This chapter describes how to configure transports on business and proxy services in the Oracle Service Bus IDE.
When you configure a business service or a proxy service, you must configure the transport used by the service. Each transport is configured on its own configuration page.
Each transport available for business services and proxy services has its own configuration page. Oracle Service Bus provides the following transports:

Role |
The BPEL transport is used to send request messages from Oracle Service Bus to Oracle BPEL Process Manager. The business service can serve one of the following roles:
Note: A Service Callback business service does not support load balancing or failover. |
Callback Proxy |
This optional field is available only for the Asynchronous Client role. This field lets you select the proxy service (must be either an SB or HTTP proxy of type Any SOAP) that will be used to route callbacks to the Oracle Service Bus client that made the request. |
Service Account |
For JNDI context security, used to access the Oracle BPEL Process Manager delivery service. Click Browse and select a service account. If no service account is specified, an anonymous subject is used. There is no restriction on the type of service account that can be configured, such as static or pass-through, but the run time must be able to access a user name and password. |
Suspend Transaction |
Selecting Suspend Transaction makes the business service non-transactional even if the business service is invoked by a transaction. If you do not select Suspend Transaction:
The BPEL transport ignores the Suspend Transaction option in the following situations:
|

Business Interface |
EJB 3.0 only – Select the business interface in the client JAR that you want to invoke. |
Target Namespace |
This field is populated by information picked up from the JAR. |
Style |
Select Document Wrapped or RPC according to your requirements. If two or more methods of your stateless session EJB have the same number and data type of parameters, and you want the operations to be document-oriented, you must specify that they be document-wrapped. The style is important because when routing or publishing to the EJB, |
Encoding |
Select Encoded or Literal. |
Methods |
The methods displayed are those of the EJB remote or business interface you selected. Select the required methods (you can select multiple methods). Click + to expand the method. Edit the default parameter values and select a converter if provided (or required). You must exclude the methods with parameters or return types that are not supported by the JAX-RPC stack or you must associate such arguments with converter classes. You can change the default operation name for a given method. (By default, the operation name is the method name.) If an EJB contains methods with same name, you must change the operation names so that they are unique—WSDLs require unique operation names. Note: If the credentials or transaction settings are different between the methods for a given EJB, you can customize the methods for a given business service, and create a business service per method. This gives you fine-grained control over transactions and credentials. |
Exceptions |
This field appears if a method throws a business exception. If an EJB method throws an exception that has data types not supported by Java Web Services (JWS), such as an ArrayList, use the Exceptions field to select a converter class that converts the exception to a type supported by JWS. Your converter class must implement com.bea.wli.sb.transports.ejb.ITypeConverter. Converter classes can only be configured for checked exceptions and not for run-time exceptions. Package the converter class and the converted exception class in the client or converter JAR.

Dynamic EndPoint Properties |
This option lets you pass request parameters to JCA-compliant services. For example, you can use a dynamic endpoint property to pass database query parameters to the Oracle JCA Adapter for Database. For more information on querying with parameters, see “Oracle JCA Adapter for Database” in the Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Technology Adapters at Enter a name/value pair for each dynamic endpoint property you want to provide. The endpoint property key matches the query parameter name. Use this section to add and configure endpoint properties for custom adapters. |
Always use configuration from JCA file |
This option determines whether or not Activation Spec Properties (proxy services) and Interaction Spec Properties (business services) are always used from the JCA file. If this option is selected (default), the JCA transport interacts with the JCA framework using the activation/interaction spec properties in the JCA file. If this option is deselected, you can override the Activation/Interaction Spec Properties. For the redeployment impact of using this option, see “Endpoint Redeployment” in the “JCA Transport” chapter of the Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Service Bus at |

