h1. Rationale and Context

An enterprise wants to delay some operations off-peak hours. Instead of calling operations directly, we will bufferize them, and send them later, when a trigger signal comes (might be automated, or activated by user).

h1. Solution

h2. Overall solution

We want to call the operation "AddIntegers" on a service "MathOperations", using a buffer to process all operations in one time. MathOperations needs two integer parameters, <integer1> and <integer2>, and&nbsp; returns their sum.

Message process :


* Send several messages to an EIP pattern "Aggregator", which bufferize the messages
* Send a trigger message to *EipAggregator*
* *EipAggregator* sends an aggregated message to the next step, *EipSPlitter* in our case.
* *EipSplitter* splits the aggregated message into the multiple messages.
* *EipSPlitter* sends the multiple messages to the operation *AddIntegers* on the service *MathOperations*
* *MathOperations.AddIntegers* processes the messages and sends a response



h2. Petals Settings and Messages Flows

{gliffy:name=Petals RMI-EIP-JSR181|align=left|size=L|version=5}

## One SA containing one sample JSR181 SU: "MathOperations" with the operation "AddIntegers"

*Message flows:*
# From SE-RMI to SE-EIP "Aggregator"
# From SE-EIP "Aggregator" to SE-EIP "Splitter"
# From SE-EIP "Splitter" to JSR181 "MathOperations"

*This usecase was tested with:*


* Petals ESB 3.1, Petals-SE-EIP 2.4.3, Petals-SE-Jsr-181 1.1.3, Petals-SE-RMI-1.1.1, Petals webconsole 2.0.3. Configurations were generated using Petals Studio 1.1.0
* Petals ESB 3.1.1, Petals-SE-EIP 2.5, Petals-SE-Jsr-181 1.1.3, Petals-SE-RMI-1.1.2, Petals webconsole 2.0.4. Configurations were generated using Petals Studio 1.1.1

*Explanation of the Xpath operations (you can look at this great* *[Xpath tutorial|http://www.w3schools.com/XPath/default.asp]**)*


Retrieve elements inside the <AddIntegers> node :

{code:lang=xml}<eip:aggregator-correlation>boolean(/*[local-name()="AddIntegers"])</eip:aggregator-correlation>{code}

Triggers messages when receiving <equals/> in the node <AddIntegers> :

{code:lang=xml}<eip:test>boolean(/*[local-name()="AddIntegers"]/*[local-name()="equals"])</eip:test>{code}

h1. Running the use case

To test this use case, you need to deploy the Petals-SE-EIP, Petals-SE-RMI, Petals-SE-JSR181 and run the webconsole.

Deploy the SA containing the SU su-jsr181-MathOperations-provide. Deploy the SA&nbsp;sa-Eip-AggregatorSplitter.

Then we can send test messages from the webconsole. For example, we will send three messages, with InOut MEP (message exchange pattern), and then send the trigger message.

{code:lang=xml|title=Message 1|theme=Default}
<AddIntegers xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" >
<integer1>1</integer1>
<integer2>2</integer2>
</AddIntegers>
{code}

When everything is fine, you get this response, just saying the message was buffered :
{code:lang=xml|title=Response message|theme=Default}
<result xmlns="http://petals.ow2.org/petals-se-eip/aggregator">Aggregator: the content is buffered by the pattern</result>
{code}

We can continue to bufferize messages...
{code:lange=xml|title=Message 2|theme=Default}
<AddIntegers xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" >
<integer1>3</integer1>
<integer2>4</integer2>
</AddIntegers>
{code}

{code:lang=xml|title=Message 3|theme=Default}
<AddIntegers xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" >
<integer1>5</integer1>
<integer2>6</integer2>
</AddIntegers>
{code}

Let us send the trigger message :
{code:lang=xml|title=Message 4 - Trigger|theme=Default}
<AddIntegers xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" >
<equals/>
</AddIntegers>
{code}

Now all messages are processed by MathOperations :
{code:lang=xml|title=Response message|theme=Default}
<result xmlns="http://petals.ow2.org/petals-se-eip/splitter">
<dlwmin:AddIntegersResponse xmlns:dlwmin="http://test.petalslink.com" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<returnMessage xmlns="">3</returnMessage>
</dlwmin:AddIntegersResponse>
<dlwmin:AddIntegersResponse xmlns:dlwmin="http://test.petalslink.com" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<returnMessage xmlns="">7</returnMessage>
</dlwmin:AddIntegersResponse>
<dlwmin:AddIntegersResponse xmlns:dlwmin="http://test.petalslink.com" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<returnMessage xmlns="">11</returnMessage>
</dlwmin:AddIntegersResponse>
</result>
{code}
