22 Using Oracle Mediator Error Handling

This chapter describes the error handling capabilities of Oracle Mediatorand provides instructions for defining error handling for both business faults and system faults.

This chapter includes the following sections:

22.1 Introduction to Mediator Error Handling

Mediator provides sophisticated error handling capabilities that enable you to configure a Mediator service component for error occurrences and corresponding corrective actions. Error handling enables an Mediator to handle errors that occur during the processing of messages and also the exceptions returned by outside web services. You can handle both business faults and system faults with Mediator.

Business faults are application-specific and are explicitly defined in the service WSDL file. You can handle business faults by defining the fault handlers in Oracle JDeveloper at design time. System faults occur because of some problem in the underlying system such as a network not being available. Mediator provides fault policy-based error handling for system faults.

Fault policies enable you to handle errors automatically or through human intervention. Mediator fault policy-based error handling consists of the following three components:

22.1.1 Fault Policies

A fault policy defines error conditions and corresponding actions. Fault policies are defined in the fault-policies.xml file. The fault-policies.xml file should be created based on the XML schema defined in Section 22.4.1, "Schema Definition File for fault-policies.xml."

Note:

Fault policies are applicable to parallel routing rules only. For sequential routing rules, the fault goes back to the caller directly and the policies are not applied. It is the responsibility of the caller to handle the fault. If the caller is an adapter, then you can define rejection handlers on the inbound adapter to take care of the messages that error out (that is, the rejected messages). For more information about rejection handlers, see Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Technology Adapters.

A sample fault policy file is shown in Example 22-1:

Example 22-1 Sample Fault Policy File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faultPolicies>
  <faultPolicy version="2.0.1" id="CRM_ServiceFaults">
    <Conditions>
      <faultName xmlns:medns="http://schemas.oracle.com/mediator/faults"
 name="medns:mediatorFault">
        <condition>
         <test>contains($fault.mediatorErrorCode, "TYPE_FATAL_MESH")</test>
          <action ref="ora-retry"/>
        </condition>
      </faultName>
     </Conditions>
    <Actions>
        <Action id="ora-retry">
          <retry>
            <retryCount>3</retryCount>
            <retryInterval>2</retryInterval>
            <exponentialBackoff/>
            <retryFailureAction ref="ora-java"/>
            <retrySuccessAction ref="ora-terminate"/>
          </retry>
        </Action>
    </Actions>
  </faultPolicy>
</faultPolicies>

The two components of the fault policy (conditions and actions) are described in the following sections.

22.1.1.1 Conditions

Conditions identify error or fault conditions along with a reference to the actions to be taken. You can use conditions to identify the action to be taken when a particular error or fault condition occurs. For example, for a particular error occurring because of a service not being available, you can perform an action such as a retry. Similarly, for another error occurring because of the failure of Schematron validation, you can perform the action of human intervention. This fault can be recovered manually by editing the payload and then resubmitting it through Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control.

Conditions are defined in the fault-policies.xml file, as shown in Example 22-2:

Example 22-2 Conditions

<Conditions>
      <faultName xmlns:medns="http://schemas.oracle.com/mediator/faults"
       name="medns:mediatorFault">
          <condition>
            <test>contains($fault.mediatorErrorCode,"TYPE_DATA_TRANSFORMATION")</test>
             <action ref="ora-java"/>
          </condition>
      </faultName>
      <faultName xmlns:medns="http://schemas.oracle.com/mediator/faults"
name="medns:mediatorFault">
        <condition>
         <test>contains($fault.mediatorErrorCode, "TYPE_FATAL_MESH")</test>
          <action ref="ora-retry"/>
        </condition>
      </faultName>
      <faultName xmlns:medns="http://schemas.oracle.com/mediator/faults"
name="medns:mediatorFault">
        <condition>
         <test>contains($fault.mediatorErrorCode,"TYPE_DATA_ASSIGN")</test>
          <action ref="ora-retry-crm-endpoint"/>
        </condition>
      </faultName>
</Conditions>

Identifying Fault Types Using Conditions 

You can categorize the faults that can be captured using conditions into the following types:

  • Mediator-specific faults

    For all Mediator-specific faults, the Mediator service engine throws only one fault, namely {http://schemas.oracle.com/mediator/faults}mediatorFault. Every Mediator fault is wrapped into this fault. The errors or faults generated by a Mediator can be captured by using the format shown in Example 22-3:

    Example 22-3 Oracle Mediator-Specific Faults

    <faultName xmlns:medns="http://schemas.oracle.com/mediator/faults" name="medns:mediatorFault">
    <!-- mediatorFault is a bucket for all the mediator faults -->
         <condition>
           <test>
     contains($fault.mediatorErrorCode, "TYPE_FATAL_MESH")
     </test> 
    <!-- Captures TYPE_FATAL_MESH errors -->
           <action ref="ora-retry"/>
         </condition>
       </faultName>
    
  • Business faults and SOAP faults

    These errors or faults can be captured by defining an XPath condition, which is based on the fault payload. Example 22-4 provides details.

