You can use the AquaLogic Service Bus MBeans in Java programs and WLST scripts to automate promotion of AquaLogic Service Bus configurations from development environments through testing, staging, and finally to production environments. The AquaLogic Service Bus MBeans you can use to programmatically perform deployment operations include:
The latter MBeans are interfaces in the com.bea.wli.sb.management.configuration package.
Numerous customization options can be applied during deployment. An extended list of environment variables allows you to preserve or tailor settings when moving from one environment to another.
This section contains the following topics:

AquaLogic Service Bus sessions allow different users to update discrete parts of configuration data without interfering with each other. A session is essentially a named sandbox, in which your changes are abstracted from other users, as well as from the core data (the data on which AquaLogic Service Bus runs), until the changes are activated. In order to modify resources and AquaLogic Service Bus configurations, you must create a session and perform changes in that session. The changes are only reflected in the core data when you activate the session. You can create multiple sessions as long as no two sessions have the same name. A session can only be activated using the instance of the SessionManagementMBean
that works on that session data.
Each MBean type, except for SessionManagementMBean
, has one instance per session. When a session is created, a new set of MBean instances (one for each MBean Type) is created automatically. One instance of each MBean Type operates on the core data that is saved to the AquaLogic Service Bus data cache. MBean instances created for a session are destroyed when the session is discarded or activated. MBean instances that operate on core data, however, are never destroyed. MBean instances that work on core data do not support update operations.
AquaLogic Service Bus sessions are created using the AquaLogic Service Bus Console. The methods in the SessionManagementMBean
interface directly parallel the interactive features provided in the AquaLogic Service Bus Console, and require execution in the same order as their GUI counterparts. The following table lists the methods available in the SessionManagementMBean
interface and the tasks they perform.
For reference material on the SessionManagementMBean
interface and Java usage examples, as well as sample code describing how to use MBeans from a Java client and in a script, see the
SessionManagementMBean Interface in the com.bea.wli.sb.management.configuration
package in the AquaLogic Service Bus Javadoc.
The
SessionManagementMBean Interface in the com.bea.wli.sb.management.configuration
package in the AquaLogic Service Bus javadoc includes example code illustrating how to create a session, how to obtain SessionManagementMBean for creating a session, and ALSBConfigurationMBean for operating on the session that is created and on core data, and so on.
The AquaLogic Service Bus ALSBConfigurationMBean
allows you to programmatically query, export and import resources, obtain validation errors, get and set environment values, and in general manage resource configuration in an AquaLogic Service Bus domain. AquaLogic Service Bus configurations are packaged as simple JARs containing AquaLogic Service Bus resources such as proxy services, WSDLs, and business services. These resources can span multiple projects, or contain only partial configuration information. For example, you can export only a subset of a project, a whole project, or subsets of resources from many projects.
The following sections describe how to use the ALSBConfigurationMBean
to perform these deployment activities from a Java client:
For reference material on the ALSBConfigurationMBean
interface, see the ALSBConfigurationMBean Interface in the com.bea.wli.sb.management.configuration
package in the AquaLogic Service Bus javadoc, which is available at the following URL:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13171_01/alsb/docs26/javadoc/
AquaLogic Service Bus configurations are created using the AquaLogic Service Bus Console, and are stored through export in .jar
files. After a configuration .jar
file has been exported, you can promote the configuration by importing it into a different AquaLogic Service Bus domain and changing the environment-specific values in the configuration to match those of the new environment.
The methods in the ALSBConfigurationMBean Interface allow you to manage resources in an AquaLogic Service Bus domain, including tasks such as:
and so on. See the
ALSBConfigurationMBean Javadoc for the comprehensive method summary for the ALSBConfigurationMBean
methods.
The methods in ALSBConfigurationMBean and the Customization Class allow you to update environment specific information. This includes.
and so on. See the ALSBConfigurationMBean Javadoc and the Customization Class Javadoc for a comprehensive summary of methods. Import customizations are supported by the ALSBImportPlan—see the ALSBImportPlan Class in the Javadoc.
You must update your security configuration and all other environment-specific settings interactively using the AquaLogic Service Bus Console. For information on configuring security, see Securing Inbound and Outbound Messages in the BEA AquaLogic Service Bus Console Online Help. For information on configuring other environment-specific settings, see Step 4. Deploy an AquaLogic Service Bus Configuration.
The ALSBConfigurationMBean Interface in the com.bea.wli.sb.management.configuration
package in the AquaLogic Service Bus javadoc includes example code illustrating how to import and export AquaLogic Service Bus configurations, how to change environment values, how to query resources, and so on.
The following deployment APIs (in the ALSBConfigurationMBean) are deprecated in AquaLogic Service Bus 2.6:
public ImportResult importUploaded(Collection<Ref> refs, boolean includeDependencies, boolean preserveExistingEnvValues, String passphrase) throws Exception;
was deprecated in 2.6 in favor of:
ImportResult importUploaded(ALSBImportPlan importPlan)throws Exception;
The latter API allows more import customizations via the ALSBImportPlan. For information about the ALSBImportPlan, see
Find environment values as indicated by the query and replace all occurrences of the environment value pattern (as returned by EnvValueQuery.getSearchString()) with the given parameter.
public int replaceEnvValues(EnvValueQuery query, String replacement) throws Exception;
Deprecated in 2.6 in favor of:
customize(List <Customization> customizations) throws Exception
in the ALSBConfigurationMBean.
Use FindAndReplaceCustomization for modifying environment values by doing string substitutions.
Set one or more environment values directly
public void assignEnvValues(Collection<QualifiedEnvValue> envValues) throws NotFoundException, UpdateException;
Deprecated in 2.6 in favor of:
customize(List <Customization> customizations) throws Exception
in the ALSBConfigurationMBean.
Use EnvValueCustomization for environment value assignments.
