Deploy using Maven and Ant

Learn how to deploy Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Service Bus composite applications using the Maven and Ant based approach in an Oracle SOA Suite in WebLogic Kubernetes Operator environment.

Before deploying composite applications, we need to create a Kubernetes pod in the same cluster where the Oracle SOA Suite domain is running, so that composite applications can be deployed using the internal Kubernetes Service for the Administration Server URL.

Place the SOA/Oracle Service Bus composite project at a share location (for example at /share/soa-deploy) mounted at /composites inside container. Make sure to provide oracle user ( uid: 1000 and gid: 0) permission to directory /share/soa-deploy, so that it is accessible and writable inside the container.

$ sudo chown -R 1000:0 /share/soa-deploy

Follow the steps in this section to create a container and then use it to deploy Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Service Bus composite applications using Maven or Ant.

Create a composite deployment container

Before creating a Kubernetes pod, make sure that the Oracle SOA Suite Docker image is available on a node, or you can create an image pull secret so that the pod can pull the Docker image on the host where it gets created.

Create an image pull secret to pull image soasuite:12.2.1.4 by the Kubernetes pod:

$ kubectl create secret docker-registry image-secret -n soans --docker-server=your-registry.com --docker-username=xxxxxx --docker-password=xxxxxxx  --docker-email=my@company.com

Create a PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim (soadeploy-pv.yaml and soadeploy-pvc.yaml) with sample composites for build and deploy placed at /share/soa-deploy.

a) Create a PersistentVolume with the sample provided (soadeploy-pv.yaml), which uses NFS (you can use hostPath or any other supported PV type):

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolume
metadata:
  name: soadeploy-pv
spec:
  storageClassName: soadeploy-storage-class
  capacity:
   storage: 10Gi
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  # Valid values are Retain, Delete or Recycle
  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain
  # hostPath:
  nfs:
    server: X.X.X.X
    path: "/share/soa-deploy"

b) Apply the YAML:

$ kubectl apply -f soadeploy-pv.yaml

c) Create a PersistentVolumeClaim (soadeploy-pvc.yaml):

kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: soadeploy-pvc
  namespace: soans
spec:
  storageClassName: soadeploy-storage-class
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 10Gi

d) Apply the YAML:

$ kubectl apply -f soadeploy-pvc.yaml

Create a composite deploy pod using soadeploy.yaml to mount the composites inside pod at /composites:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  labels:
    run: soadeploy
  name: soadeploy
  namespace: soans
spec:
  imagePullSecrets:
  - name: image-secret
  containers:
  - image: soasuite:12.2.1.4
    name: soadeploy
    env:
    - name: M2_HOME
      value: /u01/oracle/oracle_common/modules/org.apache.maven_3.2.5
    command: ["/bin/bash", "-c", "echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin' >> $HOME/.bashrc; sleep infinity"]
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
    volumeMounts:
    - name: mycomposite
      mountPath: /composites
  volumes:
  - name: mycomposite
    persistentVolumeClaim:
       claimName: soadeploy-pvc

Create the pod:
```
$ kubectl apply -f soadeploy.yaml
```
Once the Kubernetes pod is deployed, exec into the pod to perform Maven/Ant based build and deploy:
```
$ kubectl exec -it -n soans soadeploy -- bash
```

Maven based build and deploy

Note: Make sure to execute these commands inside the soadeploy pod.

Set up proxy details for Maven to pull dependencies from the internet.

If your environment is not running behind a proxy, then skip this step. Otherwise, replace REPLACE-WITH-PROXY-HOST, REPLACE-WITH-PROXY-PORT and the value for nonProxyHosts attribute per your environment and create the settings.xml:

$ mkdir $HOME/.m2
$ cat <<EOF > $HOME/.m2/settings.xml
<settings>
<proxies>
<proxy>
<active>true</active>
<protocol>http</protocol>
<host>REPLACE-WITH-PROXY-HOST</host>
<port>REPLACE-WITH-PROXY-PORT</port>
<nonProxyHosts>soainfra-cluster-soa-cluster|soainfra-adminserver</nonProxyHosts>
</proxy>
</proxies>
</settings>
EOF

For Oracle SOA Suite composite applications

Set up the environment for Maven:

#Perform Maven Sync
$ cd /u01/oracle/oracle_common/plugins/maven/com/oracle/maven/oracle-maven-sync/12.2.1/
$ mvn install:install-file \
    -DpomFile=oracle-maven-sync-12.2.1.pom \
    -Dfile=oracle-maven-sync-12.2.1.jar

