Configuring and administering JCA adapters and binding components

After deploying the composite to the SOA infrastructure, one of the main things to address is how to manage and configure properties for binding components packaged inside. Binding components are network protocols and mechanisms connecting your composite to external services, applications, and technologies (such as messaging queues, databases, web services, and so on.). Binding components in Oracle SOA Suite 12c are of two kinds:

  • Services: Services provide an entry point to the composite and advertise their capabilities to external applications by exchanging their service metadata information through a WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) file. The service bindings define how client applications can invoke a composite. Examples of service bindings from the sales order composite in Figure 7.10 are an HTTP-based web service, JCA (Java EE Connector Architecture) based file polling service, and a Direct Binding service.
