3 Transport Configuration

This chapter describes how to configure transports on business and proxy services in the Oracle Service Bus IDE.

When you configure a business service or a proxy service, you must configure the transport used by the service. Each transport is configured on its own configuration page.

3.1 Protocol-Specific Transport Configuration Pages

Each transport available for business services and proxy services has its own configuration page. Oracle Service Bus provides the following transports:

3.1.1 BPEL-10g Transport Configuration Page (Business Services)

Use this page to configure transport settings for a business service using the BPEL-10g (Oracle BPEL Process Manager) transport protocol. For more information on using Oracle Service Bus with Oracle BPEL Process Manager, see Chapter 34, "Oracle BPEL Process Manager Transport (for use with Oracle SOA Suite 10g only)."

Table 3-1 BPEL-10g Transport Configuration Options for Business Services

Property Description

Role

The BPEL transport is used to send request messages from Oracle Service Bus to Oracle BPEL Process Manager. The business service can serve one of the following roles:

  • Synchronous Client

    For synchronous communication with an Oracle Service Bus client, the only location information that is required is the BPEL address. This address is captured statically as the endpoint URI and/or dynamically through URI rewriting.

  • Asynchronous Client

    For asynchronous communication with an Oracle Service Bus client, a callback from Oracle BPEL Process Manager to Oracle Service Bus is sent on a different connection than the request, and you must configure Oracle Service Bus to provide the correct callback address.

  • Service Callback

    If the business service is designed to be a service callback to Oracle BPEL Process Manager (where Oracle BPEL Process Manager is calling an external service through Oracle Service Bus), the callback address is known only at runtime. Use an Endpoint URI of bpel://callback.

    If you configure the business service with the marker URI, configure your pipeline logic to dynamically set the URI on $outbound; for example, using the TransportHeader action.

Note: A Service Callback business service does not support load balancing or failover.

Callback Proxy

This optional field is available only for the Asynchronous Client role. This field lets you select the proxy service (must be either an SB or HTTP proxy of type Any SOAP) that will be used to route callbacks to the Oracle Service Bus client that made the request.

Service Account

For JNDI context security, used to access the Oracle BPEL Process Manager delivery service. Click Browse and select a service account. If no service account is specified, an anonymous subject is used.

There is no restriction on the type of service account that can be configured, such as static or pass-through, but the runtime must be able to access a user name and password.

Suspend Transaction

Selecting Suspend Transaction makes the business service non-transactional even if the business service is invoked by a transaction.

If you do not select Suspend Transaction:

  • If the protocol indicates an Oracle WebLogic Server-supported protocol (t3, iiop, http), the transaction is propagated.

  • If the protocol indicates an OC4J server (ormi, opmn), the BPEL transport throws an exception, since OC4J does not support transaction propagation.

The BPEL transport ignores the Suspend Transaction option in the following situations:

  • The business service is called with quality of service (QoS) "best-effort." The BPEL transport automatically suspends any transaction that does not support QoS.

  • The business service is called with QoS set to "exactly-once" and there is no transaction.

Dispatch Policy

Select the instance of Oracle WebLogic Server Work Manager that you want to use for the dispatch policy for this endpoint. The default Work Manager is used if no other Work Manager exists.

For information about Work Managers, see:

3.1.2 DSP Transport Configuration Page (Business Services)

Use this page to configure transport settings for a business service using the DSP (Oracle Data Service Integrator) transport protocol. For more information on accessing Oracle Data Service Integrator from Oracle Service Bus, see Chapter 36, "DSP and Oracle Data Service Integrator Transport."

Table 3-2 DSP Transport Configuration Options for Business Services

Option To create or edit...

Debug Level

Specify one of the following

  • 0 - for no debug information

  • 1 - to output information on the request message

  • 3 - to output information on the request and the response message

Service Account

Click Browse and select a service account from the list displayed. If no service account is specified, an anonymous subject is used.

Dispatch Policy

Select the instance of Oracle WebLogic Server Work Manager that you want to use for the dispatch policy for this endpoint. The default Work Manager is used if no other Work Manager exists.

The Work Manager is used to post the reply message for response processing.

For information about Work Managers, see:

3.1.3 EJB Transport Configuration Page (Business Services)

Use this page to configure transport settings for a business service using the EJB transport protocol.

For more information on the EJB transport, see Chapter 28, "EJB Transport."

Table 3-3 EJB Transport Configuration Options for Business Services

Option To create or edit...

Pass Caller's Subject

Select this check box to have Oracle Service Bus pass the authenticated subject from the proxy service when invoking the EJB and no service accounts are configured. The Service Account field is disabled when this option is selected.

