Prerequisites

RSA 7.0

•IBM Rational Software Architect 7 (to create new UML2 Deployment Models)

 

1.Switch to the Modeling Perspective

 

a.Locate the Eclipse menu bar.
b.Select Window à Open Perspective.
c.Select Modeling.

 

 

1.Create a new UML Project

 

a.Select File à New à Project à UML Project and click next.
b.Enter the name of the project as ServiceDeployment and click next.
c.Under Templates select Blank Model.
d.Under Filename enter ServiceDeployment.
e.Under Default Diagram type select Deployment Diagram.
f.Click Finish to create the new project.

 

 

 

2.Import and Apply the Service Deployment Profile

 

a.Locate the ServiceDeployProfile example profile (or download from the LTSA Samples page).
b.Select File à Import à General à Existing Projects into Workspace and click next.
c.Under Select root directory, browse to the directory containing the root of the ServiceDeployProfile, select the directory and click ok.
d.Ensure the ServiceDeployProfile is checked under Projects: and click Finish.
e.In the Navigator View, select the ServiceDeployment Project created in Step 1.
f.Under the Models branch in the project, select the ServiceDeployment, right-click and select UML Properties from the pop-up context menu.
g.In the ServiceDeployment Properties dialog, select the ProfileApplication item (on the list to the left).
h.Right-click the ProfileApplication table and select Insert New Profile Application.
i.Select the Profile In Workspace option and browse to the ServiceDeployProfile project imported in a-d.  Open the tree and select Profile.epx and click ok and ok again.
j.Select File à Save to update the ServiceDeployment project.

 

 

3.Create a Single Servlet Deployment Architecture

 

a.Under the ServiceDeployment Model, select and open the Main diagram.
b.Now we need to add some objects to this diagram.  Locate the Palette toolbar to the right of the main diagram window and select the Node drop-down list and select Stereotyped Node.
c.Place the new Node on the diagram and select Create <<Servlet>> Node.
d.Name the new node object, Servlet1.
e.Now create a new Stereotyped Node, and select its type as <<Server>>.
f.Repeat the process for a new Stereotyped Node of type <<ThreadPool>>.  Select the new ThreadPool node and in the Properties view add an attribute named "size" of <Primitive Type> Integer, and Default Value 10.
g.Now add two Stereotyped Artifacts, one for each BPEL orchestration.  Select the type as <<ServiceOrchestration>>.
h.Now we need to link the objects.  Locate the Palette toolbar to the right of the main diagram window and select the Manifestation drop-down list and select Deploy.  Select the first ServiceOrchestration node and link it to the Servlet1 node.  Repeat linking the second Service Orchestration node to the Servlet1 node.
i.To link the other objects, select the Association relationship in the Palette and link Servlet1 to the ThreadPool node and Server node.
j.Select File à Save to update the ServiceDeployment project.

 

 

 

 

4.Create a Dual Servlet Deployment Architecture

 

a.Under the ServiceDeployment project, select Models, right-click and select Create New Model.
b.Click next and under filename enter ServiceDeployment2. Click Finish to create a new model.
c.Now repeat step 3. but add two <<Servlet>> and two <<ThreadPool>> stereotyped nodes.
d.Link one orchestration to each Servlet and each Servlet to a ThreadPool.
e.Finally link each Servlet to the one WebServer.
a.Select File à Save to update the ServiceDeployment project.

5.Export the Models for use with WS-Engineer

 

a.Select File à Export and choose Other à UML XMI Interchange Model and click next.
b.Under Source Models browse and select the ServiceDeployment project, and select the ServiceDeployment.emx model.
c.Under Destination Directory select a suitable output folder.
d.Check Recreate IDs and Export applied profiles.
e.Click Finish to export the model in XMI XML format.
f.Repeat a-e for the ServiceDeployment2 model in the same project.
g.Now both of these exported models can be used as input to the Deployment Checking example in Tutorial 1.
