Deploying SOA Composite Applications to Oracle SOA Cloud Service

Purpose

This tutorial shows you how to deploy a composite application as a SOA archive (SAR) file to Oracle SOA Cloud Service by using the Oracle Fusion Middleware Control Console.

Time to Complete

45 minutes

Background

Oracle SOA Cloud Service provides a complete set of service infrastructure components for designing, managing, and deploying composite and service bus applications to the cloud.

You can save time, money, and work more efficiently by using the wide variety of features in Oracle SOA Cloud Service to:

• Design SOA composite applications.
• Create test environments for all your applications.
• Monitor and manage your application environment.

Using this tutorial, you can learn how to deploy a SOA application to Oracle SOA Cloud Service. Because this cloud service uses the same Oracle SOA software that you use for your on-premises applications, you can use the same tools in the cloud.

What Do You Need?

• A subscription or trial subscription to Oracle SOA Cloud Service
• Oracle SOA Quick Start for Developers
• Valid credentials for Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control Console
• Basic knowledge of Oracle SOA Suite

1. Open a terminal window. Create the mywork directory by executing the following command: mkdir mywork

2. Download the helloWorld.zip file, which contains the SOA sample application, and unzip the file.

Deploying a SAR File to Oracle SOA Cloud Service

1. Sign in to your Oracle Cloud Account.

   

2. From your My Services Dashboard, expand the Action Menu for the SOA instance and click Open Service Console.

   

3. Expand the Menu of the SOA Cloud Service instance that you want to use and click Open Fusion Middleware Control Console.

   

4. Enter the user name and password that you set when you created your instance.

5. In the Target Navigation pane, expand SOA, right-click soa-infra, and click SOA Deployment > Deploy.

   

   The Deploy SOA Composite page appears.

6. In the Deploy SOA Composite page, click Browse.

   

7. In the File Upload dialog, go to mywork/SOACSdemo/SayHello/deploy, click the sca_SayHello_rev1.0.jar file, and click Open.

   

8. In the Select Archive page, click Next.

   

9. In the Select Target page, select the default SOA partition, and click Next.

   

10. In the Confirmation page, click Deploy.

    

    The summary page appears. Click Close.

    

Testing an Application in Oracle SOA Cloud Service

2. Click the Deployed Composites tab, and click sca_SayHello_rev1.0.jar.

   

3. Click Test.

   

4. On the Test Web Service page, click the Request tab, expand payload, enter Cloud World in the text field, and then click Test Web Service.

   

5. Click the Response tab, and verify that the response displays the words you entered.

   

1. In the Target Navigation pane from your Oracle SOA Cloud Service, expand SOA > soa-infra. Right-click soa-infra and select Home > Flow Instances.

   

2. On the Flow Instances tab, click Recent Instances.

   

3. On the Search Results table, click the number under the Flow ID column.
