14.3.8 Exporting the Enterprise Application files

The WarehouseBusinessProcess enterprise application must be exported from

the WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition workspace to

an EAR file, so that it can be deployed to WebSphere Business Integration

Server Foundation.

To export the WarehouseBusinessProcess enterprise application, follow these

steps:

1. Click File → Export.

2. In the Export wizard, highlight EAR file and click Next.

3. In the EAR project pull-down, select WarehouseBusinessProcessEAR.

Click Browse and locate a directory to where you want to store the enterprise

application. Click Save. The enterprise application is called

WarehouseBusinessProcess.ear by default.

4. Click Finish to generate WarehouseBusinessProcessEAR.ear.

14.4 Runtime guidelines

This section describes how to test and deploy the Warehouse business process

built in 14.3, “Development guidelines” on page 425.

It contains the following sections:

򐂰 Testing with Web Services Explorer

򐂰 Testing the business process with ITSO Good

򐂰 Deploying the business process

As shown in Figure 14-19 on page 453, the ITSO Good application has been

split into two applications:

򐂰 One with the Warehouse running as a WS-BPEL business process in

WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation V5.1

򐂰 The other with Retailer, SCMSampleUI, and LoggingFacility running in

WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V6.

14.4.1 Testing with Web Services Explorer

Before testing the business process with the ITSO Good sample application, you

can give the process a trial run using the Web Services Explorer. Perform the

following:

1. In WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition, click the

Servers tab, then right-click WarehouseServer and select Add and remove

projects.

2. In the Add and Remove Projects window, select

WarehouseBusinessProcessEAR and click Add to add it to the list of

configured projects. Click Finish.

3. Start the server by right-clicking WarehouseServer and clicking Start.

4. When the server has started, you can invoke the Warehouse business

process using the Web service interface you have defined for it. In the

Package Explorer view locate

WarehouseBusinessProcessWeb\WebContent\wsdl\Warehouse_Impl.wsdl.

This WSDL file is used to invoke the business process. Right-click

Warehouse_Impl.wsdl and click Web Services → Test with Web Services

Explorer.

5. The Web Services Explorer starts. In the Navigator section expand

WarehouseSoapBinding and click ShipGoods.

6. The Actions section allows you to invoke the shipGoods operation. Enter the

following information (Figure 14-20).

a. Set ProductNumber to 605001

b. Set Quantity to 1

c. Set Customer to A12345-9876543-xyz

Figure 14-20 Web Services Explorer input

7. Click Go to invoke the business process. When the call is complete, the status

bar should show the message response. Click Source to see the SOAP

request and response message. Figure 14-21 on page 455 shows a

successful invocation, where the response message is set to true.

14.4.2 Testing the business process with ITSO Good

We can test that the Warehouse business process works with the ITSO Good

sample application while the business process is running in the WebSphere

Studio Application Developer Integration Edition test environment. For detailed

instructions about using the ITSO Good sample application see 8.2, “ITSO Good

sample business scenario” on page 138.

1. In WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition, ensure the

Warehouse business process is added to a test server, and that test server is

running, as described in 14.4.1, “Testing with Web Services Explorer” on

page 453.

2. Start the ITSOGoodProfile and ManufacturerProfile WebSphere Application

Server instances on the itsogood.itso.ral.ibm.com machine. Also start

ManufacturerB and ManufacturerC if you have configured them.

3. You need to change the Web services client binding for the Retailer to point to

the new Warehouse business process. Perform the following tasks:

a. Log in to the ITSOGoodProfile machine where the ITSOGood enterprise

application is hosted.
