4.5 Introduction to Technology Adapters

The Partner Link dialog shown in Figure 4–9 also enables you to take advantage of another key feature that Oracle BPEL Process Manager and Oracle JDeveloper provide. Click the Service Wizard icon shown in Figure 4–16 to access the Adapter Configuration wizard. Figure 4–16 Defining an Adapter Adapters enable you to integrate the BPEL process service component and, therefore, the SOA composite application as a whole with access to file systems, FTP servers, database tables, database queues, sockets, Java Message Services JMS, and MQ. You can also integrate with services such as HTTP binding, direct binding, EJB, and others. This wizard enables you to configure the types of services and adapters shown in Figure 4–17 for use with the BPEL process service component: Figure 4–17 Service and Adapter Types For information about the service and adapter types, see Chapter 34, Getting Started with Binding Components. When you select an adapter type, the Service Name window shown in Figure 4–18 prompts you to enter a name. For this example, File Adapter was selected in Figure 4–17 . When the wizard completes, a WSDL file by this service name appears in the Application Navigator for the BPEL process service component for this example, named USPSShipment.wsdl. The service name must be unique within the project. This file includes the adapter configuration settings you specify with this wizard. Other configuration files such as header files and files specific to the adapter are also created and display in the Application Navigator. 4-14 Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle SOA Suite Figure 4–18 Adapter Service Name The Adapter Configuration wizard windows that appear after the Service Name window are based on the adapter type you selected. You can also add adapters to your SOA composite application as services or references in the SOA Composite Editor. For more information about technology adapters, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Technology Adapters.

4.6 Introduction to BPEL Process Monitors

You can configure BPEL process monitors in Oracle BPEL Designer by selecting Monitor at the top of Oracle BPEL Designer. Figure 4–19 provides details. BPEL process monitors can send data to Oracle BAM for analysis and graphical display through the Oracle BAM adapter. Figure 4–19 BPEL Process Monitors For more information, see Section 50.3, Using Oracle BAM Monitor Express With BPEL Processes.
