uBike Tuxedo Overview
Background
The back end of the uBike application is written in C++ on the Tuxedo platform. The system emulates a bicycle inventory application that provides a search capability using business logic that is contained within Tuxedo services.
Tuxedo Service
The searchBike service is defined and its service contract information is stored in the Tuxedo metadata repository, then that data is used to generate WSDL artifacts to provide loosely-coupled access to the service through the SALT SOAP gateway, which automatically converts Web service SOAP and XML payloads to and from the parameter types of the corresponding Tuxedo service.
uBike Tuxedo Services
The Tuxedo services implemented for the uBike application are described in the table below:
Service Name |

Search for bicycle records based on COLOR field |
uBike Inventory Database Implementation
The uBike inventory database is not using a real database. It is implemented as an in-memory data set so it can be manipulated in memory. When the uBikeSCASvr server starts, then it will generate a new list of 100 bicycles using random data. To reset the database, simply restart the uBikeSCASvr server again.
uBike Bicycle Inventory Data
The inventory of bicycles contained in the uBike database comprises the following data:
The SERIALNO field is the primary ID key for the bicycle record. Its uniqueness is generated and managed by the uBike services.
All bicycles come in the following colors: YELLOW, ORANGE, RED, GREEN, BLUE, WHITE, BLACK, SILVER
TYPE 'M' bicycles are considered mountain bikes, and come in a size range of 14-21" in 1" increments.
TYPE 'R' bicycles are considered road bikes, and come in a size range of 46-60cm in 2cm increments.
Bicycles that have an ORDERDATE of >= 7 days are considered INSTOCK=Y; otherwise, INSTOCK=N.
