Description

This simple example shows how to configure an asynchronous service with a JMS Forward . The Service TOUPPER_A is composed of three workflows that define the Client/ESB/Server interaction:

  1. the Client invokes the Request workflow to enqueue the input data into a request queue
  2. the JMS Forward (a GreenVulcano® ESB component), listening on the request queue, extracts the JMS message and invokes the FWD_TOUPPER_A workflow that converts the payload to uppercase (simulate a Server invocation) then enqueues the new payload into a response queue
  3. the Client invokes the getReply workflow to dequeue the output data from a response queue

How To

The preferred mode for creating a Service (at least its skeleton) is through the Service Wizard. Before using it you must first configure the JMS Queue and the VCL plugins to interact with the JMS queue and execute the uppercase conversion. So let's define a new Group, System and Channel, if you do not want to use those already present, and then start the Wizard.

Configuring JMS queues in JBoss

The JMS queues are configured in JBoss by an XML file, gvesb-mq-destinations-service.xml present in $GV_HOME/application/deploy.

A queue has:

  • A name that serves to identify it to JBoss.
  • A JNDI Name used by a client to connect to the queue.
  • MaxDeliveryAttempts (optional), to indicate how many times a message is put back into the queue for processing if the application does not confirm its reading.
  • RedeliveryDelay (optional), to indicate the delay (in ms) after a message will be put back into the queue if the application does not confirm its reading.

The JndiName can be checked using the JBoss's jmx-console to find the MBean "service=JNDIView".

In this example we use 2 queues:

  • TOUPPER_A_Request_Queue
  • TOUPPER_A_Response_Queue

To configure both queues go to the configuration file and insert the following MBean definitions: 

<mbean code="org.jboss.jms.server.destination.QueueService"
           name="jboss.messaging.destination:service=Queue,name=TOUPPER_A_Request_Queue"
           xmbean-dd="xmdesc/Queue-xmbean.xml">
    <depends optional-attribute-name="ServerPeer">jboss.messaging:service=ServerPeer</depends>
    <depends>jboss.messaging:service=PostOffice</depends>
    <attribute name="JNDIName">gvesb/jms/queue/TOUPPER_A_Request_Queue</attribute>
    <attribute name="RedeliveryDelay">60000</attribute>
    <attribute name="MaxDeliveryAttempts">100</attribute>
</mbean>
<mbean code="org.jboss.jms.server.destination.QueueService"
           name="jboss.messaging.destination:service=Queue,name=TOUPPER_A_Response_Queue"
           xmbean-dd="xmdesc/Queue-xmbean.xml">
    <depends optional-attribute-name="ServerPeer">jboss.messaging:service=ServerPeer</depends>
    <depends>jboss.messaging:service=PostOffice</depends>
    <attribute name="JNDIName">gvesb/jms/queue/TOUPPER_A_Response_Queue</attribute>
    <attribute name="RedeliveryDelay">60000</attribute>
    <attribute name="MaxDeliveryAttempts">100</attribute>
</mbean>

Defining Group, System and Channel

From the core view:

  1. Right click the element Groups -> Insert after (or Insert before) -> Group. A new element Group will be created.
  2. Click on the Group new element and set the attribute id-group from the Properties View. We named it DEFAULT_GRP
  3. Expand the GVSystems item.
  4. Right clicking on Systems, insert-after -> System. A new element System will be created.
  5. Set the System parameters in the Properties panel. We named it GVESB_TEST
  6. You can insert a new Channel right clicking the new System element -> Insert after (or Insert before) -> Channel*. A new Channel element will be created
  7. Click on this new Channel element and set the property id_channel. We named it TEST_CHANNEL_A


Defining Workflow Operations

Once you have created the Channel, insert into the operations you need for the workflow. In this case:

