- 13. 13 BPEL Sub-processes Details aboutinline sub-process: – Group activities that can be re-used in the same BPEL process – It is part of the parent BPEL process code and not visible in composite view. – There is a new ‘call’ activity in BPEL to call a sub-process – You can define parameters or use the parent process parameters. – The inline sub-process is visible in the Activities (component) view. – Activities should be part of a scope to be converted to a sub-process. – At run-time, the code of the sub-process is reusable and can be parallel used. Only one copy is stored in the memory, even when it is invoked 20 times.
- 14. 14 BPEL Sub-processes Details aboutstandalone sub-process: – It is a fragment of a BPEL process, which includes a set of activities that can be reused by other BPEL processes. – A standalone sub-process has no interface, and can only be called by another BPEL process, but may have partnerlinks. – In the composite view, the wire to a sub-process is shown as a dotted line, in order to indicate that there is no interface. – The ‘call’ activity is used to call standalone sub-processes. – In the first release of 12c, sub-process can not be called from outside its own Composite, but it may change in the future. – Sub-processes are visible in the component view to make them easy to drag into a BPEL process.

Editor's Notes
- #5 In JDeveloper 12c the Component and Properties views undergone a metamorphosis. In the Components view the Components and adapters are now logically separated and it is possible to display the items in a list view.
- #6 In 12c the Properties view is finally used when developing SCA Composites and Service Bus Pipelines. It displays as it were, all the steps in the wizard or tabs of the dialog window of a component activity. Instead of editing the activity using the wizard you can now use the Properties view to make changes.
- #7 Share artifacts within and across applications In 12c it is now more then ever easy to use the MDS. It is now possible to transfer (local) artifacts from a SOA application to the Design-Time MDS. JDeveloper has a wizard to share design time artifacts such as WSDLs and Schemas across applications. After transferring the artifact the references are automaticly updated with MDS URL.
- #9 In 12c it is easier then ever to re-use at all levels within a SCA composite. Using the build-in template support you can kick-start a SCA Composite or add reusable components. There are three types of templates; SOA Project, Component and Custom Activity template. Templates are fully editable, one you apply them to you SCA Composite or BPEL component it is part of that composite or component. When you create a template all dependencies (partnerlinks) are also part of the template. Templates will be visible if they’re available in the template path, configured in JDev, but there is also an import wizard available to bring templates in from different system.
- #10 Project Templates With this kind of template you can create/load an entire project. Great example for this template is a skeleton project with default adapters and mediators (without wires) of use it for training purposes so that everybody starts with the same resources. Project templates are accessible at the time of new project creation directly, or when it is part of new application. Component Templates With this kind of template you can create/load a component with all his dependencies (resources and components). For example a BPEL process with default invocations to common services. This template can be automatically discovered in the component palette when in the Composite editor. Custom Activity Templates Similar to a standalone subprocess, only the code is added to existing BPEL process and dependencies are added to Composite. It can contain variables and activities (assign, invoke, transformation, etc). This template can be automatically discovered in the component palette when in the BPEL Component editor.
- #11 Project Templates With this kind of template you can create/load an entire project. Great example for this template is a skeleton project with default adapters and mediators (without wires) of use it for training purposes so that everybody starts with the same resources. Project templates are accessible at the time of new project creation directly, or when it is part of new application. Component Templates With this kind of template you can create/load a component with all his dependencies (resources and components). For example a BPEL process with default invocations to common services. This template can be automatically discovered in the component palette when in the Composite editor. Custom Activity Templates Similar to a standalone subprocess, only the code is added to existing BPEL process and dependencies are added to Composite. It can contain variables and activities (assign, invoke, transformation, etc). This template can be automatically discovered in the component palette when in the BPEL Component editor.
- #13 Re-use of BPEL code using Sub-processes Sometimes in BPEL you will do the same thing on multiple places within the same BPEL process. For futher re-use of code this release of SOA Suite 12c introduces BPEL Sub-processes. Sub-processes allow certain business logic to be made reusable. There are two types; standalone and inline. Inline Sub-processes permits access to data (variables) of the parent process, but with a standalone Sub-process the data needs to be assigned. Sub-processes are here to improve performance (faster rendering of only entity in question) and manageability (modular approach) of BPEL processes.
- #17 At the level of the Java callout an extra action Translate from Native is added. With this action you can transfrom a CSV/JSON/String element of the request to XML using a NXSD transformation. The transformed output can then be used in the routing rules of the Mediator. This action can be done on operation level, but also on a specific routing rule for that operation.
- #18 With this action you can override routing rule options using a DVM or Business Rules. Based on a element value of the request you can change the routing rule option dynamically. With the key value you have the possibility to override the XSLT transformation file, Filter expression, Execution Type, Syntax Validation (XSD), Semantic Validation (Schematron) file instead of creating a bunch of static routing rule.
- #19 The last noticeable change to the Mediator is that the graphical editor for the Assign action is the same as BPEL uses. You can create multiple copy rules by using drag and drop functionality.
- #22 Xquery Mapper is another new functionality in SOA 12c. There is 100% support for XQuery 1.0 There are XPath 2.0 plus user defined functions; As well as Library & main modules The Xquery mapper is user friendly and consistent with XSLT mapper interface There is a Test framework available. The developers can do ‘Run XQuery’, by doing a right click on the mapper file in the application navigator It is built for reuse in SOA & Service Bus
- #24 The XSLT Mapper in SOA 12c has been enhanced There is better support for very large and complex stylesheets It has Multi-template support There are Source & target structures from sample XML There are icons available at the top of the XSLT mapper that are packed with functionality related to: ‘XSLT execution sequence’ generation Testing capabilities
