A Example: Upgrading and Redeploying SOA Order Booking

This appendix provides the step-by-step procedure for upgrading a complex Oracle SOA Suite (SOA) application from Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.3) to Oracle Fusion Middleware Release 11 (11.1.1.0.0).

This procedure is meant to serve as an overall example of the Oracle SOA Suite environment and application upgrade process.

Specifically, this appendix contains the following topics:

A.1 About the SOA Order Booking Application

Oracle provided the SOA Order Booking application with Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) as a sample application that demonstrates many of the key features and components of the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) release.

The SOA Order Booking application is described in detail in the Oracle SOA Tutorial and in the Oracle SOA Suite Quick Start Guide, which are both available in the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) Documentation Library on the Oracle Technology Network:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/index.html

The Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4) patch set introduced a set of improvements and fixes to common problems. In addition, Oracle released a new version of the SOA Order Booking that was tested and improved for 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4).

This appendix assumes you are familiar with the SOA Order Booking application and the technologies it demonstrates.

Figure A-1 shows the login page of the SOA Order Booking Demo, deployed on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4).

A.2 Task 1: Verify That the SOA Order Booking and Its External Partners are Up and Running

Before you can migrate the SOA Order Booking application to 11g, you must review the following prerequisites:

A.2.1 Task 1a: Verify That the SOA Order Booking Is Successfully Deployed on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4)

Before you can migrate the SOA Order Booking application to 11g, it is assumed that:

  • You have already installed and configured Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0), and you have applied the 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4) patch set.

  • You have already installed and configured Oracle JDeveloper 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4).

  • You have downloaded the updated 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4) version of the SOA Order Booking demo application.

    You can download the 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4) SOA Order Booking demo application from the following location on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN):

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/bpel/

  • You have used the instructions in the 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) Oracle SOA Suite Tutorial or Oracle SOA Suite Quick Start Guide to deploy the SOA Order Booking application on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4).

    This includes installing the database schemas for the SOA Order Booking 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4) application in an available database.

A.2.2 Task 1b: Verify That SOA Order Booking Is Currently Running on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4)

Before you migrate the SOA Order Booking application to 11g, test the application on 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4) and make sure that it is functioning properly. This ensures that the database where the SOA Order Booking schemas are installed is up and running and the external services and external partners are up and running.

For example, you should be able to log in to the application, browse the list of products (Figure A-2), and place an order. You should also be able to monitor the BPEL processes using the BPEL Worklist Manager.

Description of Figure A-2 follows
Description of "Figure A-2 Browsing Items in the SOA Order Booking Application"

For more information, see "Running and Monitoring the SOA Order Booking Application" in the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) Oracle SOA Suite Quick Start Guide.

The Oracle SOA Suite Quick Start Guide is included in the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) documentation library, which is available on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN):

http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/

A.2.3 Task 1c: Verify That All External Partners Are Available

Before you can upgrade the SOA Order Booking application to 11g, you must ensure that the external partners (in the form remote Web services) are up and running and available.

Oracle JDeveloper 11g must be able to access these external partners, as well as the Oracle BPEL Process Manager and Oracle Enterprise Service Bus services deployed on 10g; otherwise, it can not properly migrate the projects in your application to 11g.

To verify that the required Web services are available, you should review each of the projects in your Oracle SOA Suite applications before you migrate them to 11g. For example, you can review the Oracle BPEL Process Manager configuration files for each project and verify that the Web services URIs referenced in those configuration files are valid and working.

For example, in the SOA Order Booking application, you can review the contents of the SOAOrderBooking project, as follows:

  1. Open the SOA Order Booking 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4) application in Oracle JDeveloper 10g Release 3 (10.1.3).