Enter a response URI in the format: jms://host:port/connection_factory/jndi_destination To target multiple servers, use the following format: jms://host1:port,host2:port/connection_factory/jndi_destination You can also omit the host and port in the response URI. For example: jms:///connection_factory/jndi_destination When you omit host and port, the connection factory/destination lookup occurs on the local server. This is useful, for example, if the request URI goes to a foreign connection factory/destination, but you want the response sent to the local server. Note: While Oracle WebLogic Server allows forward slashes in JNDI names, such as "myqueues/myqueue", JNDI names with forward slashes interfere with the URI format required by Oracle Service Bus, and you cannot use those names. To work around this issue, define a JMS foreign server and reference that foreign server in the URI. For more information, see "Configure foreign servers" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help at |
Request Responses |
This option is available when you select the One per Request URI response option for the JMSCorrelationID pattern to provide response failover. For each request URI entered on the generic Transport page, enter a Response URI, as described in the previous Response URI field. You can select an optional Service Account for JMS/JNDI credentials that the service uses for both the request and response queues. |
Target - Responses |
This option is available when you select the One for all Request URIs response option for the JMSMessageID pattern. Enter the name of the Target server that is to receive responses, and enter a Response URI, as described in the Response URI field. |
Request Connections |
This option is available when you select the One per Request URI response option for the JMSMessageID pattern to provide response failover. For each request URI, identified sequentially by number in the Seq.No field, optionally enter a JMS Connection Factory name. If you do not enter a name, the JMS transport uses the connection factory from the request URI. You can select an optional Service Account for JMS/JNDI credentials that the service uses for both the request and response queues. |
Target - Destinations |
This option is available when you select the One per Request URI response option for the JMSMessageID pattern to provide response failover. Use this field in conjunction with Request Connections. Each Target server listed (determined by the servers in the current domain), such as Managed Servers in a cluster, lists the request URIs by Seq.No, which correspond to those in the Request Connections field. For each request URI on each target, enter the Destination queue on that target server that receives responses. Note: Because the Oracle Service Bus development environment supports only a one-server environment, only one Target is listed. To configure this field in a multi-server environment, deploy this service to the run-time environment and complete the service configuration in the Oracle Service Bus Administration Console. |
JMS Service Account |
This option is available when you use the None or One for all Request URIs option in the Response Queues field. Select a service account to use for the JMS resource managed by the JMS server. A service account is an alias resource for a user ID and password, used for both the request and response. The same service account is used for both JMS and JNDI purposes. This field is mutually exclusive with the Pass Caller's Subject option. Use one or the other for JMS/JNDI authentication. For more information, see Section 2.1.15, "Creating Service Account Resources." |
Use SSL |
Select this option only if the requests are made over a TLS/SSL connection. TLS/SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) provides secure connections by allowing two applications connecting over a network to authenticate the other's identity and by encrypting the data exchanged between the applications. Authentication allows a server, and optionally a client, to verify the identity of the application on the other end of a network connection. Additionally, if the administrator has restricted access to individual JMS destinations (queues or topics) by setting access control on the JNDI entry for the destination, the service must authenticate when looking up the entry in the JNDI tree. Authenticate using a Service Account or the Pass Caller's Subject option. Note: The JMS transport does not support two-way SSL. |
Expiration |
The time interval in milliseconds after which the message expires. Default value is 0, which means that the message never expires. |
Enable Message Persistence |
The JMS delivery mode the service uses, which lets you balance reliability with throughput. Select this option (default) for guaranteed message delivery. Deselect this option to improve throughput if an occasional lost message is tolerable. |
Unit of Order |
Enter a message unit-of-order. Message unit-of-order enables message producers to group messages into a single unit with respect to the processing order. This single unit-of-order requires that all messages in that unit be processed sequentially in the order they were created. |
Pass Caller's Subject |
Select this check box to have Oracle Service Bus pass the authenticated subject when sending a message. When you enable this field and the business service targets JMS resources in a different domain, enable global trust on both domains. See "Configuring Security for a WebLogic Domain" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Securing Oracle WebLogic Server at This field is mutually exclusive with the Service Account option. Use one or the other for JMS/JNDI authentication. |
JNDI Timeout |
The JNDI connection timeout (in seconds) used while looking up the destination or connection factory in the JNDI tree. The default, zero (0), means the connection never times out. |

Response URI |
This option is available only when JMSCorrelationID is selected for the Response Correlation Pattern. Enter a response URI in the format: jms://host:port/connection_factory/jndi_destination To target multiple servers, use the following format: jms://host1:port,host2:port/connection_factory/jndi_destination You can also omit the host and port in the response URI. For example: jms:///connection_factory/jndi_destination When you omit host and port, the connection factory/destination lookup occurs on the local server. This is useful, for example, if the request URI goes to a foreign connection factory/destination, but you want the response sent to the local server. Note: While Oracle WebLogic Server allows forward slashes in JNDI names, such as "myqueues/myqueue", JNDI names with forward slashes interfere with the URI format required by Oracle Service Bus, and you cannot use those names. To work around this issue, define a JMS foreign server and reference that foreign server in the URI. For more information, see "Configure foreign servers" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help at |
Response Connection Factory |
This option is available only when JMSMessageID is selected for the Response Correlation Pattern. Enter a response connection factory URI. If a connection factory is not specified, the connection factory for the request is used for the response. |
JMS Service Account |
Select a service account to use for the JMS resource managed by the JMS server. A service account is an alias resource for a user ID and password, used for both the request and response. The same service account is used for both JMS and JNDI purposes. For more information, see Section 2.1.15, "Creating Service Account Resources." |
Use SSL |
Select this option only if the requests are made over a TLS/SSL connection. TLS/SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) provides secure connections by allowing two applications connecting over a network to authenticate the other's identity and by encrypting the data exchanged between the applications.

