Oracle Service Bus, jms request/response, response doesn't arrive

This week i was trying to make my proxyservice working in osb which was based on a jms transport, nothing fancy. Just a normal request/response messageflow and the response needed to be published on a different queue. After testing the flow from the console all worked fine, request pipeline completed, response pipeline completed, but no messages in the response queue. Looking at the definition of the proxyservice, we will notice the correlation pattern will make use of the...

Weblogic, side-by-side deployment

Weblogic Server supports a nice feature called side-by-side deployment (or versioned deployment). This function is extremely usefull when you need to deploy a new version of an application and still keep the old one up and running. So the running instances will still use the current version and all new instances will be able to invoke the new deployed version of the application. As soon as all the sessions who're using the old version of the application are expired, Weblogic will recognize it...

Oracle Service Bus, testing proxy services with Direct Calls

Today i stumbled on one of the features which is available on the testconsole page of a proxyservice. I was testing some flows in the Oracle Service Bus which made use of a XAConnectionFactory. The process made use of a proxyservice which gets a message out of a jmsqueue, routes it to an other businessservice, which eventually would put it back on some other queue. When the process was getting triggered by some other eai component which puts a message in the queue the process would...

Oracle Service Bus, xquery and optional parameters

We use custom soap headers to implement end-to-end tracking over all eai components. Those headers will get updated during transport over all components and will also get logged to the db, together with some other metadata. That info will be used to track and trace messages and problems. A soap-envelope will look like this : [sourcecode language='xml'] 3253252er5235432 iDOC 2001-12-17T09:30:47Z OK ...