    Example 22-4 Business Faults and SOAP Faults

    <faultName xmlns:ns1="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Customer"
     name="ns1:InvalidCustomer"> <!-- Qname of Business/SOAP fault -->
           <condition>
             <test>
    contains($fault.<PART_NAME>/custid, 1011)
     </test>
    <!-- xpath condition based on fault payload -->
             <action ref="ora-retry"/>
           </condition>
       </faultName>
    

    When a reference service returns a business fault, the fault can be handled in the Mediator service component. The returned fault can be forwarded to another component, redirected to an adapter service such as a file adapter, or an event can be raised. However, if both a fault policy and fault handler are defined for a business fault, then the fault policy takes precedence over the fault handler. In such a case, the fault handlers in the Mediator service component are ignored, if the fault policy is successfully executed.

  • Adapter-specific fault

    The errors or faults generated by an adapter can be captured by using the format shown in Example 22-5:

    Example 22-5 Capturing Errors or Faults Generated by an Adapter

    <faultName xmlns:medns="http://schemas.oracle.com/mediator/faults" name="medns:mediatorFault">
       <condition>
         <test>$fault.faultCode = "1"</test> <!-- unique constraint violation in DB adapter-->
         <action ref="ora-retry"/>
       </condition>
     </faultName>
    

22.1.1.2 Actions

Actions specify the tasks to perform when an error occurs. Mediator provides a list of actions that you can use in a fault policy. These predefined actions are described in the following list:

  • Retry: Retry actions such as enqueueing a message to a JMS queue that is stopped, inserting a record with a unique key constraint error, and so on, enable you to retry a task that caused the error. A new thread is started with every retry action. Therefore, with every retry action, a new transaction starts. Table 22-1 describes the options available with the retry action.

    Table 22-1 Retry Action Options

    Option Description

    Retry Count

    Retry N times.

    Retry Interval

    Delay in seconds for a retry.

    Exponential Backoff

    Retry interval increase with an exponential backoff.

    Retry Failure Action

    Chain to this action if a retry N times fails.

    Retry Success Action

    Chain to this action if a retry succeeds.


    Note:

    Exponential backoff indicates that the next retry attempt is scheduled at 2 x the delay, where delay is the current retry interval. For example, if the current retry interval is 2 seconds, the next retry attempt is scheduled at 4, the next at 8, and the next at 16 seconds until the retryCount value is reached.

    Example 22-6 shows how to specify the retry action:

    Example 22-6 Retry Action

    <Action id="ora-retry">
     <retry>
     <retryCount>3</retryCount>
     <retryInterval>2</retryInterval>
     <exponentialBackoff/>
     <retryFailureAction ref="ora-java"/>
     <retrySuccessAction ref="ora-java"/>
     </retry>
     </Action>
    

    If you set the retry Interval in the fault policy to a duration of less than 30 seconds, then the retry may not happen within the specified intervals. This is because the default value of the org.quartz.scheduler.idleWaitTime property is 30 seconds, and the scheduler waits for 30 seconds before retrying for available triggers, when the scheduler is otherwise idle. If the retry interval is set to a value of less than 30 seconds, then latency is expected.

    If you want the system to use a retry interval that is less than 30 seconds, add the following property under the section <property name="quartzProperties"> in the fabric-config-core.xml file:

    org.quartz.scheduler.idleWaitTime=<value>
    
  • Human intervention: You can specify this action in the following way:

    <Action id="ora-human-intervention"><humanIntervention/></Action>
    
  • Abort: This action enables you to abort the flow. You can specify this action in the following way:

    <Action id="ora-terminate"><abort/></Action>
    
  • Java code: This action enables you to call a customized Java class that implements the oracle.integration.platform.faultpolicy.IFaultRecoveryJavaClass interface. You can specify this action as shown in Example 22-7:

    Note:

    The implemented Java class must implement a method that returns a string. The policy can be chained to a new action based on the returned string.

