

Please check your -deploy option value; "default" must refer to a domain that has been installed locally on your machine.

Thanks,
Saravana

In 10.1.2.0.2 you need to create your own build.xml
I have found an example, it may be of some help. This does call a property file