Service Account

Click Browse and select a service account from the list displayed. If no service account is specified, an anonymous subject is used. This option is not available if you use the Pass Caller's Subject option.

Supports Transaction

Select this check box to specify transaction support.

Client Jar

Click Browse and select an EJB client JAR resource from the list displayed.

Converter Jar

Click Browse and select an EJB converter class JAR resource from the list displayed.

Home Interface

EJB 2.1 only – Select the required EJBHome interface from the options populated by the JAR. The JNDI name in this URI sample must be associated with the EJBHome interface you select here. If the EJB is not of the required type or an EJBHome interface is not specified in the client-jar, Oracle Service Bus displays a warning.

Remote Interface

EJB 2.1 only – This field is automatically populated depending on the configuration of the Home Interface.

Business Interface

EJB 3.0 only – Select the business interface in the client JAR that you want to invoke.

Target Namespace

This field is populated by information picked up from the JAR.

Style

Select Document Wrapped or RPC according to your requirements. If two or more methods of your stateless session EJB have the same number and data type of parameters, and you want the operations to be document-oriented, you must specify that they be document-wrapped.

The style is important because when routing or publishing to the EJB, $body must have content that matches the style. Also when calling out to an EJB, the style affects the parameter contents, especially for document wrapped. Secondly one usage pattern is to define an EJB business service and then create a proxy service with the same WSDL that routes to the EJB. In this case care must be taken on the style of the WSDL because the client tool used to invoke the proxy might have limitations on the style of the WSDL.

Encoding

Select Encoded or Literal.

Methods

The methods displayed are those of the EJB remote or business interface you selected. Select the required methods (you can select multiple methods). Click + to expand the method. Edit the default parameter values and select a converter if provided (or required).

You must exclude the methods with parameters or return types that are not supported by the JAX-RPC stack or you must associate such arguments with converter classes.

You can change the default operation name for a given method. (By default, the operation name is the method name.) If an EJB contains methods with same name, you must change the operation names so that they are unique—WSDLs require unique operation names.

Note: If the credentials or transaction settings are different between the methods for a given EJB, you can customize the methods for a given business service, and create a business service per method. This gives you fine-grained control over transactions and credentials.

Exceptions

This field appears if a method throws a business exception. If an EJB method throws an exception that has data types not supported by Java Web Services (JWS), such as an ArrayList, use the Exceptions field to select a converter class that converts the exception to a type supported by JWS.

Your converter class must implement com.bea.wli.sb.transports.ejb.ITypeConverter. Converter classes can only be configured for checked exceptions and not for runtime exceptions.

Package the converter class and the converted exception class in the client or converter JAR.

For more information, see "EJB Transport" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1009.

Option To create or edit...

Read Timeout

Enter the read timeout interval in seconds.

A zero (0) value indicates no timeout.

Connection Timeout

Enter the connection timeout interval in seconds. If the timeout expires before the connection can be established, Oracle Service Bus raises a connection error.

A zero (0) value indicates no timeout.

HTTP Request Method

This parameter lets you to use one of the following HTTP methods in a request:

  • POST – Passes all its data, of unlimited length, directly over the socket connection as part of its HTTP request body. The exchange is invisible to the client, and the URL does not change. For REST-based requests, POST tells the transport to perform a create/replace operation or perform an action with the request.

  • GET – You can include as part of the request some of its own information that better describes what to get. This information is passed as a sequence of characters appended to the request URL in a query string. You can use GET in a business service with a Service Type of "Any XML Service," or with a Service Type of "Messaging Service" when the Request Message Type is set to "None." For REST-based requests, GET retrieves a representation of a remote resource.

  • PUT – You can use PUT in a business service with a Service Type of "Any XML Service" or "Messaging Service." PUT tells the transport to perform a create/replace operation with a REST-based request, such as uploading a file to a known location.

  • HEAD – You can use HEAD in a business service with a Service Type of "Any XML Service," or with a Service Type of "Messaging Service" when the Response Message Type is set to "None." HEAD tells the transport to get header information for a remote resource rather than getting a full representation of the resource in a REST-based request.

  • DELETE – You can use DELETE in a business service with a Service Type of "Any XML Service" or "Messaging Service." DELETE tells the transport to perform a delete operation with a REST-based request.

Note: If a method is already set in the $outbound/transport/request/http:http-method variable, that value takes precedence over any method you select for HTTP Request Method.

Authentication

Select one of the following:

  • None - Specifies that authentication is not required to access this service.

  • Basic - Specifies that basic authentication is required to access this service.

