Cordys BOP4: Avoid deadlocks !

Problem

Today we went into a deadlock situation in our project. I like to share this case so that other Cordys developers are aware of this potential problem.

Case:
We have defined the following Long Lived Process.


So we have 1 subprocess and a webservice call.
There is 1 BPM Service Container that handles BPMs and Cases.
The problem is with the webservice call. This is also a call that is handled by a BPM container, however NOT on the same thread as the one that started this BPM instance. So in case the long-lived thread pool is full, the webservice can not be handled by the BPM container and all BPM instances are locked.

Solution

Define a separate BPM Service Container for the Case Management handling and in this case the call is handled by a different thread pool.

In general keep aware that in LongLived BPMs it can be dangerous to call BPM Webservices (like BPM generated webservices, case webservices, executeProcess webservice).

Note:
More can be found also on the Cordys Wiki: https://wiki.cordys.com/display/dp/Process+Execution+Modes+and+Thread+Pool+usage

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 ...
