Because Oracle BPEL 10G does not have a as strong validation of BPEL processes as in Oracle 11G it is possible that 10G services which appeared in 10g syntactically correct fail to compile after migrating to 11G. One error which can occur is 'Error: Load of wsdl "{WSDL_A} with Message part element undefined in wsdl [{WSDL_B}] part name = parameters type = …" failed'.

The error is caused by a conflicting namespace in one of the imported WSDL or Schema files. This can be a WSDL or Schema directly imported in the composite.xml or a WSDL or Schema imported by another WSDL. The error is misleading, the root cause of the error will with any certainty not be in the reported file WSDL_A. When having more complex BPEL services with multiple partnerlinks it can be challenging to find the namespace conflict. Here a structured way to get to the source of the problem.

For some 'homework' i needed a (bash) script to start the soapUI mockservicerunner on Oracle Linux which could start the mock service regardless of the soapUI installation directory. I could not find a single reference to the installation directory, and therefore wrote some code to find the installation location, To speed up the detection the script first searches the directories where you might expect to find soapUI, secondly in less logical locations. When found, the soapUI installation directory is stored in the script itself to speed up future executions of the script. Here it is, have fun !
