Running SCA Tests from Maven

In this post, let’s look at how we can run SCA test suites from Maven.

To get started, we are going to need a test.  Let’s set up our process to add two numbers.  Go ahead and open the XML Schema for the inputs and outputs and change it to take two int’s as input and return a single int as output, as shown below:

Now update the assign activity’s copy rule in the BPEL process to add the two numbers together.  The “from” part of the copy rule should look like this:

$inputVariable.payload/client:a + $inputVariable.payload/client:b

Now, let’s define a test.

Right click on the testsuites folder, and choose Create Test Suite.  Give it a name like test_suite1.  Then the Create Composite Test wizard will open.  Click on Next twice to get to the Input Message page.  Click on Generate Sample and set the values for a and b to 1 and 2, like this:

<process xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/soaApp1/soaProject1/BPELProcess1">
  <a>1</a>
  <b>2</b>
</process>

Click on Next and then Generate Sample again and set the output to look like this:

<processResponse xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/soaApp1/soaProject1/BPELProcess1">
  <result>3</result>
</processResponse>

Click on Finish.  Now we have a test.

Next, we need to create a jndi.properties file.  This file is required by sca-test – regardless of whether you run it from ANT or Maven, etc.

Create a new file in your project and set up the content like this:

java.naming.factory.initial=weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=t3://my.server:7003/soa-infra
java.naming.security.principal=weblogic
java.naming.security.credentials=welcome1
dedicated.connection=true
dedicated.rmicontext=true

We also need to update the POM to tell Maven where the jndi.properties is located.

Open the POM, uncomment the jndi.properties.input property and make sure it points to the right file.  If you called your file jndi.properties and put it in the root of your project, then the example provided in the POM is the right value for you.

<!-- these parameters are used by the test goal -->
<!-- if you are using the sca-test (test) goal, you need to uncomment the following
     line and point it to your jndi.properties file. -->
<jndi.properties.input>${basedir}/jndi.properties</jndi.properties.input>
<scatest.result>${scac.output.dir}/testResult</scatest.result>
<!--  input is the name of the composite to run test suties against -->
<input>soaProject1</input>

Now you can run the tests by executing the Maven verify goal – either in JDeveloper or from the command line.

The output will look something like this:

Now, if you were running this build in a CI server, like Hudson, then you could have it collect the results and chart them for you.

In the next post, let’s add some more interesting things to our SOA Application.
