Select Operation
MEP supported : InOut
When the select operation is set on the incoming exchange, the component performs the SQL SELECT statement(s) defined in the sql element of the IN message. The OUT message returned contains the SQL Result Set.
If you want to get meta-data (name of a column, type of a column, index of a row) in the response, you must activate the meta-data feature. This feature can be set at the Service definition, in the SU, or at runtime, by setting a property 'metadata' to true in the IN message. |
Example of a IN message :
<sql xmlns="http://petals.ow2.org/components/sql/version-1">SELECT name, firstname FROM user WHERE id='123'</sql>
Example of an OUT message returning the content of the SQL Result Set in a XML representation.
<result xmlns="http://petals.ow2.org/components/sql/version-1"> <row index="1"> <column name="name" type="varchar">Field</column> <column name="firstname" type="varchar">Jean</column> </row> <row index="2"> <column name="name" type="varchar">Foo</column> <column name="firstname" type="varchar">John</column> </row> </result>

StoredProcedure Operation
MEP supported : InOut
Before using this operation, it is possible to register the target stored procedure, defined in the SU, during the deployment of this latter.
If the stored procedure has been registered, it will be unregistered at the undeployment of the SU.
If the stored procedure already exits, the signature of the stored procedure must be defined in the SU.
When the storedProcedure operation is set on the incoming exchange, the component extracts the list of IN or/and INOUT parameter(s) set in the request. Then, it performs the stored procedure.
The OUT message contains the list of INOUT or/and OUT parameter(s) returned by the stored procedure, in a raw form.

Service Unit Configuration
All needed information must be defined in the service-unit JBI descriptor. This JBI descriptor is configured through parameters divided in following groups:
- JBI parameters that defines the service provider identification,
- CDK parameters that are parameters driving the service provider implementation at CDK layer,
- CDK interceptor parameters that are parameters driving interceptors at CDK layer,
- Dedicated parameters that are parameters driving the service provider implementation at component layer.
Placeholder
A placeholder is a specific value that is resolved at runtime against a property available in the property file set at component level. It is mainly used in the service unit JBI descriptor to be able to configure your service providers and/or your service consumers.
<service-unit-parameter>${dgfip.quotient-familial.base-url}</service-unit-parameter>
Its syntax is: '${placeholder-name[:default-value]}',
- if no property with name 'placeholder-name' exists in the component property file, the default value 'default-value' is used. If no default value is defined, the literal value '${placeholder-name}' is used,
- if a placeholder name must contain the character ':' (colon), it must be escaped by the character '\', example: ${placeholder-name-with-\:-colon:default-value}',
- if a placeholder default value must contain the character ':' (colon), it must be escaped by the character '\', example: ${placeholder-name:default-value-with-\:-colon}'.
- the escape character can be escaped by itself.
Placeholders are not supported for each service unit parameter, check your documentation before to use them.
It is also possible to change a placeholder value at runtime reloading the component property file. It is not sufficient, the parameter associated to the placeholder must be changeable at runtime. So check component documentation to know that.
CDK parameters defining service provider implementation
The following parameters correspond to the CDK configuration of the service provider implementation.
The service provider is defined into the section 'provides' of the JBI descriptor, containing:
CDK parameters driving interceptors
The following parameters drive interceptors at CDK layer.
Interceptors can be defined to inject some post or pre-processing in the service provider processing or service consumer processing.
Using interceptor is very sensitive and must be manipulated only by power users. A non properly coded interceptor engaged in a component can lead to uncontrolled behaviors, out of the standard process.
Example of an interceptor configuration:

Service unit content
The service unit has to contain the following elements, packaged in the archive:
- the META-INF/jbi.xml descriptor file as described above,
- it is also highly recommended to provide a WSDL description for service provider embedded in the service-unit. The service provider contract must implement the interface "{http://petals.ow2.org/components/sql/version-1}SQLInterface" defined in the abstract WSDL 'SQLInterface.wsdl' available as resource in the component archive.
service-unit.zip + META-INF - jbi.xml (as defined above) - service.wsdl (recommended)
Example
An example of a Service Unit descriptor to provide an SQL service:

Configuring the component
The component can be configured through the parameters of its JBI descriptor file. These parameters are divided in following groups:
- JBI parameters that have not to be changed otherwise the component will not work,
- CDK parameters that are parameters driving the processing of the CDK layer,
- Dedicated parameters that are parameters specific to this component.
Caution: The component requires the right JDBC Shared Libraries to communicate with your databases. Please install first valid Shared Libraries containing your database JDBC drivers. Then you can configure your component by using PETALS Maven plugin with the goal jbi:configure or the PETALS Ant task petals-configure-component. |
CDK parameters
The component configuration includes the configuration of the CDK. The following parameters correspond to the CDK configuration.
Parameter | Description | Default | Scope* |
---|---|---|---|
acceptor-pool-size | The size of the thread pool used to accept Message Exchanges from the NMR. Once a message is accepted, its processing is delegated to the processor pool thread. | 1 |
Runtime |
acceptor-retry-number | Number of tries to submit a message exchange to a processor for processing before to declare that it cannot be processed. | 40 |
Installation |
acceptor-retry-wait | Base duration, in milliseconds, to wait between two processing submission tries. At each try, the new duration is the previous one plus this base duration. | 250 |
Installation |
acceptor-stop-max-wait | The max duration (in milliseconds) before, on component stop, each acceptor is stopped by force. | 500 |
Runtime |
processor-pool-size | The size of the thread pool used to process Message Exchanges. Once a message is accepted, its processing is delegated to one of the thread of this pool. | 10 | Runtime |
processor-max-pool-size | The maximum size of the thread pool used to process Message Exchanges. The difference between this size and the processor-pool-size represents the dynamic threads that can be created and destroyed during overhead processing time. |
50 |

