Accessing Composite.xml .bpel file

In real time, it may happen sometimes that you deploy the code and you are not sure which enviroment or external reference address has been used .

At those situations the below is very useful.

You can view at the composite.xml file and see which place is it referring to .

http://hostname:managedserverportnumber/soa-infra/services/partitionname/compositename/composite.xml

http://hostname:managedserverportnumber/soa-infra/services/partitionname/compositename/bpelfilename.bpel

Changing SOAP Version 1.1 to 1.2 and Vice Versa

Problem: SOAP version mismatch

There may be scenarios where in you wanted to change the SOAP protocol. Since some of your partners might be using 1.1 and some might be using 1.2.

The best practice is to create a process with SOAP Version 1.1 and create a wrapper service calling 1.1 and create it as 1.2.

By this you are dually compatible and it wont affect any of your external or internal partners.

By default whenever a service is defined, it is SOAP 1.1 by default.

In order to change it to 1.2

Go to Composite.xml
Go to the binding section
Either you can add this text soapVersion="1.2" in binding.ws tag.

Or you can go to the binding.ws tag and if you look at the property instructor you have a dropdown to change it.

Skip Fault due to Empty value in Assign activity

In many scenarios we use Assign activity and copy from variable to the target variable.
But we do see exception when there is no value from the source variable.

Non Recoverable System Fault :

faultName: {{http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/executable}selectionFailure} messageType: {{http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension}RuntimeFaultMessage}

It may seem weird instead of skipping to next activity we should handle it in Catch block, or Instead we skip to use Transform activity instead.

But there is a way you can ignore this.

If you are not sure if there would be a value coming or not and you still want to handle it in xpath(Assign activity) you need to do the following.

1)

Open the Assign Activity :