    Basic authentication instructs Oracle WebLogic Server to authenticate the client using a user name and password against the authentication providers configured in the security realm, such as a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory service and Windows Active Directory. The client must send its user name and password on the HTTP request header.

    Basic authentication is strongly discouraged over HTTP because the password is sent in clear text. However, it is safe to send passwords over HTTPS because HTTPS provides an encrypted channel.

    Warning: By default, all users (authorized and anonymous) can access a business service. To limit the users who can access a business service, create a transport-level authorization policy. See "Editing Transport-Level Access Policies" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBAG1208.

    Client Certificate - Specifies encrypted communication and strong client authentication (two-way SSL). To use this option, all endpoint URIs in the service definition must be HTTPS. To learn more, see "Configuring Transport-Level Security" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1557.

Service Account

Enter a service account. A service account is an alias resource for a user name and password. This is a required field if you selected the Basic Authentication Required field.

Dispatch Policy

Select the instance of Oracle WebLogic Server Work Manager that you want to use for the dispatch policy for this endpoint. The default Work Manager is used if no other Work Manager exists.

For information about Work Managers, see:

Request Encoding

Accept the default iso-8859-1 as the character set encoding for requests in HTTP transports, or enter a different character set encoding.

Response Encoding

Accept the default iso-8859-1 as the character set encoding for responses in HTTP transports, or enter a different character set encoding.

Proxy Server

Enter a proxy server resource or click Browse to choose an entry from the list of configured proxy server resources.

Follow HTTP redirects

Select this check box to specify that HTTP redirects (which are requests with a response code 3xx) should be automatically followed. A redirect occurs when you send an outbound request to the URL of a business service, and that service returns a response code (for example, 302) that says the URL is no longer valid and this request needs to be sent to another URL. If you select the Follow HTTP Redirects check box, Oracle Service Bus automatically re-sends the request to the new URL without any action on your part. Clear this check box if you do not want the HTTP redirects to be automatically followed.

Use Chunked Streaming Mode

Select this option to use HTTP chunked transfer encoding to send messages.

Note: Do not use chunked streaming with if you use the Follow HTTP Redirects option. Redirection and authentication cannot be handled automatically in chunked mode.

Session Stickiness

Select this option to use session stickiness (also known as session affinity) for HTTP requests for the business service. For more information, see "HTTP Session Stickiness" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV948.

Sticky sessionID Name

If Session Stickiness is enabled, enter a unique identifying name for the sticky session.

HTTPS required

Select this check box for inbound HTTPS endpoints.

To learn more, see "Configuring Transport-Level Security" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1557.

Authentication

Select one of the following:

  • None - Specifies that authentication is not required.

  • Basic - Specifies that basic authentication is required to access this service.

    Basic authentication instructs Oracle WebLogic Server to authenticate the client using a user name and password against the authentication providers configured in the security realm, such as a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory service and Windows Active Directory. The client must send its user name and password on the HTTP request header.

    Basic authentication is strongly discouraged over HTTP because the password is sent in clear text. However, it is safe to send passwords over HTTPS because HTTPS provides an encrypted channel.

    Caution: By default, all users (authorized and anonymous) can access a proxy service. To limit the users who can access a proxy service, create a transport-level authorization policy. See "Editing Transport-Level Access Policies" under "Security Configuration" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBAG1176.

  • Client Certificate - Specifies encrypted communication and strong client authentication (two-way SSL). To learn more, see "Configuring Transport-Level Security" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1557.

  • Custom Authentication - Specifies that an authentication token is contained in an HTTP header. The client's identity is established through the use of this client-supplied token. You must configure an Identity Assertion provider that maps the token to an Oracle Service Bus user.

    The custom authentication token can be of any active token type supported by a configured Oracle WebLogic Server Identity Assertion provider.

Dispatch Policy

Select the instance of Oracle WebLogic Server Work Manager that you want to use for the dispatch policy for this endpoint. The default Work Manager is used if no other Work Manager exists.

For information about Work Managers, see:

Request Encoding

  • For HTTP inbound transports:

    If the character set encoding parameter of the Content-Type header is not specified in Client Request, enter a character set encoding parameter. If you do not enter a value, the field defaults to ISO-8859-1.

  • For HTTP outbound transports:

    If you have not configured a request encoding, the Oracle Service Bus runtime decides the most appropriate encoding while it makes a request to the business service. In the case of a non-passthrough scenario, the default character encoding is UTF-8 at runtime. However if it is a passthrough scenario, the runtime will pass through the encoding received with the outbound response.

Response Encoding

Accept the default ISO-8859-1 as the character set encoding for responses in HTTP transports, or enter a different character set encoding.

