LAB-4371: Building Composite Applications

Expected duration: 60 minutes (excluding homework)

Acknowlegement: This exercise is based on the Developing a Hello World Composite Application tutorial from netbeans.org.

In this exercise, you create a simple BPEL Module project called SynchronousSample and a Composite Application project called SynchronousSampleApplication. This exercise illustrates how to design a simple XML schema file, a simple WSDL file, and a BPEL file. You learn how to design a BPEL process and deploy. You also learn how to create and perform a test run of a composite application. The process is a simple BPEL process that echoes back the input message. The BPEL process returns the result to the client synchronously. A client starts the BPEL process by invoking a request-response operation. The client is blocked until the process finishes and returns the result. The project includes WSDL and XML schema files, and input files for testing.

This exercise is intended to be the first step towards building a more complex composite application.

Create a "BPEL Module" NetBeans project
Create XML Schema
Create WSDL document
Create BPEL process
Create a "Composite Application" NetBeans project
Deploy the Composite application
Test the Composite application
Debug the Composite application

Observe that the Select Project dialog box appears.
Select SynchronousSample.
Click Add Project JAR Files button. (Figure-1.84 below)

3. Verify the Composite application is deployed.

Click Services tab window.
Expand Servers->GlassFish V2->JBI->Service Assemblies.
Observe that the SynchronousSampleApplication is present.

Expand SynchronousSampleApplication.
Observe SynchronousSampleApplication contains SynchronousSample BPEL module and sun-http-binding Binding Component. (Figure-1.93 below)

Figure-1.93: SynchronousSampleApplication

return to top of the exercise

You can enhance the Composite Application project by adding test cases, binding to the operation, supplying input, and then using the Tester.

1. Right click Test under SynchronousSampleApplication project node and select New Test Case. (Figure-1.95 below)

Figure-1.95: New Test Case

2. Observe that the New Test Case dialog box appears.
3. Click Next. (Figure-1.96 below)

13. Observe that the Overwrite Empty Output? dialog box appears,
14. Click Yes. (Figure-1.101 below)

Figure-1.101: Confirmation

15. Observe that the Output.xml is filled with the SOAP response message. You will also note that the Output window indicates a failure. This is expected since for the first test, there was no Output.xml defined. From the subsequent steps, it will result in a success since we defined the Output.xml in the previous step. (Figure-1.102 below)

Figure-1.102: Output.xml

16. Right click TestCase1 and select Run. (Figure-1.103 below)

Figure-1.81: Make a breakpoint

2. Change the timeout value (from 30 seconds to 200 seconds)

Right click TestCast1 and select Properties. (Figure-1.82 below)

Figure-1.82: Display Properties of TestCase1

Change the value of the Test Timeout (sec) from the default value of 30 to 200 (or whatever seconds you want to use). (Figure-1.,83 below)

1. The homework is to build a composite application as following:

The BPEL process represents HelloWebService, in which a client sends a name and the BPEL process responses with Hello, <name>!.
Build the XML schema as Hello.xsd.
Build the WSDL document as Hello.wsdl
Build the BPEL document as Hello.bpel
Build composite application as HelloApplication.
Test the application.

Hint: Provided by one of the attendees of this course. (Thanks, Tim)

"One of your provided links, A Simple Synchronous BPEL Process, http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/synchronousample.html,
has an excellent example of how to receive data, manipulate it and return it. There is even a screen shot of how to hook things up.
In fact, it is the solution to the homework exercise. Here is an excerpt:

3 Select new Assign2 activity.
4 From the Method Palette of the Mapper, click String method and select the concat Concat from the String drop-down list. The concat method appears in the middle portion of the Editor.
5 Double-click the first field in the concat box and type Hello followed by space in the first string. Press the Enter key.
6 From the left side of the Mapper, expand inputVar > inputType.
7 Drag paramA onto the string2 part of the concat method, the second field.
8 From the right of the Mapper, expand outputVar > resultType.
9 Drag the return string from the concat method onto the paramA under outputVar > resultType. This concatenates the string Hello to the input and copies the statement into the output."