    Example 22-7 Customized Java Class Calling

    <Action id="ora-java">
            <javaAction className="mypackage.myClass" defaultAction="ora-terminate">
              <returnValue value="ABORT" ref="ora-terminate"/>
              <returnValue value="RETRY" ref="ora-retry"/>
              <returnValue value="MANUAL" ref="ora-human-intervention"/>
            </javaAction>
          </Action>
    

    For more information, see Example 22-8 and Example 22-9.

Example 22-8 oracle.integration.platform.faultpolicy.IFaultRecoveryJavaClass Interface

oracle.integration.platform.faultpolicy.IFaultRecoveryJavaClass {
 
    public void handleRetrySuccess(IFaultRecoveryContext ctx);   
    public String handleFault(IFaultRecoveryContext ctx);
 
}

Example 22-9 oracle.integration.platform.faultpolicy.IFaultRecoveryContext Interface

public interface IFaultRecoveryContext {
   
    /**
     * Gets implementation type of the fault. 
     * @return
     */
    public String getType();
   
    /**
     * @return Get property set of the fault policy action being executed.
     */
    public Map getProperties();
 
    /**
     * @return Get fault policy id of the fault policy being executed.
     */
    public String getPolicyId();
 
    /**
     * @return Name of the faulted reference.
     */
    public String getReferenceName();
 
    /**
     * @return Port type of the faulted reference link.
     */
    public QName getPortType();
}

Mediator Service Engine Implementation 

Example 22-10 shows the Oracle Mediator service engine implementation of the IFaultRecoveryContext interface.

Example 22-10 IFaultRecoveryContext Interface Implementation

package oracle.tip.mediator.common.error.recovery;
public class MediatorRecoveryContext implements IFaultRecoveryContext{
   ... 
}

You can use the methods shown in Example 22-11 to retrieve additional Oracle Mediator-specific data available with the MediatorRecoveryContext class:

Example 22-11 Methods for Retrieving Data

public Fault getFault()
public CalloutMediatorMessage getMediatorMessage()

Example 22-12 shows how to retrieve data using the CalloutMediatorMessage interface:

Example 22-12 Data Retrieval Using the CalloutMediatorMessage Interface

/**
     * Accessing Mediator Message properties by providing the property name
     * @param propertyName
     * @return
     * @throws MediatorException
     */
    public Object getProperty(String propertyName);
   
    /**
     * Accessing Mediator Message properties
     * @return
     * @throws MediatorException
     */
    public Map getProperties();
 
    /**
     * Accessing instance id of the mediator message
     * This will be the mediator instance id created for that particular message
     * object
     * @return
     * @throws MediatorException
     */
    public String getId() throws MediatorException;
   
    /**
     * Accessing payload of the mediator message
     * object
     * @return
     * @throws MediatorException
     */
    public Map getPayload();
   
    /**
     * Accessing header of the mediator message
     * object
     * @return
     * @throws MediatorException
     */
    public List<Element> getHeaders();
   
    /**
     * Accessing componentDN for mediator component
     * @return
     * @throws MediatorException
     */
    public String getComponentDN( 
    /**
     * Setting payload to the mediator message
     * @return
     * @throws MediatorCalloutException
     */
    public void addPayload(String partName,Object payload) throws MediatorCalloutException;
   
    /**
     * Adding property to the mediator message
     * @return
     * @throws MediatorCalloutException
     */
    public void addProperty(String name,Object value) throws MediatorCalloutException;
   
    /**
     * Adding header to the mediator message
     * @return
     * @throws MediatorCalloutException
     */
    public void addHeader(Object header) throws MediatorCalloutException;

22.1.2 Fault Bindings

Fault bindings associate fault policies with composites or components, and are defined in the fault-bindings.xml file. Create the fault-bindings.xml file based on the XML schema defined in Section 22.4.2, "Schema Definition File for fault-bindings.xml."

Fault policies can be created at the following levels:

  • Composite: You can define one fault policy for all Mediator components in a composite. You can specify this level in the following way:

    <composite faultPolicy="ConnectionFaults"/>
    
  • Component: You can define a fault policy exclusively for a Mediator service component. A component-level fault policy overrides the composite-level fault policy. You can specify this level as shown in Example 22-13.

    Example 22-13 Definition of a Fault Policy for a Mediator

    <component faultPolicy="ConnectionFaults">
            <name>Component1</name>
            <name>Component2</name>
    </component>
    
  • Reference: You can define a fault policy for the references of a Mediator component. You can specify this level as shown in Example 22-14.

