33 Configuring Service and Reference Binding Components

This chapter describes how to configure properties for web service and JCA adapter service and reference binding components that are included in SOA composite applications. Binding components are network protocols and services that connect the SOA platform with the outside world.

This chapter includes the following topic:

For more information about binding components, see the following documentation:

Notes:

33.1 Configuring Service and Reference Binding Component Properties

You can configure message header properties for the service and reference binding components included in a deployed SOA composite application.

  1. Access this page through one of the following options:

    From the SOA Infrastructure Menu... From the SOA Folder in the Navigator... From the SOA Composite Menu...
    1. Select Services and References.
    2. Select a specific service or reference.

    3. Click the Properties tab.

    1. Right-click soa-infra.
    2. Select Services and References.

    3. Select a specific service or reference.

    4. Click the Properties tab.

    1. Select Services/Reference Properties.
    2. Select a specific service or reference.

    Description of the illustration bc_properties2.gif

  2. Change properties based on your selection of binding component. See sections Section 33.1.1, "Configuring Properties for Web Services" and Section 33.1.2, "Configuring Properties for Oracle JCA Adapters" for available properties.

    Note:

    To see adapter header properties and their values on this page, ensure that you change the value of the Audit Level property from Production (the default) to Development in the SOA Infrastructure Common Properties page. If this property is set to Production, the properties and their values do not display.

33.1.1 Configuring Properties for Web Services

Table 33-1 describes the properties available for a web service binding component.

Table 33-1 Web Service Properties

Service, Reference, or Endpoint Property Name Description

Service

REST Enabled

Enable or disable the web services port to accept messages in Representational State Transfer (REST) format.

Service

WSDL Enabled

Enable or disable the WSDL of the web service.

Service

Metadata Exchange Enabled

Enable or disable a metadata exchange of the web service.

Service

Endpoint Test Enabled

Enable or disable an endpoint test of the web service.

Service

Logging Level

Select the level of logging to perform on the web service.

Service

Schema Validation

Enable or disable schema validation.

Service

Atomic Transaction Version

Select the WS-AtomicTransaction (WS-AT) supported version (1.0, 1,1, 1,2, or default).

Service

Atomic Transaction Flow Option

Select the transaction participation value:

  • Never

    No transaction context is imported (for services) or exported (for references).

  • Supports

    If a transaction exists, a transaction context is imported (for services) or exported (for references). This information is added to the composite.xml file.

  • Mandatory

    A transaction context is imported (for services) or exported (for references). For exports, a web service exception message is thrown if there is no active transaction. For imports, a fault is returned to the client if there is no transaction context in the request.

Service

Maximum Request Size

Enter the maximum request size of the web service. A value of -1 indicates the size is unlimited.

Service

Unit of Maximum Request Size

Select the request unit of the web service (either bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes).


33.1.2 Configuring Properties for Oracle JCA Adapters

Note that if you manually add a nonregistered JCA binding level property in the composite.xml file, then you cannot subsequently edit that property or also any other registered properties for that service or reference through Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. Table 33-2 describes the JCA adapter property types.

Table 33-2 Types of JCA Adapters

Property Type Description Restrictions

Activation specification and interaction specification

Activation specification properties operate as services and interaction specification properties operate as references in a SOA composite application.

Do not add or remove these properties. You can only change their values.

These properties require the adapter endpoint to be recycled. These types of properties are also dependent upon other properties. If you attempt to add one of these properties, you have no way of knowing which dependent properties must also be added.

Endpoint

These are tuning-related properties that are not exposed through the activation or interaction specification properties, such as specifying time outs, thresholds, maximum intervals, and so on.

There are no restrictions on adding, removing, or changing endpoint properties. The adapter is notified when these properties are added, removed, or changed, but it does not require redeployment.

Note that you cannot add or remove jca.retry.* endpoint properties without redeploying the composite. However, you can change these properties by using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control without redeploying the composite.

33.1.2.3 Oracle File Adapter

Table 33-5 describes the properties available for the Oracle File adapter.

