wsba-coordinator-completion-simple: Example of a WS-BA (WS Business Activity) Enabled JAX-WS Web Service

Author: Paul Robinson

What is it?

This example demonstrates the deployment of a WS-BA (WS Business Activity) enabled JAX-WS Web service bundled in a WAR archive for deployment to JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7.

The Web service exposes a simple 'set' collection as a service. The Service allows items to be added to the set within a Business Activity.

This example demonstrates the basics of implementing a WS-BA enabled Web service. It is beyond the scope of this quick start to demonstrate more advanced features. In particular:

  1. The Service does not implement the required hooks to support recovery in the presence of failures.
  2. It also does not utilize a transactional back end resource.
  3. Only one Web service participates in the protocol. As WS-BA is a coordination protocol, it is best suited to multi-participant scenarios.

For a more complete example, please see the XTS demonstrator application that ships with the JBossTS project: http://www.jboss.org/jbosstm.

It is also assumed that you have an understanding of WS-BusinessActivity. For more details, read the XTS documentation that ships with the JBossTS project, which can be downloaded here: http://www.jboss.org/jbosstm/downloads/JBOSSTS_4_16_0_Final

The application consists of a single JAX-WS web service that is deployed within a WAR archive. It is tested with a JBoss Arquillian enabled JUnit test.

When running the org.jboss.as.quickstarts.wsba.coordinatorcompletion.simple.ClientTest#testSuccess() method, the following steps occur:

  1. A new Business Activity is created by the client.
  2. Multiple operations on a WS-BA enabled Web service is invoked by the client.
  3. The JaxWSHeaderContextProcessor in the WS Client handler chain inserts the BA context into the outgoing SOAP messages.
  4. When the service receives a SOAP request, the JaxWSHeaderContextProcessor in its handler chain inspects the BA context and associates the request with this BA.
  5. The Web service operation is invoked.
  6. For the first request, in this BA, A participant is enlisted in this BA. This allows the Web Service logic to respond to protocol events, such as compensate and close.
  7. The service invokes the business logic. In this case, a String value is added to the set.
  8. The client can then make additional calls to the SetService. As the SetService participates as a CoordinatorCompletion protocol, it will continue to accept calls to addValueToSet until it is told to complete by the coordinator.
  9. The client can then decide to complete or cancel the BA.
    • If the client decides to complete, all participants will be told to complete. Providing all participants successfully complete, the coordinator will then tell all participants to close, otherwise the completed participants will be told to compensate.
    • If the participant decides to cancel, all participants will be told to compensate.

There is another test that shows how the client can cancel a BA.

System requirements

All you need to build this project is Java 6.0 (Java SDK 1.6) or better, Maven 3.0 or better.

The application this project produces is designed to be run on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7.

Configure Maven

If you have not yet done so, you must Configure Maven before testing the quickstarts.

Start JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7 with the Custom Options

Next you need to start JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 or JBoss AS 7 (7.1.0.CR1 or above), with the XTS sub system enabled. This is enabled through the optional server configuration standalone-xts.xml. To do this, run the following commands from the top-level directory of JBossAS:

    For Linux:     ./bin/standalone.sh --server-config=../../docs/examples/configs/standalone-xts.xml | egrep "started|stdout"
    For Windows:   \bin\standalone.bat --server-config=..\..\docs\examples\configs\standalone-xts.xml | egrep "started|stdout"

Note, the pipe to egrep (| egrep "started|stdout") is useful to just show when the server has started and the output from these tests. For normal operation, this pipe can be removed.

Run the Arquillian Tests

This quickstart provides Arquillian tests. By default, these tests are configured to be skipped as Arquillian tests require the use of a container.

NOTE: The following commands assume you have configured your Maven user settings. If you have not, you must include Maven setting arguments on the command line. See Run the Arquillian Tests for complete instructions and additional options.

  1. Make sure you have started the JBoss Server as described above.

  2. Open a command line and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.

  3. Type the following command to run the test goal with the following profile activated:

     mvn clean test -Parq-jbossas-remote

Investigate the Console Output

The following expected output should appear. The output explains what actually went on when these tests ran.
