Introduction
This sample demonstrates the use of the Transaction Mediator using a sample distributed transaction. For information the mediator, refer to section Transaction Mediator.
Prerequisites
Refer to Prerequisites section in ESB Samples Setup page.
Building the Sample
1. First, let's take a look at the synapse configuration for the ESB used for this sample. We have given a sample below:
<definitions xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse http://synapse.apache.org/ns/2010/04/configuration/synapse_config.xsd">
<sequence name="myFaultHandler">
<log level="custom">
<property name="text" value="** Rollback Transaction**"/>
</log>
<transaction action="rollback"/>
<send/>
</sequence>
<sequence name="main" onError="myFaultHandler">
<in>
<send>
<endpoint>
<address uri="http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService"/>
</endpoint>
</send>
</in>
<out>
<transaction action="new"/>
<log level="custom">
<property name="text" value="** Reporting to the Database esbdb**"/>
</log>
<dbreport useTransaction="true" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
<connection>
<pool>
<dsName>jdbc/XADerbyDS</dsName>
<user>synapse</user>
<password>synapse</password>
</pool>
</connection>
<statement>
<sql>delete from company where name =?</sql>
<parameter expression="//m0:return/m1:symbol/child::text()"
xmlns:m0="http://services.samples"
xmlns:m1="http://services.samples/xsd"
type="VARCHAR"/>
</statement>
</dbreport>
<log level="custom">
<property name="text" value="** Reporting to the Database esbdb1**"/>
</log>
<dbreport useTransaction="true" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
<connection>
<pool>
<dsName>jdbc/XADerbyDS1</dsName>
<user>synapse</user>
<password>synapse</password>
</pool>
</connection>
<statement>
<sql>INSERT into company values ('IBM','c4',12.0)</sql>
</statement>
</dbreport>
<transaction action="commit"/>
<send/>
</out>
</sequence>
</definitions>
2. The above sample configuration uses two data sources and database instances to point to the sample databases. You have to manually create these in your environment for the sample to work.
- For information on creating database instances, refer to Database Instances. Refer the Sample Setup Guide to see how you can set up the derby database server.
- For information on creating the two sample XA data sources, refer to section Data Sources.
4.
For more information on starting ESB with different synapse configurations, refer to section Starting Sample ESB Configurations.
5. A message should appear in the command or text Linux console stating the server started successfully.
6. Deploy the back-end service SimpleStockQuoteService, and start the Axis2 server using the instructions given in section Starting Sample Back-End Services.
Infor
WSO2 ESB comes with a default JTA transaction manager (Atomikos), which allows you to run distributed transactions without deploying the ESB on an external application server.
You now have a running ESB instance, databases and a back-end service deployed in your environment.
Executing the Sample
We run this setup using the sample Stock Quote Client, which can operate in several modes. For information on this sample client, refer to section Stock Quote Client.
Execute the following ant command to invoke the sample client.
ant stockquote -Daddurl=http://localhost:9000/services/SimpleStockQuoteService -Dtrpurl=http://localhost:8280/ -Dsymbol=SUN/
In this sample, a record is delete from one database and added to a second database. If either of the operations (deleting from the first database and adding to the other) fails, all operations will roll back, and the records will be untouched.