Table 33-5 Oracle File Adapter Properties

Service, Reference, or Endpoint Property Name Description

Service

PhysicalDirectory

Specifies the physical directory for the file/FTP adapter.

Service

UseHeaders

Set to true if the file/FTP adapter must publish metadata (for example, the file name, directory name, last modified data, file size, and to exclude the payload). This is typically used in large payload scenarios where you want to use the inbound adapter as a notifier.

Service

Recursive

If set to true, the file/FTP adapter processes files recursively in subdirectories.

Service

PhysicalArchiveDirectory

Directory in which the inbound file/FTP adapter archives files after they have been processed successfully.

Service

PhysicalErrorArchiveDirectory

Indicates the directory where the inbound file/FTP adapter archives files in case of failures, such as translation errors, and errors during publishing.

Service

DeleteFile

If set to true, the file/FTP adapter deletes the file after it has been processed.

Service

IncludeFiles

Indicates the regex pattern against which the file names are matched. If the name of a certain file matches this pattern, it is processed by the file/FTP adapter.

Service

ExcludeFiles

Indicates the regex pattern against which the file names are matched. If the name of a certain file matches this pattern, it is excluded and not processed by the file/FTP adapter.

Service

PollingFrequency

This parameter specifies how often does the file/FTP adapter looks for files in the inbound directory. It is specified in seconds.

Service

MinimumAge

This parameter specifies the time interval after which to pick up a file for processing. For example, this enables a large file to be completely copied into the directory before it is retrieved for processing. The age is determined by the last modified time stamp. For example, if you know that it takes three to four minutes for a file to be written, set the minimum age of pollable files to five minutes. If a file is detected in the input directory and its modification time is less than 5 minutes older than the current time, the file is not retrieved because it is still potentially being written to.

Service

PublishSize

This parameter indicates that a file contains multiple messages and specifies how many messages to process simultaneously. For example, if a certain file has 11 records and this parameter is set to 2, then the file is processed 2 records at a time and the final record is processed in the sixth iteration.

Service

Lenient

If set to true, then the file adapter does not complain if it does not have enough permission to read/write to the inbound directory. By default, this is set to false.

Service

TriggerFilePhysicalDirectory

The directory path where the file/FTP adapter looks for the trigger files.

Service

TriggerFile

The name of the trigger file that causes the inbound file/FTP adapter to be activated.

Service

TriggerFileStrategy

This parameter defines the strategy that the file/FTP adapter uses to look for the specified trigger file in the trigger file directory. The acceptable values are EndpointActivation, EveryTime, or OnceOnly.

Service

MaxRaiseSize

This parameter specifies the maximum number of files that the file/FTP adapter submits for processing in each polling cycle. For example, if the inbound directory has 1000 files and this parameter is set to 100 and the polling frequency is one minute, then the file/FTP adapter submits 100 files every minute.

Service

DirectorySeparator

When you choose multiple directories, the generated JCA files use \";\" as the separator for these directories. If you want, you can change the separator. If you do change it, manually add DirectorySeparator=\"<<chosen separator>>\" in the generated JCA file. For example, to use a comma (,) as the separator, you must first change the separator to \",\" in the physical directory and then add DirectorySeparator=\",\" in the JCA file.

Service

AsAttachment

If set to true, it causes the inbound file to be published as an attachment.

Service

CharacterSet

Set it to the character set for the attachment. This parameter is not used internally by the file/FTP adapter and is meant for third party applications that process the attachments published by the file/FTP adapter.

Service

Encoding

Set it to the encoding for the attachment. This parameter is not used internally by the file/FTP adapter and is meant for third party applications that process the attachments published by the file/FTP adapter.

Service

ContentType

Set it to the Mime-Type for the attachment. This parameter is not used internally by the file/FTP adapter and is meant for third party applications that process the attachments published by the file/FTP adapter.

Service

ListSorter

Specifies the sorter that the file/FTP adapter uses to sort files in the inbound direction. You can set this parameter to \"oracle.tip.adapter.file.inbound.listing.TimestampSorterAscending\" or \"oracle.tip.adapter.file.inbound.listing.TimestampSorterDescending\". You can also plug in your own sorter by writing a class that implements \"java.util.Comparator\".

