With the transition to SOA Suite 12c, OSB development is finally supported in JDeveloper. As with SOA composites, JDeveloper has the ability to deploy OSB code, but it is not the recommended method for administrators. Though OSB projects can be deployed through a web-based console, using WLST via the command line allows us to create repeatable scripts for a more expedient and automated deployment process.
Note
SOA composites are deployed and undeployed. OSB services are imported and deleted. They essentially mean the same thing.
