Cordys BOP External Services Configurator

Introduction

For external webservices within the UDDI connector you have the possibility to configure the endpoints of the webservice.
This way in each environment (Development, Test, Acceptance, Production) you have a way to configure the endpoint differently.
You can use the External Service Configuration. However when I did this i ran into a problem.

Import WSDL

To use an external webservice you can import the WSDL.
  • Goto Workspace Folder where you want to create the webservice (probably a Web Services Folder somewhere).
  • Right-click New > Other > Web Service
  • Select Import WSDL as the source, give it a name and description
  • Next you have to give up the URL where the WSDL is located
    Note: This can be ackward but for the moment not the issue i got

Give logical endpoint to the service

When you look at the properties of the imported webservice by double click on it you will see:




I advise to change the <serviceuri> into a more logical endpoint name instead of the one filled in after importing the WSDL.
This way you will be aware that the correct endpoint still has to be filled in within the External Services Configuration tool.

  • Goto External Services Configuration
  • There you will see the logical service uri and the physical endpoint

Problem when test webservice

However when i tested the webservice I got the following error:


So it appears that the logical endpoint is taken instead of the Service URL as defined within the External Services Configuration.

Solution

When you restart the UDDI connector it takes the correct endpoint.

Conclusions

  • Use logical names within the webservice properties
  • Define the real endpoint with External Services Configuration
  • Restart UDDI connector when the endpoint is changed

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...
