How to Integrate Oracle ADF Business Component Business Events with Oracle Mediator

This section provides a high-level overview of how to integrate Oracle ADF Business Component event conditions with SOA components. The SOA components include Oracle Mediator service components and BPEL process service components.

To integrate Oracle ADF Business Component business events with SOA components:

  1. Create a business component project.
  2. Add a business event definition to the project. This action generates an EDL file and an XSD file. The XSD file contains the definition of the payload. Ensure also that you specify that the event be raised by the Oracle ADF Business Component upon creation.

    For more information about creating and publishing Oracle ADF Business Component business events, see Developing Fusion Web Applications with Oracle Application Development Framework.

  3. Create a SOA composite application and manually copy the EDL and XSD schema files to the root directory of the SOA project. For example:
    JDeveloper/mywork/SOA_application_name/SOA_project_name
  4. Place schema files at the proper relative location from the EDL file based on the import.
  5. Create an Oracle Mediator service component as described in How to Subscribe to a Business Event.
  6. In the Event Chooser window, select the EDL file of the event, as described in How to Subscribe to a Business Event.
  7. Create a BPEL process service component in the same SOA composite application for Oracle Mediator to invoke. Ensure that you select the payload of the Business Component business event XSD created in Step 2.
  8. Double-click the BPEL process service component.
  9. Drag an Email activity into the BPEL process service component.
  10. Use the payload of the business event XSD to complete the Subject and Body fields.
  11. Return to the Oracle Mediator service component in the SOA Composite Editor.
  12. Design a second service component to publish the event, such as a BPEL process service component or a second Oracle Mediator service component.

    SOA composite application design is now complete.