Authentication Header

Enter the HTTP header (any except Authorization) from which Oracle Service Bus is to extract the token. This field is available only if you selected the Custom Authentication check box.

For example, client-xyz-token.

Authentication Token Type

Select an authentication token type. Only the active token types configured for an Identity Assertion provider are available. This field is available only if you selected the Custom Authentication check box.

3.1.12 JCA Transport Configuration Page (Proxy and Business Services)

Table 3-12 JCA Transport Configuration Options

Option Description

JCA File

Click Browse to select a JCA resource. The JCA resource defines different aspects of the service, such as details about the adapter used, a binding to the WSDL and TopLink or EclipseLink mapping file, and the activation/interaction spec properties required by the service.

Once you select a valid JCA resource, the remaining transport configuration fields become available.

Adapter Name

A read-only value showing the name of the adapter that the JCA service will use.

Adapter Type

A read-only value showing the adapter type.

Dispatch Policy

Select the instance of Oracle WebLogic Server Work Manager that you want to use for the dispatch policy for this endpoint. The default Work Manager is used if no other Work Manager exists.

For information about Work Managers, see:

JNDI Service Account

JNDI Service Account is for JNDI context security, used to access the EIS adapter managed connection factory. Click Browse and select a service account. If no service account is specified, an anonymous subject is used.

For JCA business services, there is no restriction on the type of JNDI service account that can be configured, such as static or pass-through, but the runtime must be able to access a user name and password. JCA proxy services can use only static JNDI service accounts.

For more information on JNDI service accounts, see “Security” in the “JCA Transport” chapter of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV916.

EndPoint Properties

This field lets you assign values to endpoint properties such as retries for the type of adapter the service uses.

For a list of supported endpoint properties, see "Endpoint Properties in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1841.

Dynamic EndPoint Properties

This option lets you pass request parameters to JCA-compliant services. For example, you can use a dynamic endpoint property to pass database query parameters to the Oracle JCA Adapter for Database.

For more information on querying with parameters, see “Oracle JCA Adapter for Database” in the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Technology Adapters at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=TKADP2117.

Enter a name/value pair for each dynamic endpoint property you want to provide. The endpoint property key matches the query parameter name.

Use this section to add and configure endpoint properties for custom adapters.

Always use configuration from JCA file

This option determines whether or not Activation Spec Properties (proxy services) and Interaction Spec Properties (business services) are always used from the JCA file.

If this option is selected (default), the JCA transport interacts with the JCA framework using the activation/interaction spec properties in the JCA file.

If this option is not selected, you can override the Activation/Interaction Spec Properties.

For the redeployment impact of using this option, see “Endpoint Redeployment” in the “JCA Transport” chapter of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV940.

Operation Name

Displays a read-only name of the selected WSDL operation. An operation can have its own activation/interaction spec properties, shown in the Activation/Interaction Spec Properties field.

Activation/Interaction Spec Properties

Activation Spec Properties is the field name for proxy services; Interaction Spec Properties is the field name for business services.

If this service is an inbound service invoked by an EIS application, this field displays the activation spec properties for the JCA inbound operation shown in Operation Name field.

You can override the activation/interaction spec properties if you clear Always use configuration from JCA file.

Note: For Oracle Adapter Suite adapters, activation/interaction spec properties are displayed as read-only. The Oracle Adapter Suite adapters store their own configurations, which you must change in the Oracle Adapter Suite management tools.

Connection properties (legacy)

For legacy JCA services that use non-managed mode connection properties (deprecated in this release), see the connection configuration options at https://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/jcatransport/transport.html#wp1105451.

For more information on endpoint and activation/interaction spec properties, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Technology Adapters.

3.1.15 JMS Transport Configuration Page (Business Services)

Use this page to configure transport settings for a business service using the JMS transport protocol. For more information, see "JMS Transport" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1037.

Table 3-15 JMS Transport Configuration Options for Business Services

Option To create or edit...

Destination Type

Select a type for the JMS bridge destination:

  • Queue (for point-to-point)

  • Topic (for publish/subscribe)

Message Type

Select one of the following:

  • Bytes (for a stream of uninterpreted bytes)

  • Text (for text messages)

This option is disabled if you select a Message Type of Java for the response.

Response Queues

This option is available only when Queue is selected for the Destination Type.

Select one of the following response options:

  • None – No response is expected. Set this option for one-way operations.

  • One for all Request URIs – Lets you enter a single URI to handle the response, as well as set other response configuration details such as encoding and timeout, and optionally select a JMS Service Account for passing JMS/JNDI credentials.

