JDBC LLR, table verify failed for table 'WL_LLR_ADMINSERVER'

JDBC LLR, table verify failed for table 'WL_LLR_ADMINSERVER'

I had some issue with the Oracle SOA Suite domain so that tried to delete and re-create the the domain with different name by using the same schema repository.

The domain creation was successful but when starting the server i was receiving the following error.

javax.transaction.SystemException: weblogic.transaction.loggingresource.LoggingResourceException: java.sql.SQLException: JDBC LLR, table verify failed for table 'WL_LLR_ADMINSERVER', row 'JDBC LLR Domain//Server' record had unexpected value 'BLOG_DOMAIN//AdminServer' expected
'blog_domain1//AdminServer'*** ONLY the original domain and server that creates an LLR table may access it ***
        at weblogic.transaction.internal.ServerTransactionManagerImpl.registerLoggingResourceTransactions(ServerTransactionManagerImpl.java:752)
        at weblogic.jdbc.common.internal.RmiDataSource.recoverLoggingResourceTransactions(RmiDataSource.java:302)

        at weblogic.jdbc.module.JDBCModule.activate(JDBCModule.java:359)
        Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace


The issue is with the table WL_LLR_ADMINSERVER pointing to the old domain/server details.

Steps to resolve the issue

Update the table with the correct domain and the server details.

update SOA_SOAINFRA.WL_LLR_ADMINSERVER set RECORDSTR = 'BASE_DOMAIN//AdminServer' where  XIDSTR  = 'JDBC LLR BASE_DOMAIN1//Server';

Passing parameter to XSLT in Oracle SOA Suite 11g


Passing parameter to XSLT in Oracle SOA Suite 11g

Not like Oracle SOA Suite 10g, in Oracle SOA Suite 11g the parameters can be directly added into the Transform activity from GUI.
The parameters can be of any schema element type; the XML Schema Simple types are not accepted.

Create a schema definition that will have the parameter definition e.g.
Here, I have defined the schema to pass the parameters startIndex and endIndex to the XSLT.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
            xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/parameters"
            targetNamespace="http://schemas.oracle.com/parameters"
            elementFormDefault="qualified">
 <xsd:element name="parameters">
    <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>      
              <xsd:element name="startIndex" type="xsd:string"/>
              <xsd:element name="endIndex" type="xsd:string"/>
            </xsd:sequence>     
    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

Create the variable (e.g. parameters) of required element type defined in the schema, in my case the element name is parameters.


Open the Transform activity and select the Input/output variables. Add the parameters variable in the source section, the first variable that is added becomes the source for the transformation activity. These additional variables become as parameters to the transform file.

Invoking the Servlet through HttpAdapter with xml input/output in Oracle SOA Suite

Invoking the Servlet through HttpAdapter with xml input/output in Oracle SOA Suite

Sometimes we may require invoking the Java servlet with XML as input/output; this blog will explain how to invoke the servlet with XML as input/output  through HttpAdapter  in Oracle SOA Suite 11g. The same will work in Oracle SOA Suite 12c - the screens will be little different.

The sample java servlet will receive the emp name and emp no as XML input and return the employee details as XML output.

Defining the HttpAdapter to invoke the servlet:

  • Create a composite with Synchronous BPEL
  • Define the HttpAdapter as shown below
  • Make sure the configuration are defined as below

Splitting an array of repeated elements into sub groups based on index in XSL

Splitting an array of repeated elements into sub groups based on index in XSL

Sometimes we may require splitting the array of repeated elements into sub groups based on index in XSL; this blog will explain the approach to do the same.

The below XSLT will select the first two order line items from the list of line items.
The same can be used to select the elements by passing startIndex and endIndex values.

Finding the distinct values of an element in a XSL


Finding the distinct values of an element in a XSL

Sometimes we may have the requirement to identify the distinct elements in the input XML. Key function will help us to identify the distinct elements in the XSL.

The key () function returns a node-set from the document, using the index specified by an <xsl:key> element.

Syntax:

node-set key(string, object)
string - Specifies the name of an xsl:key element
object - A string to search for

The below XSL will find the distinct nextaction1 available in the XML.

TransDistinctNextAction1.xsl

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsdLocal="http://www.reuters.com/ns/2007/01/25/GCAP/EAI/OrderManagement">

Java webservice considering the space/newline characters as an element


Java webservice considering the space/newline characters as an element

We have developed a java webservice to convert the xml to fixed length payload; unfortunately it was failing with Class cast Exception.

<faultstring>java.lang.String cannot be cast to javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement</faultstring>

 
After debugging we have identified the parser considering the new line character in the XML payload as the JAXBElement.

 
We tried removing the new line characters and the spaces in the xml payload and it worked fine.



After a long struggle we have identified the root cause.

Undeploying SOA Composite while soa-infra is down in Oracle SOA Suite

Undeploying SOA Composite while soa-infra is down in Oracle SOA Suite:

Recently we had an issue with soa-infra start-up, soa-infra application won’t come up due to corrupt composite. 

We have followed the Meta link note 1380835.1 to un-deploy the corrupted composite and bring up the soa-infra application.

Thought of sharing the same here, it may help whoever facing the same issue.

