ADF/SOA/Weblogic: Enabling fiddler for all webservice requests made by weblogic server

Problem Description: In ADF/SOA or simple J2EE application we may have requirement to enable third party webservices and we want to see exact request and response messages. Fiddler comes handy to me. In this blog I want to set fiddler to show all request/response messages sent by weblogic.

Solution
1. Install Fiddler: You can download and install fiddler from https://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler

2. Modify setDomainEnv.sh and add below line
set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% -Dhttp.proxySet=true -Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8888

Thats all. Now whenever your weblogic server will make a request to third party server, that request will go via fiddler and you can see exact Request/Response messages is fiddler.

Its very useful in SOA framework where you need to invoke services very frequently.

Oracle Cloud: Using Cloud Berry to connect with Cloud Storage

Problem Description: In this blog I just want to show how can we use cloud berry to connect with Oracle Cloud Storage.

Solution
1. Get Oracle Cloud storage: To use Oracle Cloud storage you must have cloud storage account. You can get it from https://cloud.oracle.com/en_US/storage


2. Get details from Cloud environment: Once you have Oracle Cloud login you will have username/password and identity domain. Using this you can see you dashboard. From Dashboard you can launch cloud storage home page.

2. Install Cloud Berry: You can download and install Cloud Berry from http://www.cloudberrylab.com/explorer/openstack.aspx

3.Run Cloud Berry and Navigate to File > New Oracle Cloud Account

 

     Before filling details in above shown form keep your REST endpoint handy. Its shown in Step-2

• Display Name: It could be anything, which helps you to recognize cloud environment.
• User Name: This is important. Most of the time mistake we make is we directly provide username. It actually has two parts. First part is last part of REST endpoint url [Storage-<IdentityDomain>]. Second part is your oracle cloud username. Now join both of them using colon (:)
• Password: Your oracle cloud password.
• Authentication Service: This is another important part. You can provide two values here. 
• Take REST endpoint url and remove /v1/Storage-<IdentityDomain> and replace it with /auth/V1.0 as shown in above diagram.
• Another way is if you have us2 datacenter you can use https://us2.storage.oraclecloud.com/auth/v1.0

4. Thats all, Now you can start managing cloud using Cloud Berry
