Design an SOA Composite for Oracle B2B

You can easily create an SOA composite using a B2B service, a Mediator component, and a BPEL process service component.

You must install a database and configure it with the Oracle SOA Suite schema before creating an application server connection and deploying an SOA composite application. See Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle SOA Suite for more information.

Create an Application and Project: Use the Create SOA Application wizard to create an application and a project.

Add a B2B Service: Add a B2B service to receive the inbound message.

Add a Mediator Component: Use the Create Mediator dialog to create a Mediator service component for routing data through the SOA composite application.

Connect the Components: Connect the B2B service, the Mediator component, and the BPEL process.

Pass the Payload: Use the Routing Rules panel, Request Transformation Map dialog, and XSLT Mapper to create a transformation mapper file that maps the message (payload) contents from the source web service WSDL file to the target BPEL process WSDL file.

Deploy the Application: Deploy the application to the application server in which you created the connection.

Create an Application and a Project

1. Open the Create Application wizard [ file > new > SOA application] .
2. In the Application Name field, enter myB2Bapplication.
3. Select SOA Application in the Applica tion Template list, and click Next .
4. In the Project Name field, enter myB2Bcomposite, and click Next .
5. In the Composi te Template list, select Composite With BPEL, and click Finish .
6. In the Create BPEL Process dialog, enter emptyBPEL in the Name field.
7. From the Template list, select One Way BPEL Process.
8. Deselect the E xpose as a SOAP Service checkbox.
9. Click OK. The BPEL Process Designer appears.
10. Close the BPEL Process Designer.
    

    In the IDE

    After you create your application and project, the Application Navigator and SOA Composite Editor should look like this:  [ tell me more...]

    
    
    

Add a B2B Service

1. In the Component Palette, select SOA from the dropdown list.
2. Select the B2B service adapter, and drag it into the Exposed Services column of the SOA Composite Editor.
3. On the B2B Configuration Wizard Welcome page, click Next .
4. Enter B2B_Receive in the Service Name field, and click Next .
5. Select Default for the B2B integration type, and click Next .
6. Select myConnection in the AppServer Connection list, and click Next .
7. Select Receive for the inbound message (service), and click Next .
8. Use the Import Schema from B2B option displayed on the Basic tab, and click Next .
9. Select the document definition for the service, 850def, and click Next .
   

    Selecting Document Definition Handling Options

   To find the 850def document definition, expand EDI_X12, then 4010, and then 850. Or you can click B2B Configuration to create a document definition in Oracle B2B.  [ tell me more...]

Add a Mediator Service Component

1. In the Component Palette, select the Mediator component and drag it into the Components section of the SOA Composite Editor.
2. In the Create Mediator dialog, enter B2B2BPEL in the Name field.
3. Select Define Interface Later from the Template dropdown list, and click OK.
4. Click   Save All.

Connect the Components

1. Select the arrow on the right side of the B2B service.
2. Drag the arrow to the arrow on the left side of the B2B2BPEL Mediator service.
3. Select the triangle on the right side of the B2B2BPEL Mediator service.
4. Drag the triangle to the arrow on the left side of the emptyBPEL BPEL process.

   After you connect the B2B service, Mediator service component, and BPEL process component, the SOA Composite Editor looks like this:  [ tell me more...]

   
   
   

Pass the Payload

1. In the SOA Composite Editor, double-click the B2B2BPEL Mediator component.
2. Click next to the Transform Using field.
3. In the Request Transformation Map dialog, select Create New Mapper File .
4. Accept the default name in the Create New Mapper File field, and click OK.
5. In the XSLT Mapper, drag the ns1:Transaction-850 node in the source panel to the client:input node in the target panel.
6. Click Save All.
7. Close the XSLT Mapper.
8. Close the B2B2BPEL Mediator component.
   

    In the IDE

   Once created, the Transaction-850_To_process.xsl file in the xsl folder of the Application Navigator should look like this:  [ tell me more...]

   
   
   

Deploy the Application

1. Right-click myB2Bcomposite, and select Deplo y m yB2Bcomposite .
2. On the Deployment Action step of the Deploy myB2Bcomposite wizard, select Deploy to Application Server, and click Next .
3. On the Deploy Configuration step, accept the defaults, and click Next .
4. On the Select Server step, select myConnection, and click Next .
5. On the SOA Servers step, choose the target SOA server to which to deploy the archive, and click Finish .
6. In the Log window that appears at the bottom, click the SOA tab to display any SOA compilation errors. If deployment was successful, the words BUILD SUCCESSFUL display at the bottom.
7. Click the Deployment tab to display any generic deployment errors.
8. Click the Messages tab to display any generic deployment errors. If deployment was successful, the words Successfully deployed archive are displayed in the log.
9. Click Save All.
   

    In the IDE

   If deployment was successful, the message that displays in the SOA-Log window at the bottom of the designer should look like this:  [ tell me more...]
