Oracle Service Bus workshop, WAAI project feedback

Yesterday we had the 'feedback' day/evening from the WAAI project over at IT-eye. Part of the idea of the WAAI project is to spread the knowledge inside the company so we all know about he nice upcoming things of the Oracle Fusion 11g stack. One of my colleagues started with the Oracle BPM presentation and workshop. Some nice info and good exercises to get in touch with the new BPM. After that the playground was mine. A few hours of hard work and exhausted colleagues trying to complete...

ALSB Console project out of sync with file system

Short reminder for myself During development of my alsb projects i clone, rename, move and do all sorts of things to eventually end of with one correct list of projects with good naming convention. Once in a while when i try to rename for example proxy services back to some old name i already used i get errors about the new name already exists, although i'm pretty sure it's not in the console anymore. Short fix [sourcecode language='xml']\user_projects\domains\\sbgen\[/sourcecode] Find...

Book review : Processing XML Documents with JDeveloper 11g

Processing XML Documents with JDeveloper 11g A while back i got asked by Packt to do a review on the book "Processing XML Documents with JDeveloper 11g". With me, some other con colleagues, so googling a bit will give you a good impression what others think about it. The first impression which i have based on the my reading experience from the other Pack books, is that the books are easy too read and you won't get overwhelmed with massive amounts of information. But just enough overview...

RESTful Services with Oracle Service Bus

Restify existing services Today i came across a nice article from jeff x davies on "RESTful Services with Oracle Service Bus". A nice example on how to map the different http methods to your flows in osb. The testconsole is easy to use when doing the http calls and adding the query parameters (id=10).

Oracle Service Bus, use of shared resources

At the moment i'm busy with a migration of an alsb 2.6 enviroment to an alsb 3.0 enviroment. In the alsb processes extra functionality is invoked by making use of the java call outs. Nothing wrong with this if you ask me, the only thing which i'm wondering is, wont these java call outs mess up the transactional context of alsb processes itself. At the moment the libraries which are being used are deployed with every servicebus process itself. So we have/had some sort of default structure...
