Java CAPS 6/JBI Note 4 – File to File, with Java logic using Java EE SE

By Michael Czapski Sun No Comments »

The attached document explores the ability of Java CAPS 6/JBI and OpenESB to expose and execute Java-based logic as a JBI service. It walks through the process of creation, deployment and execution of a simple File-to-File integration solution that reads an XML record from a text file, invokes java logic that operates on that record then writes the XML response record into a file.

There are errors in pictures on pages 12 and 13. The WSDL name in the pictures does not correspond to the name in the text. This error is corrected in revision 1.1 of the document, 04File2FielJavaEE_1.1.pdf. Thanks to Juraj Kazda for spotting the issue.

Java CAPS 6/JBI Note 3 – File-2-File with CSV to XML Decode/Encode

By Michael Czapski Sun 2 Comments »

The attached document briefly explores the Encoder aspect of Java CAPS 6/JBI and OpenESB. It walks through the process of creation, deployment and execution of a simple File-to-File integration solution that reads comma-delimited record from a text file, ‘decodes’ then into XML and writes the XML-equivalent records into a file. The project is then extended to ‘encode’ XML records back to CSV format on output.

The focus is the practice of using JBI components not the theory of JBI.

This document addresses the integration solution developers, not developers of Service Engines or Binding Components.

The project uses JBI components only, that’s why it is just as good for OpenESB exploration as it is for Java CAPS 6/JBI exploration.

JBI (Java Business Integration) is not discussed to any great extent. JBI artifact names are used in discussion but not elaborated upon. Explanations are provided where necessary to foster understanding of the mechanics of developing integration solutions using JBI technologies in OpenESB and Java CAPS 6/JBI.

Java CAPS 6 and OpenESB are two of a number of toolkits that implement the JBI specification (JSR 208). When I use an expression like “In JBI …” I actually mean “In JBI as implemented in Java CAPS 6 and OpenESB …”. The same things may well be implemented differently in other JBI toolkits.

Java CAPS 6 “Revenue Release” is used and shown in illustrations. OpenESB can be used instead however the appearance of components shown in illustrations may vary somewhat.

I use Windows to develop these solutions and make no effort to verify that the solutions will run on other platforms.

The complete walkthrough is here.

Java CAPS 6/JBI Note 2 – Basic File-to-File projects with multi-record files

By Michael Czapski Sun No Comments »

This document is intended to help you get over the initial hurdles of exploring Java CAPS 6/JBI and OpenESB. It walks through the process of creation, deployment and execution of a simple File-to-File integration solution, and a simple File to BPEL Process to File solution, with detailed step-by-step illustrations. Both solutions use inbound files with multiple records. The focus is the practice of using JBI components not the theory of JBI. This document addresses the integration solution developers, not developers of Service Engines or Binding Components. The projects use JBI components only, that’s why they are just as good for OpenESB exploration as they are for Java CAPS 6/JBI exploration.

Java CAPS 6/JBI Note 1 – Basic File-BPEL-File Project

By Michael Czapski Sun 1 Comment »

As implemented in OpenESB and Java CAPS 6/JBI, JBI at first put me off completely. I had no idea where to start and what to do. This was particularly annoying as I was reasonably effective in developing solutions using Java CAPS 5.x and did not look forward to trying to figure out how to do in OpenESB the same thing I already new how to do.
