Oracle SOA Dynamically set JCA properties for File Move/Delete/Copy service.

Oracle SOA 11.1.1.5 Dynamically set JCA properties for File Move/Delete/Copy service.

This thread discusses how to dynamically set JCA properties for File Move/Delete/Copy service. The service can then be used to MOVE, DELETE or COPY a file.

• Create a BPEL process.
• In the right Swim Lane (External  References Swim Lane) configure a File Services Adapter.
• Select Define from operation and schema (specified later), and click Next. The Operation page is displayed.
  
• Select Synchronous Read File, enter FileMove in the Operation Name field, and then click Next. The File Directories page is displayed.
• Alter the properties in the JCA file as follows
  
  

  <property name="SourcePhysicalDirectory" value="foo1"/>
   <property name="SourceFileName" value="bar1"/>
   <property name="TargetPhysicalDirectory" value="foo2"/>
   <property name="TargetFileName" value="bar2"/>
   <property name="Type" value="MOVE"/>

  
   
• In the BPEL processa add the following variables.

<variable name="InvokeMoveOperation_FileMove_InputVariable" 

messageType="ns1:Empty_msg"/>
    <variable name="InvokeMoveOperation_FileMove_OutputVariable"

messageType="ns1:FileMove_msg"/>
    <variable name="sourceDirectory" type="xsd:string"/>
    <variable name="sourceFileName" type="xsd:string"/>
    <variable name="targetDirectory" type="xsd:string"/>
    <variable name="targetFileName" type="xsd:string"/>

• Create an Invoke activity for the JCA adapter.

<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceDirectory" 

variable="sourceDirectory"/>
      <bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceFileName" 

variable="sourceFileName"/>
      <bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetDirectory" 

variable="targetDirectory"/>
      <bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetFileName" 

variable="targetFileName"/>

• Create an Assign activity and copy the variables. 

<copy>
        <from expression="'/tmp/src'"/>
        <to variable="sourceDirectory"/>
      </copy>
      <copy>
        <from expression="'input1.txt'"/>
        <to variable="sourceFileName"/>
      </copy>
      <copy>
        <from expression="'/tmp/output'"/>
        <to variable="targetDirectory"/>
      </copy>
      <copy>
        <from expression="'output.txt'"/>
        <to variable="targetFileName"/>
      </copy>

• Deploy the service to test it.
