You can add Business Rule components using the SOA Composite Editor.

To create a Business Rule component:

1. Follow the instructions in Table 25-2 to start Oracle JDeveloper.

   Table 25-2 Starting Oracle JDeveloper

   To Start...	On Windows...	On UNIX...
   Oracle JDeveloper	Click JDev_Oracle_Home\JDev\bin\jdev.exe or create a shortcut	$ORACLE_HOME/jdev/bin/jdev

2. Create a Business Rule service component through one of the following methods:

   As a service component in an existing SOA composite application, drag a Business Rule service component from the Components window into the SOA Composite Editor

   In a new application:

   1. From the Applications window, select File > New > Applications > SOA Application.

      This starts the Create SOA Application wizard.

   2. In the Name your application page, enter an application name in the Name field.

   3. In the Directory field, enter a directory path in which to create the SOA composite application and project.

   4. Click Next.

   5. In the Name your project page, enter a unique project name in the Project Name field. The project name must be unique across SOA composite applications. This is because the uniqueness of a composite is determined by its project name. For example, do not perform the actions described in Table 25-3.

      Table 25-3 Restrictions on Naming a SOA Project

      Create an Application Named...	With a SOA Project Named...
      Application1	Project1
      Application2	Project1

      During deployment, the second deployed project (composite) overwrites the first deployed project (composite).

   6. Click Next.

   7. In the Configure SOA settings page, select Composite with Business Rule.

   8. Click Finish.

   Each method causes the Create Business Rules dialog to appear.

3. Provide the required details. For more information on providing Inputs and Outputs and on using the Import Dictionary option with this dialog, see Designing Business Rules with Oracle Business Process Management.

4. Click OK.
