Java CAPS 5.1.3 – JCD-based Programmatic log manipulation

By Michael Czapski Sun No Comments »

In Java CAPS 5.1 the Sun SeeBeyond Integration Server is a modified version of the Sun Application Server 8.0 Platform Edition. As such a number of things that can be done with that application server can be done with the Sun SeeBeyond Integration Server. Most notably, the Sun SeeBeyond Integration Server uses the java.util.logging API for logging. Integration Server logging can be manipulated from the command line, using the isadmin tool, from a Web-based GUI and, also, programmatically.

This note discusses how IS logging can be manipulated programmatically using Java Collaboration Definitions. This note applies to the Sun SeeBeyond Integration Server included in Java CAPS 5.1.

Java CAPS 5.1.3 – Sun SeeBeyond IS – Note 1 – Logging management with isadmin

By Michael Czapski Sun No Comments »

In Java CAPS 5.1 the Sun SeeBeyond Integration Server is a modified version of the Sun Application Server 8.0 Platform Edition. As such a number of things that can be done with that application server can be done with the Sun SeeBeyond Integration Server. Most notably, it can be managed at runtime using the isadmin tool much the same way as the Sun Application Server 8.0 PE can be managed using the asadmin tool.

This note discusses how the isadmin tool can be used to manage runtime logging of the Sun SeeBeyond Integration Server. This note applies to the Sun SeeBeyond Integration Server included in Java CAPS 5.1.

Java CAPS 5.1.3 Correlation Example 3 – ELS Static Counted and Timed Correlation

By Michael Czapski Sun No Comments »

This example implements a part of the ELS functionality dealing with linking a number of related messages until all are collected or a time period elapses, whichever is the sooner, a counted and timed correlation pattern, or an aggregator pattern with a timer.

Unlike the implementation from Example 2, on which it is heavily based, this implementation will correlate a varying number of messages, statically set at design time, or as many as it receives within a given time period expressed as a static duration. Thus the same implementation can be used to correlate 2, 3, 10 or 30 messages, by modifying the value of a single business process attribute, over a statically configured time period. By obtaining the value of the business process attribute which controls the message count or which controls duration, from the environment or the initial message, one will change the static implementation into a dynamic counted and timed correlation solution.

CorrelationExample_03_CountedAndTimed.pdf discusses the solution and illustrates key points that vary between Example 2 and this example.

CountedAndTimes.zip is the Java CAPS 5.1.3 project export that implements the solution.

Java CAPS 5.1.3 Correlation Example 2 – ELS Static Counted

By Michael Czapski Sun No Comments »

This example implements a part of the ELS functionality dealing with linking a number of related messages, a counted correlation pattern, or an aggregator pattern.

Unlike the simple implementation from Example 1, this implementation will correlate a varying number of messages, statically set at design time. Thus the same implementation can be used to correlate 2, 3, 10 or 30 messages, by modifying the value of a single business process attribute. By obtaining the value of the business process attribute, which controls the message count, from the environment or the initial message, one will change the static implementation into a dynamic counted correlation solution.

CorrelationExample_02_StaticCounted.pdf discusses the example and addresses key points in its implementation.

CountedStatic.zip is a Java CAPS 5.1.3 project export that implements the correlation in this example.

Java CAPS 5.1.3 Correlation Example 1 – ELS Counted Messages

By Michael Czapski Sun 4 Comments »

Correlations are probably the single least understood area of eInsight functionality. The example discussed in the attached document implements one of the “Event Linking and Sequencing” patterns, present in e*Gate 4.5 and eGate SRE, that is alleged to have been lost in ICAN and Java CAPS. In as much as implementing ELS in eInsight 5.1 using correlation requires some development, rather then just configuration, one could argue that it was lost. In as much as implementing ELS in eInsight 5.1 is possible and relatively simple, one could also argue the opposite.

The example discussed in the document, and illustrated with the Java CAPS 5.1.3 project export, implements a part of the ELS functionality dealing with linking a specific number of related messages, a counted correlation pattern, or an aggregator pattern.

Java CAPS 5.1.3 – Using JMS RequestReply() in synchronous messaging

By Michael Czapski Sun 1 Comment »

By default Java CAPS uses the Java Message Service infrastructure as its underlying messaging layer. Occasionally there is a requirement or a temptation to develop synchronous service, for example invoked as web services or as HTTP Request/Response services, that invoke some back-end component over JMS. In request/response scenarios the response must be delivered by the component which received the request, a JCD or a BP. If the request is passed to the nback-end infrastructure through a JMS Queue or Topic there arises an issue of getting the response back to the same instance of the JCD or a BP that sent the original request. The attached extract, JMS RequestReply, from an early draft of the “Java CAPS Basics – Implementing Common EAI Patterns“, discusses and illustrates how the JMS RequestReply() method of the JMS OTD can be used to implement this kind of functionality.

Java CAPS 5.1.3 – Using Propertirs for Runtime Control – Note 3 – Loading Properties from a File

By Michael Czapski Sun No Comments »

This note introduces the use of the Java Properties file, some locations where such a file can be put, a method to use a properties file residing in an arbitrary location without hardcoding the location, and the most basic method of access to the properties in the properties file.

Loading Properties from a File, discussion.

Java CAPS 5.1.3 – Using Propertirs for Runtime Control – Note 2

By Michael Czapski Sun No Comments »

This note walks through an example of configuring Java CAPS 5.1 through adding a custom property to system properties. Java collaboration developed in Note 1 is used to retrieve the value of the new property.

Java CAPS 5.1.3 – Using Properties for Runtime Control – Note 1

By Michael Czapski Sun No Comments »

Java CAPS 5.1 developer may need to determine a runtime value of one or more system properties to, perhaps, use its vale for runtime flow control. This is the first in a series of notes on the use of Java Properties for controlling runtime behaviour of Java CAPS solutions.

This note walks through an example of configuring Java CAPS 5.1 and developing, and exercising, a Java Collaboration Definition that dumps all system properties to a file and that accesses the values of two specific properties, by name, and dumping them to a file as well.

Java CAPS 5.1.3 Dynamic JMS Selectors

By Michael Czapski Sun 4 Comments »

Java CAPS solutions can selectively retrieve messages from JMS Destinations using static selector expressions, configured in Connectivity Maps. This configuration is performed at design time and is static – to change a selector value requires that the solution is re-built and redeployed.

This extract, from the “Java CAPS Basics …” book, discusses and illustrates dynamic use of JMS Selectors in Java Collaboration definitions.
