Chapter 9: Configuring BPEL Services
■ Embedded Storage — This option sets the persistence mode to persistent, using
the embedded Hypersonic database. Optionally, you can specify a storage
directory for the persistent processes. If you do not specify a storage directory, the
default is the staging directory. The database is created as needed in the specified
storage directory when the service starts. If you move or delete the database, a
new database is created the next time the service starts. Existing databases in the
staging directory are deleted (on service restart) when you specify a new storage
location.
When you select Embedded Storage, the Persistence field in the Init Parameters
section of the SMC will display the value Embedded Storage.
(This is the default mode.)
■ Other Database — This option sets the persistence mode to persistent, using a
database other than the embedded database. When this option is selected, you
must provide additional details required to connect to the database. Only Oracle
and MySQL database types are supported (see Step 3). When you select this
option, the Persistence field in the Init Parameters section of the SMC will
display a value for the selected database type:
❑ Oracle:
type=”oracle” username=”username” host=”localhost” port=”1521”
❑ MySQL:
type=”mysql” name=”dbname” username=”username” host=”localhost”
port=”1521”
Important When using an external database, each BPEL service instance must be
configured with its own database.
3. If you selected Other Database as the data source type, enter the following Database
Options:
■ Database Type — Select either Oracle or MySQL
■ Database Name — Optional
■ Machine Name — Optional
■ Database Port — Optional
■ Username — Optional
■ Password — Optional
Important When using an Oracle or MySQL database, you must add the JDBC driver JAR file
to the container classpath (see “Adding JAR files to an ESB Container” on page 69
for instructions).
