Cordys - Exposing business process as webservice

In our project we have to trigger a business process within Cordys. In Cordys it is possible to expose the process as a webservice.
This blog item describes a simple example how to do this.

1) First we create a simple business process.


2) We expose the process as a webservice. Select the process in the Cordys WorkSpace (CSP) and select Business Process Execution > Generate Web Service


3) Fill in the next window and click Finish



3) Now you have to add the Web Service to a service group, so go to the System Resource Manager and select the Cordys Services Service
Add Web Service Interfaces
Select Organization1 and select the ExampleProcess interface. Click Save.

4) Now you are able to call the Webservice. You can test the webservice. Select starProcess > Test Web Service Operation > Invoke


5) But how do you call this webservice from outside the Cordys environment to start a Business Process ?
You can view the WSDL of this interface by startProcess > Show WSDL
What I noticed was the strange looking endpoint:
<wsdl:service xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" name="ExampleProcessService" >
   <wsdl:port xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" name="ExampleProcessPort" binding="tns:ExampleProcess" >
<soap:address xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" location="com.eibus.web.soap.Gateway.wcp" />
</wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>
I used the Fiddler tool and the Test Web Service tool (described in step 4) to see what the endpoint must be:
In the VM image of this Cordys installation this is http://192.168.154.128/cordys/com.eibus.web.soap.Gateway.wcp
In fact this is the Gateway endpoint of Cordys.
So now you can use the WSDL and this endpoint to test it within soapUI.

Microservices mindmap

"The tree" - See also   my photo page When you are fairly new within the Microservices land, there are a lot of terms fired at you. So also for my own understanding i have made a mindmap. I think it has a good status now, so that i can share it with you. As always feedback is very welcome ! You can download the mindmap here .

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...

Cloud to Cloud Application Integration

A lot of applications have integration possibilities, so do cloud applications. The question I got from a customer is whether to have a point-to-point integration with Cloud applications or to go through their ESB solution. This blog describes some considerations. Context The customer has a HRM application in which job vacancies are managed. Furthermore that system also handles the full applicant process flow. They also have another cloud application that handles the job vacancies. This application posts the jobs to social sites and other channels to promote the vacancies. Furthermore this application has some intelligence for job seekers to advice some new vacancies based on previous visits or profiles. The job vacancies need to be sent to the Vacancies application and applicant information needs to be sent to the HRM application, when a job seeker actually applies for a job. Furthermore status information about the job application is als...
