Oracle Process Cloud (https://cloud.oracle.com/process) allows to invoke SOAP services, along with REST services. You can define a library of SOAP services in Oracle Process Cloud application and use them within the process. This helps to integrate with business logic running on premise.
I have implemented regular SOAP service in ADF BC, just to test how it works to invoke it from Process Cloud:
SOAP service method accepts employee ID and checks the status. ADF BC application is deployed on standalone WLS. Make sure to select correct deployment profile, when deploying ADF BC with SOAP on standalone server, otherwise SOAP service reference will be missing in deployed application. You should use ADF BC service deployment profile:
Once SOAP service is deployed, you can access WSDL file through Enterprise Manager. Oracle Process Cloud currently doesn't support direct SOAP references, instead you must provide WSDL file copy for Web Service registration:
Download WSDL file from URL (here is the sample WSDL, I was using for my test - HrModuleService.wsdl). This is how it looks like, it contains SOAP service description:
Here you can see Oracle Process Cloud interface. It looks quite user friendly and functional, this is what I like about it. On the left side, there is menu with different objects - Processes, Web Forms, Web Services, etc.:
To add new SOAP service reference is fairly easy, provide a name and upload WSDL file:
Once service is registered, we can go to the process diagram and select Service component from the palette:
Drag and drop it on the diagram, Implementation section will be opened, where you should specify SOAP service reference to be invoked:
Select Service Call from the list, this allows to invoke SOAP Web Service:
Once option for Service Call will be selected, you will be able to select Web Service reference. I have defined only one service, it is listed in the popup - select it:
Operation field is listing all available methods from the service, select one of the operations to be invoked:
Data associations are available to define correct mapping for the input/output values for the SOAP Web Service call, this can be done through Process Cloud composer window:
