Oracle Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook

Overview of this book

Oracle Service Bus 11g is a scalable SOA integration platform that delivers an efficient, standards-based infrastructure for high-volume, mission critical SOA environments. It is designed to connect, mediate, and manage interactions between heterogeneous services, legacy applications, packaged solutions and multiple Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) instances across an enterprise-wide service network. Oracle Service Bus is a core component in the Oracle SOA Suite as a backbone for SOA messaging. This practical cookbook shows you how to develop service and message-oriented (integration) solutions on the Oracle Service Bus 11g. Packed with over 80 task-based and immediately reusable recipes, this book starts by showing you how to create a basic OSB service and work efficiently and effectively with OSB. The book then dives into topics such as messaging with JMS transport, using EJB and JEJB transport, HTTP transport and Poller transports, communicating with the database, communicating with SOA Suite and Reliable Message Processing amongst others. The last two chapters discuss how to achieve message and transport-level security on the OSB.

Debugging services through Eclipse OEPE


We have already seen in the Testing the proxy service through the OSB console recipe that the OSB provides an Invocation Trace when executing an OSB service through the test console. The Invocation Trace is one possible solution for debugging if something is not working as expected. But its use is limited to the test console.

This recipe will show a more developer-friendly way for debugging. We will show how to use the visual debugger available with the Eclipse OEPE.

Getting ready

Make sure to have the current state of the basic-osb-service project from Chapter 1, Creating a Basic OSB Service available in Eclipse OEPE. We will use it for this recipe. If necessary, it can be imported from here: \chapter-1\solution\with-transformation-proxy-service-created.

For this recipe, we also have to make sure that the OSB server runs in debug mode. The status of a server in the Servers tab in the Eclipse OEPE indicates in which mode the server is started. A value...