Plugin Value
jms-enqueue connection-factory="java:/XAConnectionFactory"
destination-name="gvesb/jms/queue/TOUPPER_A_Request_Queue"
name="JMSEnqueueTo::TOUPPER_A_Req"
ref-dp="WriteString_JMSBytesMessageDataProvider"
XAHelper
auto-enlist="false"
transaction-status="TMSUCCESS"
(You can find XAHelper section by adding it on the queue)
jms-enqueue connection-factory="java:/XAConnectionFactory"
delivery-mode="persistent"
destination-name="gvesb/jms/queue/TOUPPER_A_Response_Queue"
name="JMSEnqueueTo::TOUPPER_A_Resp"
ref-dp="WriteString_JMSBytesMessageDataProvider"
XAHelper
auto-enlist="false"
transaction-status="TMSUCCESS"
jms-dequeue connection-factory="java:/XAConnectionFactory"
delivery-mode="persistent"
destination-name="gvesb/jms/queue/TOUPPER_A_Response_Queue"
name="JMSDequeueTo::TOUPPER_A_Resp"
ref-dp="ReadString_JMSBytesMessageDataProvider"
receive-type="timeout"
XAHelper
auto-enlist="false"
transaction-status="TMSUCCESS"
test-service-call name="toupper_call" service="toupper"

The WriteString_JMSBytesMessageDataProvider creates a JMS BytesMessage and write in its body the expected input java.lang.String converted to byte[].
The ReadString_JMSBytesMessageDataProvider extract the input JMS BytesMessage body as byte[] then convert it into a java.lang.String.
Check that Data Providers WriteString_JMSBytesMessageDataProvider and ReadString_JMSBytesMessageDataProvider will be present in the element DataProviders (JMSBytesMessageDataProvider and StringDataProvider respectively), visualized from the VulCon Adapter view. If don't, you can add it setting their attributes as seen in the following table:

Data Provider Value
JMSBytesMessageDataProvider name="WriteString_JMSBytesMessageDataProvider"
Field:
direction="OUT" key="output" type="field">
Expression: type="ognl"
writeBytes(#input.object.getBytes('UTF-8'))
StringDataProvider name="ReadString_JMSBytesMessageDataProvider"
Field:
direction="INOUT" key="buffer" type="field"
Expression: type="ognl"
#bArr = new byte[object.getBodyLength()], object.reset(), object.readBytes(#bArr), new java.lang.String(#bArr, 'UTF-8')
New GreenVulcano® ESB Service Wizard

Now we are able to use the Wizard.

  1. From the Core View of VulCon. Right click the element Services -> Wizard New Service
  2. A new windows will be open where you can set the name of the Service you want to create, in this case we named TOUPPER_A, and your Group, we used DEFAULT_GRP. You can also select the paradigm, for this example will be asynchronous-synchronous. Click next.
  3. Set System as GVESB_TEST and Channel as TEST_CHANNEL_A. Then chose as Request Operation JMSEnqueueTo::TOUPPER_A_Req, and the response Operation toupper_call. Then finish.


TOUPPER_A flow

As you can see from the core view, inside the Services element, a new Service named TOUPPER_A has been created.
This service contains three Operations (Workflows)

We setted the first one as a Request (to enqueue), and the second as a GetReply (to dequeue). Nodes will be setted as seen in the following table:

Node Request GetReply
GVOperationNode output: output_JMSEnqueueTo::TOUPPER_A_Req
id="request"
id-system="GVESB_TEST"
input="input_JMSEnqueueTo::TOUPPER_A_Req"
next-node-id="check_status" op-type="enqueue"
operation-name="JMSEnqueueTo::TOUPPER_A_Req"		 output: "output_JMSDequeueTo::TOUPPER_A_Resp"
id="request"
id-system="GVESB_TEST"
input="input_JMSDequeueTo::TOUPPER_A_Resp"
next-node-id="check_status" op-type="dequeue"
operation-name="JMSDequeueTo::TOUPPER_A_Resp"
DequeueFilter:
IDFilter
enabled="yes" use-input="yes"
GVNodeCheck default-id="return_status"
id="check_status"
input="output_JMSEnqueueTo::TOUPPER_A_Req"
on-exception-id="return_error"
op-type="check"		 default-id="return_status"
id="check_status"
input="output_JMSDequeueTo::TOUPPER_A_Resp"
on-exception-id="return_error"
op-type="check"
GVEndNode id="return_status"
op-type="end"
output="output_JMSEnqueueTo::TOUPPER_A_Req"		 id="return_status"
op-type="end"
output="output_JMSDequeueTo::TOUPPER_A_Resp"
GVEndNode id="return_error"
output="output_JMSEnqueueTo::TOUPPER_A_Req"		 id="return_error"
output="output_JMSDequeueTo::TOUPPER_A_Resp"