300 |
Runtime |
processor-stop-max-wait | The max duration (in milliseconds) of message exchange processing on stop phase (for all processors). |
15000 |
Runtime |
time-beetween-async-cleaner-runs | The time (in milliseconds) between two runs of the asynchronous message exchange cleaner. |
2000 |
Installation |
properties-file | Name of the file containing properties used as reference by other parameters. Parameters reference the property name using a placeholder in the following pattern ${myPropertyName}. At runtime, the expression is replaced by the value of the property. The properties file can be reloaded using the JMX API of the component. The runtime configuration MBean provides an operation to reload these place holders. Check the service unit parameters that support this reloading. The value of this parameter is :
|
- | Installation |
monitoring-sampling-period | Period, in seconds, of a sample used by response time probes of the monitoring feature. | 300 | Installation |
activate-flow-tracing | Enable ('true') or disable ('false') the flow tracing. This value can be overridden at service consumer or service provider level, or at exchange level. | true | Runtime |
propagate-flow-tracing-activation | Control whether the flow tracing activation state must be propagated to next flow steps or not. If 'true', the flow tracing activation state is propagated. This value can be overridden at service consumer level. | true | Runtime |
component-interceptors | Component interceptor configuration. See CDK Component interceptor configuration. | - | See Maven Petals plugin to known how to inject component interceptor configuration in component configuration |
* Definition of CDK parameter scopes:
- Installation: The parameter can be set during the installation of the component, by using the installation MBean (see JBI specifications for details about the installation sequence). If the parameter is optional and has not been defined during the development of the component, it is not available at installation time.
- Runtime: The paramater can be set during the installation of the component and during runtime. The runtime configuration can be changed using the CDK custom MBean named RuntimeConfiguration. If the parameter is optional and has not been defined during the development of the component, it is not available at installation and runtime times.
Interception configuration
Interceptors can be defined to inject some post or pre-processing in the component during service processing.
Using interceptor is very sensitive and must be manipulated only by power users. A non properly coded interceptor engaged in a component can lead to uncontrolled behaviors, out of the standard process.
Example of an interceptor configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jbi:jbi xmlns:jbi="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jbi" xmlns:petalsCDK="http://petals.ow2.org/components/extensions/version-5" ...> <jbi:component> <!--...--> <petalsCDK:component-interceptors> <petalsCDK:interceptor active="true" class="org.ow2.petals.myInterceptor" name="myInterceptorName"> <petalsCDK:param name="myParamName">myParamValue</petalsCDK:param> <petalsCDK:param name="myParamName2">myParamValue2</petalsCDK:param> </petalsCDK:interceptor> </petalsCDK:component-interceptors> <!--...--> </jbi:component> </jbi:jbi>

Business monitoring
MONIT traces
Each service provider exposed in Petals ESB is able to log MONIT traces with following information:
- on service provider invocation, when receiving an incoming request, with following attributes:
- traceCode set to provideFlowStepBegin,
- flowInstanceId set to the flow instance identifier retrieved from the incoming request,
- flowStepId set to an UUID value,
- flowStepInterfaceName set to the service provider interface name,
- flowStepServiceName set to the service provider service name,
- flowStepOperationName set to the operation of the invoked service provider,
- flowStepEndpointName set to the service provider endpoint name,
- flowPreviousStepId set to the step identifier of the previous step, retrieved from the incoming request.
- on external service provider invocation, when sending a request to the external service provider, with following attributes:
- traceCode set to provideExtFlowStepBegin,
- flowInstanceId set to the flow instance identifier retrieved from the incoming request,
- flowStepId set to an UUID value,
- flowPreviousStepId set to the step identifier of the previous step that is the internal processing of the incoming request into the BC.
- on external service provider termination, when receiving the outgoing response of the external service provider, with following attributes:
- traceCode set to provideExtFlowStepEnd or provideExtFlowStepFailure,
- flowInstanceId set to the flow instance identifier retrieved from the incoming request,
- flowStepId set to the flow step identifier defined for the external service provider invocation.
- on service provider termination, when returning the outgoing response, with following attributes:
- traceCode set to provideFlowStepEnd or provideFlowStepFailure,
- flowInstanceId set to the flow instance identifier retrieved from the incoming request,
- flowStepId set to the flow step identifier defined on incoming request receipt.
Flow tracing activation
The flow tracing (ie. MONIT traces generation) is defined according to the property 'org.ow2.petals.monitoring.business.activate-flow-tracing' of the incoming request. If the property does not exist, the parameter activate-flow-tracing of the service provider definition will be inspected. If no parameter is defined at service provider level, the component configuration parameter 'activate-flow-tracing' is used. Finally, by default, the flow tracing is enabled.