  • One per Request URI – This option provides response failover, letting you enter a response URI or destination for each request URI. You can optionally select a service account for JMS/JNDI credentials on each request/response pairing.

Response Pattern

This option is available only when you select a response option in the Response Queue field.

Select one of the following:

  • Select JMSCorrelationID for all services other than JAX-RPC services running on Oracle WebLogic Server.

  • Select JMSMessageID for JAX-RPC services running on Oracle WebLogic Server.

For more information, see "Message ID and Correlation ID Patterns for JMS Request/Response" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1051.

Dispatch Policy

Select the instance of Oracle WebLogic Server Work Manager that you want to use for the dispatch policy for this endpoint. The default Work Manager is used if no other Work Manager exists.

For example, if the business service has a JMS transport protocol, the business service endpoint is an MDB (message-driven bean) JAR file that you can associate with the specific dispatch policy.

For information about Work Managers, see:

Request Encoding

Enter the character set for encoding requests. The default is UTF-8.

Response Encoding

This option is available only when one of the response options is selected in the Response Queues field.

Enter the character set for encoding responses. The default is UTF-8.

Response Timeout

This option is available only when one of the response options is selected in the Response Queues field.

Enter the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the response before dropping the connection. The default, zero (0), means the response never times out.

Client Jar

This option is available when the service is a Messaging Service with a response type of Java. Select the client JAR to be used for dequeueing messages that contain Java Objects. Selecting the client JAR ensures it is on the classpath.

For more information, see "Sending and Receiving Java Objects in Messages" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1874.

Response URI

This option is available when you select the One for all Request URIs response option and the JMSCorrelationID response pattern.

Enter a response URI in the format:

jms://host:port/connection_factory/jndi_destination

To target multiple servers, use the following format:

jms://host1:port,host2:port/connection_factory/jndi_destination

You can also omit the host and port in the response URI. For example:

jms:///connection_factory/jndi_destination

When you omit host and port, the connection factory/destination lookup occurs on the local server. This is useful, for example, if the request URI goes to a foreign connection factory/destination, but you want the response sent to the local server.

Note: While Oracle WebLogic Server allows forward slashes in JNDI names, such as "myqueues/myqueue", JNDI names with forward slashes interfere with the URI format required by Oracle Service Bus, and you cannot use those names. To work around this issue, define a JMS foreign server and reference that foreign server in the URI. For more information, see "Configure foreign servers" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as1111/lookup?id=WLACH.

Request Responses

This option is available when you select the One per Request URI response option for the JMSCorrelationID pattern to provide response failover.

For each request URI entered on the generic Transport page, enter a Response URI, as described in the previous Response URI field.

You can select an optional Service Account for JMS/JNDI credentials that the service uses for both the request and response queues.

Target - Responses

This option is available when you select the One for all Request URIs response option for the JMSMessageID pattern.

Enter the name of the Target server that is to receive responses, and enter a Response URI, as described in the Response URI field.

Request Connections

This option is available when you select the One per Request URI response option for the JMSMessageID pattern to provide response failover.

For each request URI, identified sequentially by number in the Seq.No field, optionally enter a JMS Connection Factory name. If you do not enter a name, the JMS transport uses the connection factory from the request URI.

You can select an optional Service Account for JMS/JNDI credentials that the service uses for both the request and response queues.

Target - Destinations

This option is available when you select the One per Request URI response option for the JMSMessageID pattern to provide response failover. Use this field in conjunction with Request Connections.

Each Target server listed (determined by the servers in the current domain), such as Managed Servers in a cluster, lists the request URIs by Seq.No, which correspond to those in the Request Connections field. For each request URI on each target, enter the Destination queue on that target server that receives responses.

Note: Because the Oracle Service Bus development environment supports only a one-server environment, only one Target is listed. To configure this field in a multi-server environment, deploy this service to the runtime environment and complete the service configuration in the Oracle Service Bus Administration Console.

JMS Service Account

This option is available when you use the None or One for all Request URIs option in the Response Queues field.

Select a service account to use for the JMS resource managed by the JMS server. A service account is an alias resource for a user ID and password, used for both the request and response. The same service account is used for both JMS and JNDI purposes.

This field is mutually exclusive with the Pass Caller's Subject option. Use one or the other for JMS/JNDI authentication.

For more information, see Section 2.1.15, "Creating Service Account Resources."

Use SSL

Select this option only if the requests are made over a TLS/SSL connection.

