Oracle SOA Governance 11g Implementation

Overview of this book

Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural style created to address the challenges posed by today’s highly distributed, fast-paced computing. This goal is achieved by constructing business-focused software systems from loosely coupled, interoperable building blocks called Services. Organizations often fail to successfully implement SOA due to a lack of effective governance. Oracle SOA Governance is a comprehensive, service-orientated architecture governance solution that is designed to make the transition to SOA easier."Oracle SOA Governance 11g Implementation" illustrates how to successfully implement SOA governance in your organization. To achieve this, we describe how goals and objectives need to be clearly laid out and used to align governance processes with governance tools, governance tools with people, and people with the different roles and responsibilities that are required to implement effective governance."Oracle SOA Governance 11g Implementation" begins with a short but concise overview of SOA governance. We then go to explore real world examples, based on previous experiences and working solutions, in order to learn the concepts of Oracle SOA Governance Suite.We will also learn how to implement an OER-centric SDLC process to address your organizations design-time governance requirements. Next, we will explore OSR, and discover how to use it to expose service implementations to consumers based on UDDI concepts. We will explore the features available within Web Service Manager (WSM), Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM), and Business Transaction Manager (BTM). Finally, we discover how OER can be extended to govern Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA) implementations.Discover and learn how to use Oracle SOA Governance Suite to address your specific design-time and runtime governance challenges.

Understanding UDDI taxonomies


Taxonomies are structures that can be used to organize information. UDDI employs taxonomies to classify entities in a consistent manner so that they can be located within a registry. For example, Service Providers use taxonomy to indicate that a service implements a specific domain standard, or that it provides services for a specific geographic area. These taxonomies make it easier for consumers to find services that match their specific requirements.

UDDI allows publishers to define multiple taxonomies to be used in a registry. Users can employ an unlimited number of appropriate classification systems simultaneously. The choice of which taxonomy is used can be left to the user or can be specified based on the role of the user. Tailored views of a UDDI Registry can be created with no customization by assigning user profiles to taxonomies and granting access via a controlled mechanism. Technical users might use taxonomies to group services by technical characteristics...
