6 Integration With BPM Service Components in the Oracle SOA Suite

Oracle Application Adapter for J.D. Edwards OneWorld integrates seamlessly with Oracle Business Process Management (BPM) to facilitate Web service integration. Oracle BPM is based on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). It consumes adapter services exposed as Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) documents.

This chapter contains the following topics:

Overview

To integrate with Oracle BPM, Oracle Application Adapter for J.D. Edwards OneWorld must be deployed in the same WLS container as Oracle BPM. The underlying adapter services must be exposed as WSDL files, which are generated during design time in Oracle Adapter Application Explorer (Application Explorer) for both request-response (outbound) and event notification (inbound) services of the adapter. For more information, see "Generating WSDL (J2CA Configurations Only)".

The generated WSDL files are used to design the appropriate BPM processes for inbound or outbound adapter services. A completed BPM process must be successfully compiled in JDeveloper and deployed to a BPM server. Upon deployment to the BPM server, every newly built process is automatically deployed to the Oracle Enterprise Manager console, where you run, monitor, and administer BPM processes, and listen to adapter events.

Deployment of Adapter

During installation, Oracle Application Adapter for J.D. Edwards OneWorld is deployed as a J2CA 1.0 resource adapter within the WLS container. The adapter must be deployed in the same WLS container as Oracle BPM.

Configuring a New Application Server Connection

For more information on how to configure a new Application Server connection in Oracle JDeveloper, see Configuring a New Application Server Connection.

Designing an Outbound BPM Process Using Transformations for Service Integration

The following tools are required to complete your outbound design-time configuration:


Note:

The examples in this chapter demonstrate the use of JDeveloper.

Before you design a BPM process, you must generate the respective WSDL file using Application Explorer. For more information, see "Generating WSDL for Request/Response Service".

Samples have been provided for this use case scenario under the etc/sample folder of the Application Adapters installation.
