h1. Introduction

Petals ESB provides support for managing the system using the scripting language [Apache Ant 1.5 (or newer)|http://ant.apache.org/]. This section details the mapping of the management functions provided through JMX management beans to Ant tasks.

Ant scripts are written using XML. Each task is defined syntactically as named XML attributes and XML elements. Each task defines an element; nested elements are contained within the task element.

Writers of Ant scripts should promote portability of such scripts by supplying necessary Ant task parameters explicitly, rather than depend on implementation-specific default values. Parameterization of scripts, using Ant properties, is a good practice.

This documentation is a part of the JBI specifications.

{warning}Java 7 is required to run this version or upper of the Petals Ant tasks.{warning}

h1. Petals ESB Ant tasks

h2. General

h3. Error Suppression
All Petals ESB Ant tasks include an optional attribute, “failOnError”, which defaults to true. If this attribute’s
value is false, the task will never fail even if an error occurs during the Ant task execution.

{anchor:xmlOutput}
h3. Attribute {{xmlOutput}}

If the {{xmlOutput}} attribute is specified, the task must produce an XML document conforming to the following XML schema:
{code}
default namespace = "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jbi/component-info-list"
start = element component-info-list {
# version = "1.0" in this revision
attribute version { xsd:decimal },
component-info*
}

component-info =
element component-info {
attribute type { "service-engine" | "binding-component" | "shared-library" },
attribute name { text },
attribute state { "Shutdown" | "Started" | "Stopped" | "Unknown" },
element description { text },
element* -this:* { text }*
}
{code}

If {{xmlOutput}} is not specified, an implementation-defined text format MUST be output. An example of such an output is below:
{code}
-----------------------------------------
------------ Service Engines ------------
-----------------------------------------
Name: Test_engine1
State: Started
Description: Test engine with shared library.

Name: ant_test_engine2
State: Shutdown
Description: Yet another test engine.
{code}

An Ant script to produce equivalent XML output, and the output itself is show in the next two listings.
{code}
<jbi-list-service-engines xmlOutput="jbi.output"/>
<!-- The value of the property ${jbi.output} contains the XML output of the task. -->
<!-- The user can acccess the XML text using the property value. For instance: -->
<echo message="${jbi.output}"/>
{code}
{code}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<component-info-list xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jbi/component-info-list" version="1.0">
<component-info type="service-engine" name="Test_engine1" state="Started">
<description>Test engine with shared library.</description>
</component-info>
<component-info type="service-engine" name="ant_test_engine2" state="Shutdown">
<description>Yet another test engine.</description>
</component-info>
</component-info-list>
{code}

The schema is used as follows:
* *component-info* contains information about a single component. It contains:
** *type*. This indicates the component type.
** *name*. The unique component name, as supplied by its installation descriptor.
** *state*. The execution state of the component. Note that extension states are substates of the “Started” state, and that if the component is in an extended state it will show as “started” in this attribute.
** *description*. The description of the component, as supplied by its installation descriptor.
** *optional extension elements*. This area allows the implementation to provide extra, implementation-specific component information.

h2. Task {{jbi-install-component}}

This task installs a JBI component (a service engine or binding component) into a Petals ESB container. The installation process provided by this task load and install the component. This task takes optional installation configuration parameters as name/value pairs for setting the attributes of the {{InstallerConfigurationMBean}} during the installation. The task takes the configuration parameters as
optional nested {{<param>}} elements, or using an optional {{params}} attribute if the parameters are in a file.

|| Attribute || Description || Default ||Required ? ||
| host | Target Petals ESB container. | {{localhost}} | No |
| port | JMX Remote port on the target server. | {{7700}} | No |
| username | User name for security. | "" | No |
| password | Password for security. | "" | No |
| file | Fully qualified installation file path name or URL. If an URL is set, it must be correctly encoded if needed. The file contains a component installation package. | | Yes |
| failOnError | Signal task failure to Ant. | {{true}} | No |
| params | Location of a text file (e.g. configuration.properties) that contains name/value pairs corresponding to the properties of the configuration MBean. | | No |

h3. Nested element {{<param>}}
This nested element is an optional child element containing an installation configuration parameter which will be passed to the install task. Multiple parameters require multiple {{<param>}} elements, one per parameter. This element takes a name/value pair for setting the property of the {{InstallerConfigurationMBean}} implemented by the installer of the component.
Note that the attribute name value is case sensitive. For example, if the configuration MBean has a attribute Foo as a “setFoo” not as a “setfoo”, then the name attribute value for the param element must be “Foo”. Passing the name attribute value as “foo” will result in a property not found error.

