Package toolbox.oracle.xpath.ext Description

Provides XPath extension functions that can be used with the Oracle XSLT Mapper and the Oracle BPEL and Oracle Mediator service engines.

Configuration

The XPath Extension Functions are packaged separately for design time and run time.

Design Time Configuration

Follow the instructions below to make the XPath Extension Functions available in Oracle JDeveloper.

• Start Oracle JDeveloper
• Navigate to Tools -> Preferences -> SOA
• Click Add and browse to the toolbox_oracle_xpath_ext.jar file located in the lib directory of the module distribution.
• Restart Oracle JDeveloper

A User Defined Extension Functions group should now be available in the XSLT Mapper and XPath Expression Builder.

Run Time Configuration

These instructions assume that Oracle SOA Suite is hosted on Oracle WebLogic Server and that the following holds true:

• <Middleware Home> refers to the root directory containing Oracle Fusion Middleware products.
• <Oracle SOA Home> refers to the sub-directory of <Middleware Home> that contains an Oracle SOA Suite instance.

Perform the following from a command shell to make the XPath Extension Functions available to the Oracle SOA Suite run time.

• Change to the <Oracle SOA Home>/soa/modules/oracle.soa.ext_11.1.1 directory.
• Copy the following files from the lib directory of the toolbox distribution to the current directory.
  • toolbox_core.jar
  • toolbox_web.jar
• Copy the xbean.jar file from the $TOOLBOX_XMLBEANS_HOME/lib directory to the current directory.
• Copy the toolbox_oracle_xpath_ext_runtime.jar file from the lib directory of the module distribution to the current directory.
• Run the Ant command to rebuild the SOA Suite extension library.

  NOTE: A version of Apache Ant is available in the <Middleware Home>/modules directory.

• Restart all WebLogic managed servers.

OSB Configuration

Some of the XPath Extension Functions are also available for use with Oracle Service Bus. Follow the steps below to make the XPath Extension Functions available in Oracle Service Bus

• Change to <Oracle OSB Home>/config/xpath-functions directory.
• Copy the following files from the lib directory of the toolbox distribution to the current directory.
  • toolbox_core.jar
  • toolbox_web.jar
• Copy the toolbox_oracle_xpath_ext_runtime.jar file from the lib directory of the module distribution to the current directory.
• Update the osb-built-in.xml file with the contents of the share/osb/osb_xpath_fragment.xml file distributed with this module.
• Restart the OSB domain (including the Administration Server)