The SOA composites can’t be un-deployed when the soa-infra application. The below steps will help you to un-deploy the SOA composites when the soa-infra application is down.
  • First check the soa logs and identify which composite is causing the problem
  • Download and copy the ShareSoaInfraPartition.ear file to $MWHOME/Oracle_SOA/common/bin
  • Execute $MWHOME/Oracle_SOA/common/bin/wlst.sh
  •  connect()
             Provide username, password and server URL
  • Run the below command to deploy ShareSoaInfraPartition.ear
                 deploy('ShareSoaInfraPartition','ShareSoaInfraPartition.ear',upload='true')
  • Now run the below command by changing the "toLocation" ('/fmw11g/Middleware' is some location path on SOA machine)
   exportMetadata(application='ShareSoaInfraPartition',server='AdminServer',toLocation='/fmw11g/Middleware',docs='/deployed-composites/deployed-composites.xml')
A deployed-composites folder will be created at "toLocation" path with deployed-composites.xml in it
  • Delete the composite which is causing the problem from deployed-composites.xml and save the file
          for example FormatDate composite like below
            <composite-series name="default/FormatDate" default="default/FormatDate!1.0">
                  <composite-revision dn="default/FormatDate!1.0" state="on" mode="active"   location="dc/soa_b8c8782b-776e-42c3-8519-d29fdfb72032">
                 <composite dn="default/FormatDate!1.0*soa_b8c8782b-776e-42c3-8519-d29fdfb72032"  deployedTime="2012-07-11T04:14:47.665-07:00"/>
                </composite-revision>
            </composite-series>
  • Now run the below command by changing the "fromLocation" (this should be the same location as previous)
            importMetadata(application='ShareSoaInfraPartition',server='AdminServer',fromLocation='/fmw11g/fmw1115/Middleware',docs='/deployed-composites/deployed-composites.xml')

 Now bounce your server and the composite will not be deployed by SOA when it comes up and hence that should bring your soa-infra up.

Retrieving the XML payload in Java Servlet

Retrieving the XML payload in Java Servlet:

If the request content type is text/xml and the method is POST, we can use the below code to retrieve the xml payload in servlet.

    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
                       HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
                                                            IOException {
        response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        BufferedReader br = request.getReader(); 
            String line = null; 
            StringBuffer inputXML = new StringBuffer(); 
            PrintWriter pout = response.getWriter(); 
             
            while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) { 
                inputXML.append(line); 
            } 
            br.close();
           
            System.out.println("Input "+inputXML);
           
        java.io.InputStream sbis = new java.io.StringBufferInputStream(inputXML.toString());

        javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory b = javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        b.setNamespaceAware(false);
        org.w3c.dom.Document doc = null;
        javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder db = null;

        try {
            db = b.newDocumentBuilder();
            doc = db.parse(sbis);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
     
        org.w3c.dom.Element element = doc.getDocumentElement();
       
        String empName=getPayloadValue(element, "EmpName");
        String empNo=getPayloadValue(element, "EmpNo");
     
      
       String output="<EmployeeCollection xmlns=\"http://xmlns.oracle.com/HttpAdapter/InvokeServlet/InvokeServlet\"><Employee><EmpName>"+empName+"</EmpName><EmpNo>"+empNo+"</EmpNo><EmpAge>27</EmpAge></Employee><Employee><EmpName>"+empName+"</EmpName><EmpNo>"+empNo+"</EmpNo><EmpAge>28</EmpAge></Employee></EmployeeCollection>";
       out.write(output);
        out.close();
    }

    public String getPayloadValue(Element taskPayloadElement, String nodeName){
       
     String output= "";  
    NodeList nodeList = taskPayloadElement.getElementsByTagName(nodeName);
    if(nodeList!=null && nodeList.getLength() > 0){
    Element myElement = (Element)nodeList.item(0);
    output= myElement.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
    }

Changing the reference endpoint of a Composite through JAVA – Oracle SOA Suite


Changing the reference endpoint of a Composite through JAVA – Oracle SOA Suite

Sometimes we may need to change the endpoint value of a Composite reference, the same can be done through the EM console by following the below blog.

Another way to accomplish this is to use the Java API; this blog will explain how to use the Java API to change the reference endpoint of a Oracle SOA Suite composite. This approach will work in both Oracle SOA Suite 11g and Oracle SOA Suite 12c.

This update is not a cluster-aware; remember that you must repeat the same process for each managed server of your environment.


CRUD operations with the Entity variable – Oracle SOA Suite

CRUD operations with the Entity variable in Oracle SOA Suite:

In Oracle SOA Suite, we can use the Entity variables to perform the CRUD operations on the database. Entity variable will have the reference to the SDO enabled web services like ADF BC web service.
In Oracle SOA Suite we can expose the View objects (VOs) in ADF BC as SDO’s. SDOs enable you to modify business data regardless of how it is physically accessed.

For each Entity variable, a Unique Key (e.g. Primary key) must be associated with the corresponding Element.

Entity Variables automatically propagate data object changes through the ADF BC layer via "Change Summary" operations and can be used in BPEL by means of a partner link of either an ADF-BC binding or SOAP (WS) binding reference to your ADF BC service.

We can use the following activities Create Entity, Bind Entity and Remove Entity to perform the CRUD operations.

Bind Entity:

This activity enables you to select the entity variable to act as the data handle. This action select the row from the datasource, the update/Delete operation can be performed on the selected data.  

Create Entity: 

This activity enables you to create an entity variable. This action creates a row in the Datasource. 

Remove Entity: 

This activity enables you to remove an entity variable. This action removes the row from the datasource.

Follow the previous blog (Invoking a ADF-BC service from the SOA Composite – Oracle SOA 11g) to create and deploy the ADF BC SDO service.

Create a BPEL process which will take the employee details as input/output as shown below.


Create the web service parnerlink in the composite.xml by consuming the ADF BC service URL created in the previous blog.
