Recovering BPEL processes Part 2

The previous post was rather basic, but gives the general idea of what is to be done.
I've augmented the code, using an example from my colleagues (Thanks Silviu!) , as follows -

externalised connect info etc. in a properties file
specified the process ID and time constraints in the WHERE clause


The properties file is as follows -

#orabpel.platform=ias_10g
#java.naming.provider.url=opmn:ormi://localhost:6003:home/orabpel

# JNDI Properties required for Web Client

orabpel.platform=oc4j_10g
java.naming.provider.url=ormi://localhost:6010/orabpel
java.naming.factory.initial=oracle.j2ee.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory
java.naming.security.principal=oc4jadmin
java.naming.security.credentials=welcome1


# JNDI Properties required for Remote Client

#orabpel.platform=oc4j_10g
#java.naming.provider.url=opmn:ormi://ncommisk-de:6010:oc4j_soa/orabpel
#java.naming.factory.initial=oracle.j2ee.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory
#java.naming.security.principal=oc4jadmin
#java.naming.security.credentials=welcome1

# how many bpel domains must be recovered (usually just one)
domains.number=1
# ID of the bpel domain to be recovered
domain.1.ID=default
#domain.2.ID=oc4j_soa
#domain.3.ID=mydomain

# password of the bpel domain to be recovered
domain.1.password=welcome1
#domain.2.password=oc4j_soa
#domain.3.password=mydomain

# ID of the Process to be recovered
processID=AIADemoOrderEBF
#
# throttling - number of messages to be recovered in batch mode
# if -1, then all the recoverable messages will be scheduled in a single batch
#batch.size = 10
# time between 2 consecutive batch recovering, in milli seconds
#batch.frequency = 5000
#

# can be one of the 4: second, minute, hour or day (case insensitive)
# default is second
message.age.type=second
# message age in order to be candidate for manual recovering.
# the significance of the number is given by message.age.type property
message.age = 5
# if true, it will display the summary about all the messages (callback, invoke, activity) in bpel engine.
# for debugging purpose only, not for production mode
verbose = true
# if true, does not actually recover any message. Default is false
simulate = true

a Servlet (init method)

while (loop){
rec.doRecover();
// sleep for 5 seconds
Thread.currentThread().sleep(5000);

EJB 3.0 Migration from JBoss to Oracle Weblogic

Scenario: Customer has a JBoss EJB 3.0 app he wants to deploy to WLS.
JBoss generates a JNDI name as follows –

EarName/EJBName/local

Weblogic, per default, generates

EJBName#packageName

however he wants to keep the JBoss naming convention

Solution:

Add the following tag to weblogic-ejb-jar.xml




project1.MySessionEJB
App1EAR/MySessionEJB/local




Note: If you are testing this by creating an EJB in Jdev 11g and then deploying it to WLS, you may get a jps deployment error. This his to do with the following entries created by Jdev in the weblogic-application.xml



simply delete the 2 listener entries before deploying.