Service

SingleThreadModel

If the value is true, the file/FTP adapter poller processes files in the same thread; it does not use the global in-memory queue for processing.

Service

ThreadCount

If this parameter is available, the adapter creates its own processor threads rather than depending on the global thread pool processor threads (by default, four of them). This parameter partitions the in-memory queue and each composite application gets its own in-memory queue. If the ThreadCount is set to \"0\", then it behaves in the same manner as the single thread model. If ThreadCount is set to \"-1\", then it starts using the global thread pool. The maximum value for this property is 40.

Service

recoveryInterval

Used by the inbound adapter to configure the recovery interval in case of errors. For example, if the physical directory is nonexistent, then the adapter uses this value to perform periodic sleep/wake ups to check if the physical directory has been created and is accessible.

Reference

PhysicalDirectory

Specifies the physical directory for the file/FTP adapter.

Reference

NumberMessages

Specifies the outbound file naming convention used.

Reference

ElapsedTime

This parameter is used for outbound batching. When the time specified elapses, the outgoing file is created. The parameter is of type String and is not mandatory. The default value is 1.

Reference

FileSize

Indicates if an opaque schema is being used.

Reference

FileNamingConvention

This parameter is for the naming convention for the outbound write operation file.

Reference

FileName

Use this parameter to specify a static single file name during the write operation.

Reference

Append

Setting this parameter to \"true\" causes the file/FTP adapter to append to a file in the outbound direction. If the file does not exist, a new file is created.

Reference

UseStaging

If \"true\", then the outbound file/FTP adapter writes translated data to a staging file and afterward streams the staging file to the target file. If \"false\", then the outbound file/FTP adapter does not use an intermediate staging file.

Reference

ConcurrentThreshold

The maximum number of translation activities that can be allowed to execute in parallel for a particular outbound scenario. The translation step during the outbound operation is CPU intensive and hence must to be guarded as it may cause starvation in other applications/threads. The maximum is 100 (same as the maximum for dspMaxThreads in BPEL).

Reference

SequenceName

Specifies the Oracle database sequence name to be used if you have already configured the outbound file/FTP adapter for high availability.

Reference

oracle.tip.adapter.file.mutex

Set it to the class name that specifies the mutex you want to use for the outbound write operation. This class must extend the "oracle.tip.adapter.file.Mutex" abstraction.

Reference

serializeTranslation

If set to \"true\", then the translation step is serialized using a semaphore. The number of permits for semaphore (guarding the translation step) comes from the ConcurrentThreshold parameter. If \"false\", then the translation step occurs outside the semaphore.

Reference

inMemoryTranslation

This parameter is applicable only if UseStaging is \"false\". If set to \"true\", then the translation step occurs in-memory (that is, an in-memory byte array is created). If set to \"false\", then the adapter creates an output stream to the target file (FTP, FTPS, and SFTP included) and allows the translator to translate and write directly to the stream.

Reference

DeleteFile

If set to \"true\", the file/FTP adapter deletes the file after it has been processed.

Reference

IgnoreZeroByteFile

Set it to true if you do not want the file/FTP adapter to throw an exception during the outbound read operation if the file was not found. This parameter is ignored if the schema for the inbound file is anything other than opaque.

Reference

IncludeFiles

Indicates the regex pattern against which the file names are matched. If the name of a certain file matches this pattern, it is processed by the file/FTP adapter.

Reference

ExcludeFiles

Includes the regex pattern against which the file names are matched. If the name of a certain file matches this pattern, it is excluded and not processed by the file/FTP adapter.

Reference

Recursive

If set to true, the file/FTP adapter processes files recursively in subdirectories.

Reference

MaxRaiseSize

This parameter specifies the maximum number of files that the file/FTP adapter submits for processing in each polling cycle. For example, if the inbound directory has 1000 files and this parameter is set to 100 and the polling frequency is one minute, then the file/FTP adapter submits 100 files every minute.

