How to pass JNDI name dynamically to an Adapter

Recently, I've been trying configure an MQ adapter that could enqueue data of any structure into specified queue based on the specified JNDI, all passed dynamically at runtime. This post decsribes how you can pass the JNDI Name dynamically to an Adapter.

All you have to do is define a String variable (say myJndiName) that stores your JNDI name (eis/MQ/someThing...already configured on Weblogic) and pass this variable into Invoke Activity properties directly in the .bpel source.   

Note that you'll not be able to find this property in the Invoke Activity > Properties tab.


And that's it. You can assign different values on the fly to the variable myJndiName and same adapter can enqueue in different JNDI locations. It also works for FTP and JMS adapters too.

    Hey Neeraj,

    This was a breather for us.
    You have provided a very useful information. We were successfully able to dynamically select a JNDI and also dynamically select a queue and post a message to the same.

    Thanks a lot!

    Regards,
    Pavan

    Hi Neeraj,

    thx for useful post,actually I follow the http://shrikworld.blogspot.in/2011/04/change-db-jndi-dynamically-in-soa-11g.html and I use BPEL 2.0 so I set the property as you mention but when I try to change the JNDI in Attribute Properties as mentioned in the above link,it it is not changed and I get the old jndi only,Plz tell where I missed.

    Regards
    Mani

    Hello Neeraj

    Your example for setting dynamically a JDNI in dbAdapter is great and pointed us in the right direction.
    But we have a veri different problem now with dbDapter. We need to set all the connection parameters at runtime (ConnectionURL,password,username) for the dbAdapter. Is that possible with dbAdapter or maybe we should try a different approach or technology.

    Regards
    Sergio

      Hi Sergio,

      I'd suggest creating all the DB connections in the WLS with different JNDIs and then pass the JNDI as input parameter for the desired connection.

    Hi Neeraj,

    I done ur post, but I have a doubt,

    When I will changing the JNDI name , every time I need to go the code in assign activity to manually mention JNDI name.

    Again I need to deploy right.

    So where I getting dynamic pass the JNDI.

    It's only a static.


    Please clarify my question.

    Thanks
