This document discusses how to dynamically set JCA properties for a File Move/Delete/Copy service in Oracle SOA 11.1.1.5. It describes creating a BPEL process with a File Services Adapter configured for synchronous file operations. The JCA file properties for source directory, source file name, target directory, and target file name can be dynamically set by mapping BPEL variables to the JCA input properties for the file move operation. An Assign activity is used to copy values to the variables to specify the source and target locations for the file move.

service.
Oracle SOA 11.1.1.5 Dynamically set JCA properties for File Move/Delete/Copy service.
This thread discusses how to dynamically set JCA properties for File Move/Delete/Copy
service. The service can then be used to MOVE, DELETE or COPY a file.
 Create a BPEL process.
 In the right Swim Lane (External References Swim Lane) configure a File Services
Adapter.
 Select Define from operation and schema (specified later), and click Next. The
Operation page is displayed.
 Select Synchronous Read File, enter FileMove in the Operation Name field, and then
click Next. The File Directories page is displayed.
 Alter the properties in the JCA file as follows
 <property name="SourcePhysicalDirectory" value="foo1"/>
 <property name="SourceFileName" value="bar1"/>
 <property name="TargetPhysicalDirectory" value="foo2"/>
 <property name="TargetFileName" value="bar2"/>
<property name="Type" value="MOVE"/>
 In the BPEL processa add the following variables.
<variable name="InvokeMoveOperation_FileMove_InputVariable"
messageType="ns1:Empty_msg"/>
<variable name="InvokeMoveOperation_FileMove_OutputVariable"
messageType="ns1:FileMove_msg"/>
<variable name="sourceDirectory" type="xsd:string"/>
<variable name="sourceFileName" type="xsd:string"/>
<variable name="targetDirectory" type="xsd:string"/>
<variable name="targetFileName" type="xsd:string"/>
 Create an Invoke activity for the JCA adapter.
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceDirectory"
variable="sourceDirectory"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceFileName"
variable="sourceFileName"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetDirectory"
variable="targetDirectory"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetFileName"
variable="targetFileName"/>
 Create an Assign activity and copy the variables.