TLS/SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) provides secure connections by allowing two applications connecting over a network to authenticate the other's identity and by encrypting the data exchanged between the applications. Authentication allows a server, and optionally a client, to verify the identity of the application on the other end of a network connection. Additionally, if the administrator has restricted access to individual JMS destinations (queues or topics) by setting access control on the JNDI entry for the destination, the service must authenticate when looking up the entry in the JNDI tree. Authenticate using a Service Account or the Pass Caller's Subject option.

Note: The JMS transport does not support two-way SSL.

Expiration

The time interval in milliseconds after which the message expires. Default value is 0, which means that the message never expires.

Enable Message Persistence

The JMS delivery mode the service uses, which lets you balance reliability with throughput. Select this option (default) for guaranteed message delivery. Clear this option to improve throughput if an occasional lost message is tolerable.

Unit of Order

Enter a message unit-of-order. Message unit-of-order enables message producers to group messages into a single unit with respect to the processing order. This single unit-of-order requires that all messages in that unit be processed sequentially in the order they were created.

Pass Caller's Subject

Select this check box to have Oracle Service Bus pass the authenticated subject when sending a message.

When you enable this field and the business service targets JMS resources in a different domain, enable global trust on both domains. See "Configuring Security for a WebLogic Domain" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Securing Oracle WebLogic Server at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=SECMG402.

This field is mutually exclusive with the Service Account option. Use one or the other for JMS/JNDI authentication.

JNDI Timeout

The JNDI connection timeout (in seconds) used while looking up the destination or connection factory in the JNDI tree.

The default, zero (0), means the connection never times out.

Client Jar

This option is available when the service is a Messaging Service with a request type of Java. Select the client JAR to be used for dequeueing messages that contain Java Objects. Selecting the client JAR ensures it is on the classpath.

For more information, see "Sending and Receiving Java Objects in Messages" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1874.

Dispatch Policy

Select the instance of Oracle WebLogic Server Work Manager that you want to use for the dispatch policy for this endpoint. The default Work Manager is used if no other Work Manager exists.

For example, if the business service has a JMS transport protocol, the business service endpoint is an MDB (message-driven bean) JAR file that you can associate with the specific dispatch policy.

For information about Work Managers, see:

Request Encoding

Enter the character set for encoding requests. The default is UTF-8.

Response Encoding

This option is available only when the Is Response Required check box is selected.

Enter the character set for encoding responses. The default is UTF-8.

Response URI

This option is available only when JMSCorrelationID is selected for the Response Correlation Pattern.

Enter a response URI in the format:

jms://host:port/connection_factory/jndi_destination

To target multiple servers, use the following format:

jms://host1:port,host2:port/connection_factory/jndi_destination

You can also omit the host and port in the response URI. For example:

jms:///connection_factory/jndi_destination

When you omit host and port, the connection factory/destination lookup occurs on the local server. This is useful, for example, if the request URI goes to a foreign connection factory/destination, but you want the response sent to the local server.

Note: While Oracle WebLogic Server allows forward slashes in JNDI names, such as "myqueues/myqueue", JNDI names with forward slashes interfere with the URI format required by Oracle Service Bus, and you cannot use those names. To work around this issue, define a JMS foreign server and reference that foreign server in the URI. For more information, see "Configure foreign servers" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as1111/lookup?id=WLACH.

Response Connection Factory

This option is available only when JMSMessageID is selected for the Response Correlation Pattern.

Enter a response connection factory URI.

If a connection factory is not specified, the connection factory for the request is used for the response.

JMS Service Account

Select a service account to use for the JMS resource managed by the JMS server. A service account is an alias resource for a user ID and password, used for both the request and response. The same service account is used for both JMS and JNDI purposes.

For more information, see Section 2.1.15, "Creating Service Account Resources."

Use SSL

Select this option only if the requests are made over a TLS/SSL connection.

TLS/SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) provides secure connections by allowing two applications connecting over a network to authenticate the other's identity and by encrypting the data exchanged between the applications. Authentication allows a server, and optionally a client, to verify the identity of the application on the other end of a network connection. Additionally, if the administrator has restricted access to individual JMS destinations (queues or topics) by setting access control on the JNDI entry for the destination, the service must authenticate when looking up the entry in the JNDI tree.

Note: The JMS transport does not support two-way SSL.

Message Selector

Enter a message selector expression.

Only messages with properties matching the expression are processed

JMS Client ID

For topics only, enter the client ID to use for the subscriber. If no value is entered, a client ID is automatically generated. Assigning a custom ID helps you identify this component when monitoring the service. This is only effective for durable subscribers.

The JMS Client ID is one of several MDB descriptors that are used to generate subscriber names and the ClientID value for the topic's subscribers. Defining a JMS client ID makes it easier to identify and view subscribers for a specific topic by looking at the subscriber name or client ID.