Reference

DirectorySeparator

When you choose multiple directories, the generated JCA files use \";\" as the separator for these directories. If you want, you can change the separator. If you do so, manually add DirectorySeparator=\"<<chosen separator>>\" in the generated JCA file. For example, to use a comma (,) as the separator, you must first change the separator to \",\" in the physical directory and then add DirectorySeparator=\",\" in the JCA file.

Reference

SourceFileName

The source file for the file I/O operation.

Reference

SourcePhysicalDirectory

The source directory for the file I/O operation.

Reference

SourceType

Set this to \"native\" if the source file is native and to \"xml\" if the source file is XML.

Reference

SourceSchema

Set it to the schema for the source file.

Reference

SourceSchemaRoot

Set it to the root element name for the source file.

Reference

TargetFileName

Indicates the target file for the file I/O operation.

Reference

ThreadCount

If this parameter is available, the adapter creates its own processor threads rather than depending on the global thread pool processor threads (by default, 4 of them). In other words, this parameter partitions the in-memory queue and each composite application gets its own in-memory queue. If the ThreadCount is set to \"0\", then it behaves in the same manner as the SingleThreadModel. If the ThreadCount is set to \"-1\", then it starts using the global thread pool. The maximum value for this property is 40.

Service

recoveryInterval

Used by the inbound adapter to configure the recoveryInterval in case of errors. For example, if the PhysicalDirectory is nonexistent, then the adapter uses this value to perform periodic sleep/wake ups to check if the PhysicalDirectory has been created and is accessible.

Service

jca.message.encoding

This parameter is used to override the encoding specified in the NXSD schema for the inbound file/FTP adapter.

Service

oracle.tip.adapter. file.debatching. rejection.quantum

This property lets you control the size of a rejected message for the inbound file/FTP adapter partner link. For example, if you set it to \"100\", it causes the file/FTP adapter to reject 100 lines from the file since the actual file is too large.

Service

useFileSystem

This parameter is used by the inbound file/FTP adapter during read-only polling in a clustered environment. Setting it to \"true\" causes the adapter to use the file system to store metadata about files that have been already processed. Setting it to \"false\" causes the adapter to use a database table.

Service

oracle.tip.adapter. file.timeout.recover picked.minutes

Used by the inbound high-availability adapter when using \"FILEADAPTER_IN\" as the coordinator. When a file is first claimed (enqueued) by a node for processing, the FILE_PROCESSED column in FILEADAPTER_IN is set to \"0\". At a later point in time, when one of the decoupled processor threads picks up the file for processing, the value of FILE_PROCESSED column is updated from \"0\" to \"1\". When the file is processed completely, the FILE_PROCESSED column is updated from \"1\" to \"2\". However, if the processor thread picks up a file, but the node crashes before it can process the file, then the file is never processed. This parameter is used to \"undo\" the pick operation. The adapter does this by deleting the entries in the FILEADAPTER_IN table that have been picked up, but not processed within the value specified here.

Service

oracle.tip.adapter. file.timeout. recoverunpicked.minutes

Used by the inbound high-availability adapter when using \"FILEADAPTER_IN\" as the coordinator. When a file is first claimed by a node for processing, the FILE_PROCESSED column in FILEADAPTER_IN is set to \"0\". At a later point in time, when the decoupled-processor thread picks up the file for processing, the value of the FILE_PROCESSED column is updated from \"0\" to \"1\". When the file is processed completely, the FILE_PROCESSED column is updated from \"1\" to \"2\". If the node crashes when the FILE_PROCESSED is still \"0\", the file is enqueued by a node (this means no other nodes can pick this one up). However, it also means that the decoupled processor threads have still not picked this one for processing. This parameter is used to \"undo\" the claim(enqueue_ operation. The adapter does this by deleting the entries in the FILEADAPTER_IN table that have been claimed (for example, FILE_PROCESSED ==\"0\"), but not picked up until now.

Service

purgeIntervalMillis

Defines how often the poller thread purges control files for read-only polling scenarios. This defaults to 5 days.

