In October 2009 I posted about the announcement of the SOA Manifesto during the SOA Symposium 2009. For those of you interested, InfoQ has interviewed the original author’s and in some cases pulled in their comments on the manifesto from the web to get insight into the motivations and the process behind the initiative. The [...]

When you are familar with the Oracle Database and Middleware stack, chances are that you came across the Enterprise Manager. It comes in many versions for the database or the middleware and differs in its features. If meet someone who talks about Enterprise Manager, it might be possible that this person is talking about something completely different - Enterprise Manager Grid Control. Enterprise Manager Grid Control is the Oracle product for the data center that monitors all databases - and middleware components as well as operating systems.

Especially for Patchset 2 of SOA Suite 11g we have put a focus on java development and the developer, which might not have skills to employ WSDL / XSD or XML every day, yet still wants to use the platform for monitoring, versioning and what not.

Clemens published a list of the new features coming up in the patchset 2 of SOA Suite 11gR1.
short overview

SOA Infra’s Spring C&I implementation (based on weblogic sca for java) becomes full production.
Full and complete support for BPEL 2.0
Reintroduction of “BPEL domains”, now to be called “partitions”
Enhancements to BPEL’s transactional behavior and audit-trail

Summary:

Yesterday Clemens Utschig posted a list of SOA Suite 11gR1 Patchset 2 ~ 11.1.1.3.0 (SOA) features. He says it is a non-exhaustive list. It contains features like:

Full and complete support for BPEL 2.0 (designtime and runtime)
Reintroduction of “BPEL domains” – that are called Partitions because there are already WebLogic Domains
Enhancements to BPEL’s transactional behavior and [...]

Start your engines – here is a list of upcoming SOA Suite 11g PS2 features (and for future reference all of the below features are based on PCBPEL_11.1.1.3.0_GENERIC_100304.1300.2441).

I attended a workshop last week and we came to discuss “the Cloud”. Here are some thoughts and I encourage people to comment on what you’ll find below.

The context I am going to base my thoughts on, is the paradigm of IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) [which is one incarnation of "da cloud"]

In this posting I will describe how you can integrate Oracle B2B 11g and Oracle Service Bus 10gR3 to send messages to Oracle B2B 11g from an OSB 10gR3 service.

Okay so everyone knows what a principle is, its a core concept that you are going to measure things about. I've seen projects littered with the buggers.The problem is that there is another concept that is rarely listed, what are your anti-principles?In the same way as Anti-Patterns give you pointers when its all gone wrong then Anti-Principles are the things that you will actively aim to avoid

This week I came across a good overview of Java Web Frameworks:
The presentation (that will be given at TSSJS Las Vegas 2010) this time-line originates from, can be found here. The overview was created by Matt Raible of Raible Designs.

Hi all,
I have been holed up since December finishing up my latest book endeaver titled Modern SOA Infrastructure. This is part of the Prentice Hall Service Oriented Computing Series with Thomas Erl. I worked with Thomas Erl on the SOA Design Patterns book and found it to be a positive experience so I jumped at the chance to do this too. So far it has worked out well.

Simone and her team of WLI experts published the next article in the SOA Suite for WLI users series.

It is our pleasure to announce the publishing of another article in our "SOA Suite Essentials for WLI Users" series: Setting Web Service and JCA Adapter Endpoints Dynamically in Oracle SOA Suite.

Today Greg from our a-team called in with an interesting question.

Paraphrased it was like this:
"I have a sync [req/response] bpel process that uses a jms adapter with request/reply pattern, and throw a fault based on the response from the adapter call [after the receive from the adapter plnk]. When I invoke this process I don't get the fault but after a certain time a ReceiveTimeoutException from the soa layer. Has this something to do with the threading?"

The short answer is yes it has to do with the threading model.