For more information, see "Specifying the JMS Client ID in Proxy Services" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1967.

Durable Subscription

This option is available only if Topic is selected for the Destination Type.

Select this check box if the subscription is durable or leave it blank if the subscription is not durable

Retry Count

Enter the number of delivery retries a message can have before it is moved to the error destination. This field only applies to Oracle WebLogic Server JMS destinations.

Retry Interval

Enter the amount of time, in milliseconds, before rolled back or recovered messages are redelivered. This field only applies to Oracle WebLogic Server JMS destinations.

Error Destination

Enter the name of the target destination for messages that have reached their redelivery limit. This field only applies to Oracle WebLogic Server JMS destinations.

Expiration Policy

Select an Expiration Policy to use when an expired message is encountered on a destination. This field only applies to Oracle WebLogic Server JMS destinations.

Is XA Required

Select this check box if your connection factory is XA.

This value is into account when the remote connection factory is unavailable. If your connection factory is available and this value is true, make sure that the connection factory is defined as transactional.

Transaction Timeout

Enter the amount of time in seconds for the JMS proxy service to wait for a transaction to be processed. This option only applies to services using an XA connection factory. The default is 600 seconds.

Topic Messages Distribution

This option is available when you select Topic for the Destination Type.

Topic Messages Distribution provides different options for handling inbound JMS messages and providing high availability and failover.

Select one of the following properties to determine how message-driven beans handle incoming JMS messages:

  • One Copy Per Application (default) – If the JMS proxy service is deployed to a cluster, this option provides high availability and scalability by ensuring that an inbound JMS message is processed on only one of the available servers in a cluster.

  • One Copy Per Server – Select this option if you want inbound JMS messages published to a topic to be received by the proxy service on every member of the cluster.

  • Compatibility – Select this option if you want inbound JMS messages to be processed on a specific Managed Server or all Managed Servers in a cluster. If you select this property, select a Target server.

Note: For topic destinations deployed on Oracle WebLogic Server prior to version 10.3.4, the only valid option is Compatibility.

The "One Copy" options you select for Topic Messages Distribution override the Subscription Sharing Policy and/or Client ID Policy configured on the JMS Connection Factory.

Target

This option is available only in an Oracle Service Bus cluster when you select Compatibility for the Topic Messages Distribution option. Select the target server that will handle incoming JMS messages. If you select one of the "One Copy" options for Topic Messages Distribution, this field displays the name of the cluster.

If you do not set a target, the JMS proxy service instance (reading messages off the Topic) on each Managed Server in the cluster gets a copy of the message.

JNDI Timeout

The period of time (in seconds) before the JNDI connection times out when looking up the destination or connection factory in the JNDI tree.

3.1.17 MQ Transport Configuration Page (Business Services)

Before you use the MQ transport, you must configure a MQ Connection resource. See Section 2.6, "Working with MQ Connections." For more information about the MQ transport, see "MQ Transport" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1117.

Use this page to configure transport settings for a proxy service using the native MQ transport protocol.

Table 3-17 MQ Transport Configuration Options for Business Services

Option To create or edit...

Message Type

Select one of the following:

  • Bytes (for a stream of uninterpreted bytes)

  • Text (for text messages)

Is Response Required

Select this option to specify that a response is expected after an outbound message is sent.

Response Correlation Pattern

This option is available only when the Is Response Required check box is selected.

Specify whether the response correlation pattern should be based on:

  • MessageID

  • CorrelationID

  • Dynamic Queue – Select this option if your WebSphere MQ implementation uses dynamic queues for response correlation. The MQ transport supports only temporary dynamic queues.

Auto-generate Correlation Value

This option is available only when the Is Response Required check box is selected.

Select this check box to automatically generate a CorrelationID or MessageID.

Model Queue

For Dynamic Queue Response Correlation Pattern only. Enter the name of the model queue used to generate the dynamic queue.

MQ Response URI

This option is available only when the Is Response Required option is selected.

The destination to which the response should be published. Enter a response URI in the same format as the endpoint URI:

mq://local_queue_name?conn=mq_connection_resource

or, if you are using dynamic queues:

mq://dynamic_queue_prefix?conn=mq_connection_resource

The dynamic_queue_prefix, which is limited to 32 characters, is used to create the dynamic queue on the MQ server. The queue name becomes the prefix plus a unique ID. For example, if the dynamic_queue_prefix is example, the dynamic queue would be named something like example123129083821.

