OSB 11g - Call Synchronous Web Service from OSB

Oracle Service Bus is mainly used for routing purpose and to route information we need to invoke/call Synchronous and Asynchronous web services from Oracle Service Bus. In this post I will explain you step by step process to invoke Synchronous web service from Oracle Service Bus.

First of all we need to have Synchronous web service. For this post I created one Synchronous BPEL (Synchronous web service) that we will invoke from OSB.

Step 1: Create a new OSB project and import Synchronous web service WSDL and Schema file.

• Go to OSB console (http://host:7001/sbconsole)
• Click on "Create" button to start a new session. Then click on "Project Explorer" to create new project. I created a new project "CallSyncWebService" which is having three folders resources, business and proxy.

• In resource folder import WSDL and schema file of  Synchronous web service. Click on "resource" folder and select "Select Resource Type" as "XML Schema" and "WSDL" from "Create Resource" drop down. Then choose Schema and WSDL file paths and add it to resource folder. First Import Schema then WSDL. 

• Now we have both WSDL and Schema imported to resource folder of newly created OSB project.

Step 2: Create Business Service.

• Click on "business" folder and choose "Business Service" as "Select Resource Type" from Create Resource drop down list.
• Give it any name and choose "WSDL Web Service" as Service Type. Click on Browse button and select previously imported WSDL file.

• Select port of the WSDL file and click Submit.      

• Accept default values and click on Save button. Now we are ready with Business service.

Step 3: Create Proxy service. Proxy service will call Business Service which in turn call Synchronous  web service.

•  Click on "proxy" folder and choose "Proxy Service" as "Select Resource Type" from Create Resource drop down list. Name your proxy service and then choose your business service that your created earlier.

• Accept default values and click on save.

Step 4: Now we are ready for testing.But before testing we need to activate the active session. Click on "Launch Test Console" button and test proxy service and you can one new instance of Synchronous web service.

In my next Post, I explained how to call Synchronous SOA Composite using soa-direct protocol.