|| Attribute || Description || Default ||Required ? ||
| name | Name of the property on the InstallerConfigurationMBean. Note that the attribute name is case sensitive. For example, if the {{ConfigurationMBean}} has a attribute Foo as a “setFoo” not as a “setfoo”, then the name attribute for the param element should be “Foo”. Passing the name attribute as “foo” will result in a property not found error. | | Yes |
| value | Value of the property to be set. | | Yes |

h3. Attribute {{params}}

This attribute is optional, indicating the location of a file containing installation configuration parameters which will be passed to the install task. This attribute specifies the location of a file that contains a set of name/value pairs corresponding to the attributes of the {{InstallerConfigurationMBean}} implemented by the {{Bootstrap}} implementation of the component. The Ant task read the indicated file as a java.util.Properties file, and use each named property to set equivalent attributes of the installer extension MBean.
If the {{jbi-install-component}} element contains a {{<param>}} child element, as well as a {{params}} attribute, the Ant task combine the two parameter lists, giving precedence to those defined in the properties file indicated by the {{params}} attribute. This precedence rule allows tools to generate properties files that can customize standard Ant scripts for performing installation of components.

h3. Example

This example uses script-supplied parameters to provide the configuration data:
{code:xml}
<!-- install component -->
<jbi-install-component host = "localhost" port="7890" file = "${my.dev.dir.path}/bpel-engine.zip" />
<param name="Foo1" value="bar1" />
<param name="Foo2" value="bar2" />
</jbi-install-component>
{code}

Alternatively, an external file can be used to supply the configuration data:
{code}
<!-- install component -->
<jbi-install-component file="dir/component.zip" params="dir/params.properties" port="555"/>
where the contents of the dir/params.properties file are:
Foo1=bar1
Foo2=bar2
{code}

h1. Ant tasks relative to MONIT traces

h2. Task {{petals-monit-read-logfiles}}

This task reads your log files containing MONIT traces. MONIT traces are loaded in an internal object through a reference.

|| Attribute || Description || Default ||Required ? ||

This task extracts informations as property from previously loaded MONIT traces. This task is used in association with the task '{{petals-monit-read-logfiles}}' to load MONIT traces. Before to extract information from a flow step, it must be selected using search criteria provided as nested elements.

|| Attribute || Description || Default ||Required ? ||
| refid | Reference name of the internal object associated to MONIT traces loaded. | - | Yes |
| row | Index of the wanted flow step in all flow steps matching criterias | - | Yes, if criteria return more than one flow step |

h3. Nested elements

h4. Search criteria: {{flowStepCriteria}}

A search criteria operates as a filter on properties of a flow step. Flow steps for which a property with the given name '{{name}}` has the value given by '{{value}}' are selected.

h4. Flow step information extracted: {{flowStepInfo}}

The property given by its name '{{name}}' is retrieve from the flow step and put into the property with the given name '{{property}}.

h3. Example

{code}
<petals-monit-read-logfiles id="flows" dir="${petals.home}/logs/flow-monitoring" />
<petals-extract-flow-step-info refid="flows">

</petals-extract-flow-step-info>
{code}

h2. Task {{petals-assert-flow-instance}}

This task applies the given assertions as nested elements to the given flow instance previously read MONIT traces. This task is used in association with the task '{{petals-monit-read-logfiles}}' to load MONIT traces.

|| Attribute || Description || Default ||Required ? ||
| refid | Reference name of the internal object associated to MONIT traces loaded. | - | Yes |
| flowInstanceId | The flow instance identifier on which the given assertions must be validated | - | Yes |

h3. Nested elements

h4. Assertions to apply on a flow step of the flow instance: {{assertFlowStep}}

For the flow step identified by its index '{{flowStepIdx}}'' in the given flow instance:
* the assertions given as nested elements will be executed,
* a check is automatically applied on ending trace to validate its ending status (success or error) according to the attribute '{{endsWithError}}': if '{{true}}', the flow step must end with failure; if '{{false}}' or absent, the flow step must end successfully.
* and, if needed, information can be extracted using '{{flowStepInfo}}'.



Available assertions on a flow step are relative to its attributes:
* '{{attributeEquals}}': the actual value of the property identifier by '{{name}}' must be equals to the value given by '{{value}}',
* '{{attributeSet}}': the flow step must contain a property named '{{name}}'.
By default, assertion operates on attributes available on the beginning MONIT traces. Using '{{onEnd="true"}}' will force to use properties of the ending MONIT traces.

Extracted information from a flow step assertion block are available for next flow step assertion blocks.