Service

oracle.tip.adapter.file. highavailability. maxRetryInterval

The number of milliseconds after which the inbound file/FTP adapter retries to establish a database connection in distributed polling scenarios.

Service

oracle.tip.adapter.file. highavailability.maxRetry

The number of times that the inbound file/FTP adapter retries to establish a database connection in distributed polling scenarios.

Service

oracle.tip.adapter. file.rejectOriginalContent

Setting to \"true\" causes the file/FTP adapter to reject the original actual content. If set to \"false\", the adapter rejects the XML data created because of the translation step.

Service

notifyEachBatchFailure

Setting to \"true\" causes the file/FTP adapter to call the notification agent's onBatchFailure every time an error occurs in a debatching scenario. If set to \"false\", the file/FTP adapter calls onBatchFailure only once after all messages in the debatching scenario.

Reference

PhysicalDirectory

The directory path for the file/FTP adapter.

Reference

FileType

Set it to either \"ascii\" or \"binary\", depending on the requirement.

Reference

NumberMessages

This parameter is used for outbound batching. The outgoing file is created when the number of messages condition is met. The parameter is of type String and is not mandatory. The default value is 1.

Reference

ElapsedTime

This parameter is used for outbound batching. When the time specified elapses, the outgoing file is created. The parameter is of type String and is not mandatory. The default value is 1.

Reference

FileSize

This parameter is used for outbound batching. The outgoing file is created when the file size condition is met. The parameter is of type String and is not mandatory. The default value is 1000 KB.

Reference

FileNamingConvention

This parameter is for the naming convention of the outbound write operation file.

Reference

FileName

Use this parameter to specify a static single file name during the write operation.

Reference

Append

Setting this parameter to \"true\" causes the file/FTP adapter to append to a file in the outbound direction. If the file does not exist, a new file is created.

Reference

UseStaging

If \"true\", then the outbound file/FTP adapter writes translated data to a staging file and afterward streams the staging file to the target file. If \"false\", then the outbound file/FTP adapter does not use an intermediate staging file.

Reference

ConcurrentThreshold

The maximum number of translation activities allowed to execute in parallel for a particular outbound scenario. The translation step during the outbound operation is CPU intensive and must to be guarded as it may cause starvation in other applications/threads. The maximum value is 100 (same as the maximum value for dspMaxThreads in BPEL).

Reference

SequenceName

Specifies the Oracle database sequence name to use if you have already configured the outbound file/FTP adapter for high availability.

Reference

oracle.tip.adapter. file.mutex

Set it to the class name that specifies the mutex you want to use for the outbound write operation. This class must extend the \"oracle.tip.adapter.file.Mutex\" abstraction.

Reference

serializeTranslation

If set to \"true\", then the translation step is serialized using a semaphore. The number of permits for semaphore (guarding the translation step) comes from the ConcurrentThreshold parameter. If \"false\", then the translation step occurs outside the semaphore.

Reference

inMemoryTranslation

This parameter is applicable only if UseStaging is \"false\". If set to \"true\", then the translation step occurs in-memory (that is, an in-memory byte array is created). If set to \"false\", then the adapter creates an output stream to the target file (FTP, FTPS, and SFTP included) and allows the translator to translate and write directly to the stream.

Reference

FileType

Set it to either \"ascii\" or \"binary\", depending on the requirement.

Reference

UseRemoteArchive

Set this parameter to \"true\" to notify the FTP adapter that the archival directory is on the same FTP server. If set to \"false\", the FTP adapter uses a local file system folder for archival.

Reference

DeleteFile

If set to \"true\", the file/FTP adapter deletes the file after it has been processed.

Reference

IgnoreZeroByteFile

Set it to \"true\" if you do not want the file/FTP adapter to throw an exception during the outbound read operation if the file was not found. This parameter is ignored if the schema for the inbound file is anything other than \"Opaque\".

Reference

IncludeFiles

Indicates the regex pattern against which the file names are matched. If the name of a certain file matches this pattern, it is processed by the file/FTP adapter.