    Example 22-14 Definition of a Fault Policy for a Reference

    <reference faultPolicy="policy1">
        <name>DBAdapter3</name>
      </reference>
    

Note:

Human intervention is the default action for errors that do not have a fault policy defined.

A sample fault binding file is shown in Example 22-15.

Example 22-15 Sample Fault Binding File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faultPolicyBindings version="2.0.1"
 xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <composite faultPolicy="ConnectionFaults"/>
</faultPolicyBindings>

22.1.3 Error Groups in Mediator

You can specify an action for an error type or error group while defining the conditions in a fault policy. In the previous examples, medns:mediatorFault indicates that the error is a Mediator error, whereas medns:TYPE_FATAL_MESH refers to an error group. An error group consists of one or more child error types. TYPE_ALL is an error group that contains all Mediator errors.

The following list describes various error groups contained in the TYPE_ALL error group:

  • TYPE_DATA: Contains errors related to data handling.

    • TYPE_DATA_ASSIGN: Contains errors related to data assignment.

    • TYPE_DATA_FILTERING: Contains errors related to data filtering.

    • TYPE_DATA_TRANSFORMATION: Contains errors that occur during a transformation.

    • TYPE_DATA_VALIDATION: Contains errors that occur during payload validation.

  • TYPE_METADATA: Contains errors related to Mediator metadata.

    • TYPE_METADATA_FILTERING: Contains errors that occur while processing the filtering conditions.

    • TYPE_METADATA_TRANSFORMATION: Contains errors that occur while getting the metadata for a transformation.

    • TYPE_METADATA_VALIDATION: Contains errors that occur during validation of metadata for Mediator (.mplan file).

    • TYPE_METADATA_COMMON: Contains other errors that occur during the handling of metadata.

  • TYPE_FATAL: Contains fatal errors that are not easily recoverable.

    • TYPE_FATAL_DB: Contains database-related fatal errors, such as a Datasource not found error.

    • TYPE_FATAL_CACHE: Contains Mediator cache-related fatal errors.

    • TYPE_FATAL_ERRORHANDLING: Contains fatal errors that occur during error handling such as Resubmission queues not available.

    • TYPE_FATAL_MESH: Contains fatal errors from the Service Infrastructure such as Invoke service not available.

    • TYPE_FATAL_MESSAGING: Contains fatal messaging errors arising from the Service Infrastructure.

    • TYPE_FATAL_TRANSACTION: Contains fatal errors related to transactions such as Commit can't be called on a transaction which is marked for rollback.

    • TYPE_FATAL_TRANSFORMATION: Contains fatal transformation errors such as an error occurring because of the XPath functions used in a transformation.

  • TYPE_TRANSIENT: Contains transient errors that can be recovered on a retry.

    • TYPE_TRANSIENT_MESH: Contains errors related to the Service Infrastructure.

    • TYPE_TRANSIENT_MESSAGING: Contains errors related to JMS such as enqueuing and dequeuing.

  • TYPE_INTERNAL: Contains internal errors.

22.2 Using Error Handling with Mediator

You can enable error handling for an Oracle Mediator by using the fault-policies.xml and fault-bindings.xml files.

22.2.1 How to Use Error Handling for a Mediator Service Component

To use error handling for a Mediator service component:

  1. Create a fault-policies.xml file based on the schema defined in Section 22.4.1, "Schema Definition File for fault-policies.xml."

  2. Create a fault-bindings.xml file based on the schema defined in Section 22.4.2, "Schema Definition File for fault-bindings.xml."

  3. Copy the fault-policies.xml and the fault-bindings.xml file to your SOA composite application project directory.

  4. Deploy the SOA composite application project.

22.2.2 What Happens at Runtime

All the fault policies for a composite are loaded when the first error occurs. At runtime, Mediator checks whether there is any policy defined for the current error. If a fault policy is defined, then Mediator performs the action according to the configuration in the fault policies file. If there is no fault policy defined, then the default action of human intervention is performed.

22.3 Fault Recovery Using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control

Apart from policy-based recovery using the fault policy file, you can also perform fault recovery actions on Oracle Mediator faults identified as recoverable in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. This can be performed in the following ways:

22.4 Error Handling XML Schema Definition Files

This section describes the schema files for the fault-policies.xml and fault-bindings.xml files.

22.4.1 Schema Definition File for fault-policies.xml

The fault-policies.xml file should be based on the XSD file shown in Example 22-16.

Example 22-16 XSD File for fault-policies.xml
