Multiple Runtime Endpoint Locations for Partner Link

Hello All,

 Hope you all are doing well!!!
Oracle SOA Suite provides support for specifying multiple partner link endpoint Locations. This capability is useful for failover purposes if the first endpoint is down.
“endpointURI” is the property that we need to add in partner link reference to support multiple endpoint location.
<property name=”endpointURI”>endpoint</property>
Below is sample code:
<reference name=”SayHello” ui:wsdlLocation=”SayHello.wsdl”>
<interface.wsdl interface=”http://xmlns.oracle.com/TestApplication/First/BPELProcess1#wsdl.interface(BPELProcess1)”/>
<binding.ws port=”http://xmlns.oracle.com/TestApplication/Second/BPELProcess1#wsdl.endpoint(bpelprocess1_client_ep/BPELProcess1_pt)”
location=”http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/First/bpelprocess1_client_ep?WSDL”>
<property name=”endpointURI”>http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/Second/bpelprocess1_client_ep</property>
</binding.ws>
</reference>
Location attribute in the binding.ws tag is default location for the partner link.
Location=http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/First/bpelprocess1_client_ep?WSDL
Endpoint inside “endpointURI” is the alternate endpoint URI.
We have 3 composites.
  1. TestComposite
  2. SayHello
  3. SayHelloAlternate
TestComposite is calling SayHello composite but it should call SayHelloAlternate composite which is alternate composite in case “SayHello” is down.
Sample Partner Link reference
<reference name=”SayHello” ui:wsdlLocation=”SayHello.wsdl”>
<interface.wsdl interface=”http://xmlns.oracle.com/TestApplication/SayHello/BPELProcess1#wsdl.interface(BPELProcess1)”/>
<binding.ws port=”http://xmlns.oracle.com/TestApplication/SayHello/BPELProcess1#wsdl.endpoint(bpelprocess1_client_ep/BPELProcess1_pt)”
location=”http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/SayHelloAlternate/bpelprocess1_client_ep?WSDL”><property name=”endpointURI”>http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/SayHello/bpelprocess1_client_ep</property></binding.ws></reference>
When both “SayHello” and “SayHelloAlternate” composites are up then TestApplication will invoke “SayHello” partner link. That means it will take endpoint from “property”
  • <property name=”endpointURI”>http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/SayHello/bpelprocess1_client_ep</property>
When SayHello is down then it will invoke “SayHelloAlternate” partner link. That means it will take endpoint from location attribute of the binding.ws tag
  • location=”http://localhost:8001/soa-infra/services/default/SayHelloAlternate/bpelprocess1_client_ep?WSDL”
@Note:This is different from Dynamic partener Links, Dynamic links are used when we need to decide end point based on some business logic and this is used to process request in any end point fail-over cases.

Oracle SOA 12C rest adapter with Custom HTTP headers

Most existing web applications are connected through web services, which are commonly known as SOAP services. More and more users are relying on mobile devices for communication, and they’re looking for lighter ways to access enterprise information on the go. REST services are the answer for the mobile device platform, because they get rapid responses and fast access to data. Oracle SOA Suite 12 c  provides a complete set of service infrastructure components for designing, deploying, and managing composite applications. Oracle SOA Suite 12 c  enables services to be created, managed, and orchestrated into composite applications and business processes. Some time we have need to send HTTP headers in REST service, In OSB we use header component and add what ever is needed but in oracle SOA 12C it's little bit different. Let see how we can do it. Create one SOA Application. Create one SOA Sample project inside SOA Application. Go to composite and drag drop REST ...
