Parameter for BPEL process - netbeans

I use OpenESB + BPEL. I would like to use some parameter to set system specific settings (path, string constants, etc.). I tried to use a properties file that a simple java class should read up and use with this method (http://wiki.open-esb.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=BPELSEHowToCallJavaMethods).
The problem is that I can't create properties file in BPEL project (not supported). So I created a file by hand. But this file is not included in the deployed app.
Is there any working solution for including property file or is there any other method to set parameters on BPEL process?
Thanks,
Hubidubi
UPDATE:
I found that using application variables is the solution. I defined some variable, but I can't figure out how can I use them in BPEL.

IIRC you reference them via a ${VariableName} directive. I used to use them in OpenESB-Netbeans so I know they work...
Check out http://wiki.open-esb.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=ApplicationConfiguration

Afaik there is also some kind of preferences for a bpel process that you can set in the bpel file. To reference them in your bpel process, there is function getPreference(key). I successfully use this with the Oracle BPEL stuff.

How to create a custom annotation processor for Eclipse

I'm trying to create a custom annotation processor that generates code at compilation time (as hibernate-jpamodelgen does). I've looked in the web, and I find custom annotation processors that works with maven, but do nothing when added to the Annotation Processing > Factory Path option. How could I create a processor compatible in this way? I have not found a tutorial that works.
My idea is to, for example, annotate an entity to generate automatically a base DTO, a base mapper, etc that can be extended to use in the final code.
Thank you all
OK, Already found out the problem. The tutorial I hda found out dint't specified that, in order to the compiler to be able to apply the annotation processor, there must be a META-INF/services/javax.annotation.processing.Processor file that contains the qualified class name of the processor (or processors).
I created the file pointing to my processor class, generated the jar and added it to Annotation Processing > Factory Path and all worked correctly.
Just be careful to keep the order of the processors correctly (for example, hibernate model generator claims the classes, so no more generation will be made after it), and change the jar file name each time you want to replace the library (it seems eclipse keeps a cache). These two things have given me a good headache.
Thanks all

Use ResourceSet within another Plugin

I use a xtext generated DSL in my project. I now want to generate some files with a wizard. I can currently create these files just by adding some strings to the file. But initially i wanted to create a Model Object of the DSL and add the new generated file to the resource set. I can't find a way accessing this without the StandaloneSetup of the DSL.
I'm now unsure if the use of the StandaloneSetup inside the Editor is the correct way, since it seems there should be a better way to access the already build up resource set used by the xtext framework to manage the already known files/sources. If i use the StandaloneSetup shouldn't there be 2 Injectors which could get really bad?
you can use the resource service provider registry to obtain the injector

how to run the example of uima-text-segmenter?

I want to call the API of uima-text-segmenter https://code.google.com/p/uima-text-segmenter/source/browse/trunk/INSTALL?r=22 to run an example.
But I don`t know how to call the API...
the readme said,
With the DocumentAnalyzer, run the following descriptor
`desc/textSegmenter/wst-snowball-C99-JTextTilingAAE.xml` by taking the
uima-examples data as input.
Could anyone give me some code which could be run directly in main func for example?
Thanks a lot!
Long answer:
The link describes how you would set up the application from within the Eclipse UIMA environment. This sort of set-up is typically targeted at subject matter specialists with little or no coding experience. It allows them to work (relatively fast) with UIMA in a declarative way: all data structures and analysis engines (computing blocks within UIMA) are declared in xml (with a GUI on top of it), after which the framework takes care of the rest. In this scenario, you would typically run a UIMA pipeline using a run configuration from within Eclipse (or the included UIMA pipeline runner application). Luckily, UIMA allows you to do exactly the same from code, but I would recommend using UIMAFit (http://uima.apache.org/d/uimafit-current/tools.uimafit.book.html#d5e137) for this purpose instead of of UIMA, as it bundles lots of useful things and coding shortcuts.
Short answer:
Using UIMAFit, you can call Factory methods that create CollectionReader (read input), AnalysisEngine (process input) and Consumer objects (write/do other stuff) from (third-party provided) XML files. Use these methods to construct your pipeline and the SimplePipeline class to run it. To extract the data you need, you would manipulate the CAS object (containing your data) in a Consumer object, possibly with a callback. You could also do this in a Analysis Engine object. I recommend using DKPro's FeaturePathFactory (https://code.google.com/p/dkpro-core-asl/source/browse/de.tudarmstadt.ukp.dkpro.core-asl/trunk/de.tudarmstadt.ukp.dkpro.core.api.featurepath-asl/src/main/java/de/tudarmstadt/ukp/dkpro/core/api/featurepath/FeaturePathFactory.java?spec=svn1811&r=1811) to quickly access the feature you are after.
Code examples:
http://uima.apache.org/d/uimafit-current/tools.uimafit.book.html#d5e137 contains examples, but they all go in the opposite direction (class objects are used in the factory methods, instead of XML files - XML is generated from these classes). Take a look at the UIMAFit API to find the method you need, AnalysisEngineDescription from XML for example: http://uima.apache.org/d/uimafit-current/api/org/apache/uima/fit/factory/AnalysisEngineFactory.html#createEngineDescriptionFromPath-java.lang.String-java.lang.Object...-

Is it possible to manage ldap contexts in jboss?

In the same way that JBoss can manage jdbc data sources can it manage LDAP contexts using JNDI?
Yes, this is just a Tomcat custom <Resource>, see the Tomcat documentation.
In brief, just define a and provide your own implementation of an LdapContextFactory. JBoss will call your getObjectInstance() method with a first parameter that you can cast to a Reference, traverse all its RefAddrs, and get your option names via RefAddr.getType(), and their values via RefAddr.getContent(). Then you use whatever you have passed there to create your LdapContext and return it.

IBM Eclipse WSDL Editor: How do I include an external wsdl/schema?

I am trying to create Web Services from the Top-Down approach. I downloaded Eclipse and am using the WSDL gui editor in it to build my WSDL files.
I am splitting up my Services based on "modules". The Types I am adding to the WSDLs all need to reference common stuff, such as PersonEntity, AddressEntity, States enumeration (simple type), Countries enumeration (simple type), and AbstractEntity. Since those items are all common I created a seperate WSDL file (named Commons.wsdl) that contains the type information for those types.
I want to "import" that WSDL into my other WSDL files to use:
For example, I have an entity named RegistrationEntity which inherits from AbstractEntity and contains a PersonEntity as well as an AddressEntity. I'm not sure how to do this... I saw that the WSDL spec has "import" and "include" and am not sure which one to use. Also, how do I actually import (or include) the Commons.wsdl file so that I can use the Types defined within it?
Thanks!
Oh, and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to stick this stuff in a seperate WSDL but another type of file such as an xsd or something. I really wanna follow best practices so if that's the proper way to do it then I'd rather do that.
I found out that the problem I had was I was creating a WSDL file for my commons and using an inline scheme for that, rather than creating an XSD file to be imported by my other WSDLs.
So instead I just created an Commons.XSD as my "Common Schema".
