Automatic XQuery unit tests for OSB projects

Within the OSB 10.3 you use XQuery code to perform data transformations. These transformations can be very complex. I am in favor of TDD and i want to use automatic tests for XQueries. You can use the OSB Console to test XQueries but this is not very practical with complex Queries and takes a lot of time.You can also use XQuery and JDeveloper to run XQueries and this inspired me to write a simple XQUnit module to test xqueries.
This blog shows you how to set up automatic tests with the use of JUnit, XMLUnit and Oracle XQuery engine.

The contraints for me were:
1) The XQuery code should be as-is, so no changes with scripts or whatever. The XQueries are used within the test framework as used within the OSB.
2) The XQuery engine of the WLS must be used. I could use some other XQuery engine, but this would not test the real WLS engine and still errors could occur runtime.
3) The test framework can be used within Java unit tests. This way it can also be used within Maven for instance.


XQuery transformations
XQueries are used within the OSB to perform data transformations. These XQuery modules use external variables that are binded to OSB $variables.

An example of such an XQuery (test.xq) is:
declare namespace wn = "http://www.example.com/werknemer/v1";
declare namespace xf = "http://tempuri.org/test/";
declare namespace np = "http://www.example.com/natuurlijkpersoon/v1";

declare function xf:Medewerker2Werknemer($medewerker as element())
    as element(wn:Werknemer) 
{
  
    
       {concat(data($medewerker/np:Voorvoegsels), " ",  
        data($medewerker/np:Achternaam))}
    
  
};

declare variable $medewerker external;
xf:Medewerker2Werknemer($medewerker)

As mentioned already i used some ideas from Biemond's blog to run an xquery. I added some constructions from XMLUnit and developed the following XQUnit code.
The libraries needed are:
* JUnit.jar (3.7 or higher is good)
* Xmlunit-1.3.jar (Downloaded from XMLUnit site)
* XML Parser v1
* XML Query

       testXQuery.testXQuery("test.xq", "TestXML.xml",
        "medewerker", "TargetWerknemer1.xml");
   }
}
The following example XML file (Medewerker1.xml) is used as a test example:
 
        Kimmenade
        van de


The expected result of the test xquery is (TargetWerknemer1.xml):

   van de Kimmenade



The test code to test is then (AllTests.java):
package unittest;

import junit.framework.TestSuite;
import junit.textui.TestRunner;

public class AllTests {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AllTests tests = new AllTests();
        TestRunner.run(tests.suite());
    }
    
    public static TestSuite suite() {
        System.out.println("Start Werknemer2WerkgeverTest");
        
        TestSuite suite = new TestSuite("All");
        suite.addTestSuite(unittest.AchternaamTest.class);
        
        return suite;
    }
}
The next is the actual test case for Achternaam:
package unittest;

import org.custommonkey.xmlunit.XMLTestCase;

public class AchternaamTest extends XMLTestCase {

    protected void setUp() {}
   
    public void testTransformation1() throws Exception {
        XQUnit xq = new XQUnit();
        xq.testXQuery("test.xq", "Medewerker1.xml",
         "medewerker", "TargetWerknemer1.xml");
    }
}

Only test part of the result

In case you want to test only some parts of the result XQuery you can use some handy XMLUnit constructions. The following example shows it.
package unittest;

import java.util.HashMap;

import org.custommonkey.xmlunit.SimpleNamespaceContext;
import org.custommonkey.xmlunit.XMLTestCase;
import org.custommonkey.xmlunit.XMLUnit;

public class VoorkeurnaamTest extends XMLTestCase {

    private SimpleNamespaceContext ctx;

    protected void setUp() {
        HashMap m = new HashMap();
        m.put("wn", "http://www.example.com/werknemer/v1");
        ctx = new SimpleNamespaceContext(m);
        XMLUnit.setXpathNamespaceContext(ctx);
        
    }

    public void testAchternaam() throws Exception {
        XQUnit xq = new XQUnit();
        
        String res = xq.runXQuery("test.xq", "Medewerker1.xml",
         "medewerker");
        assertXpathEvaluatesTo("van de Kimmenade", "/wn:Werknemer/wn:Achternaam", res);
    }
}

Conclusions
* The XQUnit framework is not complete, but can be extended to support multiple external variables.
* The XQUnit framework also supports the check of XMLSchema, but this is not shown in an example.
* At the moment the JDeveloper XQuery engine is used (Somebody knows which WLS jar to include to use the real WLS XQuery engine?)

  1. Thanks for sharing the example. I am just wondering do you have any suggestions for doing file validation using OSB for incomplete files, bad schema, corrupt files etc... Any suggestions are welcome.

  2. @Khad: Do you mean within testing or at runtime on the OSB? Furthermore what are the type of files?

    See also here for an example of custom file to XML format: http://tinyurl.com/yjn89c2
    You can check the XML against an XSD afterwards.

  3. I would like to do some validation for XML and JPEG files which will be my input files to OSB. Before I do any further processing on these files, I would like to check for whether files are incomplete, empty files, bad schema, corrupt files etc... If you come across with these scenario's please let me know. I am not sure whether we can do anything like this in OSB or do we just have to write some java code and call it as a jar file in OSB. Any ideas.... Thanks

  4. XML files can be checked by the Validate action on the OSB (VETO Pattern = Validate Enhance Transform Operate).
    This is of course the syntactic checking. Semantic checking must be done within Java (unfortunately XML Schematron is not supported yet, as i know).
    JPEG also has to be done by Java callout, i'm afraid.

  6. Hello K,
    You are right, I used the JDeveloper libraries as I state in the Conclusion.
    Both implement the XQuery standard, so this should not be a problem (in theory). In practice I did not ran into differences yet.

OSB 10gR3 and SWA and MTOM

This blog is about using soap with attachments and the use of MTOM within the OSB (10gR3). A service is created that accepts a soap with attachment (DocumentService) and translates it to a service that accepts a binary element. MTOM is used for performance reasons for the second. Some notes: * For the use of attachments you need RPC-style document instead of the usual document-style. This due to the fact that the document-style limits a message to a single . * A service can not have both SWA and MTOM within OSB. First a WSDL is setup for the DocumentService: The $attachments variable holds the attachments and the body holds the attachment data. Also other data is stored within the attachment element (see h

Book review: Data Management at Scale (Piethein Strengholt)

 This blog is a review of the book "Data Management at Scale (See also at bol.com ) Data Management is a hot topic nowadays and this book does a fantastic job at adding value to this topic. It is a must read and one of the few technical books I finished reading in a weekend. The book gives a fantastic overview on how to implement a Data Mesh data architecture. The Data Mesh concept is explained by Martin Fowler here . The book is a good mix between conceptual and implementation architecture level. It gives a lot of examples of how this architecture at scale can work, for both small and big companies. It is practical and I used it to implement it at one of my customers. The book describes an architecture in which the focus is on the DIAL (Data- and Integration Access Layer).  On a high level the book covers the following topics: The key principles for data management at scale - Domain-Driven Design  - Domain Data Stores - Meta data management Ready Data Store The concept of servin
