Oracle Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook

Overview of this book

Oracle Service Bus 11g is a scalable SOA integration platform that delivers an efficient, standards-based infrastructure for high-volume, mission critical SOA environments. It is designed to connect, mediate, and manage interactions between heterogeneous services, legacy applications, packaged solutions and multiple Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) instances across an enterprise-wide service network. Oracle Service Bus is a core component in the Oracle SOA Suite as a backbone for SOA messaging. This practical cookbook shows you how to develop service and message-oriented (integration) solutions on the Oracle Service Bus 11g. Packed with over 80 task-based and immediately reusable recipes, this book starts by showing you how to create a basic OSB service and work efficiently and effectively with OSB. The book then dives into topics such as messaging with JMS transport, using EJB and JEJB transport, HTTP transport and Poller transports, communicating with the database, communicating with SOA Suite and Reliable Message Processing amongst others. The last two chapters discuss how to achieve message and transport-level security on the OSB.

Introduction


In this chapter, we will cover the HTTP transport.

The HTTP transport allows sending messages between clients and service providers through Oracle Service Bus using the http(s) protocol. The HTTP transport also provides support for working with RESTful (REST = Representational State Transfer) services.

The HTTP transport can be used on the proxy service to accept inbound messages over the HTTP protocol as well as on the business service to implement outbound communication over HTTP.

We have already used the HTTP transport when implementing the SOAP-based service in Chapter 1, Creating a basic OSB service. In this chapter, we will present how to work with the HTTP transport without using SOAP.