You can also use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard in the dynamic queue response URI. For example:

mq://dynamic_queue_prefix*?conn=mq_connection_resource

mq://dynamic_queue_prefix*

mq://*

If you do not provide a dynamic_queue_name in the URI, the transport uses the dynamic queue name generated by the MQ server. If you do not provide an explicit mq_connection_resource in the URI (best practice), the transport uses the mq_connection_resource from the endpoint URI.

For more detailed information, see "MQ Transport" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1117.

  • MQC.MQPMO_SET_IDENTITY_CONTEXT

  • MQC.MQPMO_SYNCPOINT

  • MQC.MQPMO_VERSION_1

  • MQC.MQPMO_VERSION_2

You can use either "|" or "+" to separate multiple options. For example, you can specify the following:

MQC.MQPMO_LOGICAL_ORDER | MQC.MQPMO_NEW_MSG_ID

The MQ PUT message options are applied when the message is placed in the outbound queue.

MQ Unrecognized Response URI

Enter the URI representing the queue to which unrecognized response messages should be sent. This setting is enabled only when the Auto-generate Correlation Value check box is selected.

If you do not specify a value for this field, unrecognized response messages are deleted.

Process RFH2 Headers

Select this option to parse WebSphere MQ RFH2 headers from a message payload and automatically generate an RFH2Headers transport header containing the RFH2 data.

If you do not select this option, the payload is passed through as received.

For information about how the MQ transport handles RFH2 headers, see "About RFH2 Headers" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=OSBDV1136.

Worker Thread Dispatch Policy

3.1.23 SOA-DIRECT Transport Configuration Page (Business Services)

Table 3-23 describes the transport-specific configuration options for the SOA-DIRECT transport.

Table 3-23 SOA-DIRECT Transport Configuration

Property Description

JNDI Service Account

Optional. Specifies the security credentials for the JNDI lookup of the target SOA service. The service account must be static. Click Browse and select a service account. If you do not specify a service account, an anonymous subject is used.

Role

Required. Identifies the communication pattern the service uses. Select one of the following options:

  • Synchronous Client (default) – In this role, because there is no asynchronous callback, the Callback Proxy option is disabled. The WS-Addressing Version option is also disabled.

  • Asynchronous Client – In this role, because asynchronous callback is usually required, you can identify a Callback Proxy, and you must select a WS-Addressing Version. The asynchronous option is enabled only when the WSDL service is of type SOAP.

  • Service Callback – This role is for returning the asynchronous callback to an SOA service after an external service invocation.

There is no load balancing or failover for Callback services.

Callback Proxy

Optional. Enabled only for the Asynchronous Client role.

This option lets you specify the proxy service that receives callbacks. When you select a callback proxy, if no WS-Addressing is provided by the request or the proxy service pipeline, Oracle Service Bus automatically populates the ReplyTo property in the SOAP header. You must select a WSDL proxy service that uses the SB transport (for RMI), and the callback proxy service must understand WS-Addressing.

WS-Addressing properties that are sent in the request or set in the proxy service pipeline are used instead of the callback proxy you set in this option.

If you do not specify a Callback Proxy, and the request does not contain ReplyTo properties, you must provide ReplyTo properties in the SOAP header through the proxy service pipeline.

Fault Proxy

This option is not currently supported. You must configure your callback services to handle faults in an asynchronous pattern.

WS-Addressing Version

Required. Enabled only for the Asynchronous Client role.

Specify the default WS-Addressing version to use when no WS-Addressing is provided in the request or the proxy service pipeline. WS-Addressing properties that are sent in the request or set in the proxy service pipeline are used instead of the WS-Addressing version you set in this option.

For WS-Addressing version mismatches between environments, perform any necessary transformations in the proxy service pipeline.

Dispatch Policy

Select the instance of Oracle WebLogic Server Work Manager that you want to use for the dispatch policy for this endpoint. The default Work Manager is used if no other Work Manager exists.

For information about Work Managers, see:

Pass Caller's Subject

Optional. Select this option to have Oracle Service Bus pass the authenticated subject from the proxy service when invoking the SOA service. The Invocation Service Account option, an alternative to Pass Caller's Subject, is disabled when you select this option.

Note: Make sure that domain trust is enabled between client and target server if they are in different domains. For more information, see "Important Information Regarding Cross-Domain Security Support" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Securing Oracle WebLogic Server at http://www.oracle.com/pls/as111170/lookup?id=SECMG403.

Invocation Service Account

Optional. Alternative to Pass Caller's Subject, which lets you specify custom security credentials by selecting a service account for RMI invocation. You can specify any type of service account (Pass Through, Static, Mapping).

Click Browse and select a service account. If you do not specify a service account, an anonymous subject is used.
