Find and Replace JCA properties for Service Bus 12C / OSB 11G using Maven

We can create and edit a customization file in which we can only replace Proxy Service/Business Service artifacts and some JCA properties like JCA Always Use JCA File Flag, JCA Connection Mode.

But in real time scenarios, we are required to modify JCA properties such as PhysicalDirectory/LogicalDirectory/JNDI Location which is not possible using OSB customization file

Using "maven-replacer-plugin:replacer" we can build plugin to replace tokens within a file with a given value and fully supports regular expressions.

Plugin artifactId was renamed to "replacer" from "maven-replacer-plugin" due to a naming policy change from the Maven team.

This plugin is typically used to change configuration within a project during a maven build. It also can perform some advanced text replacement functions, such as providing a separate token/value file to keep your build script concise, writing resulting text after replacement to a separate file and token matching with regular expressions. There is even support for making exact document node replacements via X-Path. 

Simple example usage:

<build>
    <plugins>
        ...
       <plugin>
           <groupId>com.google.code.maven-replacer-plugin</groupId>
           <artifactId>replacer</artifactId>
           <version>1.5.3</version>
           <executions>
               <execution>
                   <phase>prepare-package</phase>
                   <goals>
                       <goal>replace</goal>
                   </goals>                  
               </execution>
           </executions>
           <configuration>
               <file>target/${project.artifactId}/somefile.txt</file>
               <replacements>
                   <replacement>
                       <token>SOME TOKEN</token>
                       <value>SOME VALUE</value>
                   </replacement>        
               </replacements>
           </configuration>
       </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

I have create a sample Service Bus Project FileDebatching which will read the file in chunks from a location (will configure using JCA FileAdapter ) and writes into another location

For the Read File, I have the Physical Directory location as C:\TestFiles\ChunkFile\FileChunck\INPUT

Now, I will deploy the composite using Maven. Below are the plugin properties available in project pom.xml.

JCA File Properties in Service Bus Console after the deployment

Now using maven-replacer-plugin:replacer plugin we will replace the PhysicalDirectory location.

Go into the Project pom.xml then add the replacer plugin with the file name and token which is to be replaced.

I have fileService_file.jca file inside Resources location

Below is pom.xml plugin details added with replacer token

<file>Resources/fileService_file.jca</file>

          <replacements>

            <replacement>

              <token>C:\\TestFiles\\ChunkFile\\FileChunck\\INPUT</token>

              <value>C:\\TestFiles\\ChunkFile\\FileChunck\\IN</value>

            </replacement>

Redeploy the Service again

Now in Service bus Console

Note: The Replacer will replace the token in fileService_file.jca file and then deploy the service, so the file is modified with the new token.
