Oracle Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook

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

With the release 11g of the Oracle Service Bus there are two transports for directly communicating to an EJB session bean layer, the EJB, and the JEJB transport. The first was already available in previous versions of OSB whereas the latter, the JEBJ transport, has been introduced with 11g.

The EJB transport is only available for business services whereas the JEJB transport can be used both on a proxy service as well as for business services.

The EJB transport uses the Java Web Services ( JWS) framework to invoke remote EJBs
The JEJB transport uses an RMI serialization/deserialization cycle and passes Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) directly through the OSB to the remote EJBs.

The EJB and JEJB business services both call the session beans, but there is an important difference between these two transports. With the JEJB transport the request and response remain Java object (POJO) and will not be transformed to XML. This is great for performance but it means you cannot change the...