Reference

ExcludeFiles

Indicates the regex pattern against which the file names are matched. If the name of a certain file matches this pattern, it is excluded and not processed by the file/FTP adapter.

Reference

Recursive

If set to \"true\", the file/FTP adapter processes files recursively in subdirectories.

Reference

MaxRaiseSize

This parameter specifies the maximum number of files that the file/FTP adapter submits for processing in each polling cycle. For example, if the inbound directory has 1000 files and this parameter is set to 100 and the polling frequency is one minute, the file/FTP adapter submits 100 files every minute.

Reference

DirectorySeparator

When you choose multiple directories, the generated JCA files use \";\" as the separator for these directories. If you want, you can change the separator. If you do, manually add DirectorySeparator=\"<<chosen separator>>\" in the generated JCA file. For example, to use a comma (,) as the separator, you must first change the separator to \",\" in the physical directory and then add DirectorySeparator=\",\" in the JCA file.

Reference

UseNlst

Set this parameter to \"true\" if you need the FTP adapter to use the \"NLST\" FTP command instead of \"LIST\" that the adapter uses by default.

Reference

timestampOffset

This parameter is used by the FTP adapter to tackle time zone issues (typically, to convert the time difference between the FTP server and the system on which the FTP adapter is running to milliseconds).

Reference

SourceFileName

Indicates the source file for the file I/O operation.

Reference

SourcePhysicalDirectory

Indicates the source directory for the file I/O operation.

Reference

33.1.2.8 Oracle JCA Adapters Endpoint Properties

Table 33-10 describes the endpoint properties available for the Oracle JCA Adapters.

You cannot add or remove the endpoint properties without redeploying the composite. However, you can change the endpoint properties by using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control without redeploying the composite.

Table 33-10 Oracle JCA Adapters Endpoint Properties

Direction (Inbound/Outbound) Property Name Description

Inbound

activationInstances

This property increases the number of polling (worker) threads for any inbound JCA resource adapter. It is only meant to help increase concurrency (scalability) for adapters that do not natively support multithreading. Since most of the adapters included with Oracle Fusion Middleware natively support multithreading, this setting is mostly useful to third party (custom) JCA adapters, which do not natively support multithreading. Set this property to the number of threads required for a particular JCA service (endpoint).

Inbound

UseWorkManager

By default, JCA adapters use the standard Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server work manager for starting polling (worker) threads. However, if you want a particular JCA service (endpoint) to use a custom (user-defined) work manager, then this property enables you to specify the name of a custom work manager. The work manager is only used to start the JCA Service (endpoint) for which this property has been defined.

Inbound

rejectUncorrelatedMessages

When native correlation is used to correlate an inbound asynchronous message with a previous outbound message (by way of defining a callback interface (for a reference) or by a midprocess receive (in BPEL)), the JCA framework normally tries to post the message to the composite, whether the inbound message can be correlated or not. By setting this property to true, the JCA framework rejects a message, which cannot be correlated (when native correlation is active).

Inbound

jca.retry.count

Indicates the maximum number of retries before rejection.

Inbound

jca.retry.interval

Indicates the time interval between retries (measured in seconds).

Inbound

jca.retry.backoff

Indicates the retry interval growth factor (positive integer).

Inbound

jca.retry.maxInterval

Indicates the maximum value of retry interval; that is, a cap if backoff is greater than 1.

Outbound

jca.retry.count

Indicates the maximum number of retries before throwing a retryable error condition back to the invoking service engine.

Outbound

jca.retry.interval

Indicates the time interval between retries (measured in seconds).

Outbound

jca.retry.backoff

Indicates the retry interval growth factor (positive integer).

Outbound

jca.retry.maxInterval

Indicates the maximum value of retry intervals; that is, a cap if the backoff is greater than 1.

Outbound

jca.retry.maxPeriod

Indicates the maximum total retry period. Retries do not occur longer than the value specified in this parameter.