  2. Expand the SOAOrderBooking project, and then expand the Integration Content folder.

  3. Expand the bpel folder and double-click the bpel.xml file (Figure A-3).

    Figure A-3 Selecting a bpel.xml File to Test WSDL URLs

    Description of Figure A-3 follows
    Description of "Figure A-3 Selecting a bpel.xml File to Test WSDL URLs"

  4. Inside the bpel.xml file, search for the following entry:

    <partnerLinkBinding name="OrderFulfillment">
        <property  name="wsdlLocation">
              http://host.domain:port/esb/wsil/Fulfillment/OrderFulfillment?wsdl
        </property>
        <property name="preferredBindings">
              http://www.oracle.com/esb/
        </property>
</partnerLinkBinding>

  5. Copy the URL in the wsdlLocation element to your browser and verify that the URL is valid and displays the output shown in Figure A-4.

  6. If the Web Services URL do not display correctly, troubleshoot and solve the problem before attempting to migrate the application to 11g.

    For example, make sure the database where the SOA Order Booking schemas are installed is up and running and that all components of the application have been deployed successfully.

  7. Repeat this procedure for the other URLs in the bpel.xml file.

  8. Perform a similar test for the WSDL URLs in the following projects:

    • SOAOrderBooking:

      CreditValidatingService.wsdl
CustomerSvc.wsdl
RapidService.wsdl

    • OrderBookingESB:

      OrderBooking_OrderBookingProcess.esbsvc
OrderBooking_OrderBookingService.esbsvc

A.3 Task 2: Install and Upgrade the Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite

After you verify that the SOA Order Booking application is running successfully on your Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) environment, you can then install a new Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g environment and upgrade the environment.

Follow the instructions in Chapter 6, "Upgrading an Oracle SOA Suite 10g Environment" to prepare the Oracle Fusion Middleware environment for the SOA Order Booking migration and redeployment.

This task includes:

  • Installing and configuring the Oracle SOA Suite 11g middle tiers

  • Upgrading the Oracle SOA Suite schemas to 11g

A.4 Task 3: Use the Oracle WebLogic Suite Administration Console to Configure Required Resources

The SOA Order Booking demo application requires that a data source and a set of JMS resources be available on the Oracle WebLogic Server managed server where SOA Order Booking is deployed.

Refer to the following sections for information on how to use the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console to create these resources:

A.4.1 Task 3a: Create the SOADEMO Data Source

Before you can deploy the SOA Order Booking sample application on Oracle WebLogic Server, you must first define an Oracle WebLogic Server data source that references the database where the SOA Order Booking schemas are installed.

These are the same schemas you installed previously, when you deployed the SOA Order Booking demo application on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4), as described in Section A.2, "Task 1: Verify That the SOA Order Booking and Its External Partners are Up and Running".

To create the data source:

  1. Log in the Administration Console.

  2. In the Domain Structure tree, expand Services > JDBC, then select Data Sources.

  3. On the Summary of Data Sources page, click New.

A.7 Task 6: Open the SOA Order Booking Application in Oracle JDeveloper 11g and Migrate the Application Projects

The following sections describe how you can open an application created in a previous version of Oracle JDeveloper and use the Migration Wizard to upgrade the application to Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g:

Important:

The SOA Order Booking application and its projects rely upon external partners. These remote Web services must be up and running and available to the SOA Order Booking application before you migrate the application to Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g.

You cannot successfully open the application in Oracle JDeveloper 11g if the external partner URI's are not available. For more information, see Task 1: Verify That the SOA Order Booking and Its External Partners are Up and Running.

A.7.1 Opening and Migrating the Application

To open and migrate the application to Oracle JDeveloper 11g:

  1. Make a backup copy of the soademo folder that contains the 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.4) SOA Order Booking Demo application source files.

    The contents of the soademo folder will be modified during the upgrade. The backup copy allows you to restore the original 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) version of the demo if necessary.

    Note that for this procedure, the working folder (the folder containing the files you will upgrade) is referred to as the SOADEMO_HOME directory.

  2. Review the contents of the SOADEMO_HOME directory and remove the following file if it exists:

    SOADEMO_HOME/SOAOrderBooking/bpel/rules/com

    This includes the subdirectories under the bpel/rules/com/ directory.

  3. Select Open from the File menu and select the Oracle JDeveloper 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0) soademo.jws file.

    Oracle JDeveloper displays Step 1, the Welcome page, of the Migration Wizard.

    Click Next.

