SOA Resource Browser Dialog

1.46 SOA Resource Browser Dialog

Use to choose the type of resource required for the service or component you selected (for example, a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file for a simple object access protocol (SOAP) web service, an event definition file for an Oracle Mediator service component, a dictionary for a business rule component, and so on).

Select the method for choosing the resource from the list at the top.

Element	Description
File System	Enables you to select the required resource from the file system. This option is selected by default.
Resource Palette	Enables you to select the required resource from the applications and service-oriented architecture (SOA) projects already saved in the metadata service (MDS) repository. Application server and SOA-MDS connections display in the Resource Palette. MDS stores descriptions of available resources. You can create connections to both file-based and database-based MDS repositories and then browse for and select resources. When you select a resource from a file-based MDS repository, the appropriate wiring configuration is automatically performed. SOA composite applications, Enterprise Repository, and Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) registry business services also display as resources for selection. This enables you to invoke other SOA composite applications from your current application. Expand and select the service asset from the Oracle Enterprise Repository or UDDI Registry IDE connections to integrate it as an external reference in the SOA composite application. Business services are only available for selection as external references (the right swimlane), and not as exposed services. You must first create a connection with the Create UDDI Registry Connection wizard to browse for and select business services.
Application	Enables you to select the resources of other applications.
