MDS MetaData Service
MDS = centralized storage for artifacts that can be accessed both at design time and at run-time
Twoversions -> File MDS & Database MDS
Versioning in onlysupported in Database MDS
SOA Suite onlyuses the Database MDS
Compositescan have revisions
JDevelopercanuseboth
File MDS is the default
MDS is usedforvalidation and used in the creationprocess

Using MDS
Store your artifacts in a MDS apps folder
The SOA Suite DB MDS onlyallowsyou to addartifactsunder the apps folder.
Useforexampleoramds://apps/DVM/countries.dvm
JDeveloper MDS references are located in adf-config.xml ( /.adf/META-INF/ )

Use MDS in JDeveloper
Default File MDS is located at jdeveloper/integration/seed
Create an apps folder under seed
Createanapplicationorcompany folder under the apps folder
Addyourartifactsunderthisapplication folder

Use MDS in JDeveloper
Create a File MDS Connection
Lookupyourartifacts in the Resource Palette

Move the MDS to your workspace
Is part of your workspace -> Versioning & No conflicts
Add an extra MDS /apps entry to the adf-config.xml

Avoiding Invalid Composites
Invalid Composites can happen when
A Web Service is used as a Composite Reference and this WS is not up while starting SOA Suite
The Composite Reference is a Composite and this Composite is not active while this Composite becomes active

Why does this happen?
When the Composite is started, it tries to load the remote WSDL & XSD in one of the following:
Composite Imports
Composite References
Service Component componentType files

The Solution
The solution is MDS
Download the remote WSDL & XML schemas and put this in the MDS
Change the XML Schema imports of the WSDL so it’s valid and points to the MDS
If the Composite Reference is a Composite try to re-use the XSD

Composite Import
Open the composite.xml in source mode and change the imports

Composite Reference
Change the ui:wsdlLocation attribute
Binding.ws location attribute has the Endpoint URL

ComponentType files
Open the Service componentType files ( Mediator, BPEL) and change the ui:wsdlLocation attribute

Deployment Plan
Only need to change the location attribute of the binding.ws element

Deployment
Ways to deploy your Composites
JDeveloper -> only for Development.
JDeveloper SOA ANT scripts. Need some extra ANT scripting to make it useable
AIA has its own complete ANT deployment framework ( needs a license )
Resource Adapters & WebLogic artifacts
AIA deployment framework can do this
Your own WLST scripting & custom Resource Adapter Deployment

Deployment ANT Scripts
Need the SOA plugin
Located in jdeveloperbin
Build your ANT deployment framework around these scripts

Manual configuration of Resource Adapters
Use unique file name -> DB_Plan.xml or JMS_Plan.xml
In cluster configuration
Copy The Resource plan to every node of the cluster
Location of the plan must be the same on all servers
Update the plans on all server if there is a change
Put it on a shared storage

Your own Resource Adapter
Extract the WebLogic Resource Adapter ( Oracle_SOA1soaconnectors )
Remove the jars
Edit the weblogic-ra.xml and add your own entries ( use unique names -> conflicts)
Pack the Resource Adapter
Deploy the Resource Adapter
Set the deployment order after the original adapter

Deployment with AIA
Can also be used in Non AIA Projects
Configure AIA Deployment file
Available Deployment actions
JDBC DataSources
JMS Resources
MDS update
Start & shutdown WLS Server
Resource Adapters AQ, DB, JMS
EAR & WARS
Composites

AIA Deployment configuration
JDBC Datasource
JMS Queue
Update MDS
Shutdown Managed Server
Add an entry to the DB
Resource adapter
Deploy a WAR
Deploy a Composite

Testing your Composites
SOAPUI
Test cases are flexible and can be scripted
Stress LoadTest
Simulate (Mock) services but need to update your Composite References
SOA Suite TestSuite
Can’t test the Composite Service
Simulate Composite Reference
Bounded to 1 Composite
Unit Test output
AIA CAVS (CompositeApplicationValidation System)
Test and Simulate Services
Notbounded to 1 Composite
Combine Test cases withsimulation ( automatically updates endpoints )
Need a License

SOA Suite TestSuite
Create a TestSuite with some tests

SOA Suite TestSuite 2
Initiate a Message on a Service
Verify a response on a Wire
Emulate a response on a Wire

TestSuite in Enterprise Manager
Start Unit Tests
From ANT
From EM

AIA Composite Application Validation System
What can CAVS do for you
Create tests and validate responses
Simulate Adapter services in the ABCS Composites
Group tests
Combine Test and Simulators with Routing
Import / Export Definitions

CAVS Definitions

CAVS Test
Load the WSDL and select the operation
Define 1 or more Requests
Define 1 or more Responses and Generate XPATH

CAVS Simulator
Define the expected Request, Generate XPath and set its unique identifier ( For matching the request with the response)
Provide the matching Response

CAVS Routing
Activates CAVS Simulators, change the endpoints of the Compositereference to the simulators
Canbeused in a CAVS Test

Continuous Integration with Hudson
Hudson easy to install and manage
Support for ANT
Integration with SubVersion, CVS
Unit Test support
Dashboard

Hudson SOA Suite Job
Need to build your own ANT deployment
Checkout SVN
Compile
Package
Deploy
Unit Test
Evaluate
Report