  4. In Step 2 (Figure A-5), select Yes to migrate the project files to Oracle JDeveloper Release 11 (11.1.1.0.0).

    Click Next.

    Figure A-5 Step 2 of the Oracle JDeveloper 11g Migration Wizard

    Description of Figure A-5 follows
    Description of "Figure A-5 Step 2 of the Oracle JDeveloper 11g Migration Wizard"

  5. In Step 3, clear the Migrate to Webapp 2.5 check box.

    Note:

    Clearing the Migrate to WebApp 2.5 check box is important because the SOA Order Booking demo application uses Web services that you will upgrade manually later in this procedure. To be sure the Migration wizard does not attempt to upgrade these automatically, be sure to clear the Migrate to WebApp 2.5 check box.

    Click Next.

    Figure A-6 Clearing the WebApp 2.5 Option in the Oracle JDeveloper Migration Wizard

    Description of Figure A-6 follows
    Description of "Figure A-6 Clearing the WebApp 2.5 Option in the Oracle JDeveloper Migration Wizard"

  6. In Step 4, review the items on the page, accept the default selections, and click Next .

  7. In Step 5, review the setup options you selected, and click Finish to upgrade the application to Oracle JDeveloper 11g.

    JDeveloper displays a Migration Status dialog box that indicates the progress of the migration. In addition, information about the migration is displayed in the logging pane in the main Oracle JDeveloper window.

  8. When the migration is complete, click Finish.

A.7.2 Viewing the Migration Log Files

After the migration, you can review the log files generated during the application migration. The log files describe the various changes that Oracle JDeveloper 11g makes to the projects as they are opened and migrated to Oracle JDeveloper 11g.

The log files are located in the following directory:

JDEV_HOME\upgrade\logs\

You an identify the different log files for each application by viewing the date and time stamp in each log file name. For example:

SOAOrderBooking2009-04-29-12-46-35PM.log

In addition, the Messages tab in the Oracle JDeveloper main window displays links to the individual log files for each project that was migrated. Click any of the links to display a migration log file.

A.8 Task 7: Compile and Deploy Each of the Application Projects on Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g

After you have opened the SOADEMO application and migrated the projects to Oracle JDeveloper 11g, you can now recompile each of the projects and redeploy them one by one.

Review, compile, and redeploy each project in the following order:

A.8.1 About the CreditService, RapidService, and CustomerService Projects

The CreditService, RapidService, and CustomerService projects in the SOA Order Booking application are Java EE Web services that are referenced by the other projects in the application.

As a result, for the purposes of this example, it is not necessary to upgrade these three projects to 11g. Instead, you can continue to use the Oracle Application Server 10g versions of these services, which are currently running in your 10g environment.

If you choose to upgrade these three Web services projects, note the following:

  • The instructions for modifying the Web services projects in this Appendix should be adequate if you are familiar and experienced with developing Java EE applications and Web services; however, they are not designed to serve as a tutorial for upgrading Java EE projects.

  • If you choose to upgrade the CustomerService Web services project, some additional changes will be required to the SOAOrderBooking project, which are not documented in detail in this Appendix.

A.8.2 SelectManufacturer

The SelectManufacturer project is an asynchronous BPEL process. This means that it contains a receive activity to initiate the BPEL process flow and an invoke activity to call back the client asynchronously with the results (that is, the quote) at the end of the flow.

To compile and redeploy the SelectManufacturer project:

  1. Right-click the project in the Application Navigator.

  2. From the context-menu, select Make SelectManufacturer.jpr.

    The project should compile successfully.

  3. Right-click the project again and select Deploy > SelectManufacturer.

    Oracle JDeveloper displays the first page of the Deployment wizard.

  4. Follow the instructions on the wizard pages to deploy the project on the SoademoApplicationServer.

A.8.3 DHLShipment

The DHLShipment project was created as an Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) service in Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3). It should require no changes after opening the project in Oracle JDeveloper 11g.

To compile and redeploy the DHLShipment project:

  1. Right-click the project in the Application Navigator.

  2. From the context-menu, select Make DHLShipment.jpr.

  3. Right-click the project again and select Deploy > DHLShipment.

    Oracle JDeveloper displays the first page of the Deployment wizard.

