Renaming, Deleting, and Moving Components and Artifacts

You can rename, delete, and move some components (also known as refactoring) and artifacts in the following sections of Oracle JDeveloper.

  • SOA Composite Editor

    Enables you to rename and delete components. These actions impact Oracle SOA Suite metadata (and not necessarily specific artifacts).

  • Applications window

    Enables you to rename, delete, and move artifacts such as WSDLs, schemas, and so on. These actions impact Oracle JDeveloper artifacts.

Note:

Do not perform refactoring tasks with Oracle BPEL Designer, Human Task Editor, and other editors open. If you do, ensure that you then close and reopen the editors after refactoring. For example, assume you have a BPEL process open, then rename the BPEL process WSDL file in the Applications window. This changes the underlying BPEL file, but Oracle BPEL Designer does not reflect this change and becomes unsynchronized unless you completely exit it. Close and then reopen Oracle BPEL Designer. The changes are then synchronized.