The following examples show how to specify the endpoint properties in the composite.xml file in Oracle JDeveloper:

Example 1: Specifying Endpoint Properties - Inbound

<service name="Inbound">
  <interface.wsdl interface="http://xmlns...#wsdl.interface(Inbound_PortType)"/>
  <binding.jca config="Inbound_db.jca">
    <property name="jca.retry.interval">5</property>
    <property name="jca.retry.interval">1</property>
    <property name="jca.retry.backoff">2</property>
    <property name="jca.retry.maxInterval">6</property>
  </binding.jca>
</service>

Notice that the inbound property jca.retry.maxPeriod is not supported (like it is in the outbound direction).

Example 2: Specifying Endpoint Properties - Outbound

<reference name="Outbound">
  <interface.wsdl interface="http://xmlns...#wsdl.interface(Outbound_PortType)"/>
  <binding.jca config="Outbound_jms.jca">
    <property name="jca.retry.count">5</property>
    <property name="jca.retry.interval">1</property>
    <property name="jca.retry.backoff">2</property>
    <property name="jca.retry.maxInterval">6</property>
    <property name="jca.retry.maxPeriod">30</property>
  </binding.jca>
</reference>

33.1.3 Changing the Endpoint Reference and Service Key for Oracle Service Registry Integration

If a reference binding component of the SOA composite application is integrated with Oracle Service Registry (OSR), you can change the endpoint reference and service key in the General section of this page.

The UDDI ServiceKey field automatically displays the value of binding.ws property="oracle.soa.uddi.serviceKey" from the composite.xml file if you selected to use UDDI for runtime resolution of the endpoint.

You can edit the UDDI ServiceKey field after the SOA composite application has been deployed to either:

  • Change the value as needed.

  • Add it to a composite that did not use UDDI for runtime endpoint resolution.

The Endpoint Address field represents the endpoint location as defined with the ws.binding endpointURI property in the composite.xml file. The Endpoint Address field is not filled in after the SOA composite application has been deployed, but can override the endpoint location in the concrete WSDL.

The endpoint location order of precedence is as follows:

  • Dynamically set the binding oracle.soa.uddi.serviceKey at runtime in the UDDI ServiceKey field.

  • Dynamically set the binding property endpointURI at runtime in the Endpoint Address field.

  • Use the binding property value for oracle.soa.uddi.serviceKey in the composite.xml file (viewable and editable in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control).

  • Use the binding property value for endpointURI in the composite.xml file (viewable and editable in Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control).

  • Use the location specified in the concrete WSDL.

Figure 33-1 provides shows both fields.

Figure 33-1 Endpoint Reference and Service Key Properties

Description of Figure 33-1 follows
Description of "Figure 33-1 Endpoint Reference and Service Key Properties"

  1. In the UDDI ServiceKey field, change the service key to use during runtime.

  2. In the Endpoint Address field, enter the endpoint address to use during runtime.

You can edit both fields. The value for one field is selected and used based on what you selected in the UDDI Deployment Options dialog during design time. The changes to these fields are persisted in the composite.xml file during runtime.

For information about design-time tasks such as how to publish a business service, create a connection to the UDDI registry, and configure a SOA project to invoke a service from the registry, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle SOA Suite.

For information about how to set the inquiry URL during runtime, see Section 3.1, "Configuring SOA Infrastructure Properties."

33.1.3.1 Configuring Caching of WSDL URLs

Caching of endpoint WSDL URLs occurs by default during runtime. If an endpoint WSDL URL is resolved using the orauddi protocol, subsequent invocations retrieve the WSDL URLs from cache, and not from OSR. You can increase the amount of time that the endpoint WSDL URL is available in cache for inquiry by the service key with the UddiCacheLifetime property. This property invalidates the cache at specified time intervals. The default value is 86400 seconds. The minimum value is 300 seconds.

To configure endpoint caching of WSDL URLs:

  1. From the SOA Infrastructure menu, select Administration > System MBean Browser.

  2. Select Application Defined MBeans > oracle.as.soainfra.config > Server: soa_server1 > SoaInfraConfig > soa-infra > Attributes.

  3. Click the UddiCacheLifetime property on the right side of the page.

  4. Enter a value.

  5. Click Apply.