  4. Follow the instructions on the wizard pages to deploy the project on the SoademoApplicationServer.

A.8.4 FulfillmentESB

The FulfillmentESB project was created in 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) as an Oracle Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) project.

After an order has been approved, the SOAOrderBooking project invokes the FulfillmentESB project to determine the shipping method for the order.

Orders are sent to the USPS through a file adapter. The order information is written to a file. For Fedex, orders are sent through a database adapter. The order information is written to a database. The FulfillmentESB project also sends orders to a JMS queue.

Before you can compile and deploy this project, you need to make some minor changes in Oracle JDeveloper 11g:

A.8.4.1 Modifying the FulfillmentESB Project in Oracle JDeveloper 11g

Make the following changes to the FulfillmentESB project:

  1. Expand the FullfillmentESB project and double-click composite.xml.

This project is a Java EE Web services project. Before you proceed, refer to Section A.8.1, "About the CreditService, RapidService, and CustomerService Projects".

Before you can compile and deploy the project, there some changes you have to make in Oracle JDeveloper 11g.

A.8.7.1 Modifying Specific CustomerService Project Class Files

To modify the CustomerService project in Oracle JDeveloper 11g, you must modify the following files in the /src/org/soademo/customerservice/ directory of the project:

  • business/Customerservice.java:

    Remove "throws RemoteException" from the finsCustomerById() method.

  • client/CustomerServiceClient.java and business/CustomerServiceClient.java

    1. Locate the section of the class file shown in Example A-1 and modify it so it reflects the changes shown in Example A-2.

    2. Change the lookup to the following:

       CustomerService customerService =
      (CustomerService)context.lookup(
       "CustomerService#org.soademo.customerservice.business.CustomerService");

  • business/CustomerserviceBean.java:

    Modify this file so its contents reflects the changes shown in Example A-3.

Example A-1 Original CustomerService.java File

private static Context getInitialContext() throws NamingException {
    Hashtable en = new Hashtable();
    //  Standalone OC4J connection details
    env.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
                      "oracle.j2ee.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory" );
    env.put( Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "oc4jadmin" );
    env.put( Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "welcome1" );
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ormi://localhost:23791/CustomerService");
    return new InitialContext( env );

Example A-2 Modified CustomerService.java File

private static Context getInitialContext() throws NamingException {
        Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
        env.put( Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory" );
        env.put( Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "weblogic" );
        env.put( Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "weblogic" );
        env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://edith:7101");
        return new InitialContext( env );

  5. Scroll down to the Input Arguments section of the page.

    From this section of the page, you can enter input data to test the composite application. The SOA Order Booking application ZIP file contains two text files that contain sample data you use to test the SOA Order Booking application.

  6. Locate the following input sample test file in the root directory of the SOADEMO_HOME:

    sampleInput2.txt

  7. Open sampleInput2.txt and select and copy the entire contents of the file.

  8. Select XML View from the drop-down menu in the Input Arguments section of the Test Web Service page.

  9. Select and delete the XML content displayed on the Request tab in the Input Arguments section of the page.

    Figure A-11 shows the XML content selected in the Input Arguments section of the page.

  10. Paste the contents of the sampleinput2.txt file into the text field, and click Test Web Service at the bottom of the page.

    After a few seconds, a message appears indicating that the Web service invocation was successful. It also displays the return value obtained by the service.

  11. Click the Launch Message Flow Trace link to see the flow of your composite and the status of each service, component, and reference.

    Fusion Middleware Control displays the Flow Trace page (Figure A-12), which shows each step in the process flow. Using this view, you can monitor the application as it progresses through each component and task in the application.

    You can also a click a component to drill down into the Instance Details for the component.

  12. For further testing, you can perform this same procedure using sampleinput1.txt, which is in the same directory as sampleinput2.txt and submits an order of more than $1000.

    For sampleinput1.txt, you'll notice that the work flow stops and does not continue, until you log into the following URL and approve the order:

    http://domain:port/integration/worklistapp