Operation FWD_TOUPPER_A will be configured as follow: Attributes: name="Forward" operation-activation="on" out-check-type="none"

Nodes/Subelements Attributes
GVOperationNode id-system="GVESB"
input="input"
next-node-id="enqueue_response" op-type="call"
operation-name="toupper_call" output="output"
GVOperationNode id="enqueue_response" id-system="GVESB"
input="output" next-node-id="end"

operation-name="JMSEnqueueTo::TOUPPER_A_Resp"
output="output"
GVEndNode end-business-process="no" id="end" op-type="end"
output="output"
ChangeGVBuffer: clear-data="true"

The GVCore.xml configuration file will be changed as follow:

  • Into GVForwards element will be added the tag
<ForwardConfiguration dump-message="true" enabled="true"
                      forwardName="FWD_TOUPPER_A"

Now you are able to test your first VulCon service from the GV Console®. But first you need to export the configuration.

Exporting configuration

Once the flow is correctly configured, the user can export the configuration and pass it to the GreenVulcano® ESB import tool, in order to add into the GreenVulcano® ESB the service just created.

  1. The Export function is available in the view "Project". Expand the project
  2. Before you proceed press F5 to refresh the file list.
  3. Right click the conf folder. It will open a drop-down list.
  4. Export your project as a compressed file.

Testing with GV Console

It is finally the time to test your project. To do that execute the following steps:

Deploy new Service

Suppose you have saved the VulCon project as "${{gv.app.home}}/TEST/REPG1.zip". To deploy the new Service follow this steps:

  1. Start GreenVulcano® ESB
  2. Access to the GV Console.
  3. In the Deploy New Service section click Browse and select the file where you saved the VulCon configuration.
  4. Click Submit.

The section Deploy Services will be open. In this section you can select the services you want to deploy.

  1. Clicking on service TOUPPER_A a new view will be showed containing the files GVCore.xml present in local and on server side.
  2. Click Deploy. Now you can save the document and write some notes about it.
  3. Save the Document. By saving you will return to the Deploy Service section.
GV Console Utility section

Now pass to the GV Console section Utility.

  1. Click on Reload configuration
  2. Select GVCore.xml and GVAdapter.xml, then Reload. A new windows will be open to confirm the operation
  3. Click OK.


GV Console Testing section

Go to the GV Console section Testing. In this section you can finally test your new service. Remember that Service TOUPPER_A is composed by three independent Operations:

Request

  1. Into the Service field select TOUPPER_A
  2. Into the System field select GVESB_TEST
  3. Into the Payload area insert the text to convert in uppercase
  4. Click Request

The FWD_TOUPPER_A is executed by GreenVulcano® ESB JMS Forward.

getReply

  1. Clear the Payload area
  2. Click getReply

When each test completes, the Testing view will be expanded for containing the GVBUFFER OUTPUT. In this case no properties have been defined so there are only be presents the main informations about the process (System, Service, Id, etc.). To view the service payload output click on Show as Text button. Standard fields and the detailed GVBuffer are described in the Output File Name (the default location is $GV_HOME/log/TestOutput.txt).

In case of error or exceptions you can review the logs file present in the folder $GV_HOME/log/.
