Use a JCA 1.5 Adapter with BPEL

Question

We have a JCA 1.5 adapter working with OC4J 10.1.3. Has someone an example how to use a JCA 1.5 adapter with the WSIF JCA binding in BPEL ?

Hi Manfred,
If you download the Oracle BPEL Process Manager preview on OTN, it contains 4 tutorial directories
  121.FileAdapter
  122.DBAdapter
  123.JmsAdapter
  124.AQAdapter
which demonstrates how to define a JCA interaction (or activation) using WSDL (based on WSIF).
The JCA connection information is encapsulated in a J2C deployed connection factory, and referenced in the WSDL Service section, for example
<service name="ReadFile">
  <port name="Read_pt" binding="tns:Read_binding">
    <jca:address adapterInstanceJndi="eis/FileAdapter"/>
The JCA interaction properties are captured in the WSDL Binding Operation element, for example (inbound)
<binding name="Read_binding" type="tns:Read_ptt">
  <pc:inbound_binding />
  <operation name="Read">
    <jca:operation ActivationSpec=
    "oracle.tip.adapter.file.inbound.FileActivationSpec"
       PhysicalDirectory="C:\tmp"
       IncludeFiles=".+\.xml"
Outbound example:
<binding name="Write_binding" type="tns:Write_ptt">
  <jca:binding />
  <operation name="Write">
    <jca:operation InteractionSpec=
    "oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileInteractionSpec"
       PhysicalDirectory="C:\out"
       FileNamingConvention="out_%TIME%.xml"
You can also browse at the tutorial directories to discover some more example.
Hope this helps.
