Setting Up a TCP Listener for Synchronous Services

Follow these steps to set up a TCP listener for synchronous services initiated by an Oracle BPEL Process Manager and Oracle Mediator process:

  1. Visit the following URL for instructions on how to download and install Axis TCP Monitor (tcpmon)
  2. Visit the following URL for instructions on how to use tcpmon:
  3. Place axis.jar in your class path.
  4. Start tcpmon:
    C:\...\> java org.apache.axis.utils.tcpmon localport remoteHost
port_on_which_remote_server_is_running
  5. In the composite.xml file, add the endpointURI property under binding.ws for your flow to override the endpoint of the service.
  6. From the operating system command prompt, compile and deploy the process with ant.

    The same technique can see SOAP messages passed to invoke a BPEL process service component as a web service from another tool kit such as Axis or .NET.
