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


The Java Message Service (JMS) specification defines a standard API for accessing messaging systems. It allows applications to consume and send messages to any JMS-compliant messaging server. JMS supports two distinct message models:

  • point-to-point – The message producer (sender) creates a message and sends it to destination known as a queue. Message consumers (receivers) process messages placed in a queue. Each message can only be processed by one receiver and they are by default delivered in first-in-first-out (FIFO) order. This is also known as point-to-point messaging model.

  • publish-subscribe – The message producer (sender) creates a message and sends it to a destination known as a topic. Messages sent or published to a topic are delivered to active consumers, known as subscribers . Subscribers have indicated their interest by subscribing to a topic. Subscriptions can either be durable or nondurable. A nondurable subscription only last as long as the subscriber is connected...
