I often get asked to help developers with setting up UMS, but in fact mostly focusing on the SMTP server.

In the next steps I will show how you can setup a HelloWorld notification Service with reviewing the results in less than five minutes.

Prerequisites:

Installed SOA or BPM Quickstart. See Danilos post for details : https://thecattlecrew.wordpress.com/2014/06/28/oracle-bpm-12c-quick-start-installation-uncensored/

Get FakeSMTP.jar on your development machine: https://nilhcem.github.io/FakeSMTP/

Step 1 „“ Start WLS

Start the IntegratedWebLogicServer

Step 2 – Start the Fake SMTP

Enter in the command line:

java -jar fakeSMTP-2.0.jar

After the Application has started up click the „Start Server“ button.

Step 3 „“ Configure UMS in the Enterprise Manager

Log into EM

Edit the Email Driver Properties

Create a new Configuration with the name localhost and the outgoing mail server localhost and save it.

Step 4 „“ HelloWorld Notification Composite

Create a new SOA Application with a SOA Project

Create a Synchronous BPEL with standard settings

Add an UMS as a reference, add only outbound notification details, set Message as String type and wire it to the BPEL

Edit the BPEL Flow

Add an invoke of the UMS reference and create a new input variable for the UMS reference.

Add an Assign before the Invoke and map the BPEL input string to the message payload.

Deploy the composite to the application server and test your service via EM

And there you go.
