1. Introduction
This document provides step by step instructions for creating Oracle Service Bus (OSB) configuration to update and retrieve application data residing in a database. In the first use case OSB Business Service, with JCA (DB) transport protocol, performs database operations such as select, insert, update, delete, invoking a stored procedure, or executing any custom SQL against the database. Hence, OSB acts as a proxy between the client that needs to perform database operations and the database. Client invokes the proxy service, which uses Route, Service Callout, or Publish to invoke the JCA business service.

In the second use case OSB Proxy Service, with JCA (DB) transport protocol, polls a database table for new or changed records. Hence, OSB acts as a proxy between the database and the backend service that intends to receive changes from the database. Proxy service polls for database table changes. Proxy service then uses Route, Service Callout, or Publish to propagate the changes to the backend service.

4. High level Steps

Use case 1 DB Business Service performing database operations on behalf of the client. Specifically, the DB Business Service we implement will insert Customer records into the Customer table. 1. Generate WSDL representing database operations, and the Toplink file representing object relational mapping 2. Create Business Service in OSB to invoke database operations using a. Service Type = WSDL Web Service (using the WSDL from step 1) b. Transport Protocol = jca c. Connection Mode = Non-Managed 3. Test the business service with Connection Mode as Non-Managed (Connection Mode is configured in the JCA Transport specific properties). 4. Test the business service with Connection Mode as Managed 5. Create Proxy service to expose to client. This step is only for use-case completeness, as such, it is not described in this document. Use case 2 DB Proxy Service polling database changes and propagating changes to the backend service. Specifically, the DB Proxy Service we implement will poll the Customer table for new/changed Customer records and logs received records to the server console. 1. Generate WSDL representing the database (poll) operation, and the Toplink file representing object relational mapping 2. Create Proxy Service in OSB to poll the database table using a. Service Type = WSDL Web Service (using the WSDL from step 1) b. Transport Protocol = jca c. Connection Mode = Managed d. Implement proxy services message flow 3. Deploy the proxy service and test

Page 20 of 48

NOTE: If you did not replace DBAdapter.jar in JDeveloper with the DBAdapter.jar from OSB, the imported WSDL has an error. You can fix this by deleting the DatabaseOutboundSelect operation and its corresponding entry under <binding>. See step 3 of Pre-requisites. If you run into the above error, fix the error as detailed earlier. e. Next, on the business service select the WSDL port from the WSDL that is already imported into the workspace.

Page 20 Oracle Corporation - PROPRIETARY Use pursuant to Company Instructions

Page 21 of 48 f. You will notice the Transport Protocol defaults to jca and Endpoint URI points to the JNDI name specified in JDeveloper during Database Adapter configuration (See figure below).

NOTE: The JNDI name is used by the business service to look up the connection factory if the Connection mode is Managed.

Figure 1: Transport configuration 4. Configure JCA Transport specific configuration on Business Service a. Leave all properties as default except i. Connection Mode: Non-Managed NOTE: Setting Connection Mode to Non-Managed helps quickly testing the business service. In this mode, connection information can be specified in two ways: One, in the WSDL. This is the case when the property Always use configuration from JCA WSDL is checked. Two, in the JCA Transport specific properties, - Connection Factory Properties & Connection Factory Authentication Properties. In this example, we use the connection information present in the WSDL. NOTE: In production, it is recommended to use Connection Mode as Managed.

ii. Specify Toplink file 1. You will notice an error message shown below for the Toplink file Page 21 Oracle Corporation - PROPRIETARY Use pursuant to Company Instructions 10/15/01

Page 22 of 48 2. Toplink File property -> Click Browse and select the top link mappings xml file (DatabaseOutbound_toplink_mappings.xml).

Figure 5: Row inserted in the database Before we move to the next step to test the business service in Managed mode we must create the Data Source and the Connection Factory using WLS Console.

5.4 WLS Console Configuration

In the previous section, you used the Connection Mode as Non-Managed to quickly test the business service. In the Non-Managed mode, connection information in the WSDL is used. In production, it is recommended to use the Managed Connection Mode. In the Managed mode, connection information from the connection factory defined in WLS is used. Endpoint URI of the business service is the JNDI Name of the connection factory defined in WLS. This section provides step by step information on configuring the Data Source and the Connection Factory using WLS Console.

6. Click Save and log out of WLS Console

6.3 Deploy and test OSB Proxy Service

1. From the Servers tab republish the application

2. Once published the status for the server is updated to Synchronized

3. You must see the following log on the server console. The two records created in the Customer table by executing the business service (DatabaseOutbound) in earlier sections will be picked up by the proxy service and logged. <Apr 25, 2009 12:47:39 PM PDT> <Info> <ALSB Logging> <BEA-000000> < [PipelinePairNode1, PipelinePairNode1_request, stage1, REQUEST] <soapenv:Body xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <dat:CustomerCollection xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchemainstance xmlns:dat="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/db/top/DatabaseInboun d"> Page 47 Oracle Corporation - PROPRIETARY Use pursuant to Company Instructions 10/15/01

You can execute the business service (DatabaseOutbound) created earlier multiple times. This will create multiple records in the Customer table. The proxy service (DatabaseInbound) will pick up these records at 5 second intervals and log them to the server console. Each XML document received by the proxy service will contain maximum of 5 records as we set the number of rows per XML Document to 5 during DatabaseInbound adapter configuration in JDeveloper. NOTE: The db adapter uses one thread (The activation spec property, NumberOfThreads, is set to 1 by default) to poll the database. This thread is never released to the pool and hence appears as being stuck to the work manager which can result in stack trace in the system out and server log like the following: ####<Jun 9, 2009 8:13:08 AM CDT> <Error> <WebLogicServer> <jbayer-lap> <xbusServer> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '21' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <> <1244553188484> <BEA-000337> <[STUCK] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' has been busy for "610" seconds working on the request "weblogic.work.SelfTuningWorkManagerImpl$WorkAdapterImpl@3a11b5c", which is more than the configured time (StuckThreadMaxTime) of "600" seconds.
