Step to setup Meta Data Store (MDS) in Weblogic server using Jdeveloper – SOA 11g

 It helps to reuse of SOA Artifacts such as wsdl, xsd, and fault policy, ect… 

MDS connection can be “File Base MDS” or “DB Based MDS”.

Under “/ integration/seed/” create dir as “apps” if it is not there.  Under apps create your own dir and store your xsd, wsdl, ect… it should match your schema structure.

Steps to create SOA_MDS connection in Jdeveloper, Go to New à Connection àSOA-MDS Connection,

 

In “SOA-MDS Connection” screen select connection Type “DB Based MDS” or “File Based MDS”

To use the MDS xsd or wsdl file add an entry in Application Resources à Descriptors à ADF-META-INFà adf-config.xml

  

         namespace metadata-store-usage="mstore-usage_2" path="/apps/bs"/

       

property value="C:/Oracle/Middleware/jdeveloper/integration"                       

 name="metadata-path"

Go to “Application Resources” and open adf-config.xml file 

          

In composite refer as “oramds:/apps/bs/xsd/Test.xsd”

Deploy MDS Repository to Weblogic Server.

Create SOA Application and SOA project with empty composite. In SOA Project, under “SOA content” create your own directory structure to arrange you xsd, wsdl and fault policy files, etc…

To deploy the MDS, right click on MDSApplication and select Deploy

In deployment Action Screen selects “Deploy to SOA Bundle” and finish the deployment.

It creates .zip file under your application location as Boundle.zip.

Deploy this file into corresponding em console partition.
