7 Running a Sample Application

This chapter describes how to load and run a sample application for the Oracle SOA Suite Quick Start distribution using the Integrated WebLogic Server's default domain. It also tells you how to find sample applications for Oracle Process Management Suite and how to begin a project for Oracle Event Processing.

This chapter includes the following sections:

7.1 Running the ProcessOrder Oracle SOA Suite Sample Application

This section guides you through running a sample application using Oracle SOA Suite components in a SOA Quick Start default domain. You will use the Integrated WebLogic Server, SOA composites, and Oracle Service Bus projects to run an application that can process an order, including credit card validation.

Task 1   Download and unzip the application files.

  1. Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/learnmore/soasuitesamplestutorials-2765831.html. Download e2e-1201-sample.zip.

  2. Unzip e2e-1201-sample.zip into a folder outside of your Oracle home so that you can deinstall an Oracle JDeveloper installation without losing project files. The zip contains e2e-1201-composites-sample.zip, e2e-1201-servicebus-sample.zip, and SampleOrder.xml.

  3. Unzip e2e-1201-composites-sample.zip and e2e-1201-servicebus-sample.zip into the same directory. Your directory should now contain the OrderSample.xml and two subfolders: e2e-1201-composites and e2e-1201-servicebus.

Task 2   Launch JDeveloper and the Integrated WebLogic Server.

Launch JDeveloper using the following command.

Environment Run Command
Linux 
cd ORACLE_HOME/jdeveloper/jdev/bin
./jdev
Windows 
CD ORACLE_HOME\jdeveloper\jdev\bin
jdeveloper.exe

Launch the Integrated WebLogic Server by choosing Run from top menu bar. Select Start Server Instance from the drop-down menu, as seen in Figure 7-1.

Description of Figure 7-1 follows
Description of ''Figure 7-1 Starting the Integrated WebLogic Server''

When you see the following messages appear in the log, the Integrated WebLogic Server has launched successfully.

[SOA Platform is running and accepting requests
[IntegratedWebLogicServer started.]
Task 3   Load the project files.

  1. Load e2e-1201-composites.jws from folder e2e-1201-composites.

    Description of opencompositeapp.gif follows
    Description of the illustration ''opencompositeapp.gif''

    A dialogue box titled Open Warning will pop up and warn you that you will b e converting the application files into Oracle JDeveloper 12.1.3.0.0 file format. Click Yes to migrate the files.

    After the files have migrated successfully, the contents of e2e-1201-composites will be listed in the Applications pane.

  2. Click on the composite's name to trigger a drop-down menu with Open Application as an option.

    Description of openappmenu.gif follows
    Description of the illustration ''openappmenu.gif''

    Use that option to load e2e-1201-servicebus.jws from the subfolder e2e-1201-servicebus.

    The contents of e2e-1201-servicebus.jws loads in the same Applications pane as e2e-1201-servicebus.

    You can switch between the two applications using the same drop-down menu you used to access the Open Application option.

Task 4   Deploy ValidatePayment for the SOA composites.

This task involves several steps.

  1. Switch to e2e-1201-composites using the Applications drop-down menu.

  2. Right-click on validatePayment in the content list and highlight Deploy from the pop-up menu. Then select validatePayment to launch the Deployment Action prompt.
