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 some basic recipes to get the reader started working with the Oracle Service Bus (OSB). We will first develop the simplest possible service on the OSB with only one proxy service and then recipe by recipe add some more functionality to that service. In contrast to the other chapters, the recipes in this chapter are dependent on each other, and all the recipes of this chapter should therefore, be done in order. On the other hand, each single recipe can also be applied standalone by importing the 'getting-ready' project referenced in the Getting, Ready section of each recipe.

In some of the recipes, we will also define the best practices and development conventions that we will use for this book, however, they are also applicable in any other project. We teach how to best structure a project using Eclipse OEPE (with the OSB plugin installed).

In this recipe, we will implement a mediation service in the OSB, which consumes a web service from an external CRM system.
