Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1 Developer's Guide

Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1 Developer's Guide

Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1 Developer's Guide By Matt Wright, Antony Reynolds
Publisher: Packt Publishing 2010 | 720 Pages | ISBN: 1849680183 | PDF | 23.67 MB

Develop Service-Oriented Architecture Solutions with the Oracle SOA Suite
Overview of Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1 Developer's Guide
A hands-on, best-practice guide to using and applying the Oracle SOA Suite in the delivery of real-world SOA applications
Detailed coverage of the Oracle Service Bus, BPEL PM, Rules, Human Workflow, Event Delivery Network, and Business Activity Monitoring
Master the best way to use and combine each of these different components in the implementation of a SOA solution
Illustrates key techniques and best practices using a working example of an online auction site (oBay)

In Detail
We are moving towards a standards-based Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), where IT infrastructure is continuously adapted to keep up with the pace of business change. Oracle is at the forefront of this vision, with the Oracle SOA Suite providing the most comprehensive, proven, and integrated tool kit for building SOA-based applications.
Developers and Architects using the Oracle SOA Suite, whether working on integration projects, building composite applications, or specializing in implementations of Oracle Applications, need a hands-on guide on how best to harness and apply this technology. This book will guide you on using and applying the Oracle SOA Suite to solve real-world problems, enabling you to quickly learn and master the technology and its applications.
This book is a major update to Oracle SOA Suite Developer's Guide, which covered 10gR3. It is completely updated for Oracle SOA Suite 11gR1, with 40% new material, including detailed coverage of newer components, such as: the Mediator, the new Rules Editor, the Event Delivery Network, Service Data Objects, and the Meta Data Repository. There is also a complete additional chapter on advanced SOA Architecture including message delivery, transaction handling and clustering considerations.
The initial section of the book provides you with a detailed hands-on tutorial to each of the core components that make up the Oracle SOA Suite. Once you are familiar with the various pieces of the SOA Suite and what they do, the next question will typically be:
"What is the best way to use and combine all of these different components to implement a real-world SOA solution?" Answering this question is the goal of the next section. Using a working example of an online auction site (oBay), it leads you through key SOA design considerations in implementing a robust solution that is designed for change.
The final section addresses non-functional considerations and covers the packaging, deployment, and testing of SOA applications. It then details how to secure and administer SOA applications.
Use and apply the Oracle SOA Suite in the implementation of real-world SOA applications