Durable Subscription |
This option is available only if Topic is selected for the Destination Type. Select this check box if the subscription is durable or leave it blank if the subscription is not durable |
Retry Count |
Enter the number of delivery retries a message can have before it is moved to the error destination. This field only applies to Oracle WebLogic Server JMS destinations. |
Retry Interval |
Enter the amount of time, in milliseconds, before rolled back or recovered messages are redelivered. This field only applies to Oracle WebLogic Server JMS destinations. |
Error Destination |
Enter the name of the target destination for messages that have reached their redelivery limit. This field only applies to Oracle WebLogic Server JMS destinations. |
Expiration Policy |
Select an Expiration Policy to use when an expired message is encountered on a destination. This field only applies to Oracle WebLogic Server JMS destinations. |
Is XA Required |
Select this check box if your connection factory is XA. This value is into account when the remote connection factory is unavailable. If your connection factory is available and this value is true, make sure that the connection factory is defined as transactional. |
Topic Messages Distribution |
This option is available when you select Topic for the Destination Type. Topic Messages Distribution provides different options for handling inbound JMS messages and providing high availability and failover. Select one of the following properties to determine how message-driven beans handle incoming JMS messages:
Note: For topic destinations deployed on Oracle WebLogic Server prior to version 10.3.4, the only valid option is Compatibility. The "One Copy" options you select for Topic Messages Distribution override the Subscription Sharing Policy and/or Client ID Policy configured on the JMS Connection Factory. |
Target |
This option is available only in an Oracle Service Bus cluster when you select Compatibility for the Topic Messages Distribution option. Select the target server that will handle incoming JMS messages. If you select one of the "One Copy" options for Topic Messages Distribution, this field displays the name of the cluster. If you do not set a target, the JMS proxy service instance (reading messages off the Topic) on each Managed Server in the cluster gets a copy of the message. |
JNDI Timeout |
The JNDI connection timeout (in seconds) used while looking up the destination or connection factory in the JNDI tree. |
Before you use the MQ transport, you must configure a MQ Connection resource. See Section 2.6, "Working with MQ Connections."

Table 3-23 describes the transport-specific configuration options for the SOA-DIRECT transport.
Table 3-23 SOA-DIRECT Transport Configuration
Property | Description |
---|---|
JNDI Service Account |
Optional. Specifies the security credentials for the JNDI lookup of the target SOA service. The service account must be static. Click Browse and select a service account. If you do not specify a service account, an anonymous subject is used. |
Role |
Required. Identifies the communication pattern the service uses. Select one of the following options:
There is no load balancing or failover for Callback services. |
Callback Proxy |
Optional. Enabled only for the Asynchronous Client role. This option lets you specify the proxy service that receives callbacks. When you select a callback proxy, if no WS-Addressing is provided by the request or the proxy service pipeline, Oracle Service Bus automatically populates the ReplyTo property in the SOAP header. You must select a WSDL proxy service that uses the SB transport (for RMI), and the callback proxy service must understand WS-Addressing. WS-Addressing properties that are sent in the request or set in the proxy service pipeline are used instead of the callback proxy you set in this option. If you do not specify a Callback Proxy, and the request does not contain ReplyTo properties, you must provide ReplyTo properties in the SOAP header through the proxy service pipeline. |
Fault Proxy |
This option is not currently supported. You must configure your callback services to handle faults in an asynchronous pattern. |
WS-Addressing Version |
Required. Enabled only for the Asynchronous Client role. Specify the default WS-Addressing version to use when no WS-Addressing is provided in the request or the proxy service pipeline. WS-Addressing properties that are sent in the request or set in the proxy service pipeline are used instead of the WS-Addressing version you set in this option. For WS-Addressing version mismatches between environments, perform any necessary transformations in the proxy service pipeline. |
Dispatch Policy |
