BPM11g parallel paths

This builds on from the simple adapters lab documented at
http://niallcblogs.blogspot.com/2010/05/getting-starting-with-bpm-11g-adapters.html

In this simple scenario we augment the functionality from that example with the following –

- Leverage web services to Validate Customer and Check Inventory.
This can be done in parallel

Step 1 - Create demo web service from a Java class

Here's the Java class I'm using.




Expose as a web service




Step 2 - Deploy as a web service to AdminServer & test







Step 3 - Leverage Web Service in the Composite

Copy the wsdl
o E.g.
http://1.1.1.1:7001/BPM-DEMO-WS-BPM-DEMO-WS-context-root/OrderServicePort?WSDL

Drag & drop a Web Service in composite.xml










Step 4 - Leverage in BPM

Create variables to hold the operation responses



Add Check Inventory ServiceTask








Create validateCustomer Service task





Add parallel processing







Connect as follows –



Step 5 - Deploy & Test

Non-domestic input




View instance tracking in em console




Zoom in to ValidateCustomer




We will implement the required error handling in the next post
