OSB 11g : Java Callout Activity

Introduction:

Java Callout activity is used to call custom java methods from proxy services in OSB. 
For this it is needed to create a POJO (Plain Old Java Object) class and create different methods. 

The java methods which you want to call from proxy services must be static.

Following data types are supported as method parameters:

  • String
  • Primitive types, and their corresponding class types 
  • BigDecimal 
  • BigInteger 
  • XmlObject 
  • Single array type of above data types
  • javax.activation.DataSource 

Following return types are supported from a java method:

  • String
  • Primitive types, and their corresponding class types 
  • XmlObject

Note: void is not supported as a return type.


How to use Java Callout in OSB:


Follow the below steps to use a Java Callout in proxy services in OSB:
[Note: The steps shown below are performed in Eclipse IDE]

Step-1: Create a POJO class and a method as shown below :













Step-2: Create a jar file to use the above method.

Step-3: Create a new OSB project and create a new proxy service. 
Copy the jar file (created in Step-2) in your OSB project. Go to the 
proxy service and drag the Java Callout action. Click on the browse 
button, select the jar file and select the getWelcomeName Method.

Difference between OSB 11g And OSB 12c

In this blog I will walk  you  through from the new features of OSB 12c as well as the difference between OSB 11g and 12c. Following are the differences between OSB 11g and 12c : In the new version Oracle Service Bus (OSB) is renamed as Service Bus. Eclipse tool is needed to develop an interface in OSB 11g where as JDeveloper tool is needed to develop an interface in OSB 12c.  Oracle has integrated OSB 12c with JDeveloper. Now there is no need of Eclipse to develop an interface in 12c. Graphical representation of OSB components are similar to SOA BPEL components. Pipeline is separated from proxy service and it is separate component in 12c. To perform operations on database, ftp and files, it is no longer required to configure adapters in JDeveloper and copy it to Eclipse, because OSB 12c service is developed using JDeveloper only.

How to generate a unique id in XSLT

In this post I will explain you how to generate a unique Id in XSLT. To Generate a unique id in XSLT use oraext:generate-guid() function. See below screen shot to generate unique id in XSLT : Result of XSLT : The function oraext:generate-guid() has generated a unique Id as 2d333136303937343532313436323038. Similarly for each run this function will generate different unique Ids.