#install Maven plugin
$ mvn help:describe \
    -Dplugin=com.oracle.maven:oracle-maven-sync \
    -Ddetail

#push libraries into internal repository
$ mvn com.oracle.maven:oracle-maven-sync:push \
    -DoracleHome=/u01/oracle \
    -DtestingOnly=false

$ mvn archetype:crawl \
    -Dcatalog=$HOME/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml \
    -DarchetypeArtifactId=oracle-soa-application \
    -DarchetypeVersion=12.2.1-4-0

Build the SOA Archive (SAR) for your sample deployment available at /composites/mavenproject/my-soa-app:
```
$ cd /composites/mavenproject/my-soa-app
$ mvn package
```
The SAR will be generated at /composites/mavenproject/my-soa-app/my-project/target/sca_my-project.jar.

Deploy into the Oracle SOA Suite instance. For example, if the instance URL is http://soainfra-cluster-soa-cluster:8011 with credentials username: weblogic and password: Welcome1, enter the following commands:

$ cd /composites/mavenproject/my-soa-app
$ mvn pre-integration-test \
    -DoracleServerUrl=http://soainfra-cluster-soa-cluster:8011 \
    -DsarLocation=/composites/mavenproject/my-soa-app/my-project/target/sca_my-project.jar \
    -Doverwrite=true \
    -DforceDefault=true \
    -Dcomposite.partition=default \
    -Duser=weblogic  -Dpassword=Welcome1

For Oracle Service Bus composite applications

Set up the environment for Maven:

#Perform Maven Sync
$ cd /u01/oracle/oracle_common/plugins/maven/com/oracle/maven/oracle-maven-sync/12.2.1/
$ mvn install:install-file \
    -DpomFile=oracle-maven-sync-12.2.1.pom \
    -Dfile=oracle-maven-sync-12.2.1.jar

#push libraries into internal repository
$ mvn com.oracle.maven:oracle-maven-sync:push \
    -DoracleHome=$ORACLE_HOME
$ mvn archetype:crawl \
    -Dcatalog=$HOME/.m2/archetype-catalog.xml

#Verify the mvn setup
$ mvn help:describe \
    -DgroupId=com.oracle.servicebus.plugin \
    -DartifactId=oracle-servicebus-plugin \
    -Dversion=12.2.1-4-0

Build the Oracle Service Bus Archive (sbconfig.sbar)

Build sbconfig.sbar for your sample deployment, available at /composites/mavenproject/HelloWorldSB:
```
$ cd /composites/mavenproject/HelloWorldSB
$ mvn com.oracle.servicebus.plugin:oracle-servicebus-plugin:package
```
The Oracle Service Bus Archive (SBAR) will be generated at /composites/mavenproject/HelloWorldSB/.data/maven/sbconfig.sbar.
Deploy the generated sbconfig.sbar into the Oracle Service Bus instance. For example, if the Administration URL is http://soainfra-adminserver:7011 with credentials username: weblogic and password: Welcome1, enter the following commands: :
```
$ cd /composites/mavenproject/HelloWorldSB
$ mvn pre-integration-test   \
    -DoracleServerUrl=t3://soainfra-adminserver:7011 \
    -DoracleUsername=weblogic -DoraclePassword=Welcome1
```

Ant based build and deploy

Note: Make sure to execute these commands inside the soadeploy pod.

For Oracle SOA Suite composite applications

Build an Oracle SOA Suite composite application using Ant. For example, if the composite application to be deployed is available at /composites/antproject/Project, enter the following commands:
```
$ cd /u01/oracle/soa/bin
$ ant -f ant-sca-package.xml \
      -DcompositeDir=/composites/antproject/Project \
      -DcompositeName=Project \
      -Drevision=0.1
```
The SOA Archive is generated at /composites/antproject/Project/deploy/sca_Project_rev0.1.jar, which will be used for deploying.

Deploy into the Oracle SOA Suite instance using Ant:

$ cd /u01/oracle/soa/bin
$ ant -f ant-sca-deploy.xml \
      -DserverURL=http://soainfra-cluster-soa-cluster:8011  \
      -DsarLocation=/composites/antproject/Project/deploy/sca_Project_rev0.1.jar \
      -Doverwrite=true \
      -Duser=weblogic -Dpassword=Welcome1
